Sense and Sensibility was the first Jane Austen published. Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Whereas the former is a sensible,, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinors hand, Marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister.

The Father and His Son
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
After reading "A tale of two cities" "A tale of two cities" is one of Dickenss most important representative works.The novel profoundly exposed the society contradiction before the French Revolution,intensely attacks the aristocratic social clais dissolute and cruel,and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed classes.The novel also described many magnificent scenes like the revolt people attacked Bastille and so on,which displayed peoples great strength.
The novel has portrayed many different people. Doctor Manette is honest and kind but suffers the persecution actually , Lucie is beautiful and gentle ,Charles is graceful and noble,Lorry is upright and honest ,Sydney is semblance of indifferent, innermost feelings of warm,unconventional but also selfleand lofty,MiProis straightforward and loyal,Evremonde brothers are cruel and sinister......The complex hatred is hard to solve, the cruel revenge has made more hatreds, loves rebirth in the hell edge,but take the life as the price.
As an outstanding writer,in Dickenss work,the language skill is essential.Each kind of rhetoric technique,like the analogy,the exaggeration,the contrast,the humorous,and the taunt are handled skillfully,and the artistry of the work is also delivered the peak."A tale of two cities" has its difference with the general historical novel, its character and the main plot are all fictionalizes.With the broad real background of the French Revolution,the author take the fictional character Doctor Manettes experience as the main clue,interweaves the unjust charge, upholstery and so many techniques,causes the structure integrity and strictness,the plot winding anxious and rich of theatrical nature,it displayed the remarkable artistic skill.the style "A tale of two cities" is solemnity and melancholy,fills indignantion,but lacks the humor of the early works.

got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works.Told in language of great simplicity and power,it is the story of an old Cuban fisherman,down on his luck,and his supreme ordeal——a relentless,agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.
Here Hemingway recasts,in strikingly contemporary style,the classic thene of courage in the face of defeat,of personal triumph won from los.
Written in 1952,this hugely successfully novella confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a huge part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.
The novel is very famous in the world, so lot of people like this novel. We also studied it in our Chinese class, Hemingways novel are always interesting I like his novel much, also in his novel we can learn a lot by his meanings.
It’s really a good novel for people to read.
转眼间,已经10月6日了,下午,我将要参加由广州市少年宫举行的“少儿英语表演赛”初赛。虽然或多或少地准备了三天,可心里依旧没有底。就从我们班看吧,参加这次比赛的同学在放假前好几天就开始准备了。再把眼光放远一些,整个广州市的英语精英多的是,他们不知什么时候就开始准备了。不说这么多了,反正就是一句话:心里乱的是。
下午两点钟多一点点,我就出去坐车了。一想到马上就要比赛,心里就慌得“咚咚”直跳。毕竟,我自己的事自己知道,为了这次比赛,我做的准备时间不超过四小时。一想到这些,我就不寒而栗了。趁现在这段时间,我还是再复习几遍吧,虽然临时抱佛脚是没用的,但毕竟多练习一次就多一丝希望。
一个多小时的.车程转眼间就过了。刚踏入少年宫,就感到了一阵生机,门口放着一张鲜绿的大牌,两边还各有一个气球人,挥动着两只长长的手臂,仿佛在为我加油。四周的树木绿绿的。看到这一切,心里就轻松了一些。可是来到赛场,心里就又一阵害怕了,多严肃啊。这时,我真想看到一个两个同班同学,就是他们一句简单的鼓励我的话,也能让我心里踏实一些。可是没有。
走进赛场,就开始了等待。这时,我是可以在作准备的,可紧张和担心已让我受够了。过了一会儿,就有老师领着我们进场。
只见比赛的教室里一片肃静,我们这些参赛选手各就各位后比赛就开始了。大家一个一个地表演,有的显示出了自己的风采,也有部分同学因紧张而发挥不出真正的成绩。“下面是Aa147号同学。”裁判员点到。我小小步地来到教室中央。“Good afternoon,evebody."刚说完,我就紧张得忘记了下一句,好一会儿才想起来。看着裁判员那一脸的微笑,我那悬着的心渐渐平静了下来。用较流利的英语讲起了故事。刚讲到一半,突然忘记了下一句,好久才想起来。这时,讲到了我平时最不熟的一句就停下了,心里“咚咚咚”地跳个不停,我确实记不起下一句是什么。我紧张地看着裁判们,他们都面带着微笑,但是任我怎样使劲地想,脑子里就是一片空白。这时,只见裁判脸一沉,说了声“唱歌吧。”我的心也随之沉了下来,这无疑是给我判了死刑。但我一向是要强的人,还是高声唱起了英文歌。接下来,大家又一个个上台表演了。
虽然这次比赛我失败了,但我并不灰心,重在参与嘛,成败并不重要。从这次失败中,我明白了凡事都要认真对待才能成功。我相信从这次失败中吸取到教训,下一次我一定能行!
