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.
回忆起往事,许多人,许多事,许多话都已经淡忘了,唯独一句话,至今记忆犹新,那就是“不要放弃自己的信念”。
周末,我和爸爸去爬清源山。高高的清源山山峰,好像一个插入云天的巨人,在向我猖狂地吼叫:“来吧!看你飞上来吧!”
开始爬山了,我一马当先,一溜烟,就把爸爸远远地抛在了后面。周围人烟稀少,我不禁洋洋自得起来:“连爸爸都不及我的速度快,那征服清源山岂不是易如反掌?”
可惜好景不长,由于我之前的得意忘形,所以只爬到半山腰,就体力俱减,气喘如牛,腿跟绑了铅块一般重,根本提不起劲,见路边有块大石头,就忍不住瘫坐下去,呼!呼!的喘着大气。看着不断从我身边经过,超过我继续向前的游人,仰头望着前边曲曲折折见不到头的羊肠小道,我不禁叹了一口气,:“四肢无力,这要爬到猴年马月才能到达巅峰呀!
这时爸爸赶了上来,见我垂头丧气的样子,关切地问:“怎么了?我丧气地说:“好累啊!爬不动了!看来今天是到不了山顶了。”爸爸一听这消极的话,皱起了眉头,严肃地看着我说:“无论做什么事,都不能轻言放弃,不要放弃自己的信念,该放弃的是自己的杂念。这是从古至今都不变的金科玉律,只有坚持到底,才能看到无限的风光!”
爸爸的一席话鼓舞了我的士气,使我忽然浑身好像迸发出使不完,用不尽的劲,埋头前进。慢慢地接近山顶了,我的脑海里想着:““空山不见人,但闻人语响。返景入深林,复照青苔上。”山路陡峭极了。经过最后拼搏,我们终于登上了清源山的山顶了。
站在清源山顶,心旷神怡,小鸟高声唱着欢哥,仿佛在说:“恭喜你到达了山顶!”阳光穿过树枝星星点点地撒在地面了,斑斑驳驳地,像铺了一层碎金。极目远眺,家乡泉州的风光尽收眼底:东西古塔像一个守望者饱经沧桑看着来来往往的人们,洛阳桥像一条巨龙横卧在洛阳江上,高楼大厦变成了侏儒,汽车变成了小昆虫……,真是无限风光在险峰啊!
“不要放弃自己的信念”这句话我将铭刻在心直到永远!
Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
成功是每个人都渴慕的,但并不是每个人都能做到的。我认为一个人成功的基础,那就是坚持!只有坚持住,成功才能来临。在小学的时候,做事总是失败的我又碰到了一件倒霉事——1000米长跑。对于你,你可能觉得不就是跑步吗,小菜一碟!可我那时是全年级最矮,腿最短,最瘦小的。
跑步,我总是班中老末。那时我也很胆怯,不敢在众人面前说一句话,哪怕抬起头看着别人也会脸红。更别提在全校面前像乌龟一样与兔子赛跑!多丢人,多尴尬呀!我想放弃,但我又不甘心,为什么我总是失败,总是被人讥笑的对象。不,我不要,我要改变这个事实。于是我握紧拳头,咬紧牙,挺起胸在跑道上眺望,眼神中充满着自信,坚定。经过我一个多星期的练习,我的水平已经有了明显的提高。此时比赛已经来临了,我作为选手站在跑道上,挑战开始了!“预备,跑。”随着裁判的一声令下,各个选手像箭一样冲了出去,我也一样。因为身高原因,我跑了一圈后,已经落下了,成为了最后一名。我听着同学们的呐喊声,我的心里开始斗争了起来:“加油呀,跑呀,你还有机会,为什么要放弃?”“不,你看看你,多不适合跑步呀!再说了,努力了也没有结果,最后你还是老末的,何必折磨自己呀!”“不,你能成功的,坚持下来。一个多星期的练习都做了,还怕这一次吗?跑吧,跑出你的真实水平!”
不,我不要放弃,我要坚持,我要坚持。一直低着头的我抬起了头,握紧拳头,坚定的迈开了步子。我慢慢追上他们,我开始反超了,一个,两个,三个六个。只剩下一个了,我要成为冠军了,加油吧!但由于刚才的反超,使我的体力消耗了许多,跑不动了,我像跑在棉花一般的跑道上,双腿好像灌满了铅。坚持住,你能成功的,马上冲刺了,坚持住,我使劲迈开步子,追上了,追上了!我成功了,我终于成功了!成功之路充满艰辛,坎坷,困难,但我相信只要你能够坚持住,一如既往,这些问题阻碍不了你的前进的步伐,坚持住!
俗话说:“世上无难事,只怕有心人。”这句话就是告诉我们,只有坚持才能胜利。
古往今来,许许多多的名人都是依靠坚持而取得胜利的。司马迁之所以能取得成功,所靠的就是坚持。他受到宫刑的屈辱,但他没有一蹶不振,而是坚持着创作一部伟大的著作——《史记》,让后世得到了宝贵的精神财富;鲁滨逊在海上航行时航船失事,流落在一个荒岛上。没有人陪他,寂寞孤独,恶劣的条件让他无法生存。但他却用自己坚持不懈的精神在岛上生活了28年,使自己的生命没有白白浪费;当我们的探险队员要登上地球之颠时,氧气不足,黑夜到来,气候寒冷成了他们的三道难关。当他们爬到“第二台阶”时,陡峭的岩壁更是危险,但他们没有放弃,而是凭着自己的精神毅然登上了顶峰,造就了人类的奇迹。而这更能说明坚持精神的可贵呀!
在我上五年级时,妈妈提出来要让我跳级上初中,我当时并不知道跳级的辛苦,又因为妈妈许诺,只要我上了初中就买电脑的诱惑,我愉快的答应了。可是在学习六年级的课程中,我发现了好多麻烦:课程虽然简单,但是我一个人同时学习两个年级的课程,压力太大了,不仅六年级的没学好,五年级的课也拉了下来。我很难过,想过要放弃。当我告诉妈妈我办不到时,妈妈鼓励我,叫我坚持下去,重是自信。于是,我又开始努力起来,最终我顺利的考上了中学,妈妈说,这就是坚持的胜利。
水滴石穿,绳锯木断”,这个道理我们每个人都懂得,然而为什么对石头来说微不足道的水能把它滴穿?柔软的绳子能把硬梆梆的木头锯断?说透了,这还是坚持。一滴水的力量是微不足道的,然而许多滴的水坚持不断地冲击石头,就能形成巨大的力量,最终把石头冲穿。同样道理,绳子才能把木锯断。我们从小就应该培养这坚持的精神,因为唯有坚持,我们才能在实践中成长,在实践中学习,在实践中完善自我,在实践中磨练自我。相信天下所有在坚持不懈、努力奋斗的人,终将会实现自己的梦想!
