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.

I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that.some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The
Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?
The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe
It seemed to be such a coincidence that the night after I finished reading The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, I was to dine in a restaurant distinctly related to the book itself. This restaurant was no other than the famous American-styled “Friday ’s. ” The reason for mentioning this restaurant is quite straightforward to all the gentlemen, ladies and children who have read the novel and enjoyed it, which is the fact that this restaurant was, most likely, named after the American Native in Robinson Crusoe, called Friday. This restaurant offers very exceptional service, for instance when the waitresses are asked to order dishes they kneel rather than stand, which, unlike the other restaurants I have been to, makes it easier for the customers to hear them speak. Moreover, Friday’s friendly services to the customers help them to make better choices when ordering dishes. I remembered when I went to Friday ’s last time; the waitress kindly described the items on the menu with precise details. It turned out that the combo I initially wanted was designed to be shared among a large group, not to be eaten by one person. I think this restaurant shows many commendable features similar to that of Friday. Friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality. I think it was this personality that affected Crusoe and made him say that he loved Friday when Crusoe didn ’t express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife. “When he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show it to let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” This was what Friday did after Crusoe had rescued him from the two savages chasing him. It was easy for me to see why Crusoe had loved Friday. After sometime, Crusoe and Friday were to rescue Friday’s father. When Friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “It would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how Friday kissed him, embraced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced,
sung; and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature. It was a good while before I could make him speak to me.” This is my favourite chapter in the whole book. It is hard to see why Friday is an ex-savage when he can have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz. Crusoe himself. “When he (Friday went to him (Friday’s father, he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father’s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it; then he took his arms and ankles, which were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” Furthermore, Friday’s expression of loyalty in asking Crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything Crusoe ever says or does.
Crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as shown by his account of leaving his family—he never shows any emotions. After a moving lecture from Robinson’s father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition. Careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left in the family. When he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them; he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nearly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead. He had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction. Moreover, after his wife died, Robinson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twenty-eight years. It was on this trip which Robinson Crusoe revisited “His Island ” as he called it. I feel that Robinson ’s indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.
Before had clearly shown the contrast between Crusoe’s and Friday’s personalities, as when Friday, in his joyful reunion with his father, displayed far more emotion toward his family members than Crusoe, whereas Crusoe never mentions missing his family or dreams about the happiness of seeing them again. I think Defore is very successful in introducing Friday as part of the novel, it makes the whole novel seem much more complete and gripping to the reader, as well as proving that Defoe’s ideology of racism is civilized unlike many other Europeans at that time; natives and savages are not worse than others but can perhaps even be more modern and civilized. Those are the reasons of why I like The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe and Friday.
大学和高中的生活英文作文150字【三】
自从进入大学后，发现自己慢慢的在沉沦、在堕落，本以为自己会和别人不同，会抗拒身边的诱惑，会不受身边任何事物的干扰，但越来越发现自己错的离谱。我不仅没有做到还在慢慢向那些东西走去，我发现自己真的.好可笑哦！原来人就应该认清自己不应该总是认为自己能做到，不要总说我认为我会什么什么的，一切都是会变的都是不定的，未来的事又有谁会知道呢！
今天看了胡适先生所写的《赠与今年的大学毕业生》后，我知道我为什么会堕落，因为我总是给自己太多的理由了太多的借口了。胡适先生说堕落的方式很多，但总括起来，约有两大类：第一是容易抛弃学生时代的求知识的***。第二是容易抛弃学生时代的理想的人生的追求。虽然现在我还是处于学生时代但我发现自己好像已经没有了那种求知识的***了，自己现在好像就是一部机器每天除了上课就是上课，似乎好像已经没有什么事做了。好像周围的事物都与我无关似的，学校有什么活动啊 先不说参没参加我有时连知都不知道，呵呵……真的很可笑呢！我想这样的我是可悲的，整天就是这样浑浑噩噩的过，自己都觉得可笑。不知道自己这颗还未完全沉沦的心到底还要沉沦多久，不知道自己是不是能够从那里面走出来。
一路走来，我认为大学的堕落只有两种：一是忙于恋爱而哭费心思，二是忙于睡觉和游戏。反观下自己，不属于第一种，也不完全属于第二种，我是属于那种想学习而且想学有所成的那种，但为什么我迷茫了呢？我想很多当今大学生和我一样，每天都准时上课从不逃课，按时完成老师布置的所有任务，但还是不知道自己到底学到了什么。现在想想，那是因为我们没有明确的目标，我们只是在为了学习而学习。其实，学习和我们的人生一样，一个人要是已经没有了追求，那么就失去了他存活在这个世界的意义了。我们学习要是没了目标，就像一个人没了灵魂……

大学和高中的生活英文作文150字【五】
每个人对大学的认识都有所不同，同样，每个阶段的人对大学的认识也有所不同。而我，在不同的阶段也对大学有不同的认识。小学时，大学是一个梦，多么遥远的事情，上了大学就意味着能找一份好工作，让家人过上幸福的生活。初中时，大学是一种期望，认为能够上大学的人都是非常了不起的人，于是我总是希望能够考上一所好的高中从而更加容易地走进大学。高中时，大学是一份任务，一切为了高考，寒窗苦读12年，就是为了最后一次高考。那一刻，大学越来越近，我也越来越憧憬大学生活了，憧憬那无拘无束的自由的生活。 如今，我已走进了大学校门。然而，大学并不像自己当初想的那么完美。大学毕业就意味着一大批的大学生失业，大学生满街都是，每天还要为各种事情而忙碌着。跟自己想象中的大学生活完全不一样 我的大学没有北大那么悠久的历史，没有清华那么好的教育资源，但所有的一切都不能阻止我奋斗的激情、为梦想追逐的勇气！有人说：理想很丰满，现实很骨感，但是谁知每一个为了理想努力拼搏的人，他的大学远不能用骨干来描述。
犹记得高考后的那晚，我已知道我的成绩不能上一所很有面子的大学，也有过沮丧也有过泪水。面对将要来临的\'赤裸裸的现实，再坚
强的人都无法接受生存之道的打击。短暂的悲伤之后，我重振信心，大学不是在于学校的等级，更重要的是自己是否有一颗不被现实摧败的雄心。很幸运自己进入了合肥学院，来到这里生活学习，相比而言，我的人生也更加丰富。
同学们说大学生活乏味，大学无趣。的确，大学生活缺少了幻想中的激情，远没有想像中的精彩。但我们应该把握机会，因为机会只给有准备的人，机会也爱正在寻找他的人。人生能有多少岁月能让我们虚度啊？珍惜时间，珍惜我们的拥有。把时间花在对自己毫无意义的事上，那是一种悲哀，是一种失败。进入工业大学时，我就对自己的大学生活有了一个总体的规划。
如果说人生是一本书，那么大学生活便是书中最美丽的彩页；如果说人生是一台戏，那么大学生活便是戏中最精彩的一幕;如果说人生是一次从降生到死亡的长途，那么大学生活就是风华正茂的少年，这就是我的大学生活。军训期间，我自愿作为班级负责人，积极为班级同学的生活等事物服务，短暂的半个月使我懂得，和不同的人相处你会学到不一样的精彩。大学就像一个小社会，错综复杂的关系犹如闪烁的霓红灯，让人琢磨不定。只是，见到的和听到的，已经能证明些什么。竞争犹如一只铁鞭，驱赶着我们走向功利之路，无论是朋友，还是恋人，都在这样微妙的关系中扭曲了。不过，让我高兴的是，即使有人费尽心机争名逐利，我仍能找到许多游离在名利之外的朋友，我们都懂得，青春的色彩不应沾染铜臭。夜里，我梦见，携着朋友们的手，奔跑在绿色的田野中，笑靥如阳光般灿烂。
