the tale of two cities is a historical story, one of dickens’ long fictions.the background to the novel is the revolution of france .it portrayed a brutal and bloody story , but it also contained love and friendship.

in the novel, dickens sarcastically described a typical cruel nobleman—marquis of evermonde . when he was young he and his brother stole a countrywoman by force and killed her family .what’s worse , he used his power to imprison dr manette , a kind and honest man who knew all the things they had done and wanted to disclose their crimes . in order to hide their crimes. marquis of evermonde and his brother threw doctor manette into prison for 18 years . during these 18 years,doctor manette lost his freedom and suffer a great in spirit .

i felt unthinkable that marquis of evermonde and his brother killed people just as easily as they killed chickens. they deprived other people’s freedom as they liked and they thought it was normal and unremarkable. they had never realized that they had done something wrong or something improper. because their nature was cruel and evil, like demons. there is an old saying which means: people who commit too many crimes will kill themselves. after all, there is justice in the world. the demons can’t be rampant forever. because the world will not forgive them. they will pay their lives for their crimes. let’s see the consequence of the marquis,’’he lay there like a stone with a knife pushed into his heart.” i think it was just what he ought to gain and it is a real exciting scene.

the marquis’ death was just the beginning of people’s resistance to the nobleman. gradually more and more people joined in the revolution. one after another nobleman were sentenced to death and their heads were cut down . however, some innocent people were implicated in the revolution. charles darney was one of them he was the nephew of marquis of evermonde. to the opposite of his uncle, darney was a kind and independent young man.

dickens spoke highly of kindness mercy and love in the novel too. this is the other thone of the novel when doctor manette was released from prison. it was his daughter lucie who took care of him and helped him return to normal. during this time, dr manette and lucie knew charles darney and sydeny carton, the two young man fell in love with lucie at the same time . at last, lucie married chares darney .dr manette accepted darney as his son-in-law although he knew that darney was the nephew of the man who threw him into prison for18 years. this is the love between father and daughter. and sydeny carton , the very great man ,loved lucie deeply. he promised lucie that he would do everything for her happiness. he did it truely ,he sacrificed himself instead of darney who looked the same as him. this is love for lovers . this is the most wonderful thing in the world. it also reminds us that no matter how no matter when there is true love existing. at the end , lucie, dr manette and darney arrived in england safely.

the tale of two cities is different from other historical fictions. its characters and main plots are fictional under the real background of the revolution of france. the author made the experience of the fictional charactor dr manette as the main clue.the plots are complicated, and they are flexuous and dramatic. the structure is complete and rigorous.

dickens had dear love and hate. he praised those who ought to be praised and attacked those who ought to be attacked. the motivation of the novel maybe just warn the english dominators. but i think we can learn something meaningful from the tale of two cities.

英文版的读后感篇2

usually,we have contact with many world-famous novels,telling the essence of life. the stories of characters” life move us give us a lot of enlightenment.

however,anna sewell”s black beauty is a different one,as its main character is a black,handsome horse called black beauty. sewell has spent 6 years on this book,while she was seriously sick. unfortunately,she died soon after her only book in her whole life was published.

as sewell was crippled and unable to walk since a young age,she by nature had sympathy on the poor animals. therefore,black beauty it is not a fairy tale,but a book which seriously talks the issue of the abuse of animals.

and this story is narrated in the first person as an autobiographical memoir by black beauty himself. in this way,it becomes easier for readers to understand the whole story better and more clearly.

when i begin to read this book,i am absorbed in this book immediately,as if i were the horse,experiencing his life with difficulties and set-backs.

black beauty,who has changed his name for several times during different periods of lifetime,is a handsome horse with a life full of both happiness and suffering. he has been well trained,so he always tried to behave well.

however,then he was sold from one owner to another,he began to realize how tragic his fate is. his life story has moved all the readers deeply.

the author started this story by black beauty describing his memory about his happy childhood,when he was accompanied by his mother and taught to be a good horse. at the age of 2,black beauty witnessed an accident of hunting for a hare,which caused the rider falling from the horse,dead.

later that wounded horse was killed. and at the age of 4,black beauty was old enough to begin the use of saddle,bridle,carriage harness and shoes. then he was sent to birtwick park and named of black beauty by mrs. gordon. birtwick park became his first pleasant home for three years,where he grew strong and met many friends with different characteristics and experiences.

one of his friends was ginger,who was ill-tempered because of a hard life with previous owners. and as a result,ginger often got wild and bit others. sir oliver got a shortened tail because his previous owner thought it was fashionable. also,there was a groom,little joe green.

at first,he was too young to know how to properly how to take care of the hot and tired black beauty after an emergency,making black beauty seriously sick. grieved,joe began to do his best to learn hors care. however,soon,the gorgons had to move because of mrs. gordon”s health,so they sold black beauty and ginger to earlshall park.

in earlshall park,the use of bearing rein made ginger and black beauty painful,so finally ill-tempered ginger rebelled. then she was used as a hunter,but black beauty was much praised because once he saved lady anne. however,his unfortunate life has not changed since then. our poor black beauty got his knees ruined because mr. rubber smith,who was drunk,took black beauty on a dangerous ride and at last killed himself after falling down. as a result,black beauty was sold as a job horse. although,he was arranged by a smart customer to be sold to a gentleman afterwards,he still had a hard life,because the groom stole the oats in his food. tired of the trouble of keeping a horse,the gentleman sold black beauty again,this time,black beauty was lucky to have a kind-hearted new owner;a cab driver in london called jerry. what”s more,jerry”s families were all kind-hearted,which made black beauty happy to bear the hard work of pulling a cab every day. by chance,he met ginger. she was mistreated as a cab horse;in such a great pain that she was longing for death. and soon,it came true. at the same time,jerry became weaker and weaker,and finally he was ill in bed after waiting for two customers on a bitter cold night. after his recovery,jerry was told not to work as s cab driver any more,so black beauty was sold again.

black beauty”s new owner,a corn dealer,was kind to him,but the dealer”s foreman,jakes,often overworked the horse and used the bearing rein. once advertised by a kind lady,jakes was easier on black beauty. however,the dark stables nearly made black beauty blind. after sold to work as a cab horse again,beauty was too old and too weak. once he was exhausted because of the heavy load. saved from being put down by a doctor,beauty found a new owner,a farmer. with full effort,he rejuvenated beauty and sold him to miss ellen and miss blomefield. to beauty”s surprise,he met joe green there. form then on,black beauty began a happy life at his last home.

after reading this book,one may admire black beauty”s strong will,persistence,and loyalty,or feel sympathetic on him and feel happy for him to get a happy ending. however,it needs our deeper thinking,a much deeper thinking. in fact,sewell doesn”t only focus on showing black beauty”s great characteristics. by telling black beauty”s whole life story,she aimed at revealing the hard life of animals at that time and altering us the crime of those who abuse animals.

from beauty”s suffering during his whole life time,we can see the tragic life of animals at that time. some people ran after the so-called fashion blindly. in order to satisfy their own vanity，they ignored animals” great pain. for example,sir oliver”s shortened tail. what the so-called fashion gave animals is great pain rather than a beautiful appearance. some people knew nothing about how to keep animals,and were always making them work all day long. they abused the animals to make as much money as possible until they died. therefore,on the day when the animals died,their holiday was on the way. for example,the poor ginger that died for overwork. though some people kept animals well,their main purpose was to have fun and to show off. they were more abominable. for example,in order to hunt for a hare,the rider killed himself at last and caused the wounded horse”s death. as beauty said,it wasn”t worthwhile,wasn”t it? those people who abuse d animals showed no sympathy or love on the poor animals at all. when they needed animals,they kept animals;when they didn”t need animals,they killed animals ruthlessly. to them,all animals were toys,from which they could make fun,or tools,from which they could make money. and the fate of animals at that time,like horses,was being sold from one owner to another,experiencing different kinds of suffering in the whole life. from the standpoint of animals,it must be terrible to be sold again and again.

let”s see what the result is. sir oliver got great annoyance and discomfort because of its shortened tail. ginger was ill-tempered and bit others often. what”s more,numerous animals died because of over work. what a tragedy！

in fact,the abuse of animals not only happened in the past,but also today,maybe right at this moment,a civilized age. years ago,i got to know that a few girls cut down a cat”s feet,and then threw it on the street,leaving it bleeding to death. and the year before,it was reported that a student from qinghua university,gave black bears sulfate to drink,which gave black bears a great pain. as to the facts that some old or sick animals are abandoned,it has been very common. although some organizations aiming at protecting animals have been set up,the abuse of animals can not be prevented. maybe nowadays the abuse of animals was caused by life pressure,but life pressure can not be an excuse to abuse animals. those people who live under life pressure should find other ways to solve the problem,but not avoid it by hurting animals.

however,if one can treat animals kindly,the result will be different. kind people who love animals,such as mrs. gordon,joe,jerry,get animals” love and respect in return. as they were friendly to horses,horses are friendly to them and would like to do as much work as they can for them,even sacrifice themselves when their owners were in danger.

i am sure,animals and human can become good friends. no animals will do harm to human,if human have not frightened them first. if you would like to try to have a close and friendly touch with animals,whether tigers or dogs,you will find that they are lovely. its true that we are much cleverer than animals,but our intelligence should not act as the tool to dominant animals. in fact,we human and animals have the same feeling,because we are all created by one nature,and share one nature together. therefore,human have no right to abuse them,or kill them. on the contrary,we should protect them,which is our real sacred and glorious obligation.

do not put the "bearing rein" on the animals. it is cruel.

do not always focus on our own happiness. it is selfish.

try to open our eyes to animals that are suffering a hard life.

try to understand the black beauty,and the author.

try to give a hand in ending the abuse of animals.

at last,i want to conclude by a sentence from this book,"there is no religion without love,and people may talk as much as they like about their religion,but if it dose not teach them to be good and kind to other animals as well as humans,it is all a shame"

gulliver’s travel is a fairy tale written by jonathan swift. it’s a very interesting story full of imagination. besides, the description is vivid and appealing, when i read it i feel like i’m traveling with the hero in the story.

jonathan swift was born in ireland, but his parents are english. he has written many books such as a tale of a tub and the battle of books, respectively criticizes and attacks the corruption of religion and prejudice of scholar authority. his drapier’s letters reveals the attempt of england to destroy the economy of ireland. for this reason, english government awarded 300pounds for catching swift. however, nobody in ireland betrayed him. swift died in 1745, and he said in his testament that he would give all his property to the charity.

gulliver’s travels tells a story of captain gulliver’s unique experience. gulliver has a strong desire of traveling around the world since he grew up. however, when he became a captain, he travels not between different countries but between strange places we never imagine.

the first time, his boat encountered a storm and he swan to the shore. when he woke up he found himself surrounded by small men later he realized he had come to the country “liliput”， which was a country of small men. in the country, the people treated him very friendly, they gave him food and drink and wine. he? lived happily and he was nice to them as well. later, the king asked him to help fight the other country blefuscu for a very amusing reason: people there break their eggs at the big end while people in liliput break eggs on the small end. gulliver helped the king win the battle and soon after that he went home.

the second time, he set sail and met a fierce storm again. this time he found a land which was a country named broadingnag. it was a country of giants. you can guess his whereabouts. the huge people treated him as a pet. they put him on show, give speech and do sword drill, till he was tired out. later he was sent to the queen, the queen liked him very much and had him dine with her everyday. but life was not easy for him. nevertheless, something interesting happened. when he wanted to read, he had to climb up on the book and walk from left to right to read a line. imagine that scene i couldn’t help laughing. another story is playing the piano. he had to strike the keys hard with his first.

people comment the book as a satire to england even to the whole europe. in detail, that is, the first experience use the amusing reason of war to criticize the parties and religion of england, the second experience satirizes the boast and conceit of the whole europeans. nevertheless, in my opinion, i only see the vivid portrayal and the interesting imagination. maybe it’s because it’s the first time i read the story and know not so much about the background and situation of the author and his society, but the story really impresses me. i like the exotic experience of gulliver, and i like swifer’s imagination. a masterpiece which can influence generation after generation surely has its reason, maybe for the profound understanding of history, maybe for the description of people’s life. this novel may have something to do with sarcasm, but to me, at least by now, is a pure fantasy and a wonderful fairy tale.

英文版的读后感篇4

jane eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. after we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, jane eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:

we remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.

we remember her pursuit of justice. it's like a companion with the goodness. but still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.

we remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. in her opinion, everyone is the same at the god's feet. though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.

we also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…

when we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.

actually, she wasn't pretty, and of course, the ordinary appearance didn't make others feel good of her, even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. and some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease, so when miss ingram met jane eyre, she seemed quite contemptuous, for that she was obviously much more prettier than 'the plain and ugly governess‘。 but as the little governess had said: 'do you think, because i am poor, obscure, plain, and little, i am soulless and heartless? you think wrong!' this is the idea of equality in jane eyre's mind. god hadn't given her beauty and wealth, but instead, god gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. jane eyre's idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.

in my mind, though a person's beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming, if his or her mind isn't the same beautiful as the appearance, such as beauty cannot last for, when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity, it's not true, they will like the person no more. for a long time, only a person's great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as an everlasting beauty, just as kahill gibran has said, that 'beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’。 i can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can't distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can't distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but as there are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not.

in the hui hss ma guozhong, gulliver met with kindness, honesty and friendship virtue hui hss horse. in the language of hui hss countries did not "lie" and "deceit" this word, they don't know what is "suspect", what is a "no confidence", in their country everything is true, transparent, is a place where people's pursuit and yearning. here, you don't need to consider others speak of true and false, because they don't know what is lying. i want to go to the better place! i hope we can in our social efforts of generations, be like hui from country society!

the novel really paint a picture of gulliver travel, at the same time, let me see the bright side of society and the dark side.

寒假期间我读了《格列佛游记》这本书，仔细阅读着其中有趣、惊险的故事，仿佛真的'把我带入格列佛所游历的世界。

书中的主人公格列佛是个爱好出游的人，他渴望着周游世界，走遍世界的每个角落。也许正是他那无畏的探索精神，才让我们也领略到了这奇特的四个国家吧。

令我印象最深的是“小人国和大人国”了。利立浦特的居民们虽然都是一般人手掌那么大的人，但他们却十分的勤奋和聪明。格列佛为这个国家出了不少力，最后却遭到了朝廷中人的弹劾，被迫离开这个国家。这从某个角度体现了当时英国政府的昏暗等等。在大人国，格列佛又从小矮人的角度仰视人类，讽刺了某些人类的一些不好的习性。

在慧嘶马国中，格列佛结识了具有仁慈、诚实和友谊美德的慧嘶马。在慧嘶国的语言中没有“撒谎”和“欺骗”这样的字眼，他们不懂什么叫“怀疑”、什么是“不信任”，在他们的国度里一切都是真实的、透明的，是人们所追求和向往的地方。在这里，你不需要考虑别人说话的真假，因为他们不知道说谎是什么。我也好向往去那种地方呀!我希望我们的社会能在我们一代代的努力下，成为像慧因国那样的社会!

这部小说真实地描绘出了一幅格列佛出游的图画，同时让我看到了社会上美好的一面与黑暗的一面。

英文版的读后感篇6

?简爱》是一部带有自转色彩的小说，它告诉人们一个人生的真谛。

?简爱》的作者夏洛蒂勃朗特温柔，清纯，喜欢追求一些完美的东西，尽管她家境贫穷，从小失去了母爱，再加上她身材矮小，容貌不出众，但也许就是这样一种灵魂深处的自卑，反映在她的性格上就是一种十分敏感的自尊。她描述的简爱也是一个不美的，矮小的女人，可是她有着极其强烈的自尊心。

简爱生存在一个寄人篱下的环境，从小就承受着与同龄人不一样的待遇，姨妈的嫌弃，表姐的蔑视，表哥的侮辱和狠打也许正是因为这一切，换回了简爱无限的信心和坚强不屈的性格，一种可战胜的内在人格力量她坚定不移地去追求一种光明的，圣洁的，完美的生活。

在罗切斯特的面前，她从不因为自我是一个地位低贱的家庭教师而感到自卑，反而认为他们是平等的。也正因为她的正直，高尚，纯洁，心灵没有受到世俗社会的污染，使得罗切斯特为之震撼，并把她看作了一个能够和自我在精神上平等交谈的人，并且深深爱上了她。

而当他们结婚的那一天，简爱明白了罗切斯特已有妻子时，她觉得自我必须要离开，她虽然讲，我要遵从上帝颁发世人认可的法律，我要坚守住我在清醒时而不是像此刻这样疯狂时所理解的原则。可是从内心讲，更深一层的是简爱意识到自我受到了欺骗，她的自尊心受到了戏弄，因为她深爱着罗切斯特。但简爱做出了一个十分理性的决定。在这样一种感情力量包围之下，在富裕的生活诱惑之下，她依然要坚持自我作为个人的尊严，这是简爱最具有精神魅力的地方。

小说有一个光明结尾--罗切斯特的庄园虽然毁掉了，并且他自我也成了一个残废，但正是这样一个条件，使简爱不再在尊严与爱之间矛盾，而同时获得自我的尊严和真爱。

在当今社会，人们都疯狂地为了金钱和地位而淹没感情。在穷与富之间选择富，而在爱与不爱之间选择不爱。很少有人会像简爱这样为感情为人格抛弃所有，并且义无反顾。《简爱》所展现给我们的正是一种返朴归真，是一种追求全心付出的感情，还有作为一个人应有的尊严。它犹如一杯冰水，净化每一个人的心灵。

the novel tells us that the best human life is human dignity and love,and the ending of the novel is such a kind of life for the heroine. although i think such an outcome is too perfect,even such a superficial marks itself,but i still respect the ideal -- the author of this wonderful life is the dignity and love,after all,in today's society,the people's value = dignity + love this formula to pay to achieve often cannot do without the help of money. people seem crazy to drown love for money and status. between the poor and the rich,choose between rich and poor,choose between love and not love. few people,like jane,abandon everything for love and for personality,and proceed without hesitation. "jane eyre" show to us is a simplified,is a kind of recover the original simplicity is a dedicated pursuit,a feeling,no gain or loss is a simplified feelings,it is like a cup of water,purify every reader's heart,also cause readers,especially female readers.

英文版的读后感篇8

everyone in the world, whether he or she is rich or poor, will encounter a lot of difficulties, even hardships. different people may have different ways to deal with them. after reading the little princess, i am deeply impressed by sarasquo;s way to deal with difficulties. the little princess was written by frances hodgson burnett, a famous novelist and dramatist. sara, the heroine of the novel, was born in a rich family. in order to get a better education, her father took her from india to london so that she could go to the best school. because sara was kind-hearted, generous and most of all—rich, she was loved by everyone. all went well until her father died in an accident.

everything changed completely. she didnsquo;t understand why the teachers and classmates treated her so badly. even the principal who used to be fond of her, made her work 16 hours a day. sarasquo;s miserable life began...

when i finished reading the book, i was shocked by what the unimaginable pain sara had suffered after her fathersquo;s death. she used to be a happy, worriless, and rich princess, but now she was a lonely and poor servant. she had to work very hard without any rest but only had little food. besides she had to endure the unfriendly and even rude ways that her classmates treated her. all teachers and students in the school looked down upon her. the most important fact is that sara had lost the love and care of her parents.

what a mighty pain! if you were sara, could you stand such pain? needless to say， an 11 years old girl, even if it were an adult， he might not put up with it. but to my surprise, sara faced it bravely. despite of the torture of the principal and all those pressures above, she still was optimistic towards life.

by reading this novel, i felt inspired and think much. when we meet such difficulties, what should we do? some people always complain that the fate is unfair to them. some people cansquo;t sustain the hardships and choose to give up. few of them even try to commit suicide because they lack the courage to overcome it. compared with sara—an eleven years old girl who can treat the pressure of life with optimistic spirit, these peoplesquo;s performances are sounded so lamentable. why cansquo;t they make it?

however, what impress me most are her characteristics and the thought of her being a real princess. this real princess does not mean luxury palaces, beautiful clothes and the apple of the otherssquo; eyes, but being kind, generous and having good manners. it is unnecessary for a real princess to be strong in body, but she must be strong in will. sara is a real princess in my heart all the time, whether she was rich and wore beautiful clothes in the classroom or she was cold and hungry in the attic, just because she had the good characters and kind heart.

the story went on. fortunately, a friend of sarasquo;s father found her and told her that her father left a great sum of money to her. i pray and believe that every good person in the world deserve a good result. so does sara.
