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.
Reading Notes of Pride and Prejudice
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” This beginning sentence of the book seems to tell us the main story of the book is about the marriage of rich men. The heroine of the book is Elizabeth and at the chapter One, we are told that the father Mr. Bennet prefers Elizabeth among his daughters, in this case, Elizabeth must be a girl who is more special and intelligent.
The story is about love and marriage. Charlotte married Collins because his fortune and she feels nervous about her age even the man is so old-fashioned and ingratiating. However, their marriage is about money and they do not get the real happy. The other man Wickham is a handsome but a man who is a liar. He lies to Elizabeth to gain her appreciation. And his love with Lydia is shallow and about appearance. The love of Jane and Bingley has a better ending. They have love in the relationship and appreciate each other because of the deeper virtue. But they do come through a lot because the misunderstanding they had before.
The love of Elizabeth and the hero of the book Darcy responses the title Pride and Prejudice. In the eye of Elizabeth, Darcy is no doubt pride and arrogant. Darcy falls in love with Elizabeth and proposes marriage to her, but he is still very arrogant so Elizabeth refuses him directly. Darcy
feels hard hit and regrets of being arrogant. However, Elizabeth has a prejudice about Darcy at the very beginning and mistaken believes in Wickham but she finally knows the truth and feels shame of her family. Darcy moves Elizabeth with his pleasant virtue in the end.
一放暑假,我和妈妈就进入了“备战”状态。不断地改进“作战计划”——准备演讲故事,并让老师过目修改,让句子更流畅,让内容更精彩。精心挑选“装备”——在网上购买服装道具,为了在演讲时让故事更生动活泼。
7月15日,“战争”的号角吹响了,我也“重装”上阵,蓄势待发。
第一场“战役”,才艺表演:唱歌、跳舞、书画、二胡、小提琴、快板,真是八仙过海各显神通。我的快板表演也极富创意,具有中国特色。
第二场“战役”,看图即兴编故事:图片随机抽取,选手只有一分钟准备时间。在那一分钟里,我的大脑高速运转,玩命地搜索英文单词,紧张的心情并没有打扰我的比赛。
第三场“战役”,关键词故事演讲:选手们各出奇招,表现超凡。我“全副武装”,化身头戴草帽的白胡子老爷爷,手拿人偶,又说又唱,十分完美地演绎了故事内容。
“战后”,我取得了二等奖。“书山有路勤为径,学海无涯苦作舟。”想拿第一,还得勤学苦练。
