老人與海

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a great part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre. My first impression of this story was from screen.

Its long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I dont remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the

music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. Its pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didnt think shes beautiful. But shes smart. However, I didnt pay much attention to the plot. I thought its so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I havent read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.

In fact, I didnt understand the story at that time. I didnt know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didnt find where s the prejudice. I thought its normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. Im a prejudiced person so I cant find wheres wrong. I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

Feelings of Reading JANE EYRE Useful expression

1) [Useful expression] (p.47)

If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.

2) [Useful expression] (p.231)

Prejudices, it is well known, as most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.

3) [Useful expression] (p.40)

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.

The type of materials in this book is written in English, and the topic area is literature. I spent reading the book for 2 months.

In the world history of literature, some many classical famous works are going to be immortal, but Jane Eyre deeply enters peoples soul deeply, it by irresistible intrinsic deep has attracted the tens of thousands of readers deeply, has affected peoples inner world, is in the world history of literature the eternal classics.

When Jane Eyre was a baby, her parents died. So she had to live with her uncle and his family. Unfortunately, her uncle also went away several years later. Then Jane was sent to the Logwood, which was a charity school and became a teacher there when she grown up. Later she left it to become a governess of Adela Varens, the ward of Mr. Edward Rochester, a Thornfield Manor. Later, Jane and Mr. Rochester fell in love with each other, and they decided to get married. But Mr. Rochester was revealed that he had a wife during the wedding ceremony. So Jane left Thornfield and Mr. Rochester. Otherwise Mr. Rochester’s wife was crazy. One day, she made a fire. Mr. Rochester tried his best to save his wife, but failed and his eyes were burnt and he became blind. The terrible news came to Jane, she came back to Mr. Rochester hurriedly. Jane told Mr. Rochester that she still loved him a lot, and tried her best to cheer him up. Finally, they got married, and had a lovely baby. This book enthralled me with the charm of language, and brought home to me the great wealth of English words and phrases. But this book is too difficult to me, and I had to look up a number of words. If there are explains of some difficult words, I think it will be much better. The figure of Jane Eyre had the greatest impact on me. After I close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think: I remember her goodness, her pursuit of justice, her self-respect and the clear situation on equality, her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence… The writing of the book is effective, beautiful and even fascinating. The author is skillful in telling stories. I can easily find out the characters of these dramatis personages. Behind the wonderful story, the author expressed her

strong dissatisfactions to the society then. The author thinks that people should be good educated, and everyone is equal, no matter male or female. The new facts that I hadn’t learn before is goodness. I remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past. To me, I think that I can hardly forgive those people who have hurt me deeply. May be it is good enough that not to do some revenge. As a result of reading this book, her story makes me thinking about life and I learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real. I can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but as there are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not. In essence, Brontes novel became a direct assault on Victorian morality. Controversy based in its realistic exposure of thoughts once considered improper for a lady of the 19th century. Emotions any respectable girl would repress. Women at this time were not to feel passion, nor were they considered sexual beings. To conceive the thought of women expressing rage and blatantly retaliating against authority was defiance against the traditional role of women. Jane Eyre sent controversy through the literary community. For not only was it written by a woman but marked the first use of realistic characters. Janes complexity lied in her being neither holy good or evil. She was poor and plain in a time when society considered "an ugly woman a blot on the face of creation." It challenged Victorian class structure in a strictly hierarchal society. A relationship between a lowly governess and a wealthy nobleman was simply unheard of. Bronte drew criticism for her attack on the aristocracy who she deemed as hypocritical "showy but ... not genuine." She assaulted individuals already established morals by presenting a plausible case for bigamy.
