The Great Gatsby is the work of Francis Scott Fitzgerald, an American poet and dreamer, published in 1925. This time, it is the work of Li Jihong, a talented translator.
In the novel, Gatsby was born in a poor family and fell in love with Daisy when he was young. However, he was unable to marry Daisy because of poverty. The reality made Gatsbys fantasy in his heart disillusioned for the first time. Daisy is a very realistic rich woman, and she immediately married another rich businessman Tom. Later Gatsby became a millionaire by his own efforts and luck. Gatsby was still nostalgic for his former lover after he made his fortune. He just wanted to see the green light at Daisys Wharf and set his home by the sea.
At the beginning of the novel, the author uses a lot of ink to describe Gatsbys scene of entertaining guests and friends in the mansion, as well as his feelings after meeting Daisy again. Although Daisys husband Tom was adamant against it, they were still recklessly sweet. Just as they were about to walk to the _happiness Avenue_, Daisy accidentally hit a passer-by while driving, which resulted in the death of passers-by. The authors use of such dramatic colors is really boastful. Gatsby was willing to give up his life and wealth for daisy. In sharp contrast to this, Daisy and Tom are selfish and indifferent. They deliberately excuse themselves to go away from home and blame Gatsby for all the accidents. Once again, the reality coldly shattered his illusory and almost naive dream.
At first glance, the title of _amazing_ Gatsby, but at the beginning, I had been thinking hard. I just couldnt figure out where he was? Its only after a lot of aftertaste that we have an epiphany.
Gatsby is a great man. His greatness lies in his simple and simple view of love. He thinks that love is the world of two people. Gatsby can live a rich and upper class life from poverty to wealth, but he is not moved by money and fame. All his purposes are only to meet Daisy again until his life ends in tragedy. Gatsbys greatness lies in his wish I want to exchange my life for Daisys life. Knowing that we cant do it, I applaud Gatsbys courage again!
_The Great Gatsby_ is such a story of _the grandiose age, the last classical love dream_ with tragic color!
Abstract The Old Man and the Sea tells the frustrated experience that the old fisherman fishes in the course. The theme is deep, and it is a song of praise of heroism.
“But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has been the classic saying and the old man also has been the most typical and the most representative of the Hemingway’s “tough guy”. When Hemingway talked about the successful factors later, the little boy was mentioned in the same breath with the old man.
This paper starts with the details and it is divided into two main parts to discuss the indispensable roles of the little boy in the novel. It is him who helps to perform the theme of “grace under pressure”: during 40 days, the old man with the little boy went to fish but without taking a fish, when his situation was getting worse step by step, the little boy’s leaving was the heavy pressure that achieved the extreme stern for certain. However , it was so “heavy pressure” that his manner was graceful when the old man faced afterwards defeat and his optimistic, generous life attitude was worthy tasting by people carefully; it is him who plays the role of leading, inspiring to the readers, and increasing the appeal of the work, enriching the content of the work: although the little boy appears only at the beginning and the ending in the novel, there is nothing in his inner state but the old man, so his attitude and emotions towards the old man affects the readers’ emotions for the old m an quietly and gradually. And it is unavoidable that his inner feeling leads and impacts the readers’ emotions.
Key words: roles; the little boy; the old man; grace under pressure; The Old Man and the Sea.
Today, I read a famous American writer Ernest Hemingways novel _the old man and the sea_, the book left a deep impression on me, I very admire book old fishermans will, he let me know how a person must have unremitting spirit, could succeed.
On the description of the old man and the sea is a nearly sixty years old fisherman, in a single sea, caught a big fish, but do not go up. Old fisherman with the fish have a few days later, only to find that this is a more than his fishing boat several times of the big marlin, while knowing that it is difficult to win, but still dont give up. Later, because of the big marlin wound fishy drew several group of sharks eat, but the old man wouldnt give up, so eventually break through, will be a big fish bones back to fishing port, let other fishermen to admire.
When I read my grandfather during a fierce battle with the sharks, I really worry about my grandfather, grandfather, however, is always the spirit of optimism to face some great difficulties, see here, I couldnt help think of yourself. When I met with some difficulties, I always feel very frustrated, feel very tired, really want to escape from reality. Look again at Santiago ALGOL grandpa, undeterred by whether encounter any difficulty, but bravely to face!
Life should also such, dont look like a picture of a death, want to have confidence in myself. Even if we encounter difficulties, should not let it to beat, should bravely to destroy it.
We are the future of our motherland, should be like Santiago aspiring ALGOL grandfather, to the pursuit of better, bigger targets. I believe that with my efforts, I will become like Santiago ALGOL grandpa so brave, so brave to fight.
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 story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.
It seems to me that many readers’English reading experience starts with Jane am of no 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 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 suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression,Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner,Rochester,a man with warm heart despite a cold face 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 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 film has finally got a symbolist end:Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally 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 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.”
Theyre a bunch of jerks, _I cried across the lawn._ theyre all in a bunch thats no match for you _-- Fitzgeralds the Great Gatsby describes the book as a mere disillusionment of the American dream, which is obviously a regrettable mistake. The long life experience of Fitzgerald, a Washingtonian, in the eastern big city, his friendship with the western youth and his complicated attitude towards them make this novel most clearly show the American character in the huge literary world. Gentlemen, this is not the complicated and historical story of gangs in the past of America. They are ordinary American youth. From the long west coast to the eastern dream city, Gatsby, the dreamer, has the ambition and rudeness of a pioneer. Like part of the traditional character of the country, they are fond of predatory construction. Its just that Gatsbys line is the opposite of that of his adventurous ancestors: the East after the war represents all that life can enjoy, and where young people can exert all their chasing abilities. The historical background of cruelty and war brought up the militarists and adventurers first. So Gatsby they have to go to the middle or the east to chase and enjoy the wine and women the world has given us.
But Gatsby, who had returned from his service, was poor and his beloved girl was in the arms of others all day. The inferiority and self-esteem of rural youth Gatsby are growing at the same time, while the vanity of human nature will evolve into a huge struggle energy when it comes to the right opportunity. All these characters hearts and experiences are easy to understand. What is complicated is the world they live in. The world is complicated because it seems cold and cruel. But if you are at a high point, all these things will become lovely. Fitzgerald begins his story with the upstart Gatsby, who holds a grand party on a generous week. Celebrities come here, and Gatsby waits for the arrival of the beloved woman in a corner. In the end, the inferiors Gatsby, the nouveau riche Gatsby and the lonely Gatsby, like the Russians of lemontov, fought this life with failure. When he was born, no one saw him off, and everyone spat at him. The splendid feast is gone, the luxury houses and grass are reborn, and the indifference and silence are returned. Compared with his predecessors, Hawthorne or Henry. James Fitzgerald is one of them. In his eyes, maybe nothing is worse than the American schools. So Hawthorne wrote about his native England, Henry, in a charming and rich style. At the turn of the old world and the new world, James described the Americans as deeply as a European philosopher, while Hemingway, a dangerous bull, brought American perplexity to the _Beat Generation_ of the worlds citizens, and then wrote the whole human perplexity. Among them, only Gerard is so simple: he faces the same dream of the youth in the West and the youth in the East. He looks at their poetic indulgence and revelry, and sees the brilliance and gloom of American life. He has no Oxbridge and Cambridge full of cattle and people, and he has only a poor professor in Princeton.
So southerners like Mohist love this pure American writer, while talented people like Faulkner have the opposite attitude. Compared with Gerard, the poet Whitman wrote America better and bolder, mark. Twain is more accurate than him in capturing the bitter tears of American humor. Henry has encountered more than him and portrayed America more richly. Fitzgeralds mediocrity is evident, however, in this man he wrote for an era. That era is so similar to todays China: vanity, money, power, and illegal business operations, the unreserved release of desire in the brilliant lights, people talk about celebrities and famous brands all day, without philosophy, poetry and real schools. This era and that era, the most naked reflection of human nature, but no one to write more moving human nature, the lack of real spiritual traction: everyone is so, there is no comparison. So the beauty of the Great Gatsby lies in its simple story, ordinary characters, and honesty. It does not have the vanity to describe the more magnificent crowd, does not take on the writing of the sense of history, such a simple story environment, appropriately depicts the vanity and human nature. When we see the upstart Gatsby asking himself over and over whether he is successful or trustworthy, and his goal of becoming a upstart is simply to regain his beloved woman, then Fitzgerald, a Washington native, finally stands firmly on Gatsbys side. Compared with those celebrities who live in a bright and empty heart, Gatsby, a western farmer, asks himself and is simple It is warm, firm and hopeful because he has fulfilled his dream and has generously shared his dream with others.
Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel, which impresses me for a long time. It describes a love story mainly between Elisabeth, who I like the best, and a rich and proud man, Darcy.
The story began with the arrival of a crowd of rich men who rent a house near the Bennet. In a ball, Elisabeth gave such a bad impression on Darcy’s first pride that she refused Darcy’s first proposal. Darcy was so surprised by Elisabeth’s refusal that he loved Elisabeth more deeply. And Elisabeth’s antipathy made Darcy realize his shortcomings. He was not angry about Elisabeth’s censure, but also he changed his previous proud attitude. During Elisabeth’s travel in Darcy’s manor. Darcy was very nice to her uncle and aunt, different from previous proud attitude. When one of Elisabeth’s sisters ran away with Wickham, Darcy helped Elisabeth find her sister and prevent her sister from the loss of reputation, with nobody knowing that it was he who helped the Bennet. So many changes in Darcy eliminated Elisabeth’s prejudice. At last it end with their marriage.
Taking the daily life as its material, this story reflected the life and love in a conservative and blocking England town. It reflected the author’s view about marriage that it is fault to marry for property, money and status and it is also foolish to take these elements into account. In fact Darcy’s pride manifested the gap between their statuses. Since his pride existed, there is no ideal marriage between Elisabeth and Darcy. From the different attitudes from Darcy’s two proposals, it reflected the feminine pursuit of personality independence and right equality, which is a progressive character from the image of Elizabeth.
The feeling of 《Pride And Prejudice》
Then man treat great event in one‘s life with punishing, Demonstrate different attitudes to the love question of the marriage of young girl of the family origin of middle class of villages and towns, Thus reflected authors oneself‘s marriage view: It is wrong to get married for the property, money and position; Get married and does not consider that above-mentioned factors are unwise too . So, she objects to getting married for money , objecting to regarding the marriage as a trifling matter . She emphasizes the importance of the ideal marriage , and regard men and women‘s emotion as the foundation stone which concludes the ideal marriage .
The woman protagonist in the book Elizabeth comes from the little landlord‘s family, reaches the west to have deep love for for the rich and powerful people sons and younger brothers. Reach the disparity of ignoring family status and wealth of the west, propose to her, but is refused. Elizabeth‘s misunderstanding and prejudice to him are a reason, but a main one is the arrogance that she dislikes him. Reach the thes of the west in fact status‘ the reflections of difference, exist this kind arrogant, Not having common thoughts and feelings between he and Elizabeth, the marriage that can not have lofty ideals . Elizabeth watches conducting oneself in society and a series of behavior of reaching the west personally afterwards, See he change the proud conceited expressions of passing by, dispel misunderstanding and prejudice to him, Thus concluded the happy marriage with him.
