Little Women
Before I read this book, I had watched a cartoon movie made by Japan. So I have a strong interest on it.
It all begins in the dead of winter; The Christmas Season. The coldest one of all, were the war has made fuel for heating very scarce. While her husband is off at war, Marmee is left alone to raise their four daughters: Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy.
On Christmas Eve, Marmee has just arrived home from passing out food to the less fortunate with a letter from her husband, the girls' father. The all gather together around the fire to read the letter. Afterwards, the girls are teary eyed. Marmee kisses them and they are off to bed.
Jo is longing to become a writer. So, every night she stays up late writing the script for soap operas. As morning comes she is the last one awake. The table is set, and food prepared for their Christmas feast.
As dusk falls, the girls are all up in the attic acting out Jo's play, which she reads from the local (fake) newspaper. As they are performing, their rich, next-door neighbors grandson watches from the window.
The 2 oldest girls: Jo and Meg, get ready to attend the Christmas Ball. While Jo is curling Meg's hair, there is a strange smell to the air. Amy screams, Megs hair is being singed. They continue digging through the old clothes bin for a pair of white gloves.
One of the prominent themes in Little Women is the coming of age or maturation of the girls. During the course of the novel we see them grow in many ways -- physically, intellectually, and especially emotionally. One question which readers must ask themselves is whether the views the characters have on the coming of age process are shared by Alcott. If they aren't, what are Alcott's views and how do they differ from those of the women in her story?
It is interesting to examine the last half of Chapter 20, "Confidential." Jo addresses the maturation issue as she speaks with Marmee of the situation between Meg and Mr. Brooke. The possible love between these two represents one of the very important aspects in coming of age for a teenage girl. Jo treats this natural process as if it were some sort of disease, however. Jo cannot understand why Meg would want to stop behaving "like a sensible creature" (p.202), and refers to love as "such nonsense."
老人与海英文读后感(一)
It's long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I don't remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It's
pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didn't think she's beautiful. But she's smart. However, I didn't pay much attention to the plot. I thought it's so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven't read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.
In fact, I didn't understand the story at that time. I didn't know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didn't find where' s the prejudice. I thought it's normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting.
老人与海英文读后感(二)
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation.It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.
I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.
Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.
My first impression of this story was from screen.

英语小说读后感4
契柯夫，欧亨利，莫泊桑这三个耳熟能详的名字想必每个人都知道，作为世界三大小说之王的他们用细腻的笔触描绘了那个时代的黑暗与沧桑。在这个第一次在初中度过的秋天里，我有幸读到欧亨利的小说。
在欧亨利的笔下，每个人都被刻画得淋漓尽致：富人的贪婪，穷苦人民的'善良，社会的黑暗……当翻开第一个故事《麦琪的礼物》时，我不由得为这对年轻夫妇感到悲哀，2人昔日感到彼此珍贵的东西到现在却成了无用的东西；但我又为2人感到欣慰，因为他们得到了比表链和梳子套装更珍贵的东西——爱，他们告诉我们要尊重他人的爱，学会去爱他人，这难道不是人与人之间相处的基本规则么？
我用一丝惋惜翻去麦琪给予的礼物，展现在眼前的是《警察与赞美诗》，文中的苏比想去监狱熬过冬天，几次惹是生非。当听到赞美诗想改邪归正时，却被意外的逮捕。这出乎意料的结局，令人感到捧腹有心酸。
欧亨利借苏比的故事反映了当时社会的无情与残酷。主人公借助许多坏事扰乱社会，这也反映了资本主义社会下层人民的精神痛苦。
欧亨利为了表达对资本主义社会的不满，把手中的笔当作武器，大量运用穷富的对比手法，揭示自己作为一名作家对这个社会爱莫能助的忧伤。
欧亨利的作品中，幽默代替了酸楚，流露出自己对被命运捉弄的穷苦人民的悲惨情绪。
如今的社会早已不是那个颓废的年代，不再有那么多饱尝辛酸的人民。读着欧亨利的小说，我可以想象出那个年代的悲惨，一个个画面浮现在眼前……我不由得为欧亨利先生由衷敬佩。
