Once, she was reading on the window-seat behind a curtain. John came and drove her away.To her anger, she defended herself, but her aunt came and commanded tolock her in the red-room.Feelings: I feel really bad for Jane as a child at her age. Imagine if I were herat that time, I may give myself up and die early.Even if facing such bad situation, she still loved reading. I admire her very much.Chapter2Summary:Jane was dragged away by two servants, Bessie and Miss Abbot,and locked in the red-room. It was the place where her Uncle Reed died. Thus, the whole atmosphere reminded her of ghosts. She couldn’tstand it anymore and passed out.Feelings: I can ’thelp feeling that Jane was suffering some kind of mental disease because her aunt and cousins’attitude towards her. Poor little child!I hope some time in the future it can be healed.Chapter3Summary:The doctor Mr. Lloyd came to see if Jane was OK. He asked herwhether she would like to go to school or not and that was all. Meanwhile,Miss Abbot told Bessie about Jane. Her mother was Mr. Reed’ssister. Shemarried a nearly penniless clergyman, and her father was furious and hadnothing more to do with her. They went away to work among poor people,caught typhoid, and died when Miss Jane was a baby, so she was sent toGateshead Hall. Bessie felt sorry after hearing these.Feelings: Jane was sure unfortunate, but to some extent, she was really lucky.She had someone like Bessie who cared about her. I think Jane will start a newlife at school.Chapter4Summary: Jane was introduced to a school’sheadmaster Mr. Brocklehurst.Her aunt talked bad about her to that tall, grim man, which means her schoollife didn ’thave a good beginning.Feelings: I just feel sick for Mrs. Reed’sbehavior. One cannot judge others no matter what, let alone she was Jane’s aunt. What she had done could probably destroy Jane’swhole life!Chapter5Summary:Jane arrived at a school at Lowood. The living condition there wasreally poor. Girls there only had a little food to eat and some of it couldn’tbe called as “food ”.But there was a teacher called Miss Miller who cared aboutthe girls, ordering extra bread and cheese for them.Feelings: I wonder why on earth there was a school like that in the past. Whatkind of parents would send their children to hell on earth? I am worried aboutJane right now.Chapter6Summary:Helen was a friend of Jane when she was at school. There was ateacher called Miss Scatcherd who was always directed against Helen. Shescolded Helen whenever she had a chance. But Helen was pretty positivetowards these. She believed that since life was short, we should be happy.Feelings: Helen had a strong character as a kid. I think that must due to her early experience as an orphan. She could face anything p eacefully.Many adults can ’tdo that in my opinion.Chapter7Summary:Mr. Brocklehurst announced to all the girls in the school that Janewas a liar and he warned them against her. But Helen trusted her and gaveher courage.Feelings: It ’srude to say bad things about others no matter in front of themor behind their backs. Mr. Brocklehurst’sbehavior can be really hurtful.Chapter8......Summary:Miss Temple was another person who chose to believe Jane. Sheasked Mr. Lloyd whether Jane’sside of story was true. As Mr. Lloyd convincedJane’sword, Miss Temple announced to the school that Jane was innocent ofMr. Brocklehurst ’scharges against her.Feelings: Miss Temple is that kind of person who gives you a light of hopewhen you are truly down. It’sa great luck to have such a person be your side and support you. I think Miss Temple will influence Jane throughout her lifetime.Chapter9Summary:Typhoid fever struck Lowood when spring came. Thus, many ofthe students were kept apart. Helen was also ill, not typhoid but with consumption. Knowing Helen might die soon, Jane couldn’thelp tiptoeing tothe room Helen stayed in to be with her as her last company. They spent anight together and Helen died in Jane’sarm during her dream.Feelings: Helen ’sdeath was a great loss for Jane in my opinion. But anyhow,Helen ’sspirit leaves a deep impression on me, and I believe, on everyone whohas ever read this book.Chapter10Summary:Soon after the typhoid, there was an inquiry, which brought tolight the truth about Lowood with its wretched clothing, poor food, and badconditions.

Jane’sbright new life starts right now.Chapter12Summary:Jane met Mr. Rochester on her way to post a letter. Mr. Rochestersprained his ankle in the lane.Feelings: It ’sa pretty strange way to meet your employer the first time likethat. I bet there would be interesting stories between them.Chapter13Summary:Adele was having a lot of trouble concentrating when she knowsMr. Rochester was downstairs—she kept trying to sneak downstairs to seehim or to guess what presented he might have brought her. Mr. Rochesterand Jane talked about Jane’searly experiences and Mr. Rochester called Janeas elf. Thus, Jane considered Mr. Rochester changeful and abrupt.Feelings: I kind of feel the same as Jane did. How could an almost strangersay such rude thing during our first chat? If I were Jane, I might be reallyangry.Chapter14Summary: One evening, Rochester sent for Jane and Adele after d inner. Suddenly, because she was staring at him, Rochester asked Jane if she thought he ’ s handsome. Without thinking, she g ave an honest answer: no.Rochester told her that he’ s feeling chatty tonight, and ordered Jane to chatwith him about something. While Jane and Rochester had been talking, Adelehad run out to try on one of the dresses that were among her new presentsfrom Rochester. When she comes back and frolics around in the dress, shelooks just like her mother.Feelings: I don ’t know why but I just feel that the whole conversationbetween them is super intense and kind of awkward to me...Chapter15Summary: One day when Mr. Rochester and Jane were wandering in the garden, Mr. Rochester talked about Adele ’s mother, Celine Varens.

After hearing this, Janewas pretty sure that Mr. Rochester would not be with her no matter what, soshe became really sad.Feelings: I don ’tthink Mr. Rochester is that kind of guy who only cares aboutmoney and beauty to be honest. And if he has feelings for Jane, he maymarry her.Chapter17Summary:Everyone spends the three days making frantic preparations for allthe guests. When they rode up, some in carriages and some on horses, abeautiful woman in a purple dress was riding beside Rochester. It’ s Blanche Ingram!

Rochester came out after Jane and asked why she didn’ t comeand talk to him in the drawing room. He wanted her to come back, but hecould tell she’ s about to cry, so he let her go.Feelings: Now I am more than sure that Jane was in love with Mr. Rochester completely. It ’sobvious that Miss Blanche’sheart is not as beautiful as her appearance, so basically Mr. Rochester won’tchoose her over Jane.Chapter18Summary: With Rochester absent, a stranger arrived at Thornfield.The stranger, whose name was Mason, claimed to be an old friend of Mr. Rochester Later’s. that day, a strange gypsy woman arrived, offering to telltheir fortunes.

The servant, Sam, told Jane that the gypsy woman said she kne w there’ s another single woman in the group,and that she thought that must mean her. Jane’ s curious about the woman, soshe went to see her and had her own fortune told.Feelings: Though I wonder who Mason was,I m’more excited about the storybetween Jane and that“gypsy woman”.It could be really interesting!Chapter19Summary:Jane entered the library and saw the old gypsy woman reading aprayer-book by the fire. Her hat and handkerchief threw shadows over herface. The gypsy asked Jane about Mr. Rochester, and when she did n ’ t saymuch in response, the gypsy suggested that Mr. Rochester was in love with Blanche Ingram. Jane admitted that the rumor was that Rochester and Blanche were engaged, but corrected the woman on one thing—they werenot in love. In a moment, the woman’ s voicedchange—theold gypsy womanwas Mr. Rochester in disguise, and he’singjustwithbeenveryonemes. Shetold him about Mason’ s arrival, and he’ s so horrifiedouldnthat’ hetevenc stand up anymore. Then, Jane called Mason to meet Mr. Rochester in theroom.Feelings: From this chapter, I m’happy to see that Mr. Rochester loved Janetoo and he wanted to see if Jane had the same feelings as he did. From ourpoint of view, they both love each other more than anything. However, Mr.Rochester ’sbehavior shows that Mason ’ s presence means something terriblehas happened, or will happen.Chapter20Summary:Everyone in the house is woken up by all the noise. The guestsstumble around in the corridor in their robes, but nobody seems to knowwhat ’goings on. Jane gets dressed, then sits by the window waiting.

While Mason is sent away, Rochester and Jane are leftalone together outside the house, and he asks her to walk with him in thewoods as the sun is rising before they go back to Thornfield Hall.Feelings: Mason is bitten by somebody!

Jane sat up in bed, shocked: the woman wasn’ t anyone she knew at Thornfield, but someone else, a stranger. The stranger was a tallwoman with long, dark hair dressed in white; her face was disturbing, withbloodshot red eyes, swollen, dark lips, and thick black eyebrows.

(In Chapter23 and Chapter37) Jane agreed to both but the first time they didn’tget married successfully because Jane knew about Mr. Rochester had already been married during their wedding.

The kitten was so cold that there was no warmth at all, and he was so weak that he can hardly stand on himself. No one knew how he got into the box. They rescued him and took a warm water bath for him. After the bath, a beautiful, long-haired orange baby presented before their eyes.The poor little kitten attracted the librarians’ care. The little kitten seemed to be thankful to everyone he met for saving his life. Vicki wanted to adopt him.Chapter 2 A Perfect AdditionThe staff of the library showed love and interest to the kitten.

Doris Armstrong, the grandparent on the staff, brought a pink blanket for the kitten next morning.Dewey began to meet someone outside the staff of the library. If the staff wanted to keep the kitten, he must be admitted by the people in Spencer. Vicki first called the mayor, but he seemed not be enthusiastic. Then she took him to see Mary Houston, the historian of Spenser. Mary love the kitten very much and thought it was a good idea to have a kitten in the library. Dewey became famous in Spencer gradually. But some mothers were afraid that their children would be allergic to the cat. Vicki solicited the advice of two general practice doctors. They assured that it was safe to have Dewey. Many children loved Dewey and Dewey loved children, too. The library became Dewey’s home.Chapter 3 Dewey Readmore BooksThe staff saved Dewey, and Dewey saved the people in Spencer, too. In the 1980s, a farm crisis broke out in Spencer. It was primarily a financial disaster. It caused the price of land began to drop and credit dried up. The farmers in Spencer had to sell their lands and go out to find jobs. The town was dying. ―One of the worst things about bad times is the effect on your mind‖(Page 25), but Dewey’s coming changed it. His story resonated with the people. He believed everything would go to be fine. Dewey made the old patrons think that they came to the library not only to kill time. He sent happy to the people there.The staff set up a Name the Kitty contest. The kitten received names like Garfield, Tiger, and Fleabag and so on. But the most entries were for Dewey. At last, the kitten’s name is Dewey Readmore books.Chapter 4 A Day in the LibraryWhen Vicki arrived at library every morning, Dewey was waiting for her at thefront door. Dewey had an amazing sense of who needed him. He was interested in everything.In the library, it was easy for Dewey to find a public place to have a quick nap. A lap, a box and even the back of a copier. The staff set a Dewey Box in the back room to save money for Dewey and sell soda cans. In return for their a little contribution, they get endless happiness from Dewey. Before Dewey’s coming, the staff had become splintered. But once the little kitten arrived, the tension disappeared. Sometimes, Dewey would play jokes on them.Vicky took Dewey to Dr. Easterly’s office. Dr. Easterly was a vet. He neutered Dewey though Vicki was heart-broken. Vicki and Dewey’s relationship was not only friends, just like mom and son. Dewey loved everyone, but he loved Vicki deeper.Chapter 5 Catnip and Rubber bandsThough Dewey was beautiful and trusting, but not everything was perfect with him. He may work all night to go into the closet to sleep on a puppet. He loved catnip most, the smell would make him crazy. Another thing he was most interested in was rubber band. His nose could smell them across the library and easily find them. Though the staff didn’t give Dewey rubber bands, he could steal by himself. They have to make sure everyone’s drawer was completely closed. They clean all the places where rubber bands probably existed, and at last people could hardly find a rubber band in the library. ―He was far more intent on eating rubber bands than we were on stopping him.‖(Page 46)Anyway, Dewey’s true love was people. The library was small for human, but it means the whole world full of many interested things to Dewey.Chapter 6 MonetaVicki’s great-grandfather Norman Jipson amassed enough land to his children. Her family lived on this land and run a big farm when she was young. Not far away from her father’s farm was the Roof Garden, the most popular place in Iowa in the 1940s. There her father met her mother. Her mother’s family was Catholic, but she run away and married Vicki’s father. The couple had six children. Vicki’s childhood was difficult but full of funny. She and her sisters and brothers played baseball with other children. The farm was empty and lonely at night, but everyone in the family had each other.Two miles from their eastern field was the town Moneta. Vicki once received education in the Moneta School. In the 1950s, the school was the proud of the people in Moneta, but it was shuttered in 1959. Two years after that, her father sold out the land and started selling insurance. Moneta was getting worse and worse. Vicki never found her home and her childhood memory again.Chapter 7 Grand AvenueIn the 1850s, Spencer was a town which could found on map—there was no resident at all. Later, some people decided to stay. Spencer incorporated in 1871. When the first generation grew too old to farm, they moved to Spencer. It wasn’t a industrial town but an agriculture town. On June 27, 1931, it was hot that day. An eight-year-old boy set a fire accidentally. The fire caused more than half of the businesses in the town were destroyed. The people didn’t claim the boy; on thecontrary, they kept the boy’s name a secret. They united together and rebuilt Spencer. In the late 1980s, people in Spencer once again pulled together in the farm crisis, and then the library was built then.When Vicki first arrived at the library, she wanted to remodel it. On the very beginning, the city council didn’t want to give money to her. But Dewey made a change. He made more and more people visit the library. Even better, they were talking about Dewey. Finally, the city council agreed to support Vicki.Chapter 8 A Cat’s Best FriendsDewey was so lovely and kind to people that almost everyone believed that himself or herself was the only best friend of Dewey. If Dewey appeared in the Story Hour, children could hardly calm down. But there was only person Dewey couldn’t win over. The girl was afraid of four-legged animals. So every time the girl came to the library, Vicki locked Dewey in her office though he was reluctant.Then it came to Dewey’s first birthday. The staff inferred the date was November 18.th by the date they found him. It was unbelievable that people in Spencer were sending cards to a cat! On the birthday party, Dewey received a cake made of cat-food. Children and adults smiled and giggled.Dewey loved everyone equally. But he had special relationship and it was with Crystal, who was easy to be neglected. She was a beautiful girl of about 11; however, she had little speech and controlled her limbs well.

In addition, when their loving dog, Brandy, was dead, Vicki did n’t told Jodi. Because she didn’t want Jodi see how much she was hurt. But in Jodi’s eyes, her mother ―was the woman who killed her dog and didn’t even care‖. Before Dewey arrived when Jodi was 16, they had little to talk about. Vicki felt that they were living separate lives.With Dewey, Vicki had something to talk about that Jodi would like to hear. Dewey was the only thing that could make their relationship lighthearted and playful. Meanwhile, Dewey loved Jodi crazily. On holidays when the library was closed, Vicki brought Dewey home. When Jodi came back home, he jumped right up and rushed to her. Wherever Jodi went, he followed. It didn’t matter where she sit on, he jumped on her laps and purred.Vicki and her daughter weren’t the only ones he helped. To some parents who worked long days, they had little time to take care their children. But Dewey filled the blank hours to some extent.Chapter 10 A Long W ay from HomeAfter Vicki’s graduation from high school, she got engaged to the third boy she had dated. But Vicki wanted to leave the small town, so she broke off the engagement. Then she moved to Mankato with her friend Sharon and they worked at Mankato Box Company. There Vicki met Wally Myron at a dance club. Wally was the person wholiked smiling and talking. They got married in July 1970 and Vicki got pregnant right away. But when she went to labor, the doctor used two doses of Pitocin in order to speed the process, which caused negative after-effects. Her doctor suggested exploratory surgery. In the operation, her ovaries and uterus were taken away. It meant that she couldn’t have children any more. Everything in Vicki’s world went black.From then on, Wally was addicted to alcohol. Everything had no sense for him except drinking. He promised many times that he would quit, and of course, nobody believed. On the contrary, Vicki’s family and friends helped a lot, especially when she needed help. Though she got help from many people, Vicki and her daughter’s life went into a difficult position. Eventually, Vicki couldn’t bare the life and divorced with Wally. With the help of welfare council, Vicki completed her college, becoming the first Jipson to earn a college diploma from a four-year college.Chapter 11 Hide-and-SeekAfter graduation, Vicky took the interview of the Spencer Public Library and she was admitted. Within months, she started new programs to develop the library. In 1987, she became the new director of the library. To improve she was the best person for the position, she joined The American Library Association-accredited long-distance master’s program. At the same time she threw herself into the remodeling of the library. She has to plan, research, and budget and so on. All of which meant, Vicky had little time with Jodi. Once Jodi had a party for her friends in her house, and all the things became a wreck. The mess didn’t bothered Vicky, but the relationship with Jodi made she couldn’t whip more work.A library after closing was a lonely place. Vicky had to stay late in the library because of her work. Then Dewey would play hide-and –seek with Vicky. With the company of Dewey, she never felt lonely. Whatever she needed, Dewey’gave her, without thought, without wanting something in return.Chapter 12 ChristmasChristmas was a holiday in Spencer celebrated together. After a stressful fall, Vicki was happy to stop thinking about school and remodeling, and for a change focusing on decorating —for the Christmas. When the staff pulled the plastic Christmas tree, Dewey became interested in it. He loved the tree very much. Dewey watched them assembling the tree and chewed the branches though he couldn’t eat them. Everyone thought Dewey found a new best friend. That year Dewey received enormous stack of gifts from the grateful patrons. But his favorite toy was a red yarn.The library was closed for a few days in Christmas. Dewey came home with Vicki. But he spent most of the time alone because Vicki and Jodi had to go back to Hartley. After Mid-night Mass on Christmas Eve, Vicki and Jodi headed home for Dewey, who as always was eager to see them.Chapter 13 A Great LibraryThe Spencer Public Library was founded in 1883 in Mrs. H. C. Crary’s parlor. In 1902, Andrew Carnegie granted the town $10,000 for a new library. The library opened on March 6, 1905. It was typical of Carnegie libraries. The ceiling was high and the windows enormous. The floorboards creaked when you walked on them. Itwas as quiet as a church. But a growing town, the library was beautiful but small. In 1971 the town tore the old building down to build a bigger, more modern, more efficient library. But the new building wasn’t right for a town like Spenser. Fewer people came to the library. So the staff decided to remodel it. While painting the bare concrete walls, the painter, Tony, became friends with Dewey. Dewey loved to climb to the top wall shelves and being up on the lights, which often made children begged him to come down.Between 1987 and 1989, visits to the library increased from 63,000 a year to more than 100,000. Of course the remodeling helped, but most of the change, most what brought the new people was Dewey.Chapter 14 Dewey’s Great EscapeBetween the two sets of the doors of the library was a tiny glass lobby to help keep out the cold in winter. Dewey spent enough time in the lobby. He was curious about the outside world. So one day Dewey escaped from the library. Next morning Dewey didn’t come to eat his morning meal. Vicki searched the whole library for Dewey, and that night, she drove around for half an hour instead of heading home, but nothing happened, also the staff. Some patrons knew something was wrong, and they also helped to find Dewey.Three days later, Jean Hollis Clark found Dewey under a car on Grand Avenue and brought him back to the library. The staff gave him food to eat. Vicki gave Dewey a bath and Dewey tolerated for the first time. Dewey had a tear in one ear and a scratch on his nose. Y ears later, Vicki made it a habit to open a side door during library broad meetings, but Dewey never going out anywhere for the next sixteen years.Chapter 15 Spencer’s Favorite CatAbout two months after Dewey’s escape, Vicki took his for his first official photograph. Dewey was nervous there, but he was more a fast learner. With the encouragement of Vicki, Dewey jumped onto the chair and let the photographer took six photos. In the photograph on the cover of the book, Dewey was beautiful, relaxed, and he was no fear of the camera.The local Shopko was holding a pet photo contest to raise money for charity. Vicki entered Dewey in the contest. The town voted and Dewey won more than percent of the votes. Maybe he won by his beautiful photograph, or his good look, or his personality and so on. But the most important was the town adopted him. He made a difference in the way the town thought about itself absolutely.Chapter 16 Iowa’s Famous Library CatDewey’s escape was a turning point and after that he became famous. He appeared frequently in the newspapers of the town nearby. And Des Moines Register, which was the daily newspaper in the state capital, let more than 500,000 people read Dewey’s story. Then Dewey began to make his regular appearance on the local television newscasts or nearby cities and states, and most of those programs were same –the story of a poor kitty. But his appearance on Living in Iowa was typical. The host loved him very much.Because of Dewey, Vicki became very active in state library circles. She was elected as the president of the Iowa Small Library Association. She told people thatthey should believe in themselves, just like Dewey.Dewey brought pride, confidence to Spencer. His friends were proud of him. More than that, there were eleven different people came up to Vicki and swore on their mothers’ grave that they had shoved Dewey down the drop box!Chapter 17 Dewey in the Modern W orldIn 1994, the Spencer library entered the modern era. People began to use the library differently. The card catalog cabinets were sold at auction. One public-accessed computer would replace them all. A librarian clerk’s job used to involve filing and answering reference questions. Now it’s understanding computers and inputting data. The library had books which had survived World War Ⅱ, the Hundred Y ear’s War, the Black Death and even earlier. The technology supplied convenient service to readers, and the visits to the library kept rising.Dewey didn’t care about any of that. He liked sitting on the computers and bask in the heat.。

英文原著知识点归纳总结
英文原著知识点归纳总结Historical ContextThe Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. It resulted in the executions of 20 people, 14 of them women, and the accusation of more than 200 others. The trials have become synonymous with paranoia and injustice, and have been the subject of much historical analysis and literary adaptation. Understanding the historical context of the play is crucial to appreciating Miller's portrayal of the events and the underlying themes of fear, power, and mass hysteria.Religious and Cultural ContextThe Puritans who settled in Massachusetts Bay Colony were deeply religious and held rigid beliefs about sin, morality, and the devil. Their way of life and their interpretation of Christianity played a significant role in the events that led to the witch trials. In The Crucible, the characters' religious beliefs and the influence of the church are central to the plot and character motivations. Exploring the religious and cultural context of the play helps to understand the mindset of the characters and the community as a whole, and the ways in which these factors contributed to the hysteria that gripped Salem.The Role of FearFear is a driving force in The Crucible, as it fuels the accusations of witchcraft and the subsequent trials. The fear of the unknown, the fear of social outcasts, and the fear of divine punishment are all at play in the story. Fear is used as a tool to control and manipulate others, and the characters' responses to their fears reveal their true natures. By examining the role of fear in the play, one can gain insight into the characters' motivations and the wider implications for society as a whole.The Abuse of PowerThe trials in The Crucible are a stark example of the abuse of power. Those in positions of authority use their influence to accuse and prosecute innocent people, often for personal gain or to settle personal vendettas. The play highlights the dangers of unchecked power and the devastating consequences it can have on individuals and communities. Understanding the abuse of power in The Crucible can lead to discussions about social justice, the rule of law, and the responsibilities of those in authority.Mass HysteriaMass hysteria is a phenomenon in which a group of people becomes irrational and overwhelmingly convinced of an idea that is not based on reason or evidence. The Salem witch trials are a classic example of mass hysteria, and The Crucible explores the social and psychological dynamics that lead to such events. By examining the themes of mass hysteriain the play, students can gain insights into human behavior, group dynamics, and the ways in which fear and paranoia can spread through a community.Morality and IntegrityThe characters in The Crucible are faced with moral dilemmas and must make difficult choices in the face of intense pressure. The play raises questions about the nature of integrity and the importance of standing up for one's beliefs, even in the face of adversity. By studying the moral and ethical dimensions of the play, students can engage in discussions about personal values, moral courage, and the complexities of human behavior.The Allegorical Nature of the PlayArthur Miller wrote The Crucible as an allegory for McCarthyism, the anti-communist witch hunts that took place in the United States during the 1950s. By examining the parallels between the events of the play and the historical context in which it was written, students can develop an understanding of allegory as a literary device and of the ways in which literature can be used to comment on contemporary social and political issues. Symbolism and ImageryThe Crucible is rich with symbolism and imagery that add depth and complexity to the story. From the oppressive weight of the wooden beams in the Proctor household to the "yellow bird" that haunts the girls, the play is rife with symbols that invite interpretation and analysis. Exploring the symbolism and imagery in The Crucible can lead to discussions about the power of language and metaphor, as well as the ways in which writers use symbolic elements to convey meaning.The Redemptive Power of TruthUltimately, The Crucible is a story about the redemptive power of truth. The characters who embrace the truth, even at great personal cost, are the ones who find a sense of peace and integrity. By contrast, those who lie and deceive are destroyed by their own falsehoods. The play offers a powerful message about the importance of honesty and the destructive nature of deceit. Exploring the themes of truth and redemption in The Crucible can prompt discussions about personal accountability, the consequences of dishonesty, and the ways in which truth can set us free.The Crucible is a timeless and universal work that continues to resonate with audiences around the world. By studying its historical, religious, and cultural contexts, as well as its themes of fear, power, and truth, students can develop a deep understanding of the play and its enduring significance. Furthermore, the play provides an opportunity for students to engage in discussions about morality, integrity, and the human experience, making it a valuable and enriching text for study in any educational setting.。

远大前程黑布林英语阅读每章总结
远大前程黑布林英语阅读每章总结Thoughts on Great ExpectationsDuring the last month, I have been reading the novel named Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I set up my mind to finish reading it for the simple reason that I have read the Chinese version of this great novel and I was deeply attracted by the story.The main character in this novel is Pip and the whole story goes like this: Pip was a orphan and was brought up by his sister “by hand”. His sister Mrs. Joe was very strict with him while his brother-in-law treat him kindly. As a result, the two developed a intimate relationship. Since Pip was asked to visit Miss Havishams’s house, his mind and his fate began to change. In Miss Havishams’s home, Pip saw her adopted daughter Estella and fell in love with her at the first sight. Then he was determined to be well-educated and become a gentleman in order to deserve the beautiful girl Estella. And much to his delight, he was given a large sum of money and an opportunity to study abroad by an anonymous person. After a period of time, his great expectations came true and he became a gentleman at last. However, he found out that the money was offered by the criminal he had saved when he was young.He felt ashamed and didn’t want to use the money any more.What’s worse, the criminal Magwitch escaped from prison to visit Pip and was noticed by the police. At last, Magwitch was sentenced to death and Pip led a normal life. The beautiful lady became a widow as her husband died. But Pip still loved her and promised to be friends with her all the same. This ending is a bit reaasuring.Among those several characters in the novel, my favourite is Magwitch. He was homeless and poor when he was young and he used to be put into prison several times. No one cared about him, so when little Pip saved him by giving him some food, he felt m oved. And he bore Pip’s help in his mind. When he was exiled overseas, he was determined to make a lot of money and help Pip become a gentleman. He worked hard and saved every coin he could, and then sent it to Pip. He did all of these secretly in order to prevent little Pip from being embarrassed. After Pip became a real gentleman, Magwitch returned to England in secret only to see whether Pip had led a good life. What we can find from him is deep love for Pip. Although the society has deserted him, he is not deserted by himself. Different from Miss Havishams who is black-hearted, Magwitch is like a father. He showed his love to Pip without any hesitation. He was just like Pip’s father. This is why I admire him very much.Then when I look back into our society, I find that some parents are not as good as the criminal Magwitch.Cases are that parents push their children to work hard in order to be admitted into the college where they were eager to go when they were young. This usually leads to two consequences. One is that the children are exerted too much pressure and they go to extremes. The other is that their children do as they are told to and don’t have their independent thinking. They lack the comprehensive abilities to cope with fierce competition in t oday’s society. In other words, they are likely to survive in this competitive world.God is equal to everyone. When Magwitch knew that Estella was his daughter and had been loved by Pip, he felt relieved.I am also relieved because one good turn deserves another.。
