《欧也妮·葛朗台》——金钱毁灭的人性资产阶级的每一金钱上面都沾满了“污秽”，每一枚银币上都充塞着“鲜血”；人和人之间没有了亲情，友情，爱情，唯独剩下的是“赤裸裸的金钱的关系，利益的关系”，冷酷的现金交易毁灭了人性。

这是巴尔扎克笔下流露出来的欧也妮·葛朗台是巴尔扎克着力刻画的人物。

他狡诈、贪婪、吝啬，金钱是他生活的上帝，独自观摩金子成了他的癖好，临终前还对自己的金念念不忘，叮嘱女儿看住金子。

他做起生意来是个行家里手，却常装口吃耳聋，诱使对方上当受骗而自己稳操胜券。

他虽然家财万贯，但开销节省，每顿饭的食物，每天点的蜡烛，他都能做到亲自定量分发。

为了钱他克扣妻子的费用；为了钱要女儿吃清水面包;也为了钱他六亲不认，弟弟破产他也无动于衷，侄儿求他，他置之不理。

是金钱使他变的狡黠，是金钱使他变的贪婪，也是金钱毁灭了他的人性。

葛朗台生活的时代是资产阶资本原始积累时期，为了获得利润财富，他变得十分野蛮凶恶，为了占有黄金不择手段。

当夏尔为了父亲的死而大哭时，葛朗台无情地说：“可是这孩子没有出息，把死人看得比钱还重。

”当他得知欧也妮把自己的积蓄送给了夏尔后，竟然将她打入了冷宫，直到从公证人那得知女儿将继承母亲的遗产时，才与欧也妮言归于好，为的是将欧也妮应得的计在自己的账上。

在葛朗台的身上，人的正常情感已经荡然无存，在他身上更多的是道德的沦丧，是人性的毁灭。

当葛朗台看到查理给女儿的梳妆匣时，“身子一纵，扑上梳妆匣，好似一头老虎扑上一个睡着的婴儿”。

对金钱的贪欲使他成了冷酷的恶魔，成了一个凶猛的吞钱的野兽，甚至在弥留之际不去关心将要孤身一人生活在世界上的女儿，而是关心他的金子。

甚至临死前做一个骇人的姿势想把镀金十字架抓在手里，结果这最后的努力送了他的命。

他给欧也妮的最后一句话是：“把一切照顾得好好的！到那边来向我交账！”多么冰冷的话语，多么可悲的一句话，看到这句话怎能不让人感慨？金钱是生不带来，死不带去的，而有些人的一生为金钱忙忙碌碌，到头来就死在了钱的手里，有多少人因为破产跳楼身亡,有多少人因为一念之差去触犯法律，又有多少人因为金钱的压力而不堪重负?面对金钱我们该何去何从？去选择道德的沦丧，人性的泯灭还是去选择两袖清风，视金钱如粪土？钱能买到佳肴，不能买到胃口。

钱能买到书籍，不能买到知识。

钱能买到药品，不能买到健康。

钱能买到时装，不能买到美丽。

钱能买到朋友，不能买到友谊。

钱能买漂亮的眼镜，但买不来明亮的眼睛。

钱能买高档的钢笔，但买不来敏捷的文思。

钱能买来芬芳的玫瑰，但买不来真正的爱情. 钱能买来名贵的篮球，但买不来精湛的球技。

钱能买来精确的钟表，但买不来流逝的光阴。

钱永远买不到的是生命，还有生命的光辉—人性。

葛朗台可以称得上是个很勤劳能干的人，或许在某些方面，他是成功的，他仅仅是个箍桶匠，却也富甲一方，积累了万贯家财，然而他最大的失败就在于对金钱的看法。

他把金钱看得比亲情还重，比生命还重，以至于被一个无情的可怕的吸血鬼吸走了他的人性。

他一生辛苦积累的财富，生前没有享受一分，死后也连一分都带不进坟墓。

或许他除了追求一种虚幻的满足，便一无所获。

然而，如此辛苦一生，又为了什么呢？难道只是为了在金子的包围下死去？我想人的一生中“情”，是最宝贵的东西，一个心灵正因为有了情才不再空虚，一段人生，因为有了情才变得更加感人，更加灿烂。

草木尚且有情，更何况是人?而在葛朗台眼里，这人性中最宝贵，最重要的东西却也使为了金钱服务，不得不说，他的人生是可悲的。

一味的追求权力，追求金钱，便会失去那份滋润心灵的爱；一心只求追求完美的情感，没有金钱的基础，再美的梦也会碎。

或许，这便是亘古不变的真理吧。

正如一句话所说的一样：“钱不是万能的，但没有钱是万万不能的”在这个世界里能主宰自己的生活，创造幸福的，只有你自己，每个人在追求幸福的路上，都会遇到金钱与人性，与情感两难的选择，不同的选择将带你，走进不同的人生!上天是公平的，面对岔口，每个人都只能做一次选择。

做好自己的这次选择并记住还有一种叫做幸福的东西，在路的尽头等你！世上最遥远的距离,不是生与死的距离,不是天各一方,而是幸福就站在你面前,你却不知道珍惜。

人生靠自己打造人生当自立，不能依赖他人。

别人帮得了你一时，却帮不了你一世。

俗话说：靠天靠地不如靠自己，自己的道路自己走，只有自己为自己奋斗，才能为自己创造美满的人生。

能力的提升靠自己谋取，爱情的幸福靠自己经营，命运的改变也靠自己奋斗，因为除了自己，没有人可以拯救你。

摔倒了，就要靠自己站起来，别人的帮助永远不会带给你成功的喜悦，哪里摔倒就要在哪里站起来。

虽然说运命在天，但是立命在己，成功源于自己的勤奋，没有免费的晚餐，别人的成功只能作为我们奋斗的动力，勤奋会创造一切，不要找任何理由，做自己的圣人，依靠自我，勤奋不殆。

俗话说知己知皮，百战不殆，所以学会认识自己是走向成功的前提，每天给自己一个希望，树立信心，展示自己，自信能创造奇迹。

别人怎么看自己不重要，一定要看得起自己，相信自己才会赢，摆脱自卑的舒服，自信是人格的核心，拿出勇气征服畏惧，欣赏自己，肯定自己，明确目标，准确定位。

做自己喜欢做的并且拿手的事情，发挥优势才能走向成功。

很多人认为自己没有什么专业或者特长，所以不知道怎么明确自己的目标，其实不然，每个人的潜能都有待激发，挖掘自己的潜力，做最好的自己，寻找榜样的力量，保持进取精神。

不要看低自己，腹有诗书气自华，是金子总会发光的，不断地学习会让我发现自身存在的很多潜能，学习让你看得更远。

没有知识，就看不清自己前进的道路，没有知识，就难以在人生的路上跨步向前，没有知识，就不知道怎么克服困难，坚持不懈。

温室里话再鲜艳也胜不过野花的坚强，因为野花已经历经风吹雨打。

所以不论遇到什么事情，无论经历多大的坎坷，我们都要坚守自己的信念脚踏实地往前走，再苦再难也要坚持走下去。

逆境是我们最好的老师，与其浅尝辄止，不如锲而不舍，竭尽所能。

遇到困难没关系，记住坚持，坚持，再坚持，活着就要有永不放弃的态度，挺住，就能战胜一切苦难，胜利者就是比别人能坚持的人，一旦放弃，就意味着没有机会。

机遇瞬间而逝，果断抓住就是你的机遇，错过了就等于不在存在。

用心灵捕捉机遇，不放过不错过任何属于自己的机遇，并且学会为自己创造，一能创造良机的人只有自己，等待机遇是一种笨拙的行为。

珍惜每一次机会是我们迈向成功的契机，不要因为眼睛和主观意愿错过你步入成功的契机。

成功除了以上的基本条件外，还有最重要的是行动。

只想获得而不想付出，只想成功而不去行动，这种没有行动力的梦想叫做空想。

成功的人生应该是不依不靠，懂得让马上行动成为一种习惯。

现在不做相当于永远不做，开始行动，就离成功跟近一步，老老抓住每一个今天，想到就马上去做，错过了时机就不会再有更好的效果。

积极地态度是行动的动力，大胆迈第一步，拒绝拖延，赢在立即行动，让自己忙起来，成事就在苦中行。

不要让懒惰拽了我们前行的路，赶走了懒惰的你，就自然而然的会从自己动手改造自己开始，你的许多实践和行动都会在你的勤劳中获得回报。

当你已经播下良种，又赶走了懒惰，那么你就不可能没有良好的收获。

古代战争中会选择一鼓作气，因为再而衰，三而竭。

所以保持激情很重要。

心有多大，你的天地就有多大，热情是成功的原动力，不满足是实现自我的动力，多一分热情，多一分收获，付出热情，一切都会随之而来。

别丢掉野心和欲望，有热情才能有突破。

培养炽热的求胜欲望，乐观成就美好的人生。

激情是点燃生命的火种，是照亮前程的心灯，只要我们具备热情，就能在工作中创造快乐和激情。

热情是一个人因为对所从事的事业具有浓厚的兴趣，对事业的未来充满信心，而表现出的一种高度负责、全身心投入的情感。

同时，热情还是一种积极乐观豁达的生活态度。

有一种积极的人生态度，进而挑战自己。

一个人要是因为害怕碰到苦难和危险，就不愿走出舒适的安全地带，就会限制自己的成长和发展，成功就是要善于打破原有的舒服，超越自己，让自己摆脱平庸。

想成功就先去开疆扩土，创新是成功的资本，求新才能有出路，变通是成功的一条捷径，试着换一条路去走，勇于改变生存状态。

人生中有很多艰难困苦，他们往往是人生最大的障碍，很多人为此在等待老天开眼，希望能得到他人的帮助，可是更多人在这种等待中垂垂老矣，一事无成。

一个人有什么样的付出，他的人生才会有什么样的精彩。

成功靠自己，自己的事必须自己做，世界上没有什么救世主，命运掌握在自己的手中，只要凡事靠自己，我们就会拥有精彩的人生！A Tale of Two CitiesThe tale of two cities is a historical story，one of Dickens’ long novels. The novel profoundly exposed the society contradiction before the French Revolution，intensely attacks the aristocratic social class is dissolute and cruel，and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed classes．The novel also described many magnificent scenes like the revolt people attacked Bastille and so on，which displayed people's great strength．The novel has portrayed many different people．Doctor Manatee is honest and kind but suffers the persecution actually ，Lucie is beautiful and gentle ，Charles is graceful and noble，Lorry is upright and honest ，Sydney is semblance of indifferent，innermost feelings of warm，unconventional but also selfless and lofty，Miss Prose is straightforward and loyal，Everyone brothers are cruel and sinister．．．The complex hatred is hard to solve，the cruel revenge has made more hatreds，loves rebirth in the hell edge，but take the life as the price．The tale of two cities is different from other historical fictions．Its characters and main plots are fictional under the real background of the revolution of France．The author made the experience of the fictional character Dr Magnetite as the main clue．The plots are complicated，and they are flexuous and dramatic．The structure is complete and rigorous．Dickens had dear love and hate．He praised those who ought to be praised and attacked those who ought to be attacked．The motivation of the novel maybe just warn the English dominators．But I think we can learn something meaningful from the tale of two cities．Uncle Tom’s CabinHarriet Beecher Stowe was an American abolitionist and author. Her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin depicted life for African-Americans under slavery; it reached millions as a novel and play, and became influential in the United States and United Kingdom. It energized anti-slavery forces in the American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South. She wrote more than 20 books, including novels; three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and letters. She was influential both for her writings and her public stands on social issues of the dayTom, the protagonist of this novel, is obviously the Christ figure with black skin. Tom's experience is quite similar to that of Jesus Christ. When Tom's first master, Mr. Shelby sells Tom to the coarse slave-dealer in financial straits, he betrays the loyalty of his most loyal slave since boyhood. Jesus is sold by his apostle Judas who is prompted by his avarice for money. So they are all betrayed and sold by the ones who are close to them. He never loses his simple faith. Tom's death scene also has striking likeness with that of Jesus Christ. Tom is flogged near to death, so is Jesus before his crucifixion. When Jesus dies, there are two criminals crucified together with him, one of who believes Jesus is Messiah and is saved at the very moment and spot. Samba and Limbo, Degree's two cruel overseers who in every sense are equal to criminals, are moved by Tom's Christian patience and are converted at the very moment and spot. Jesus is crucified to redeem sinners while Tom dies for the two runaway slaves, Classy and Emetine. They are all innocent, but all die for others. In essence, they all die for their faith and religious devotion.Tr uthfully, after I read this novel, I moved by the Tom’s story.It is also a moving novel that has had a profound effect on American culture. It is also a novel that has mirrored some of the changes in American culture, such as the slowly changing views of Christianity. I learned that the author of this thesis intends to interpret Uncle Tom's Cabin in the light of Christianity rather than anti-slavery and feminism to show a new outlook of it. I do hope that everyone can this novel, because I think it is a worthwhile reading book.White DeathHeroin is a terrible thing. It can kill people. It can change people. It can change your friend into your enemy; it can change your parents into strangers; it can change someone you love into another person. What was worse, it can kill people. But before it, it kills people' future and hope, promise and pleasure, brain and heart.Sarah is a lovely girl. She and her new boyfriend Hassan like traveling all over the world. They like going to different countries. They want to meet new people. Unfortunately, she got into trouble. One day they got off the plane. They were arrested by an airport policeman, because someone told the policeman that there is some drug in this two young people' bag. However this man is Sarah’s old b oyfriend, Stephen.The policeman got through the bag and found three tubes of toothpaste, which filled with heroin. But the two young men did not know about this at all. They were undeserved. They tried to defend themselves. Of course, the policeman didn't believe their explanation and arrested them in prison. Actually Stephen didn’t want to put Sarah into prison, and he only wanted Hassan to die. But all things are too late. Heroin ruined his life.However the truth was found by her mother. Sarah's mother is a doctor. She knew Stephen was ill because of his eyes，and his body. At last, the truth was out. It makes this story a happy ending.But many people in many countries take this drug. At first it's exciting and they feel very happy. Then they need more and more. They leave their families and friends. They become thieves and robbers. They want to get more and more money. Of course the drug also begins to kill them. And in the end they die.So how big the drug of harm is ! Since drugs so big, why would anyone willing to approach drugs? I think they know little of drugs, others of their business to their drugs produced curiosity. Society should strengthen the education of youth drug abused. Make them on drugs have a deeper understanding.Drugs, the root of the devil, it does not forgive not make many people committed heinous deeds, also don't know how happy family apart, push the many people happy. It's a devil, drugs, and ultimately better camouflage is a devil, therefore, cannot remember it!So we must never take drugs!The Old Man and the SeaErnest Miller Hemingway was an American novelist, short-story writer; He was part of the 1920s expatriate community in Paris, as well as the veterans of World War One later known as "the Lost Generation", as described in his posthumous memoir A Moveable Feast. He received the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 for The Old Man and the Sea, and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.The novel description is one year near sixty years of age senior fisherman, when alone goes to sea in one fishing, fished one big fish, actually did not pull. The senior fi sherman socialized several days after the fish, only then discovered this was the big m arlin which one surpassed the oneself fishing boat several fold, although knew perfect ly well very difficult to win, but still did not give up. Afterwards and further because i n the big marlin wound fish fishy smell brought in several crowds of shark fish snatch es the food, but the old person still did not hope like this to give up, finally highlighte d encircles tightly, returned to the big fish belt the fishing port, lets other fishermen no t admire already.The novel eulogized the spirit which the senior fisherman fear hard and dangerou s diligently did not struggle, we also should like his such, could not satisfy the present situation, should positively to above, do any matter all is relentless, meets difficultly must welcome difficultly above, could give up halfway in no way. Only has this, we o nly then can obtain a bigger success and the victory.I think the false beliefs about the weakness of the elderly can be turned around only if society looks much harder at their abilities and their goals. We must begin to see that although they may not have great physical strength, they still have a mind that is capable of many things. There are many jobs that they can hold in the workplace and many things they can do to help society of which we, the younger generation, are not aware. We must realize that they have gone through many experiences that we have not and that they hold a vast amount of knowledge about the world around them. There will come a time when one’s age does not determine the value of one’s life, but we can change that dream to reality only if we try.Oliver TwistOliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens', is English novelist, generally considered the greatest of the Victorian period. Many of his novels, with their recurrent concern for social reform, first appeared in magazines in serialized form, a popular format at the time. Unlike other authors who completed entire novels before serialization, Dickens often created the episodes as they were being serialized. The practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by cliffhangers to keep the public looking forward to the next installment. The continuing popularity of his novels and short stories is such that they have never gone out of print.The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill.To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Mayflies and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.The story of Oliver Twist reflects the darkness of the society. At that time, everyone was intrigued in factory revolution, the whole society looked prosperous. But there were still many people lived poorly, or even struggled to survive.I am so happy for little Oliver, he finally found his felicity. He is an optimistic, not scared of difficulties, polite and appreciative boy. He deserves what he gets in the end. This is a perfect ending, which makes us very happy.。
