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.”
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.
Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.It is a very happy day for many boys and girls .Before the term ends in some schools ,the children act a nativity or “birth” play,showing how Jesus was born in a stable.
On the twenty-fourth of December,all children are very excited.Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace ,so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in.The greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents.Later that night,Father or Mother will put presents in the sock,and leave others at the side of the bed.
On Christmas morning,the children wake up very early.Some even turn on the light at two o'clock,and most of them are awake by six o'clock although it is not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year.Children look for their presents,and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.At about one o'clock in the afternoon,the Christmas dinner is brought in.The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten.Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it.The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.
瑟瑟的秋风无情地向我袭来,也同时侵蚀着我的灵魂。
我孤独地行走在异乡,陪伴我的只有那匹朝夕相处、瘦骨如柴的老马。经过多天的流浪,它早已跟我一样,疲惫不堪。我拉着它踉踉跄跄地往前走,希望能在别人家里借宿一宵,但在这荒凉的古道前方,似乎望不到尽头。正如我现在的心境,过了今天,不知道还有没有明天,只能走一步算一步了。
我把老马牵到一棵垂垂老已的大树下,看着仅剩的几根脆弱的枯枝,不禁想起它在花样年华之季,是何等生机勃勃。但现在,眼前的`老树已失去了光辉,变得黯淡无光,在它身上完全看不到生命的影子。缠绕在它身上的藤,已经枯萎了,看上去,是多么弱不禁风。想当年,它的生命力多旺盛啊!因为靠着树,它成长得多么迅速,攀援得多么高。当它渐渐地老了,再也受不住风雨的摧残,只能无声无息地死去。黄昏回家的乌鸦的叫声打破了静寂的天空,虽显出几分生机,但是单调而刺耳。
我拉着老马继续向前走。看见一条细水潺潺、清澈见底的小溪。溪上架着一条只有一尺宽的小木桥,木板凹凸不平,异常简陋。溪水哗哗地流着,是那样自由,那样欢畅,那样的无忧无虑。听着流水,惆怅的心情竟有了淡淡的释然。
昏黄的天空中飘着几缕从那户人家冒出的袅袅轻烟,带着饭香的气味迎面扑来。我回头望了望,淡黄的窗纸上映着一家三口幸福的笑影。回头看看我自己,孤苦伶仃,孤身只影,即使有老马陪伴,也透不出一丝温馨。我的家人,却在遥远的故乡。
断肠人在天涯,流浪、流浪,流浪到远方。
这是一个寂寂的秋末的黄昏。
有悠悠的音乐从远方隐隐约约地传来:不要问我从哪里来,我的故乡在远方,不要问我为什么为什么流浪远方……
秋风秋雨愁煞人。雨已经停了,夕阳已渐西下,只在山顶留下半张无精打采的脸,无奈地看着这无精打采的人间。路边有一些孤独的树木神色黯然的垂着头,似乎想挣脱纠缠在身上一些蔫蔫的藤。枝上有乌鸦栖息,偶尔盘旋,空气中似乎也听得到鸦们沉重的喘息声。路边小河里的水干得差不多了,余留的一点儿也在无声的挣扎着。袅袅的炊烟提醒着行人这里还有人家,但那几间歪歪倒倒的小茅屋实在不能给这黄昏太多的温暖。小石桥趴在河上很多年了,似乎从来没有开心过。流水老了,石板也老了,小桥更老得像一个老态龙钟的百岁老人,经不起岁月的践踏了。只有那弯弯曲曲的古道,迈着沉重的步子,强打着精神通向远方。
离家已经多久,他记不清了,归家还有多远,他不知道。他只感觉自己好像已经在这条古道上行走了一千年一万年。西风已经寒人,他又打了一个冷战。马在他身下瑟瑟地发抖,抖得他的心也晃悠起来。马是如此地瘦了,他自己呢?他不敢看,也不敢想。西风又起了,他感觉到鬓边的发丝猖狂地飞舞着,他突然心酸起来:羁旅漂泊之人,不敢对镜啊!镜中又该有多少白发添啊!
走吧走吧,走在这黄尘古道上,走在春花秋月里,走在现实历史间。青春有多远?家乡有多远?理想又有多远?不去想吧,不去求吧。一天又要过去了,古道不尽,愁思不尽啊!在风中,在越来越昏暗凄冷的黄昏中,有一些句子,在他的心中突然得明晰起来:
枯藤老树昏鸦,
小桥流水人家,
故道西风瘦马,
夕阳西下,
断肠人在天涯。

It has been two weeks since I last wrote to you. I am so sorry that I don‘t write you very often.
However, I have been busy with my preparation
for the final exams. As you know, I‘m coming home on Jan.14th. But before that, I have to take the final exams for all six classes I‘m taking this semester. Recently I have been in and out of the library a lot to do some research on the term paper for one of the classes. Most professors gave out the review problems already so that the students can study for the final. I think I‘m doing okay studying for the final.
Besides reviewing materials, I‘m also planning to host the New Year party of my department. You know there are so many talented people in my Communications major, but they picked me to host the party! Great, isn‘t it?
Well gotta go talk to you soon.
Love you,
