Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character, a small, plain-faced, intelligent and honest English orphan.

Partly autobiographical, the novel abounds with social criticism and sinister gothic elements.
Little Prince
This is a fairytale whose distribution volume is only second to The Bible. It’s been translated to versions of many other languages. And I gather there must be something special, something really great about it. It’s this conviction that drove me to read it at the first beginning. Well, with due respect to the author, I failed to see how this fairytale be worthy of our attention, despite the fact that many readers claimed this book to be designed for adults.
Anyway, as a well-acknowledged book, it must possess unique feature to maintain it’s position. And it’s reputation and popularity will by no means be destroyed by what an unknown man says. I will talk about the main contents of the book, and the inspiration it renders as usual.
This book mainly tells us the experience of a prince from a tiny planet, who traveled to many other planets and finally came to the earth and met the pilot in a desert. The prince and the pilot became good friends, and the pilot gradually got to know the feeling and experience of his friend. Before he came to the earth, little prince had been to other 6 little planets where he made acquaintance with some strange people. The first man he met was a king on a little planet, yet he claimed to be the king of the space and ridiculously justified his unshakable governance over all. The second person was a man of vanity, who enjoyed compliments of any form without considering whether it’s sincere or not. The third person was an alcoholic who tried to forget the fact that he’s addicted to acohol by drinking like a fish. The fourth person was an abosolute money-oriented businessman, who cared nothing but his fortune. Next came the lamp-lighter who performed his duty blindly. The last one was a geographer who knew too much about geography to solve a real problem related to it. These six people each represented one kind of person like us. The author satirized people’s conceit, emptiness, fakeness, innocence and blindness through the tone of a child.
I see eye to eye with the author in that the cause of people’s loneliness can be concluded to the negligence of the bonds that connects them. People are supposed to care about each other, cherish what’s really important for them, and be grateful for the happiness that they’ve gained. We all believe knowledge and experience enable us to see clearly and make right judgements all the time. But we may sometimes lose the right to speak straighforwardly, think creatively or love courageously resulting from what we’ve experienced. That why in our middle school textbooks, it’s the little kid that breaks the illusion of the emperor by saying ”but mum, he ain’t were anything”.
When I was a child, I was definitely a good boy who went home on time after school and did his homework and never tried anything without mom’s permission. And now I am a grown-up, and still I am a good man, at least, that’s what I heard. Sometimes when I was lonely and I began to think about my childhood, then all the happiness and care-free
life came back to me as it were yesterday. Kids that once accompanied me during my childhood now become fathers and mothers of their kids and I myself am a child no more. Thinking about all these things have made me moody. There’re changes happening in our lives whether we are happy about it or not.
People told me life is a journey which will never stop once it’s started. What’s left behind are happiness and sorrow, pride and shame, success and regret. There’s good old time to reminisce and there’s sad hours that reminds us of the pain. Your feeling makes them real, and you know you lived.
I want to conclude by saying some positive words that each yestersday used to be today, and each today is the future of yesterday, so making the most of today is the best way to cherish your lives. Our mortal beings are doomed to die. It’s not sad, instead, death it’s just a process of our lives. After all, we’ve lived our lives and it’s what we do and how we think that determine who we are.
(when you look at the above passages, don’t regard it as a composition or an article, because if you do, you will be puzzled at the structure. It’s just a few words that come to my mind at the moment and I type them.
Have a nice day!
Sense and Sensibility was the first Jane Austen published. Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Whereas the former is a sensible,, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinors hand, Marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister.

《雨中的树》,演绎了这样一个人,一位一心一意服务百姓、勤政廉政、不辞辛劳不畏危险坚守在抗洪救灾最前线的乡镇党委书记,一位看能力、看创新、更看做人,不让老实人吃亏的组织部部长——李林森。
撇开这部片子的原型四川省万源市委常委、组织部长李林森的真实故事不谈,原因有二,其一,个人认为今日于我泱泱大国而言,模范人物不死不残不足以被重视;其二,个人认为今日于我党政上上下下而言,模范一旦被拉出来宣传,必将其完美化、神圣化,为此大搞虚假化。所以,对这部影片,我抛却原型和其真实性与否不做品评论足。我说这部片子还算好片子,原因有这几点。
一、这部片子看似真实。就影片内容而言,没有过于将李林森神话、圣人化,赞美得让人去怀疑这样的人存在与否。片中的李林森虽然也批了武彩霞衣,但是终究花费不少笔墨来证明他是一个凡人,没有将其列在神坛。最大的证明就是他“玩砍价”,买鞋子要砍价、打车要砍价,就是这样一个“小抠”,以一种虚贬低实褒奖的方式讴歌了他的廉洁。这部片子内容并不丰富,李林森的政绩也并不斐然,也没让李林森成天标榜似地喊着“为人民服务,一切为人民”的口号,但就这一点,让观众多少觉得故事是可信的,这样一个人物是存在的。神于天,圣于地,平凡人才在人间。作为乡镇长,在洪水泛滥吞噬生命的时刻能够以老百姓的安危为己任,亲自指挥、行动在第一线,这很难得。作为一个组织部部长,他能够深入基层去考察干部,而不是人云亦云,偏信偏听,为了某种利益偏心,这很难得。他能在收到两只装满人民币的茶叶桶后客观评价送茶叶的刘二奎“他不掩饰自己,官场的老油条不这样”。证明他对官场、对“官场的老油条”是了解的,他不是什么也不懂,不食人间烟火似的幼稚,但是他立场坚定,能够秉着良心办点不愧于心的事,这很难得,也让人为其叫好。
二、真情让人感动。囊括了亲情(父子情、兄妹情、夫妻情、友情,多重真实的感情着实让人感动。也许一切政绩都是虚的,职位再高也不见得让人觉得实实在在、踏踏实实,但我想,无论影片中,还是现实生活里,李林森得病后,周围亲人、朋友的感情是真实的。当下,说一个官员多勤政廉洁,很多人都会怀疑,我也觉得可能仅仅是歌功颂德似的为在位者溜须拍马,但是说一个人拥有一些真挚的亲情、友情,这一点我毫不怀疑,很多人也会愿意相信。博得观众眼泪的,不是李林森干了多少让人流眼泪的好事,而是面对死亡,父与子、夫与妻、朋友与朋友之间的那份情让人感动。有了这份感情的宣扬才使得故事变得感人生动。
三、影片倒出了一些现实问题。虽然主旋律是在讴歌一枝莲花,但是莲花的高洁却是在一滩污泥的衬托下得以显现的。刘二奎,我觉得这个人物更加让观众信服,他显得更加真实。他醉酒后所发表的一席言论是很多人,很多个公职人员的肺腑之言。在乡镇,党委书记就是个土皇帝。这句话很现实。血管里流动的血液都是鲜红色的,但是弯弯肠子里涌动的是什么?他也曾雄心壮志,也曾想着为百姓干点实事,也曾获得无数荣誉,但是在大的潮流里,他的雄心壮志和脚踏实地为老百姓干事的热诚是奢侈品。我始终
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.
