吉姆老爷英文读后感

lord jim is one of the representative works of conrad, an british novelist and an navigator,occupies an important position in the history of british literature. as a navigator, conrad have a special preference to sea, and he always draw sea and marine life as his novels' creation background and theme. lord jim is one of his influential works. to make book report of this book, there are four essential issue have to be involved, that are:（1） the outline of the book.（2）the singular structure of the book.analysis the hero's heroism the theme of the book-- to reveal the imperialism's false.

the outline of the book:the book tells such a story: lord jim ,a son from a parsonage, is a mate of paterna. he went to the court alone and his sailing qualifications was cancelled due to abandoning the ship and overlooking his duty when a shipwreck happened. after that, in the help of marlow captain, jim change a lot of work. he finally settled in patusan, an indigenous settlement whose civilization is isolated, under marlow captain and his mate stan's arrangement. in patusan, jim win the master's trust. once, he interceded with a gang of white pirates for the master, and allowed. however, those pirates were treacherous and kill the master's son when they left. jim was filled with grief and indignation, and he want to ask for the master's forgiveness via killing himself.

the singular structure is a important feature of lord jim. the story is very interesting and his climaxs is not complicated. however, conrad did not write the story from jim's birth to his death to follow the prescribed order. to instead of the prescribed order, conrad divided the forty-five chapter novel into three parts, and respectively adopt different narrative method to narrate each part. the first part, which stop at the forth chapter, was written with the third person narration. from the fifth chapter to the thirty-sixth chapter, that is the second part. in this part, conrad drew marlow captain as the narrator to tell some people the story of jim after meal. and he storrest chapters is the final part of the story, which is followed by marlow address to a "privileged". the fancy structure made me confused the first time i read it, and i make its climax clear after i read the second time. however, on other than conrad's singular structure makes the story whose climax is very simple afford for thought.

when analysis this book ,we can not overlook jim's heroism, which makes jim be a inconsistent person and causes jim's tragedy. "after a course of light holiday literature his vocation for the sea had declared itself" "fhe could see the dig ships departing, the broad-beamed ferries constantly on the move,the little boats floaing far below his feet, with the hazy splendour of the sea in the distance, and the hope of a stirring life in the world of adventure. "from those words from the marine novel, we can easy know jim's strong heroism. thought jim bear heroism in heart, he can not carry it out bravely. that makes him a inconsistent person. when shipwreck happened and needed him to show heroism, he was defeated by his instinctive fear and abandon the ship . however ,on taking on the accident boat, he want to swim back the sinking ship to have a look. what's more, his heroism make contributes to his tragedy. when he was rescued, his heroism prompt him to chose to be honesty, and not like the captain lied about that. thought in deed, the captain is the biggest responsibility for the shipwreck, jim went to the court alone to receive the adjudgement and his sailing qualifications was take off. all in all, jim was too romantic with the fictional world of sailing hero.

from where i stand, though the book tells jim's story, i think his aim is to reveal the false of western imperialism. as to this issue, we can analysis the false imperialism via contrast. the captain of paterna is arrogant and noble, and proud of coming from "these abode of piety and peace ".however, when the shipwreck happened, he flee from a calamity without a flash of hesitation. contrast to the captain, the two native niggers try their best to carry out their duty as a humble sailor. and though jim also abandon the ship, he regret immediately when take on the accident boat, and he is honest to receive the court's adjudgement in stead of telling lies. in addition, contrast to the gang of white pirates' treachery, the master of patusan shows his mercy to the white pirates after jim's beg. that is a epitome of the relationship between the colonist and aboriginals. the colonist cheat adoriginals' mercy and then kill them cruelly. and jim's self-abuse and suicide also reflect the imperialism's false.

lord jim is regarded as a monument on the history of british novel.the highly status is oweing to the fancy structure and narrations. conrad expose the theme with the trifling story of jim'.  he can follow the story whose climax is very simple in a interesting way with a singular structure. it is no wonder that lord jim become a monument of british novel.

小说英文读后感

——《喜福会》读后感

reading the novel is not the first time of my knowing the joy luck club . when i watched the film , the meaning of the title , the theme of the novel , the reason for the arrangement of stories from four mothers and their daughters and other important things were all unknown to me . but i knew that was my type for it is about feelings between mothers and daughters , and especially chinese speaking eglish .

amy tan , a chinese american writer , is the author of the book in which she explors the mother-daughter relationships . originally , the relationships between mother and daughter seem to be quite complex in a family but in amy tan's work , it is perfectly typical for its portrayal of conflicts between the traditional chinese mothers speaking shabby english and the open wholly americanized daughters who just wear a chinese face but speak fluent english . i never think it is richly dramatical , and instead these kinds of conflicts , in fact , truly ecists in many chinese immigrants' family . the novel is written impressively and deeply especially , i think , in understanding of mothers' love for their daughters for reasons that the previous experience of her with her mother provided the basis for her novel . it is said that the exprience of anthor is similar to that of jingmei woo . maybe , the novel implies the deep and complex feelings of auther for her mother and her closest relatives in china .

it gives me a greatly deep impression that the book is begun with feathers from a thousand li away . it penetrates the mothers' hope and love for their daughters through a swan's feather . through the old woman's words "in america i will have a daughter just like me. but over there nobody will say her worth is measured by the loudness of her husband's belch. over there nobody will look down on her, because i will make her speak only perfect american english. and over there she will always be too full to swallow any sorrow! she will know my meaning, because i will give her this swan—a creature that became more than what was hoped for." and the mothers' former tragic sufferings , we will find that all the mothers are in hope of their daughters never suffering from their sufferings . and the mothers waited, year after year, for the day , they could tell their daughters it is their hope through a feather of the swan in perfect american english . at first , it is a little difficult to understand the reason for these words . however , through the whole novel , in fact , you will find the old woman represents the four mothers , the feather of swan embodies the hope of mothers for their daughters . these sentences show implicitly the feelings of author and her understandings for mothers . in fact , in the joy luck club , the feather indeed is gained by jingmei woo . and from the beginning to the end ,the feather has been existing .

only if one high-quality novel , like a perfect verse , needs you spending much time reading once more , you will understand something . i thought that the novel is loosely plotted and is in disorder . but the fact verifies that i am wrong . through the whole story , the novel begins with the death of jingmei's mother and ends in jingmei visiting china to see the twin-half sisters whom her mother had been forced to abandon when the japanese attacked china many years ago . what's more , in detail , the stories of four mothers and four daughters have relative connections in theme about love between them and the mothers' hope for their daughters . and the theme shows the comflicts and harmonization between different cultures .then i think why the author titled the novel " joy luck club " . i am puzzled by it and the purpose of writer . the name of club made mention of by jingmei's mother . and the author directly titling the novel the name of their meeting implies her feelings for her mother . i can guess that the title originated from a kind of hope or belief . according to mothers' former sufferings , they were not happy . even at the present , all of them hides the previous tragic experiences . maybe , the club is a place where they can pretend to be happy or avoid the past memory or worries or even the shock of culture .

reading the novel is as we are reading our life and then think our past , present and futere . especially , the conflict between waverly jang and her mother impresses me most . waverly is a woman who is quite independent-mined and intelligent , but her mother's constant criticism is terribly annoying . she once had a gift for international chess.however , when she realized her mother taking advantage of her achievement and talent to show off in public , especially to the strangers , she felt terribly ashamed and annoyed . she shouted to " you can not make me " . from then on , her mother felt cold at waverly and were particularabout her favorite things . in fact , i think waverly felt sacred subconsciously at letting her mother down and something that she did was aimed at flattering her mother . when waverly brought her boyfriend , rich , to her families , her mother just smiled but she still was particular about rich's appearance , having many spots on his face . description about the conflicts of manners between chinese tradition and american notions has given me a greatly deep impression and quite interesting . these words of " and then he had helped himself to big portions of the shrimp and snow peas , not realizing he should have taken only a polite spoonful, until everybody had had a morsel . " vividly express the american character of being casual which counts as discourtesy in china . the part of rich criticizing her mother's cooking is quite funny and impressive . our chinese habit of making disparaging remarks seems to be extremely common . being modest and avoiding showing off are parts of chinese traditional manners . her mother complaining about " this dish not salty enough , no flavor " , in fact , was a cue to eat some and proclaim it it the best she had ever made . but the rich did not understand . from the following description of her mother being horrified , i judged that her mother was strongly objective against rich and even their marriage . waverly also had such an opinion . but i am wrong and from their conversation i understand something more important . mother is the only one that understands their daughters or sons in the world.and none of the mothers do not love their children . and the heaty conversattion can make a strong bridge between the different generation or even the peonple from the different cultures . i find that if you would not like to tell your hearty words out , others are not able to know what you are and what you think . people each have different opinions about the same things . waverly had thought that her mother disapproved of her marriage and hated her rich . however , her mother's meaningful words surprised waverly and even me . just be particular about who i really care for and love. it occured to me that whoever we hurt is always who we really love for reasons that others would not care for our complaint . yes , who will care for those who you do not love ? the answer is known by us fron the beginning to the end . it is the love for waverly that her mother has been showing her . waverly , a wholly americanized girl , never trully knew her mother and was ignorant of the love for her . indeed , the language and the culture did make a great difference in the exchange of feelings , which is a terribly high barrier between waverly and her mother , also between other three mothers and their daughters . but love and understandings , finally will prevail over others .

personally , through the whole novel , the conflict between mothers and daughters , virtually , is that of the cultures between the east and the west . mothers represent the classic, traditional chinese culture but the daughters are the symbol of just , free , open and modern american one , which are two kinds of contradictory elements . however , through the whole novel , it is easier to find that finally they can understand each other and be in harmony . when jing-mei saw her twin-half sisters , she was surprised at this kind of familiarity . "and now i also see what part of me is chinese. it is so obvious. it is my family. it is in our blood. after all these years, it can finally be let go. " shows that jing-mei understood her mother's stubbornness and love and was struck by mother's greatness . the resolution of the contradiction shows that the cultures of the east and the west can be in harmony with each other .

英文简爱读后感

this is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. the story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.

it seems to me that many readers’ english reading experience starts with jane eyer. i am of no exception. as we refer to the movie “jane eyer”， it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.

jane eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly as a ragtag. since jane’s education in lowwood orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. the suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.as a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, jane got a chance to be a tutor in thornfield garden. there she made the acquaintance of lovely adele and that garden’s owner, rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: after jane and rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was jane eyer. the film has finally got a symbolist end: jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. after finding rochester’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, jane chose to stay with him forever.

i don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, i would rather regard the section that jane began her teaching job in thornfield as the film’s end----especially when i heard jane’s words “never in my life have i been awaken so happily.” for one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. but the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: there must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of jane’s life that “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.” （by forrest gump’s mother, in the film “forrest gump”）

what’s more, this film didn’t end when jane left thornfield. for jane eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for rochester, how he can get salvation? the film gives the answer tentatively: jane eventually got back to rochester. in fact, when jane met rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant rochester would get retrieval because of jane. we can consider rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. the fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. after it, rochester got the mercy of the god and the love of the woman whom he loved. here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. the value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.

幸运的吉姆读后感

《金银岛》同《神秘岛》一样，都是一部不错的探险小说。英国作家史蒂文生在文中生动惊险的描绘出主人翁吉姆在得到“卡尔”船长的藏宝图后，与众人一起寻宝，可没想到水手竟是海盗假扮的，在船长带领下，击溃海盗，夺取财宝的曲折故事。

吉姆一家在海边开店，卡尔的到来影响了他们一家，父亲最终忧虑而死，吉姆在卡尔的水手箱里发现了张藏宝图，与当地一些人向金银岛近发，幸运的吉姆在苹果箱里意外得知西尔弗是海盗头头，告诉船长，并在岸上展开几场大战。幸运儿机灵的吉姆在敌人面前几次解围，顺利战胜了他们，获得了巨大的财宝。

本文主要写了吉姆的成长历程，还刻画了西尔弗这个阴险狡诈的形象，深受大家喜爱。虽然我没有亲身去到那儿冒险，但是在我的脑海中，总能浮出一丝景象，吉姆他那正直的面孔总能出现，在他身边他是显得那么的高尚、善良、勇敢，他总是能制服海盗，取得胜利，他是多么勇敢！他能在敌人面前吐真言！就当我看到这些的时候我心里十分震撼一个少年能有那么大的勇气说出这些，这让我很佩服。当然我有佩服的人也有愤恨的人，例如西尔弗为代表的人物，()在他们的身上体现的都是虚伪、非分、邪-恶的，他们为了自己而杀死别人的性命，他们没有为自己所做的事情感到愧疚，而是更猖狂。越想到金钱脑子空空，仅剩下杀人的念头，想一个接一个的把人喉管割破，横行霸道。让我的脑子里全部浮现出他们带着一双凶恶的眼睛恐怖的狞笑拿着水手短刀疯狂的杀了很多人，只是为了自己的利益而丧失人性。

这本离奇浪漫的小说让我明白邪-恶永远打不过正义，要做勇敢、果断、守纪律的人。多动脑子，作者极富感染力的语言也让我受益匪浅。读《金银岛》，体会人物心情，感受人间正义！
