染雾Reflection on the Book "To Kill a Mockingbird"
In the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, the author explores themes of racial injustice, coming-of-age, and the loss of innocence. Through the eyes of the protagonist, Scout Finch, the readers are taken on a journey that challenges their beliefs and forces them to confront the harsh realities of society.
One of the most powerful aspects of the book is its portrayal of racial injustice. Set in the 1930s in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama, the story centers around the trial of Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. The unfairness and prejudice within the justice system are evident throughout the trial, as the evidence clearly points to Tom's innocence, yet the jury still convicts him based on their racial biases. This portrayal sheds light on the deep-rooted racism that existed during that time period and serves as a reminder of the importance of equality and justice for all.
Another significant theme in the book is the coming-of-age of Scout and her brother, Jem. As they navigate the complexities of their small town, they encounter various challenges that force them to question their beliefs and confront the harsh realities of the world. Through their interactions with their father, Atticus Finch, they learn important life lessons about empathy, compassion, and standing up for what is right. This coming-of-age journey is beautifully portrayed by the author and resonates with readers of all ages, reminding us of the importance of growth and understanding.
Furthermore, the loss of innocence is a prevalent theme throughout the novel. As Scout and Jem witness the injustice and prejudice within their town, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of the world at a young age. This loss of innocence is symbolized by the mockingbird, a symbol of purity and innocence. The title itself, "To Kill a Mockingbird," suggests the destruction of innocence and serves as a powerful metaphor for the injustices faced by marginalized communities.
Overall, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a thought-provoking novel that explores important themes of racial injustice, coming-of-age, and the loss of innocence. Harper Lee's storytelling and compelling characters make this book a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers. Through this book, we are reminded of the importance of empathy, compassion, and fighting for justice in an unjust world.
Reflection on the Book "The Great Gatsby"
"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a novel that explores themes of the American Dream, wealth, and the illusion of happiness. Set in the 1920s, the story follows Jay Gatsby, a mysterious and wealthy man who throws extravagant parties in the hopes of winning back his lost love, Daisy Buchanan.
One of the key themes in the book is the American Dream and its corruption. Gatsby, who comes from a humble background, amasses a fortune through illegal means in order to achieve his version of the American Dream. However, this pursuit of wealth and status ultimately leads to his downfall. Fitzgerald critiques the idea that wealth and material possessions can bring happiness and fulfillment, highlighting the emptiness and shallowness of the upper-class society.
Furthermore, the novel explores the illusion of happiness. Gatsby, despite his wealth and parties, is lonely and yearns for something more. His obsession with Daisy and his belief that she will bring him happiness blinds him to the reality of their relationship. This illusion of happiness is also reflected in the lives of other characters, such as Daisy and her husband Tom, who appear to have it all but are ultimately unhappy and unfulfilled.
Moreover, Fitzgerald's portrayal of the 1920s, known as the Jazz Age, highlights the excesses and moral decay of the time period. The characters in the novel are consumed by their pursuit of pleasure and material wealth, often at the expense of others. This critique of the "Roaring Twenties" serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the detrimental effects of a society driven by greed and superficiality.
In conclusion, "The Great Gatsby" is a compelling novel that explores important themes of the American Dream, wealth, and the illusion of happiness. Fitzgerald's critique of the corrupting influence of wealth and the emptiness of materialism resonates with readers even today. Through this book, we are reminded of the importance of finding true happiness and fulfillment beyond material possessions.

The hero Holton, a plicated and contradictory young man, came into my sight with his mouth full of dirty words. His cynicism caused a negative rebellion. He believed that no one in the adult society was credible, all _false hypocrite_, and he longed for simplicity and sincerity, but all was false and deceptive, and he was unable to change the situation, and finally promised and even fled to the real society. In the real world, go to the backcountry to pretend to be a deaf and dumb person. But he has a childlike innocence, a pursuit of a better life and a noble ideal. In order to protect the children from falling off the cliff, he also longed to grow up as a _catcher in the wheat field_, giving out the voice of _saving the children_. In a word, he is a lonely and struggling man, but he is a man who demands the perfect man in the world and is helpless to yield to the reality. The kind and uneasy situation of the contradictory man is jumping, bleeding, and my eyes full of sympathy.
Holton's actions and speech actions are like the _he_ that we have gone through: cynical, cynical, but conscientious and loving, Leng son, he always speaks aloud, sometimes aloud, his restless heart of youth.
Reading novels, I seem to read the confusion and dissatisfaction of teenagers on their way to life. Looking back at our current life, are there any struggles like Holton? There must be a lot of it. The confusion of puberty must be faced. Everyone in youth is probably Holton. They walked through a lot of curves, narrow roads, dangerous roads, even cliffs, and then stood, sprint and run in a bitter struggle, and finally set foot on the road of life. Perhaps hand and foot injury, perhaps head broken blood, perhaps exhausted, but finally will e over, his face has a firm smile.
The catcher in the Rye is a twilight of youth's lost journey. The confusion and loss of Holton are always the confusion and loss of the growing people. I hope that the realities of Holton will correct the deviations in the journey, step on the right track, and walk on the journey of life.

After reading this wonderful story, I can feel love, brave, deep friendship and some other good spirits in the people.
The Scarecrow wanted some brains, but on the way to the Emerald City, he thought out of a way to cross the river. The Cowardly Lion wanted to be brave, but when they met the river, he carried other friends to jump across it. And the Tin Man wanted a heart, he said he couldn’t love, but he didn’t want to hurt any animal.
In fact, they all have the things they want: the Scarecrow is clever, the Cowardly Lion is brave and the Tin Man is kind-hearted.
This book tells us a story of how a little girl Dorothy goes back to her hometown when she is in another strange city. Dorothy is a little girl who lived with her aunt and uncle in Kansas. The weather there is very bad, sometimes there was a cyclone. When a cyclone came, people stayed under their houses. But one day a cyclone blows Dorothy’s house, with Dorothy and her dog Toto in it, to a country called Oz. In that city there are four witches and a very famous wizard—the Wizard of Oz. And Dorothy’s house just fell on the bad Witch of the East and killed her, so the people there were very happy. Dorothy took the witch’s red shoes and wore them. She wanted to go home to Kansas but she doesn’t know how to get there. So the Witch of North told her to go to the Emerald City to find the Wizard of Oz to help her. Then Dorothy met the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, but they need help too. The Scarecrow wanted some brains, the Tin Man wanted a heard, and the Cowardly Lion wanted to be brave. So they all take the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. On the way to the Emerald City they met some difficulties, but they solved them successfully. After they met the Wizard of Oz, the wizard gave them another challenge—to kill the bad Witch of the West and they accept. During the way to the Witch of the West’s house, they were caught by the witch and Dorothy was requested to work for her. One day, when the witch tried to catch Dorothy’s red shoes, Dorothy threw some water on the witch by accident and the Witch of the West disappeared. Only water can kill her. So Dorothy went back to the Emerald City with her friends but they found the Wizard of Oz is not a real wizard, he is also a man came from Kansas, and he is just a conjurer. He wanted to go back to Kansas too. So he made a big balloon and prepared to go. But when the balloon is going to raise, Dorothy’s dog Toto jumped away to run after a cat, so Dorothy had to get Toto back and they were left in Oz. Then Dorothy and Toto went and find the Witch of the South and the witch told them they can just use the red shoes on Dorothy’s feet, they’re a pair of magic shoes, they could take anybody go back to their home as soon as she said‘East, west—home is the best!’After Dorothy said goodbye to her friends, she went back to her new home with her dog. It’s really a wonderful risk.
Yes, no matter where we are, home is always the best place for us to rest or study. There are our parents here; there are also our favorite things here. At home, we feel safe, we feel comfortable, and we can relax ourselves.
From this story, we can see Dorothy is a brave and kind-hearted girl. She killed the two bad witches in Oz; she helped the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion to go to the Emerald City to find the Wizard and get what they want. She solved problems when they met difficulties. It’s really not easy for such a little girl.
We also learn that teamwork is important for us. When we are in trouble, we can ask our friends for help, and also, when our friends need help, we should go and help them. Just remember, more people, more power. It’s always better has more people to do a thing. Teamwork is really necessary in our lives.
And we can see the Scarecrow is absolutely cleaver, he understands things, he can think, he learn quickly, and he suggested Dorothy to cut down a tree to cross the river. The tin man has a kind heart, he laughs, he cries, he loves, he feels sorry for people. The Cowardly Lion is really brave, he did a lot of brave things, he carried the friends to go across the river, and he wanted to find some food for his friends and so on. We should learn from them too. When we are in trouble, we should calm down, watch the things around carefully, and try to think out of a way to solve it, just like the Scarecrow. We also should be brave as we are in danger, we can’t be afraid, we should face the difficulty and try to go through it, just like the Cowardly Lion. And we should learn to love people, to feel sorry for people, to make more friends, to get on well with everyone around us, just like the Tin Man.
Yes, we should learn how to get on with other people, we should help each other, we should be brave, we should love other people. If we can do like this, we can be a better girl (boy), more and more people will make friends with us, and more and more people will like us!
