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.
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.

Father's Day
Yesterday was Father's Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didn't remember it until in the morning.It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him. Suddenly I
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.
What a wonderful surprise!
Tonight I watched the movie for the third time. I really enjoy this film so much.
So what's your choice between being a common person or a hero with people's reects? Most people will choose the latter. But what will be your choice if the cost is laying your lover among the risks? What will it be if the cost is you can never tell the girl, who you love so much, that you love her? The ider man had this contradiction. But finally he still chose the latter, not in order to be a hero, but to make this word peaceful.
I was so moved by the words the Aunt Mary said:
You will never guess what he wants to be, the ider man. He knows the hero when he sees one, too a few characters out there, flying all around out there, saving old girls like me. Lord knows kids like Henry need hero courageous, sacrificing for people, setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People enthrone them, cheer them, scream their names and years later they will tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse the one who taught them to hold on to stand longer. I believe there is a hero in all of us. They keep us be honest, give us strength, make us noble, and finally allow us to die with proud. Ever though sometimes we have to initiatively give up the thing we want most, even our dreams. Spider man did that for Henry, so he wants to know where he is gone. He needs him.
The ider man got much from these words, so did I. And what about you? what's the hero lying in you?

The novel has portrayed many different people.

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.
几天前我被两个具有中国特色的卡通人物吸引了,一个是穿着冰晶外壳、头戴七彩冰头盔、脚踩能量环、充满了科技感的大熊猫;另一个是一身中国红、头顶如意环、面部是一团白雪、脑袋围了一圈和平鸽和天坛图案的灯笼娃,它们敦厚可爱、憨态可掬的模样瞬间萌化了我的心。后来得知它们俩就是即将在北京举行的2022年冬奥会和残奥会的吉祥物——冰墩墩和雪容融!
这天做完作业后我在纸上画着冰墩墩和雪容融的样子,刚画好它俩突然从纸上跳到了我的书桌上,冲着我咯咯地笑:“想和我们一起玩吗?”我惊喜地点点头,“跟我来,带你去一个好地方!”冰墩墩一手拉着我一手拉着雪容融,只见脚下的能量环发出一束强烈的光芒,刺得我闭上了眼睛,当我睁开眼时已经到了冬奥会“冰丝带”速滑场。哇,好大呀!冰墩墩说:“这里将承办冬奥会的冰上比赛项目,看见中间大的冰上赛道了吗?敢不敢挑战?”从没有滑过雪的我被这七彩高大漂亮的场馆吸引了决定一试。我们换好了滑雪服,看着陡峭的赛道,双腿发抖,内心打起了退堂鼓。冰墩墩说:“滑雪运动就是要考验运动员的强壮的体魄和坚强的意志,你要勇敢一些哦!”看着它坚定的眼神,我说:“好,来吧!”一旁的滑雪专家雪容融微笑着拉起我的手,开始教我怎样滑,怎样拐弯,怎样停下。在它耐心指导下,我掌握了一些技巧顺利地滑起来。整个学习过程中,冰墩墩坚强的意志是我学习的榜样,强健的体魄是我以后运动的动力,当然我能这么快的掌握滑雪技巧更离不开雪容融的包容和鼓励。
它们在前我在后渐渐地速度越来越快,我们都兴奋地叫着、笑着,我看见了冰墩墩七彩冰晶头盔和外衣闪着七彩的光芒,像一个外太空飞来的天使,而雪容融快乐地跳起了灯笼舞,喜气洋洋跳到哪里哪里亮,太美了!在我们的影响下所有来训练和参观的各国小伙伴们,随着我们一起快乐的滑起雪唱起歌来,大家的欢呼声和笑声久久回荡在空旷的速滑场上空,我们约定2022年一定相聚在北京的冬奥会上。这时我才真正体会到奥林匹克的精神:相互了解、友谊团结、公平竞争。
“宝贝,想什么呢?”妈妈的一句话把我拉回了现实,我告诉她刚才冰墩墩和雪容融来过了,我们相约再见于2022年的北京冬奥会上,我一定要和这两个形象大使合影留念!
There are two opposite gangs named socs and greasers. kids whose backgrounds are very rich are called socials, we name it as socs. the poor kids are called greasers, because their hair are covered with grease and they often wear greasy clothes. there are full of contradiction between them. the main character is ponyboy, he is the youngest greaser, and he hates the socs because he always gets jumped by them. darry and sodapop are his elder brothers, and they both dropped out of school to work in order to raise money for ponyboy ‘s study. through seeing a movie together with a rich but kind girl, cherry, ponyboy realizes that not all socs are bad. johnny is his best friend, he used to be very weak, but after being jumped by 4 socs, he becomes mad and usually brings a switchblade with him, and if there is anyone who wants to play tricks on him, he will kill that one. suddenly, in a week, johnny dies in a fire, bob(his friend is kill by someone unwillingly, dally(the most violent greaser kill himself because johnny’s death. ponyboy grows a lot, realize the love of his families and friends, and promises to be a good man, and not fight anymore..
This is really a heroic story, and i learnt a lot from it..
First of all, i realized that we shouldn’t assess anyone just by knowing about his background. in the book, ponyboy thought that life was unfair-socs always win, greasers always lose. socs could easily go to college, but greasers sometimes must drop out of school to work for their livings. so he hated socs as if from his birth. but he gradually realized that some socs are kind, but some greasers are alike a hood. so we should also know people deeply before judging them, and believe the truth more than our subjective things.
Secondly, no matter how our backgrounds and families are, we should have kind and brave hearts. in the story, ponyboy saw many greasers crime and fight just because of their identify, he thought that was totally wrong. even his dying friend, johnny told him to stay gold which means to be kind, simple and pure in a serious health condition. on the other hand, ponyboy thought gresers have the same rights as socs, and he never lowered his head in front of socs.
There are also something good about love. at the beginning, ponyboy thought that dally, his eldest brother fully concentrated on working and making money, but never cared about him and sodapop, and he was dislike a young man anymore, more like an adult. but once ponyboy was sick very seriously, he saw dally crying for the first time when he was asleep-going-to-waken-up. and when they were having a rumble with a gang of socs, he was always covered with his two elder brothers. from that, he knew his small family would never be short of love, and his brothers loved him much more than he could imagine. in my real life, when my teachers and parents are strict with me, i shouldn’t think that they don’t love me, it is just another, more deep way to love.
The writer wrote this book when he was only a teenager as fourteen-going-to-fifteen, in the same age as me. so it is more easy for me to get close to him and understand him. but he truly experienced all i experienced and something i have never imagined. so i should learn something good from him, and keep away from thing bad he had done.
This book really taught me a lot, and i will spare no efforts to do the good things it bring to me!
