Brief introduction: Amir is the son of the famous merchant in Afghanistan. There are two servants in his house, Ali and his son Hassan. Amir plays with Hassan all the time in his childhood. Hassan is Hazara, while Amir is Pashtuns. Hazara is discriminated against by Pashtuns. So although Hassan believes that Amir is his friend, Amir does not agree. Amir tricks Hassan sometimes but Hassan never gets angry. Things go peacefully, until one night Amir sees three boys hit Hassan to the ground. Instead of help Hassan, Amir runs away. From that day on, Amir does not know how to face Hassan. In order not to be regretted every second, Amir finally makes Hassan and Ali leave his home. Just after that, Russian forces Amir’s country. Amir and his father have to move to America.
Comments: This book makes me remember my childhood. The first part of the book is only about some little things in Amir’s childhood. The warm and happy time he has with Hassan. They climb tree and hills, play games and tell stories. I am extremely upset to see Hassan leave. Amir thinks he hurts everyone, Hassan, Ali and his Baba. But the one he hurts most deeply is his own. Hassan leave is a wound in Amir’s heart, and it won’t recover forever. This stuff makes Amir hate the life in Afghanistan, because all the disgusting memories are at here. He always hide, hide himself deeply in the books, in his stories. Afghanistan is a country full of violence, Amir can’t live happily in this environment, his father is a true Afghanistan man, and he has force. But Amir doesn’t. Amir is a light boy who only like literary. He is different from other kids, he need a person to protect. He wants his father’s care and love, but his father hide his love deeply in heart, which makes Amir always feel unneeded. Maybe the true reason of the hurt around Amir is his father.
Digests:
My cheeks burned and guilt coursed through me, the guilt of indulging myself at the expense of his ulcer, his black fingernails and aching wrists. But I would stand my ground, I decided.
I blinked my heart quickening. She had thick black eyebrows that touched in the middle like the arched wings of a flying bird, and the gracefully hooked nose of a princess from old Persia-maybe that of Tahmineh.
They fell from the sky like shooting stars with brilliant, rippling tails, showering the neighborhoods below with prizes for the kite runners.
It just appeared, this other face, for a fraction of a moment, long enough to leave me with the unsettling feeling that maybe I’d seen it someplace before. Then Hassan blinked and it was just him again. Just Hassan.

Brief introduction: Amir becomes a popular writer. He meets a girl named Soraya in USA. They fall in love and get married. But they can’t have babies. His father died because of the illness. One of his father’s old friends calls him and invites Amir to his house. He tells the story over 20 years about Hassan and his family. He tells Amir that Hassan and his wife were killed by Taliban and he
asks Amir to find Hassan’s son, Sohrab. After a hard and dangerous trip with Talib, Amir does find Sohrab and wins his trust. But in order to get the visa to USA, Amir asks Sohrab to stay in the orphan for a year while Amir promised Sohrab before never send him to there. Sohrab try to kill himself because of this. Although he is overcome then, he refuses to say a word for a long time. Amir takes him back to USA and treats him good, waiting for his forgiveness. Then a kite competition held and Amir sees Sohrab’s smile when he wins. Amir sees the hope.
Comments: I can’t explain whether it is a happy or tragic ending. But I can say that Sohrab will get better and be a normal boy. Amir is hard-working. He cares about Hassan’s things. And he is always regretful for kicking Hassan out of his home. He thinks that Hassan died because of his action. He feels shamed. But he is a real human who has the sickness of humanity. That is why he would refuse to find Sohrab at the beginning and that’s why he asks Sohrab to go to orphan after promised not to. Certainly he does wrong things but in another way he does things anybody would choose to do. This book is not only about family and friends, is also about a kind of target or force, to help you run on whether if life is easy or hard.

This is a hot and beautiful love story, the heroine Margaret beautiful, clever and kind, although prostitution, but still maintained a pure and noble soul. She was passionate and hopeful to pursue a real love life, and when this hope was disillusioned, she was willing to sacrifice herself to become a man.
A prostitute and a very good young man love each other, and they use all their power to love each other. But they can not save their love, not to want the happiness. Deep will eventually become an indelible status for gully love, how many people love can transcend everything eventually defeated in the match with reality. This book is a realistic fairy tale, with a beautiful vision, a bright hope, but cruel to the social nature of social standards out of apathy.
I sympathize with Margaret, but I admire her more. While Armand's depravity in higher education, Margaret, a prostitute, was constantly sublimated. A weakness of social system underlying women are hard to find new ways to change the fate, she had to use the body in exchange for money to maintain and Armand poor love, nobody has the power to accuse her lowly, on the contrary Margaret bones is pure pain ".
In the end she was unable to be with her beloved Armand, a tragic death. But she never regretted for her short life. She fell in love with a person, a person who brightens her life and gives her confidence and hope. With the love of the tea flower girl, although still in the flower pattern years of death, but has already got a person's sincere love. No matter how stumbling on the road of love, she never lost her dignity.
After reading "the tea flower girl" I really appreciate the shock force that this world famous book brings, my heart is still trembling for a long time after reading. I don't know how many people have shed tears of sympathy and sadness for hundreds of years, but it really makes me feel sad and sympathetic for a long time.
Dumas's "La Traviata" is a masterpiece. In it, the love of Armand and the camellia is the theme. They love each other, but they do not get the sympathy of the world, but they have been treated with a lot of unequal treatment. It is normal that no one is willing to let his son marry a prostitute, the camellia is a prostitute, and she sells her youth for food. This point in this line, she and other women not what were, but she is different from other women, she has a clever mind, she read many books, know a lot of things, she has her own thoughts and ideas, is a know astronomical knowledge of geography is not the sort of woman, only know how to use the appearance to attract a man prostitute, she will get so many upper class men love and loved this is why.
Undoubtedly, this is a tragic tragic, touch one deeply in the heart, people sympathize, beautiful love, especially in the middle of the nineteenth Century bourgeois society early in the society the fickleness of the world, naked money relations, more let a person greatly.
I am deeply sad and sad for the tea flower girl.
BOOK REPORT_Oliver Twist
Charles Dickens is one of the most famous novelists of the Victorian Age. When Charles Dickens was young, his father was put into prison. During this time, Dickens was living by himself and working in the underground cell of a shoe blacking factory. Maybe it is because this period of experience that makes Charles Dickens’s works are more focused on the living condition of the poor. In many of his novels, Dickens showed his sympathy for the poor. Just like this book-Oliver Twist in which Charles Dickens described the miserable life of the poor children and exposed the seedy side of the society at that time.
Oliver Twist is one of Charles Dickens' most popular stories. Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse in 1930s. Later, he was sent to a Coffin shop as an apprentice. As he couldn’t endure the oppression from his boss, he fled to London. However, on the way to London, he was cheated into the haunt of thieves and trained to be a thief. On one occasion, he was taken in by a rich man—Mr. Brownlow. But unfortunately, he was framed and entrapped into the haunt of thieves again. But Oliver still believes that there are hopes in his life. Finally, Nancy, a kind-hearted woman pickpocket, rescued Oliver from dangers despite the threat of the thief-in-chief and told Brownlow that actually Oliver is his good friend’s son. Nancy was killed at the end of the story, but the police surround the haunt of thieves immediately and Oliver reunited with his family members.
Of the characters in this story, Oliver, Nancy and Miss Ross represent the goodness that they are born in suffering, grow in dark world, but still keep a heart ofgold. None of the hardships can through them into the hell. Oliver is a brave and strong child that he suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. But no matter how tough his life is he never gives up his belief. What’s more, in Oliver Twist, morality and nobility are always black-and-white issues. Just like Monks, who was a greedy, ruthless, shameless person, represents the black, Olive can represents the white. But Nancy, a thief who has done something bad, finally been influenced by Oliver and decided to help Oliver. This gives us the implication that the boundary between virtue and vice is not always so distinct.
Charles Dickens praised ideal human nature and interpersonal relationships and he hoped to use his pen to express his ideals in that the reality is very cruel. So, through this novel, Dickens criticized the seedy side of the capitalist society at that time and expressed his deep sympathy about the bottom class who lived in a miserable life. In this way the people could realize the social reality and consider more about their behavior. But on the other hand, Dickens shows his wish through this novel that people should firm their belief no matter what they are suffering about and evil can never prevail over good.
Uncaring or unsympathizing parents are shown throughout this story to be an element of destructive relationships. Because Heathcliff gained all the attention from Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley became disassociated from his father. This separation continued until after Mr. Earnshaw had died.Another example is between Hindley and Hareton. Hindley became such a drunk and a gambler that he could not properly care for young Hareton. This led to a separation between Hareton and his father as well. One primary example of an uncaring parent is shown between Heathcliff and his son Linton.Heathcliff did not even want his son for anything except enacting a part of his revenge. This is shown by Linton's fear of Heathcliff and Heathcliff's enmity toward his son. Linton even says "... my father threatened me, and I dread him - I dread him!" to express his feeling about Heathcliff.The hostility and separation between father and son in this book shows that uncaring parents can cause serious damage in relationships with their children.
This element of destructive behavior may stem from an unhappy marriage in which the husbands or wives don't know each other. This had happened between Isabella and Heathcliff. Isabella did not really know Heathcliff when she married him, but after she had married him she saw that Heathcliff was not a gentleman at all. To declare her feelings she wrote "Is Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil? I shan't tell my reasons for making this inquiry; but I beseech you to explain, if you can, what I have married ...". Another example of this is when Catherine married Edgar Linton. Although she had been happy at the beginning of the marriage, she thought having parties all the time was going to be fun. Yet, after a while, she became bored. She also realized that she loved Heathcliff more than Edgar and would always love Heathcliff.This enlightenment created separation between Edgar and Catherine during the final hours of Cathy's life. An additional marriage which was made that was doomed was the one between Catherine and Linton. Because this was a forced marriage, Cathy had not yet learned all she could about Linton.Because she did not know until after the marriage that Linton was selfish and inconsiderate, she became distressed and grew isolated in the house.These three failed marriages described in this novel show that knowing the person you will marry is very important.While these marriages took place, jealousy also took a hold in some relationships. One example of this is when Mr. Earnshaw starts to favor Heathcliff over his own son, Hindley. Because of this, Hindley becomes jealous of young Heathcliff and sets out to make Heathcliff's life a nightmare. Hindley's jealousy becomes evident when he says ,"... be damned you beggarly interloper! and wheedle my father out of all he has; only afterwards show him what you are, imp of Satan.". Jealousy was also found very notably in the relationship between Heathcliff and Edgar Linton.
狗是一种很可爱的动物,乖巧,忠诚,很讨人喜欢。
狗的种类很多,狗的头一般是比较尖的,两只眼睛炯炯有神,鼻子黑乎乎的,长舌头,天热时一般会伸出舌头来散热。狗的耳朵很大,走路时一扇一扇的,好像在扇扇子。狗的尾巴很短,一般是卷着的。狗的奔跑速度很快,往往能给侦破工作节省很多时间。
狗是一种家畜,嗅觉异常灵敏,甚至可以说,离他是十几米远的`食物,它不用看,凭闻就能找到。办公人员常常利用狗的这一特点来进行侦察、搜捕之类的活动。狗的听觉也绝不亚于任何一种哺乳动物。在夜深人静的夜晚,听到一丁点儿动静,就会“汪汪”大叫。狗的生活场所很随便,往往只要一块暖和点儿的布就行。有是为主人守一晚上门,在家门口也能睡着。狗的食物一般是家常便饭,当狗还是比较喜欢吃肉,一有肉吃,哪怕只是根骨头,也会高兴的活蹦乱跳,活像中了五百万彩票似的。
狗是一种很忠诚的动物,但时常有一些人把狗当作是卑鄙下流的象征,我想这是一种对狗的人格的侮辱。狗,可以称得上是世界上对主人最忠诚的动物。发生火灾、地震时,狗往往会先救主人正是因为狗的这种无比的忠诚,许多人才养狗来看门。
狗一般一年一产,每次大约五、六胎。刚产下小崽后,母狗只允许主人来看。如果是外人,母狗就是拼了命,也会保护自己的儿女的。正是因为狗的种种特征,才会受到广大人民的热烈欢迎,广泛应用于看门、侦察、捕猎等活动中。
"La Traviata" is the most successful Dumas pen works. It tells the story of a dirty whore in the eyes of the world with a romantic, inexperienced youth poignant love story.
The theme of "love" is an indispensable part of literary creation. Depicted in Dumas's love and will not feel embarrassed, shy, and I read his description in, see is sincere and pure love.
I was moved by the image of the heroine, Margaret. The author was not afraid of her prostitutes habits: loved luxury, dissolute life, often binge drinking. It is the real image that makes me feel the truth of the story and the delicacy of the emotion. On the other hand, the author goes deep into the inner world of the character. The life of merry is a reflection of Margaret's abandonment of life and the reality of ambition. Similarly, Margaret also has some simple things. She pursues this sincere love, is willing to sacrifice herself, abandon the luxurious life, and also with the beloved. Everywhere for Valentine's Valentine's sake, do not want to spend a penny, so she sold her carriage, jewelry, shawls. In the end, even for the future of the lover and for the marriage of the beloved sister, give up the happiness that he has already got. You say that this woman is not worthy of love?
"In a Zhang Yan hues oval, inlaid with two black eyes, like painting Daimei - curved, general: this pair of eyes covered in thick eyelashes, when the eyelash falls, red cheeks seemed to cast a shadow on the nose, delicate, graceful, full of aura, nose a little outward open mouth: well proportioned, soft lips enlight gracefully, then revealing a white teeth, a layer of hair and skin colour, like people without hands touched the peach." this is the same sweater Dumas description of the Margaret trade, meticulous, clear and vivid. She seemed pretty face just act on paper, want to let people enjoy a.
In the article there is such a scene: Margaret is an alcoholic, put his body down, pain, heartache Armand Margaret, hold her hand, put it on his lips, two drops for a long time could not stop the tears dripping wet her hand. Armand loved tears and wept for Margaret. She didn't care for her tears. Armand didn't retain his feelings to express his feelings. Margaret was so touched by the fact that his work was so successful through the description of the task and the portrait of love.
Such a sincere, lovely woman, the last fate is miserable: soon after leaving her lover, she dies due to pain. When they die, they rush to collect accounts and interest immediately, and rush to auction her articles.
Margaret's red and purple, behind but very lonely.
