Title: The Power of Literature
Reading a great piece of literature can be a transformative experience. It has the ability to transport us to different worlds, introduce us to diverse perspectives, and evoke a wide range of emotions. Recently, I had the privilege of reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, and it left a profound impact on me.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a classic American novel set in the 1930s. It tells the story of Scout Finch, a young girl growing up in a racially divided town in Alabama. Through Scout's innocent eyes, the readers witness the injustice and prejudice prevalent in society during that time. As I delved deeper into the book, I found myself engrossed in the story and deeply connected to the characters.
One of the main themes of the novel is the exploration of empathy and understanding. Atticus Finch, Scout's father, serves as a moral compass throughout the book. He teaches his children the importance of empathy and standing up for what is right, even when the odds are stacked against you. This resonated with me deeply, as it reminded me of the power of compassion and the need for individuals to fight for justice in our own lives.
Another aspect of the book that struck me was the portrayal of racism and its destructive consequences. The characters in the novel are forced to confront their own prejudices and question the societal norms that perpetuate discrimination. As I read about the trials faced by the African American character, Tom Robinson, I couldn't help but feel a sense of outrage at the injustice he experienced solely based on the color of his skin. It made me reflect on the importance of equality and the ongoing fight against racism in our world today.
Furthermore, "To Kill a Mockingbird" highlighted the significance of education in shaping individuals and challenging societal norms. Scout's journey of growth and self-discovery is intertwined with her experiences at school, where she learns about the complexities of human nature and the importance of critical thinking. This reminded me of the transformative power of education and the role it plays in fostering empathy, understanding, and social change.
In conclusion, reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" was a powerful experience that reminded me of the impact literature can have on our lives. It opened my eyes to the injustices and prejudices that exist in society and inspired me to be more empathetic and compassionate. This book serves as a reminder that literature has the power to educate, ignite conversations, and ultimately bring about positive change in the world.

Title: The Journey of Self-Discovery Through Literature
Reading has always been a source of solace and inspiration for me. It allows me to escape reality and embark on journeys of self-discovery. Recently, I had the pleasure of reading "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, and it left a profound impact on my outlook on life.
"The Alchemist" is a captivating novel that follows the journey of Santiago, a young shepherd boy, as he searches for his personal legend. Throughout the book, Santiago encounters various obstacles and meets a cast of characters who guide him on his path to self-discovery. As I immersed myself in the story, I couldn't help but reflect on my own journey and the importance of pursuing my dreams.
One of the main themes of the novel is the idea that everyone has a unique purpose in life, and it is our duty to pursue it. Santiago's journey serves as a metaphor for our own personal quests for fulfillment and meaning. It reminded me of the importance of listening to our hearts, following our passions, and not being afraid to take risks in order to achieve our dreams.
Another aspect of the book that resonated with me was the emphasis on the power of the present moment. Santiago learns that true happiness lies in appreciating the present and not getting caught up in the past or future. This reminded me of the need to live in the present and savor each moment, as life is too short to be constantly consumed by worries and regrets.
Furthermore, "The Alchemist" explores the concept of interconnectedness and the belief that the universe conspires to help individuals achieve their dreams. This idea of synchronicity reminded me of the importance of being open to opportunities and trusting in the journey, even when things don't go as planned. It encouraged me to have faith in the process and embrace the lessons and experiences that come my way.
In conclusion, "The Alchemist" is a thought-provoking novel that encourages readers to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery. It reminded me of the importance of pursuing my dreams, living in the present, and embracing the interconnectedness of the universe. This book serves as a reminder that literature has the power to inspire, guide, and transform our lives, and I am grateful for the lessons it imparted to me.
英语读后感 篇三
The essence of the path is that it is contrary to the highway and has no definite destination. But this does not mean that it does not lead to any direction. It does not mean that all walks of life will be lost in all cases. On the contrary. The stroll I mentioned earlier is an exploration, a slow discovery, the only way to really know mountains. In other words, fictions in the form of variation are not closely connected to each other and the feature of "music fragments" is the only way to stealth the various parts of the novel and to limit the true meaning of the theme, and to respect their coherent forms and rhythms. Of course, at the end of all the paths or paths that make us all over the mountains - they make up a broader view, and some of the pictures are more direct and more intense.
In the immortality, the theme of the pastoral song appears once again in the work, but it is worth noting that the theme is quite different from the previous one. First, the political Utopia of the positive idyllic pastoral means and the image of the utopian Utopian no longer have the same complete tendencies; it continues to exist in Pauls thinking, through his memory of the 1968 "May storm", but this is a dead reference, and we can even say that it is a positive idyllic. The corpse of the pastoral song. Here, we are completely in the world after ideology, which transcends history.
We have been away from the desert pursued by Yang wick and Thomas. To "return" to self is no longer to escape to the peace and edge that can be released to self, no longer to leave the stage, away from the crowd, to avoid the harm of the crowd to us; to return to self should come to the market and display me in all eyes. Because it is a world of pastoral pastoral, in the final analysis, the modern self world is still a totalitarian world - in a sense, even more harmful than the other types of pastoral songs, because there is no foundation outside the world, and no one can do it for itself. The inevitability of "transcendence". This is a totalitarian power at the end of history.
Kundlas writing style and language expression are still worth learning. Forget the philosopher saying that life is philosophy. There is a reasonable existence. Then everyone exists, which means that its philosophy is reasonable, each person has its own way of life and way of thinking, and according to these modes of thinking to live, is the inpiduals own philosophy. Every character in Kundlas pen is a different philosophy. The name of each chapter metaphores a theme of thinking. "Face" means self. "Immortality" means fame and fame. "Struggle" means Agnes and Luo, "emotional man" means perceptual, "chance" is associated with "bell", "celebration" is the most. The end of the end? I cant be sure to say it is, and it would be a different idea to read later, but the same thing is that Kundla has always led the reader into thinking, no answer.
英语读后感 篇四
The poor is the work of Lev, Tolstoy, a famous Russian writer. At that time, the Russian working people were living in extreme poverty under the dark rule of the tsar, but they were kind hearted and noble minded. The text recounts the fisherman and her wife, SANA, who care and sympathize with the neighbor Simon. After Simons death, the story of her two orphans is adopted, reflecting the pure and simple compassion of the poor and the noble quality of helping others. Through the life of the Sanna family, the author reflects the miserable life of the poor people during that period and their perfect mind.
The fishermans family was very poor, and their days were very tight. But when the wife of the fisherman saw his neighbour Simons death, and the sad and moving picture of the two children who were not sensible, he did not hesitate to take them home. After a series of psychological struggles, fishermen and Sanna firmly believe that no matter how hard they are, they should bring up these two children.
In this text, the deepest part of the text is: her head is back, the cold, green face shows the death of the quiet, a pale stiff hand that wants to catch what, hanging from the straw. Next to the dead mother, two small children were asleep, with curly hair, a round face, old clothes covered with old clothes, a curly body, and two small heads of light yellow hair close together. Apparently, when the mother was dying, she put her clothes on them and hugged their little feet with their old scarves. The childs breathing is even and calm, and the sleeping is sweet. From this startling description of the situation, I realized the poverty and misery of countless working people in the Tsarist era, and I also realized the great mothers love and the two children who were worried about the death of Simon.
What impressed me most is the description of Sannas words: its heartbeat badly, do not understand why, but I think it should be done. When SANA saw that two poor children were not raised by their mother, they would rather starve themselves or let Simons two orphans starve to death, which fully demonstrated the kindhearted nature of Sonna. One of the words of the fisherman moved me out: "we have to take them and how to stay with the dead! Oh, we, we can always stay up!" this sentence is so firm, although the fisherman thought about his own days, but also insisted on raising the two orphans of Simon, showing the quality of the fishermans help and the courage to respond. Although these words are made up of several simple words, they can reflect their good nature.
Reading this story, I think we should learn the poor, not greedy, selfish, more contented, more to share with others, and if we can have a noble, kind and compassionate heart, our life is plain but also very happy. On the contrary, if selfishness and greed are the same as stupid rich people.
英语读后感 篇五
With so many famous masterpieces on the booklist, it is really a pretty hard job to choose one to read first. After much hesitation and deeply thought, I finally decided to borrow Great Expectations from the small library.
Great Expectations is about love, family, and rejection as Pip and Miss Havisham have both been rejected in certain ways. Pip is a boy around 13 years old, easy to fright, and goes through his life suffering lots of sadness. He is in love with a girl named Estella and wants her to find his love, but for him being shy and not showing himself to her, it makes it very hard for him.
Great Expectations was the penultimate novel completed by the most popular novelist of Victorian England, Charles Dickens. Born in Kent, England, in 1812 to a family of modest means but great pretensions, Dickens’s early life was marked by both humiliation and ambition. Dickens never forgot the period of financial crisis during his childhood, when following his father’s bankruptcy, he was taken out of school and forced to work in a shoepolish warehouse.
Pip meets an escaped convict, Magwitch, and gives him food, in an encounter that is to haunt both their lives.
When Pip receives riches from a mysterious benefactor he snobbishly abandons his friends for London society and his“great expectations”.
I set up my mind to select it for the reason that I have read a brief introduction of this masterpiece in my high school English textbook before. In addition, a Tale of Two Cities which is also written by Charles Dickens, the outstanding and special English writer, left me a wonderful and deep impression, when I finished reading the marvelous story.
Of course, Great Expectations didn’t let me down, either. What’s more, the whole structure of the novel is well and elaborately designed. The plot is extremely attractive and full of unexpected twists. Quite a few characters have a distinguishable personality. Moreover, those words and sentences are so beautiful and meaningful that I even took them down carefully in my notebook. By reading them no less than three times, I have learned not only some new phrases and sentences, but also a philosophy of life.
Among the characters, which impressed me most are not Pip and Estella who should be regarded as the leading roles, but Joe and Magwitch. I feel awfully sorry that I was not brave enough to read the original edition that is as thick as a brick. Otherwise, I may appreciate Joe and Magwitch more. Yes, they are not the main characters in the novel. However, what they said and what they did deeply touched me. It’s interesting, isn’t it? They are quite the opposite guys. One is a totally good man without the least bit of wickedness while the other is a prisoner who is believed to have committed every evil.
I believe that everyone who reads the book is to like Joe. When he talked about his heavy drinking father who hit him a lot, he said he had a lot of love. Faced with his rude wife, he would rather seem a bit weak or foolish than stand up to her and fight for himself. Knowing peacockish Pip was ashamed of his uneducated manners, he left sadly and quietly. The world rushes on over the strings of the lingering heart making the music of sadness. But when he was informed of Pip’s illness, he immediately came to take good care of Pip. He is always contributing everything and requiring nothing. Such a man is Joe, kind, tolerant and selfless. "Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice," says a wise author.
However, why do I appreciate Magwitch, the bad guy? You may wonder. Indeed, Magwitch did a lot of evil things when he was young. But how can you be unmoved when you get to know that the old man kept himself going just by thinking of the boy who once did him a small favor? He lost his only daughter and Pip had no parents, so he considered himself as the boy’s second father, making up his mind to help his dear boy became a gentleman. He did every kind of job and led a hard life in Australia. At last he made a big fortune and promised himself that all the money would go to Pip. He could have led a better life in Australia ,but Ihe chose to go back to London .with the simple intention of seeing Pip, he went back at the risk of being hanged! “whatever the fault he had from the start, remember, reader, he had a good heart.” Joe used these words to describe his father. But I think these words can better describe Magwitch. He lived with the fear of death all his life. Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut out from love. However, thankfully, because Pip finally realized his good heart, his ending was peaceful.
Dickens has Pip as the writer and first person narrator of this account of his lifes experiences, and the entire story is understood to have been written as a retrospective, rather than as a present tense narrative or a diary or journal. Still, though Pip "knows" how all the events in the story will turn out, he uses only very subtle foreshadowing so that we learn of events only when the Pip in the story does. Pip does, however, use the perspective of the bitter lessons hes learned to comment acidly on various actions and attitudes in his earlier life.
I know how to fully understand this novel, twice is far from enough. Pip, Estella, Miss Havisham, Biddy even Mr Wemmick, every single character has a story that is well worth my attention. I love this novel so much that I am determined to read the original edition one day. Believe me. But before that day comes, I will see the movie Great Expectations first.
Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs.
英语读后感 篇六
Jane Eyre, one of the most famous works of Charlotte Bronte’s, is an inspiring story about a miserable girl who pursue freedom, independence and true love. The story of the independent minded Jane and her love affair with Mr. Rochester opened up new dimensions for women both as writer and generations of feminists. Jane Eyre, the tough girl, really impresses me very much.
One of Jane’s impressive and admiring personalities is her self-respect. She wasn’t beautiful, and the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease. But as Jane had said: ‘Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of self-respect in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of self-respect impresses me so much and let me feel the power inside her body.
The other gorgeous personality I value very much is her selfless love. After leaving Thornfield with a broken heart, Jane experienced quite a lot. She refused the proposal of St. John, a handsome priest who helped her a lot when she was starving. Later, Jane inherited a wealth of fortune from her uncle which she shared with her three cousins. But when hearing that Mr. Rochester had lost his eyesight and made his body serious injured while saving his mad wife in a conflagration during which his wife died and all his property was destroyed, Jane returned to Thornfield immediately and devoted her love to Mr. Rochester. What a great decision for her to go back! If I were Jane, I couldn’t promise to get married with Mr. Rochester who is in such a terrible situation. However, Jane did with all her heart!
I like the novel very much, especially the character ‘Jane Eyre’ who is a great woman in my mind. Jane makes me realize the importance of self-respect and understand what the true love is. In this sophisticated society, we may not avoid being contaminated, but we can remind ourselves of Jane Eyre and try to be an independent and strong-minded person who treasures self-esteem and true love.
