i first read "jane eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. it is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although that's how i probably would have defined it at age 13. i have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - jane and mr. rochester. they take on new depth every time i meet them...and their's is a love story for the ages.

charlotte bronte's first published novel, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story. jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy society's expectations of her. this is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement. perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. it is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.

jane eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family. jane eyre's parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her uncle and aunt reed at gateshead. jane's uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but mrs. reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. this unfair treatment emphasized jane's status as an unwanted outsider. she was often punished harshly. on one occasion her nasty cousin jack picked a fight with her. jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "red room" as a result. jane's uncle reed had died in this room a little while before, and mrs. reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. since jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the child's feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage. she repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness. looking into the mirror jane sees a distorted image of herself. she views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. jane eyre's passions still erupt unchecked. jane eyre's isolation in the red room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community. this powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.

mrs. reed decided to send jane away to the lowood school, a poor institution run by mr. brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people. all the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. at lowood, jane met helen burns, a young woman a little older than jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life. jane's need for love was so great. it really becomes obvious in this first friendship. helen later died from fever, in jane's arms. jane eyre's illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. jane stayed at lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher. tired and depressed by her surroundings, jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at thornfield. the mansion is owned by a gentleman named edward fairfax rochester. jane eyre's job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little french girl, adele. over a long period the moody, inscrutable rochester confides in jane and she in him. the two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. again, jane's need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature. she blooms. a dark, gothic figure, rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with jane. ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.

all is not as it seems at thornfield. there is a strange, ominous woman servant, grace poole, who lives and works in an attic room. she keeps to herself and is rarely seen. from the first, however, jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep .there are wild cries along with violent attempts on rochester's life by a seemingly unknown person. jane wonders why no one investigates mrs. poole. then a strange man visits thornfield and mysteriously disappears with mr. rochester. late that night jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctor's help. the man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. he leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning. jane's questions are not answered directly. this visit will have dire consequences on all involved. an explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that jane and rochester have made. jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.

charlotte bronte's heroine jane eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. ms. bronte brings to the fore in "jane eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, women's equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two), the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion. this is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions. it is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. ms. bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.

love,friendship and family of gone with the wind.

a war swallowed a beautiful woman,a perfect family and a love. everything seemed to be a dream,going with the wind.

scarlet,a gifted nobleman,should have tasted sweetness of love,but she bore tragedy of her love,crush of her family love and falling of her friendship in the trouble times. so without dependence,she learnt to be more independent and stronger than before. to my sadness,she didn’tobtain what she wanted throughout.

for her love,ashley was a pure dream. scarlet loved only his bright appearance in fact,as elegant poems sank scarlet into dubious illusion.therefore,she realized her true love wasn’t ashley who was perfect in her,but butlereventually.on the contrary,butler was ambitious,not like ashley.he won his own love finally,scarlet,expressing his power. although butler didn’t integrate intoswelldom really,he was fit for scarlet. however,when scarlet poured her love to butler,he refused her,even abandoned her because his heart was filled with scars. their crystal of love went with the wind,their love gone with the wind.

for her friendship,not only scarlet depended upon melanie,but envied her,getting ashley’s love. in fact,it was not until melanie died that scarlet realized she relied on melanie. melanie was alike an angel from heaven,kindhearted and virtuous. she was core of ashley.in reality,scarlet liked what ashley was,was ashley who was protected by melanie. so in the opposite of envying melanie,scarlet loved her. their friendship was subtle.

for her family,it was a tragedy. eventually,it was incoherent. no parties,no cheerful chatting and laughing,there was just broken walls of tara. all got away from scarlet into another world,leaving her alone to face the cruel war. this witnessed a social vicissitude.

gone with the wind,displayed a pretty woman chasing true love,described a cruel war and depicted a subtle friendship. in the story,selfishness of scarlet,avarice of butler,goodness of melanie and recreance of ashley appeared before our eyes. not only gone with the wind was a novel,but an encyclopediaabout characters.

as readers,in my opinion,we don’t browse it,but peruse mind of it and apperceive it. to learn how to depict a character and to deliver a mind though the character is what we should do after perusing it.

in english composition gullivers travels the feeling after reading

12 months, i read the british writer jonathan; swifts gullivers travels, novel by bitter ironies and humor, extraordinary imagination and exaggeration, describe the love sailing adventure, four degrees gulliver travel around the world, experienced greatly small breathtaking and interesting adventures.

small and medium-sized peoples kingdom, adult kingdom light blame extraordinary story deeply attracted me, however, give me the deepest impression is, 1710 in north america, rafting gulliver skillfully visit the island for the wisdom of, met with kindness, honesty and friendship for wisdom of virtue. wisdom in the language of the kingdom for no "lying" and "deceit" this word, people dont understand the meaning of it more. they dont know what call "suspect", what is "no confidence" in their country, everything is true, transparent.

because of the kingdom in the hui gulliver had a good time, and he fully integrated into the society, so that the human and metaphor and hu contact the formation of strong contrast, because they always with suspicion of his honesty, made him feel lost to humans, the extreme dislike.

i admire the hero could have to hui for the comet, because we are pursuing the kingdom of the ideal situation, and yearning in here you dont need to worry the true and false, and talking to people in the real world, with so much we do not like to see things are often happen: someone with other peoples hard-earned money, diddle rhetoric was abducted children seek profits, some even for money leave his own parents. no wonder our teacher, elder since the childhood education we have to remain vigilant, dont be deceived. this and we advocate help others, love others is united very hard. when i met a person who has difficulty, to lend a helping hand, i hesitate to; when someone for me, i cant accept clearance. these make me feel pain, contradiction and disoriented. both hampered i love others, also missed the others "love", in a sad isnt?

i dont know the eighteenth century americas case, the glory of the two parties exceedingly sentimental, ambiguity of relation, of course, there was no way swifts debate experience to eat eggs should be knocked the height of head, which heel "principles" problem "high follow the party" and "low with the party" beauty.

i blamed swift, i want to have a tolerance of heart. and later swift also gradually become can understand, give my feeling is that he is justice.

he was a real irony british features: "greed, the party is divided, hypocrisy, without faith, brutal, anger, crazy, resentment, jealousy, lust, sinister and ambition." he described the beast sarcastic man upside of paradox: macheng a rational carrier, but are into dirty rotten, excrement and urine to fly the popularity of an inferior animals and greed, hu jintao. his talk about human nature, is willing to be subjected to money, not extravagant waste is insatiable. finish see gullivers travels after, we have to look at themselves, we have a problem on the root shadow.

a word, i think very classic: to review the angry, render times exaggerated by lashing out at the shortcomings of the times; absurd in hatred and pessimistic, should be behind a bitter sorrow the feelings.

didnt think in those simple as the dabaihua travel stories have day-books contain so deep connotation.

i hope one day we society also like hui for the childrens eyes no longer have suspicions, education and reality is unified. i wish to pay the effort, also hope you and i together, from ourselves, to start from now, let the society more sincere, a bit less hypocrisy.

我喜欢看马克吐温的《汤姆索亚历险记》。

主人公汤姆虽然是一个坏孩子形象，但是他聪明勇敢，充满正义感。汤姆幼年丧母父死，由姑妈收养。聪明顽皮的汤姆受不了姑妈和学校的管束，常常逃学闯祸。一天深夜，他与好朋友哈克到墓地玩耍，目睹了一场凶杀案。后来，他们离家去到一座荒岛上做“海盗”。在法庭上，汤姆勇敢地站起来指证凶手。

不久之后，他与朋友在岩洞里迷路了，整整三天三夜的饥寒交迫，最终找到了出口。最后，汤姆与哈克重返山洞，找到了一笔宝藏，成了这个村的英雄。汤姆虽然经常闯祸，但他心地善良，充满正义感。他对未来充满希望，追求自由，敢于探索，不屈服当时的迂腐，封建的社会。这是使我想到了清高自傲，追求自由的大诗人李白。李白性格豪迈，热爱祖国的大好河山。他蔑视当时的封建等级制度，不愿阿谀奉承，也不屑与俗沉浮。现实的黑暗使他感到窒息，他渴望个性的自由，于是采取不羁的生活态度，去挣脱桎梏。他以不羁，闲情，自由的`心态，游山玩水，才能够写出脍炙人口，流芳千年的诗篇。泰戈尔说过：“要学孩子们，他们从不怀疑未来的希望。”我们要像汤姆和李白一样，对未来充满希望，追求心中所属，不向任何恶势力低头，勇敢地去探索！在生活中，我们要笑对每一天，以乐观向上的心态去生活。在遇到困难挫折时，不绝望，不放弃，要像汤姆一样，对未来充满希望，对自己充满自信。

没有什么能阻挡我们追求心之所想，追求自由！我们每一个人，都是不一样的汤姆，要做不一样的自己，做不羁的自己！

飘的英文版读后感篇5

寒假，我拜读了马克·吐温的作品《汤姆·索亚》历险记，感受很深，从汤姆·索亚身上，我看到了许多，想到了许多。他的生活是我羡慕而不可及的，他的生活让我觉得真实发生在身边，又让我不禁有衷的钦佩。

汤姆·索亚是美国圣彼得斯堡小镇上的一个淘气的机灵鬼。他父母早亡，随姨妈生活，而姨妈却管不住他。他不是那样听话本分的乖宝宝，他是镇子上的孩子头儿，带他们玩”打仗“，搞恶作剧，喜欢马戏，会拿大顶，好幻想，想当兵或当牛仔，他在小伙伴的眼中无所不能。最近，他又萌生了当海盗的念头。他与小伙伴生活的无忧无虑，无拘无束，世界对他来说简直是一片乐土、净土。

汤姆·索亚在马克·吐温的笔下是一个他淘气、富有想象力、经常动不动就被姨妈揍、打骂的”野孩子“，而他这个”野孩子“在我的眼中是一个乐观、勇敢、坚强、面对困难毫不畏惧、富有正义感、有时还会和贝奇耍一下小心眼、会逗别人开心的”可爱臭小子“。他把惩罚当成了欢乐，他这个小机灵鬼鬼点子总是不停歇。

与汤姆相比，我的生活就逊色了不少。我也多么想像他一样去历险、去当一回海盗，也许，我的收获会比他的丰富呢。可是，我不是他，我没有他的生活背景，教育方式的不同，让我们的生活也截然不同。

由汤姆·索亚，我想到了乌塔独自游欧洲的勇气与胆魄，想到了波丽安娜的快乐感染力，想到了很多很多。也许，像汤姆这样的孩子就在我们的身边，我们都拥有天真快乐，只不过汤姆比我们更勇敢、幸运一些。

我们不要做温室里的花朵，我们要自由生长；我们不要做鱼缸里的金鱼，我们要逆风前行；我们不要做父母臂膀下的小鸟，我们要自由翱翔。我们要勇敢、乐观、坚强、要像汤姆一样快乐成长。

听说最近汤姆又开始了新的历险之旅，你愿意和他一起历险吗？
