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.
现在已经开学一周的时间了,我们也正式的成为一名五年级学生了,已经是学校里最高年级的学生了,而且我们马上就要毕业升入初中了,所以我们现在更应该努力学习,为初中的学习打下良好的基础!
新学期变化非常大,我们的数学老师、综合老师、体育老师、音乐老师、心理老师都换了,而且我们的教室也调到了四楼,教室里的桌椅也都换成全新的了,我也感到老师们对我们都更加严格了,学习任务也更难、更重了一些。这无疑对我们来说是新的挑战。我们现在课堂上同学们都比较听讲,比以前的课堂更守纪律了,而且现在我们班的同学完成作业情况也变好了,没带或没做作业的.也少了很多。由此可以看出大家对学习更重视了,也更认真了。我们现在身上的担子很重,所以,大家都要在学习上下功夫了,我们以后一定要上课认真听讲,不做小动作,不乱说话,对于老师布置的作业也要认真完成上交优秀作文 ,我相信同学们一定能够做到这几点事项的!
我们以后一定要认真学习,这样才能在毕业之际考出一个自己满意的好成绩!!
亲爱的家长朋友:
周末好!
转眼间上课一周整了,本学期在班级管理上,我沿用了去年的管理方法,同时增加了新的尝试。相信孩子们都与你们有过交流。
周一那天没有上课,上午发新书、全班投票组长人选,中午涵校、小小、昱松加班统计票数。下午一上课,十个组长名单就产生了,他们分别是:小小、天睿、意超、涵校、子悦、楚岩、西川、昱松、昕妤、欣贝。这些孩子当选都在我意料之中,也是众望所归。今年的组长任务繁重,不仅要身先垂范,还要带领组员争先创优。组长选组员,并安排组员座位是今年新创。所以周一下午是我见过的班级里气氛最凝重的一个下午,全班都屏息凝神等待组长的垂帘。选到的长舒一口气,还未选上的咧嘴皱眉、提心吊胆。可见,孩子们都有强烈的归属感,这真是件好事。
本学期的座位将实行大循环,第一周由组长定本组队员座位,每周二班会课往后、往左移动。这样每个人都会轮到任何一个位置上。但也有例外,如果你在本组表现不好,组长和全体组员商量后可以限制你的轮换权。所以,请珍惜你在每组的权利。
本学期的各司其职更加详细化,76位同学共有近90个岗位,部分同学身兼几职。具体分配已由天睿妈帮忙打印贴在教室里了。许多孩子常忘记自己的职责,一周都未做一次,任务虽简单,可简单的事天天做就不简单。希望从各司其职中能培养出孩子们持之以恒的'性格。
还有很多奖惩制度在这就不一一赘述了,班会课时都和孩子们达成了一致。总之一句话,不管你的昨天怎样,只要本学期你勤学上进,就有机会获得奖励,就有机会为本组争光。
最后得说说学习问题。五年级了,如果不努力,成绩上两级分化将会更加严重。如果你不想让孩子落后,请家长首先做出努力,你的表率将直接影响孩子。其次再聪明的孩子也要懂得上课认真听讲以及认真完成作业的重要性。家长有没有发现,孩子作业错的多,考试必然错的多。不要再找粗心的借口了,粗心就是知识点没掌握。语文反复强调课外阅读,上次语文课也与孩子们交流过,不爱看书的孩子,家长不妨从订杂志开始,一月一本两本,杂志里的文字短小精悍,配图精美,内容多样,或许就是开启孩子阅读的金钥匙。
今天就谈这些,附上开学来的一些照片。
祝大家快乐幸福!
在演讲中讲了一个非常感人的故事。故事是讲在一次奥运会中,黑人第一次加入,只有一个黑人队员跑马拉松,遭到许多白人的.歧视。比赛开始了,这位黑人速度飞快,一会儿就遥遥领先于白人,这一幕把白人队员看呆了,可就在这时,这位黑人猛人倒下!因为来时的劳累,令他顿时眼前一黑,腿上豁然割出一条十几公分长的口子,血不断往外涌,医护人员上前赶紧包扎,正要把他送回医护室时,他拒绝了,他说:“为了祖国,我要坚持。”虽然他没有获得奖牌,但是他热爱祖国和坚持不懈的精神,永远屹立在人们的心中。
看了这个故事,我想:这位运动员受了这么大的磨难,都永不放弃他的使命,我只是没考上奥赛班,有什么理由垂头丧气,放弃自己的目标呢?
我一定要好好学习,永不放弃,为中华之崛起而读书。
寒假结束了,迎来的将是有一个学期的学校生活。
开学后的第一周学校生活结束了,让我总结一下这一周发生的事吧。
最令我高兴的事是能见到好久不见的同学们。开学第一天时,大家一个月未见的心情终于释放。同学们一个个热情地打招呼,互相说笑,畅叙假期的有趣生活,整个教室里充满了温暖、快乐、和谐的美好气氛。
体育课也开始玩扔沙包。我作为躲沙包的一员,当然要竭力帮助队友。我做到了这一点。四局下来,我救了5个队友。我反应也很快,丢沙包的同学想打中我没那么容易。四节体育课,我只被打下去过一次。我不光躲的时候快,丢沙包的效率也很高。有时轮到我丢沙包,结果我扔了四次,打下去了四个人。
我们还进行了座位调换。这一次调换位置,一组与二组换优秀作文 专注写作 ,三组与四组换。其他没有什么大的变动。刘昭赛做到了第五排上,离开了班里最特别的座位:VIP专座。我高兴的是,我被调到三组后,到了中间位置,再也不用怕老师写字太靠左边或者右边了。
这就开学第一周发生的趣闻,后续的学校生活值得期待!
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.
若一个人生在正确的时间却没有超凡的能力,那么就是一声叹息;而若一个人生在错误的时间却有着超凡的能力,那注定是一场悲剧。然而不幸的是,孔子恰恰属于后者。师承老子的他,并没有将老子的无为而治的道家思想传承下去,而是开辟了儒家的先河。一腔热血的他得到了鲁君的赏识,于是他终于一展抱负。哪知好景不长,因为他隳三都的建议被三桓驱逐出了鲁国。自此便开始了他多年的'与命运抗争的颠沛流离之旅。
在卫君与南子的邀请下,孔子与他的一干弟子来到了卫国。卫君许诺,愿给孔子开辟一处学堂并提供6万石粟米。我本以为孔子终于扼住了命运的咽喉,峰回路转,谁知命运跟孔子开了一个无情的玩笑。卫国乃卫国皇后南子当权,太子无法执政,卫国必定内乱。而孔子不愿在乱国与危国里出仕,没有办法,孔子只好继续周游列国,宣经传道。
由于孔子的仁学思想与当时的时代格格不入,所以各地的君主十分厌恶孔子的授学,甚至驱逐他离开领地。到了最后,连老百姓也认为跟着孔子四处游历,还不如在家种田。孔子接连受到如此多的打击,但并没有意志消沉,反而更加坚定了要宣传儒家思想的信念。
鲁国因为少了孔子的管理,很快被晋国兵临城下,而鲁国兵无良将,只好请孔子的弟子冉求回国作战。此时的孔子并没有因为当年被鲁国驱逐而记恨,而是凭一颗赤诚的爱国之心,同意了冉求回去助战。冉求很快打败了晋国的军队。领功受赏时,冉求推辞了汶上三城的封赏,只求能将恩师请回鲁国。三桓与鲁君终于被孔子的执着感动,将孔子请了回来。
终于孔子在这场与命运的拉锯战中取得了胜利。在进入鲁国前,他对着鲁国行了一个大礼。在那匍匐的虔诚的身躯中,在那"我终于回来了"的感叹声中,孔子的所作所为在我脑海中闪过,我不禁感叹:悲哉,孔子!壮哉,孔子!
