1. Journey to the West
When I open "Journey to the West", I always have different moods. It is the most vivid and lively among the four classics. When I was a child, I always found it enjoyable and interesting to read. But today, what remains unchanged is the bizarre and colorful mythical world, but my understanding has changed.
This is a classic masterpiece that everyone loves to read. Everyone can get different feelings and revelations when interpreting it. Some people like its distinctive personality; some people like its magnificent overall image. ; Some people like its lively and humorous dialogue narration; some also study its historical background and social phenomena. But in my opinion, his tortuous plot hides the life ideal and human pursuit that people long for but cannot reach, that is - freedom.
After experiencing the days when personality is restricted day after day, people in the 21st century are particularly yearning for freedom and the incarnation of freedom: Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong emerged from the ground, "not subject to the rule of Qilin, not subject to the rule of Phoenix, and not subject to the constraints of the human throne." He broke into the Dragon Palace, made trouble in the Underworld, and became the king from the Flower and Fruit Mountain. It can be said that it has reached a state where human nature is freed from all constraints and is completely free. Sun Wukong is actually the embodiment of freedom. The most prominent of his qualities is his yearning for freedom. He is always pursuing freedom, and all his struggles are also for freedom. Such a vivid image gives readers the strength and courage to pursue freedom. However, everyone understands that now, even in the future, complete freedom is ultimately impossible, and people will always be subject to various constraints. Although we are surrounded by a restricted world, we can make our hearts as broad and deep as possible, so that it can be boundless and inclusive.
However, there are still many people in society who are bound by some things of little value, but they enjoy themselves and feel very satisfied. After hundreds of years of exploration and development, people's material needs are no longer urgent, but their need for spiritual freedom has been obliterated for no reason. In short, I think what modern people lack most is a spirit of openness and enterprising, seeking the greatest freedom.
In "Journey to the West", which has been refined over time, it actually deeply contains the spirit of freedom that people in the new century crave most... I understand better why it can be passed down to this day.
2. Thoughts after reading The Old Man and the Sea:
Human nature is strong, and humans have their own limits, but it is precisely because of people like the old fisherman who push the limits again and again Challenges and beyond them, this limit has been expanded again and again, and greater challenges have been placed in front of mankind again and again. In this sense, heroes like the old fisherman Santiago deserve our eternal respect no matter whether they succeed or fail in challenging the limits. Because what he brings us is the most noble self-confidence of mankind!
Life is an endless pursuit. The road is long, difficult, and full of ups and downs, but as long as he is brave and tenacious to meet the challenge with a confident heart, he will always be a real winner!
Santiago is a poor old man - or so he seems. Hemingway created this image with his refined language. It can be said that Hemingway did not give the old man success, but gave the old man an image of elegance and tenacity under pressure.
After drifting on the sea for 84 days without catching anything, the old fisherman caught a huge marlin. This was a fish 2 feet longer than his fishing boat. It was dragging the fishing boat for the entire length of time. He was stabbed to death two days and two nights later. The old man's fate did not seem to be successful. He encountered a shark again. After a desperate fight, only a skeleton of the marlin was left.
Bones are the backbone of the spirit. It seems that Hemingway did not let the old man Santiago succeed, but he used his bare bones to play the hardness of the old man's life.
"I will accompany you until death" - this tough guy said when faced with challenges. A metaphor for his own heroism and his strength to persevere.
At the beginning and end of the story, a boy named Manolin appears - he hopes to inherit the old man's career. Not only does the business of fishing need to be passed down, but this pair of iron bones should also be respected, enshrined and learned by us. Why does this child appear in the old man's story? Youth symbolizes strength and hope. Even an old man is still young at heart. Lions are described many times in the article. On the African beach, lions are laughing and playing. They appear in the old man's dream and have always been in the old man's heart. They also reveal the old man's will to never grow old.
This novel by Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Pulitzer Prize. This tough guy writer with hundreds of shrapnel in his bones appropriately wrote about the intensity of life, told us how to face birth, old age, illness, and death, and how broad our heart should be, as broad as the sea. The old man is lonely, he is a traveler walking on the ideal road, but he is not lonely because his will is so strong.
Think of sharks as blows, eating your success and happiness. But as the kid said: "He didn't beat you. Not the fish." ("He didn't beat you. Not the fish.")
A truly strong man can only be destroyed. Can't be defeated ("A man can be destroyed but not defeated")
Never give up, this is what "The Old Man and the Sea" tells us.
Reflections after reading "Childhood"
Everyone has experienced childhood. Childhood is wonderful, childhood is happy, childhood is happy, childhood
is worth remembering... But Gorky's childhood was terrifying, tragic, and people dare not recall it.
Koren's Gorky lost his father when he was 3 years old, and lost his kind father's love. He followed his mother and grandmother to a small dyeing workshop owned by his grandfather. From then on, a dark life came to Gorky. My grandfather had a very violent temper and often beat his grandmother and Gorky, which cast a shadow on Gorky's young mind.
Later, Gorky met his close friend Ivan Xiaocigan. The two talked about everything and formed a profound friendship.
However, good times don't last forever, and poor little Gypsy was killed by two vicious uncles. Gorky lost his friend in this way. Yakov and Mikhail are devils. They beat their wives and argue every day to divide the family property. There is no unity between the brothers. Their two sons, Sasha, have also been taught bad things. Playing tricks on Gorky.
After that, Gorky met the carpenter "Good Thing", which was not very good at first, but later he became a good friend.
As a result, Gorky was driven away by his grandfather, and Gorky got a stepfather who was very fierce and often beat people. A few years later, his grandmother, who loved him most, died, and his mother also died. He was kicked out by his grandfather and made a living by picking up garbage.
We now have plenty of food and clothing, we have everything we want, and we are the "pearl in the eye" and "darling" of our parents.
How can it be compared with Gorky's miserable childhood? The difference in the era is this The difference is that one is heaven and the other is hell; one is full of sunshine and the other is dark everywhere.
Our current childhood is hard-won!
Childhood is full of joy, childhood is full of warmth, childhood is a camera worth remembering, and childhood love fills the heart!
Except for some education and friendship, Gorky’s childhood was nothing worth remembering!
After reading "Notre Dame de Paris", there are three sample essays 2008-12-07 17:41
Sample essay one:
The eternal whimpering of the river, the gentle breeze The sighs of rest, the records left by tragedy, are opened inadvertently - Esmeralda, Quasimodo, Claude Frollo, they, aren't they the main characters in Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" ?
Speaking of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", I still remember its general content:
1842, Paris, April Fool's Day. The Gypsy girl Esmeralda and her goat perform on the street, attracting a religious figure who is devout in religion, avoids worldliness and enjoyment, restricts his life with abstinence, and has a scholarly demeanor - Claude Frollo. With the evil thought of "either possessing her or killing her", he instigated the deformed adopted son Quasimodo to kidnap her from the street. She was rescued by Phoebus, the captain of the archery team, and Quasimodo was captured. From then on she fell in love with Phoebus. Later, she rescued Pierre Gringoire as his wife. When Quasimodo was being tortured in public and begging for water, she brought water to Quasimodo's mouth. Quasimodo was born first. I was moved to tears for the first time. For the poor and lovely Esmeralda, Claude could not possess her, so he had to kill her. He assassinated Phoebus and blamed the incident on Esmeralda, but Esmeralda gave in and was killed. Sentenced to death. On the "edge of the gallows" Quasimodo rescued Esmeralda and placed her on the top floor of Notre Dame to guard against anything harmful to her, and found that he had fallen in love with her (although he had no appearance, but he had a heart) . In the chaos of being arrested again, Claude used Gringoire to kidnap her out of Notre Dame. After she rejected Claude's lust, she handed him over to the officers and soldiers, and Esmeralda died. Quasimodo pushed his adoptive father off the roof of the building, fell to death, and then committed suicide next to Esmeralda. The strange Quasimodo also "married".
This is Hugo's first realistic work with ideological power and artistic charm, full of humanitarianism and romanticism. The novel is set in Paris under the rule of the Louis XI dynasty in the 15th century. With an unusually tense plot and exaggerated characters, it depicts the tragedy of kind-hearted innocents being devastated and persecuted under the medieval feudal autocratic system.
In such a novel that is tragic to the end, it also makes her silly and funny for us readers. For example, during the trial of Quasimodo, the pre-trial officer Mr. Florian and the accused Quasimodo were both deaf. The pre-trial officer asked Quasimodo his "name", "how old" and "why he came in", but Kas. But Simodo said nothing. The pre-examination officer thought he had answered everything, so he said "very good". When Mr. Fui came, he asked some questions that were not often asked, but Quasimodo answered incorrectly. , reported his name, age and reason for coming in, because his answer was wrong, which made Quasimodo more guilty...
I also saw the beautiful Esmeraldana here. With a beautiful and kind heart, she rescued Gringoire as his wife, and she brought water to Quasimodo's mouth as an enemy. She didn't care about anything, all she cared about was the cry of her conscience. But Claude killed her without conscience.
Tragedy is always tragedy, but in tragedy it gives us readers a lot of imagination. For example: Quasimodo sobbed and cried out from the bottom of his heart: "Ah! Everything I have loved!" The contradiction, regret, and self-blame are all shown in one unified expression. I guess: His conflict is because he "killed" his adoptive father easily. After all, this is his adoptive father - his benefactor, but for the sake of his beloved Esmeralda, he could not help but do all this; His regret is because he knew and fell in love with Esmeralda, which led him to kill his adoptive father who saved his life; his self-blame is because he failed to save Esmeralda and could only watch her being hanged. He failed to do his best to rescue his adoptive father, and could only watch him being swallowed alive by the abyss.
For the three main characters, in summary: Esmeralda is pure, kind, unyielding, extremely compassionate, and sacrifices herself to save others; Esmeralda is insidious, vicious, hypocritical, and inhumane. Lorde and the kind, noble, evil-minded Quasimodo.
Thousands of words, but still that simple sentence - "Notre Dame de Paris" deserves to be the best in the treasure house of world literature, and Hugo deserves to be the leader of romantic literature in the 19th century.
Reflections after reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame Essay 2:
I decided to read "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" by Victor Hugo.
I opened the book with joy, and what greeted me was Esmeralda and her jumping lamb, each and every happy scene. Then, what appeared in front of me was the majestic Notre Dame.
Ah, the person who rang the bell was Quasimodo, how ugly, it was an ugliness that I had never thought of, and a shadow fell on my heart.
As the storyline develops, the scene becomes less bright and more of a gloomy Notre Dame. My heart aches for the girl's disaster. That Quasimodo saved her. The rescue scene flashed before my eyes again and again, the disheveled hair, the strong chest, and the one eye shining with pride. Proud, yes, worthy of pride! I finally saw the most beautiful thing about Quasimodo.
Under the dark rule of the Pope, among the hypocritical and despicable deputy leader, and the frivolous and dissolute archery captain, there is such a shocking image! This image is deeply engraved in my heart and makes me understand the true meaning of beauty. This is a kind of beauty that comes out after many hardships. This is a kind of beauty that condenses kindness and bravery. For the sake of justice, Quasimodo resolutely betrayed the deputy leader he had always believed in. This was a kind of rebellion against the brutal rule of the time.
After reading this book, I thought about that magnificent scene over and over again. I want to imprint Quasimodo’s beauty in my mind forever to fill up my superficial understanding of beauty at that time.
Example 3:
"Notre Dame de Paris" is the masterpiece of the famous French writer Victor Hugo in the 19th century. The novel describes the bizarre life in Paris in the 15th century. The author uses contrasting techniques to depict a group of characters with distinctive, vivid and artistic appeal, and analyzes the rich and complex world of human nature through their intricate conflicts, entanglements and tragic fates.
The first set of characters is the gypsy girl Esmeralda and the bell ringer Quasimodo. The 16-year-old Esmeralda was stunningly beautiful, innocent and kind, and could sing and dance well. However, in the society at that time, such a flower-like life was sadly destroyed by the ultra-conservative and decadent church forces. The 20-year-old Quasimodo was extremely ugly and severely disabled. As soon as he came into the world, he was abandoned first by his relatives and then by the entire society. However, despite his ugly appearance, he has a beautiful and pure heart. He protects Esmeralda with his pure and unadulterated love, trying to keep her away from all harm. But in the face of powerful social prejudice and evil forces, the power of an individual is really insignificant. In the end, the powerful Quasimodo had no choice but to choose the tragic ending of favoritism. These two protagonists have unfortunate life experiences that are intertwined. The huge contrast in appearance cannot conceal their pure and kind nature. Under the illumination of their perfect and beautiful nature, other characters in the novel are exposed. of despicable nature.
Frollo, the deputy bishop of Notre Dame, also fell in love with the beautiful Esmeralda, but his love with Quasimodo was very different. Frollo was cloaked in the sacredness of a clergyman. The halo is sanctimonious, but in the heart he is unable to extricate himself due to conflicts, until his soul is twisted and filled with evil desire for destruction, which ultimately destroys Esmeralda and himself. Hugo profoundly analyzed the dark and twisted soul of this character with a compassionate attitude.
What inspires me is that reading is only one of the ways of self-cultivation, and there should be others. Even if you study, it should not be limited to a certain subject. The establishment and improvement of general cultivation requires reading in literature and art, science, philosophy, sociology, economics, and history. Because life or life is never as standardized and neat as university subject classification. Each field is only one aspect of the world we live in. To understand the world we live in and ourselves, it is beneficial to read widely. In fact, I have long been influenced by Mao Zedong and have demanded this of myself.
Besides this, for example, regarding the relationship between emotion (passion) and reason, emotion should be controlled by reason; all things in life should always be viewed from an interstellar or cosmic perspective, thus understanding human limitations. , etc., all are true insights, all shining with the light of reason!
The above are some of my thoughts after reading "Fu Lei's Family Letter". As the saying goes, "Books cannot express what they say, and words cannot express what they mean." My thoughts after reading can only record part of my gains, and more cannot be written out, but must be integrated into my body. Originally, reading notes and reflections after reading are just means. Understanding and practicing the principles is the final goal.
Reflections after reading "The Story That Never Ends"
After reading "The Story That Never Ends", I felt extremely profound.
"The Neverending Story" is as well-known in Germany as "Journey to the West" is in China. This is absolutely true.
Today, even though we have entered the 21st century, this fairy tale novel is still the favorite literary work of German teenagers and one of the most read and told stories by loving parents.
The protagonist of the novel is a boy named Bastian, who is fat and a bit clumsy, but is very good at telling stories. One morning, on his way to school, he accidentally entered an old bookstore. There, he accidentally discovered a strange book: "The Story That Never Ends", which attracted him with an irresistible magic. The fantasy kingdom is being destroyed, and the innocent queen is dying. As long as a human child gives her a new name, both she and the fantasy kingdom can be saved. So, Bastian is pulled into the story and unexpectedly becomes The Queen of Innocence and the Savior of the Fantasy Kingdom.
In order to thank him, the Queen of Innocence promised to let him realize all his wishes in the fantasy kingdom until he found his true wish. From then on, Bastian began his long and dangerous journey. travel.
After reading "The Story That Never Ends", I finally know why this book is titled: The Story That Never Ends, because fantasy can never be told. story.
"The Story That Never Ends" is a classic, an immortal masterpiece.
I love the endless fantasy kingdom in this book and the endless wonderful stories!
This book attracted me deeply. When I read it to the fullest, I felt as if I was actually there.
I love this book, deeply.
I found that this book is not a story, but a story within a story. First of all, its general framework is Bastian’s story within Atleyu’s story, two story lines. Develop simultaneously.
The many characters and various creatures in the book each have their own stories. Each chapter is an independent story, and each independent story includes many other stories. Because the author has to repeat over and over again, "This is another story, we will tell it later."
I really wish I could go on an expedition to the Fantasy Kingdom and give the Queen of Innocence a new name, and then I could "do whatever I want"! Finally, I successfully obtained the water of life and dedicated it to my parents! Make both Fantasy Kingdom and our world a better place!
Fantasy is a story I can never finish telling!
Reflections after reading "The Story of Love"
Today, I finally finished reading the book "The Story of Love". After reading it, I was deeply moved by the story inside.
"The Story of Love" mainly tells in the form of short stories that maternal love gives warmth, father's love promotes strength, teacher's love encourages growth, fraternity guides nobility, nature teaches harmony, and gratitude brings happiness . In every theme, every story is so touching. From between the lines, I feel how great maternal love is, just like a cup of sweet milk tea, bringing us warmth; how deep father's love is, making us learn to be strong. ; How sincere teacher's love is, making us learn happily; How broad fraternity is, making us feel that we live in a world of love; How magical nature is, allowing humans to live in harmony with animals and plants; Gratitude is like a ray of light Sunshine makes our hearts filled with gratitude and makes us feel how happy life is!
"As long as the heart is filled with love, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome; as long as everyone's heart is filled with love, the world will become a better place!" This is my deep feeling after reading this book!
Thoughts after reading "The Story of Love"
"On a warm Sunday morning in October 1953, at about five o'clock, after my beautiful aunt got out of bed, she started to The world has disappeared."
The highest suspense in the book is revealed at the beginning of the story - the beautiful aunt disappears from this world!
Initially, I was as curious as Ji Sai. Faced with the shock of his mother’s sudden disappearance and his own shortcomings, what would Wulu become like? However, it was beyond everyone's expectation. He is a smart, strong, enthusiastic, brave, open-minded boy with a sense of justice. Faced with all kinds of misfortunes, he did not passively avoid them, but chose to accept and face them. He quietly covered up his inner pain without showing any trace, and only revealed it lightly inadvertently. Although he knew there was little hope, he still believed in his heart that his mother had not really left him. One day, he might suddenly and magically return to him, or interact with him in some familiar way. Contact him and tell him the story of "the place where two worlds meet." This belief gave Wu Luo great courage. Even in class, in full view of the public, when Bourne made things difficult with vicious words, he could still suppress the extreme pain and anger in his heart. To borrow an interesting story - my mother learned the art of invisibility, and made things easy for her. Brought it.
However, when Bourne hurt Ji Sai again, Wuluo, who had always been self-restrained and polite, was like an angry lion and taught Bourne a lesson.
Jisai is beautiful, willful and loved by everyone. Unable to bear and witness the tragedy of his father's suicide, he chose to escape in life, hide the truth, and pretend that it never happened. However, the truth still reminded her and tortured her through recurring nightmares.
She and Wu Luo bear different fates, but suffer the same fate.
What she desires to be recognized by everyone is herself, not a head of hair in the name of beauty. When he knew that it was her father who insisted on letting her grow long hair, he transferred his love and hatred for his father to this visible and tangible thing. When the truth was revealed again, the hair became the culprit. And Wu Luo's words - "You are just injured" made Ji Sai completely sober. All those years of resentment were just because I was hurt.
In the end, both Ji Sai and Wu Luo found the "intersection of the two worlds." The shadows are gone and everything is a new beginning.
Thoughts after reading the stories of Shaoxing celebrities
Opening it, there are eighty-three celebrities and eighty-eight stories, which demonstrate the spiritual style of the sages. Just close it and it will leave beautiful memories in your mind. This is a book that people can't put down - "Stories of Shaoxing Celebrities".
This is a learned story book: each story is filled with wisdom, and each story contains infinite power. Among the pearls of stories, I like the shining pearl the most: a story about Zhu Kezhen - learning for life.
During the Spring Festival of 1974, Zhu Kezhen, who was eighty-four years old and seriously ill, was lying on the bed, coughing. But when he heard the voice of his grandson-in-law Wang Rong, who was a researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he asked him to come in and continue talking to him about some cutting-edge topics in international theoretical physics research. Wang Rong started talking, but Zhu Kezhen still couldn't hear clearly even though he was wearing a hearing aid. He was holding his head and slowly tilting his body, and there were layers of sweat on his forehead due to the pain. Wang Rong was very sad to see his grandfather like this, and persuaded Zhu Kezhen to take a rest. But Zhu Kezhen seemed to know that he would die soon, and insisted that Wang Rong write down the lecture content. He told him that even if he passed away, he must still do it. A person who understands. Two weeks later, Zhu Kezhen was on his deathbed, but he still recorded the weather of that day clearly and said goodbye to this world the next day.
Zhu Kezhen is the founder of modern geography and meteorology in my country. He kept diary records of daily weather and phenology for thirty-eight years without interruption. The immortal spirit of "learning for life", the persistent learning attitude and the concept of being committed to facts are spread in the world.
Shaoxing is an ancient land rich in profound culture. It is a famous cultural city with a long history. From Dayu's control of floods, he passed through the house three times without entering, King Goujian of Yue suffered hardships while lying down, and patriotic poet Lu You showed his death to his son. , to the modern Jianhu heroine's heroic sacrifice to serve the motherland, Zhu Kezhen's lifelong learning, etc., Shaoxing has cultivated batches of people with lofty ideals, benevolent people, and heroes. Countless celebrities are like luminous pearls, spreading and illuminating the land of China. After reading "Stories of Shaoxing Celebrities", I was deeply moved. Savoring the stories of Shaoxing celebrities is like savoring Shaoxing old people. The fragrance drifts into the nostrils, refreshing... Zhu Kezhen's spirit is worth learning from.
From this, I thought that in life, some people just lie in bed and don’t want to study or work when they have a slight cold. What's more, there are some people who don't want to work hard, are afraid of hardship and hardship, and are picky about their work. They always want to get something for nothing through various illegal means. They have no ideals, beliefs, and goals. They retreat when encountering any difficulties and do not want to make progress. . I feel really ashamed when I think about the celebrities in Shaoxing and Zhu Kezhen, who despite being seriously ill still insisted on asking his grandson-in-law to give him lectures and kept a diary every day.
If we can all learn from Zhu Kezhen’s spirit and carry forward the fine traditions of Shaoxing celebrities, especially our students, we will start from a young age and use what we learn in the future to become an excellent Shaoxing person and build a better tomorrow for Shaoxing. What a solid foundation.
Let us savor this excellent book! Learn wisdom time and time again and learn to be strong forever!
I gained a lot during this summer vacation, one after another.
It’s summer vacation. I don’t have to go to school, so I have more time at my disposal. I don't play on the computer or watch TV like other children... but learn some extracurricular knowledge. I took part in Mathematical Olympiad classes, English classes, and swimming classes. I also went to a teacher’s house to learn writing. Although every day is fully scheduled, I don’t feel hard at all, but live a fulfilling life. I feel that my ability to answer math problems has been enhanced; the amount of English vocabulary I have accumulated has become richer; my ability to express myself in composition has also improved; and my swimming skills have improved rapidly.
My biggest reward was watching the Olympics. I used my rest time to turn on the TV and watch Olympic programs. I have seen many outstanding athletes on TV who have won many medals. When reporters ask them what they want to say after getting this gold medal, the athletes will say: "I worked hard to get this gold medal." A lot of sweat and a lot of energy. I think if you want to succeed, you have to work hard.” Their words made me think about it for a long time.
