上个星期六，我和爸爸一起去看电影：少年派的奇幻漂流。为了能买到票，我们早早地先去买半价票，然后我们再到肯德基去吃早餐。吃完早餐，电影始的时间刚刚好到了，我们快速上楼进了放映厅，坐下来，开始看电影。
这部电影讲的是一个少年人的冒险故事，它是以一种回忆的方式来进行拍摄的。有一个叫派的印度少年人，从小生活在一个温暖的家庭里，他爸爸开了一个动物园。但是随着派的慢慢长大，环境也在改变，他家的动物园无法经营下去了。派的爸爸决定全家移到加拿大去，同时把动物也运到那边去卖掉。登船日期到了，派和他的家人上了船出发了。路途中，他们遇到了暴风雨，派在这次灾难中失去了家人，他自己却被船员送到了救生艇上，但是几只动物也到了救生艇上，特别是孟加拉虎，派非常害怕。老虎吃掉了船上的所有动物，派必须冷静地面对危险，勇敢机智地与老虎一起生存下来。最后派得救了，老虎也回到了树林。
电影放完了，我慢慢走出了电影院。通过这部电影，我懂得了遇到危险要冷静，不要慌张，再想办法脱离危险。或者一开始就用聪明机智的办法尽量避免危险。

9月28号，终于等来了盼望已久的这个学期的第一次电影课了。听说要看《驯龙高手》这部电影的时候，我更兴奋了，嗯，至少是部动画片。
当电影一开始，它一说到“维京人”的时候，我就觉得特别耳熟。原来，“维京人”就是北欧海盗，敢大胆地抢劫当时海上第一大国西班牙的商船。看完这个电影，更觉得他们大胆了，他们居然敢跟龙接触。这个电影讲的就是海盗首领的儿子小嗝嗝和一条号称龙里面最凶猛的夜煞接触，然后一起找到龙总是抢劫的原因，最后和海盗、一些龙一起打败不给它食物就要吃龙的巨龙。
我觉得这部电影的亮点有两处。一是各式各样的龙，二是主人公和夜煞合作击败巨龙那一段。我一直都挺喜欢龙的，觉得它们挺好玩儿的，看这个电影刚好满足了我的愿望。这里面的龙不是那种普通的全都长成一个样子的，有两个脑袋的、超级无敌大脑袋的、能自己着火、没有肉、全身都是骨头、尾巴上带着锤子的……
这部电影就是借龙来说明，当你看到一个有丑恶一面的可怕的东西时，要想到这并不一定是它的本性，你要找到它变得凶猛的原因，你也许就会发现它纯真、善良的本性。好多电影都是想说明这样的道理，你不要轻易地给某种事物定性，而是要找到解决问题的办法。

今天我们去音乐厅观看了电影《驯龙高手》。
它是讲很久以前龙的部落和维京海盗部落经常互相攻打。一天，一个维京小男孩在林子里发现了一只龙，他本来想刺死它，但是他发现龙受了伤不能飞了，这可怎么办呢？于是他用纸制作了一个东西安装在了他的尾巴上，结果龙飞了起来。后来，小男孩驯服了那条龙，并把那条龙起名叫无牙。他们齐心协力打败了残暴的龙大王，维京人也和龙成了好朋友，那个男孩成了大英雄，他就是小嗝嗝。
我觉得小嗝嗝很勇敢、很善良。他用他的善良之心把凶猛的夜煞驯服成温顺的龙，并帮助了维京人。要是没有残暴的龙大王，人是可以和龙做朋友的，是可以和平共处的。
不管是人还是动物只要有善良之心，就不会有战争存在。

爱情是一张票根，凭它我们乘上时光机器，穿过长长短短的岁月，寻找那么一些些曾经让我们怦然心动的回忆。爱情也是一张船票，它曾漂荡在大西洋的无垠碧海，沉入海底几万英尺的寂寞深渊。爱情还是一张电影票，它见证了十五年光阴似水，历久弥新，再次击中我们怅然若失的心。有些事，无法启齿，终是冷暖自知，仿佛自己私密于心的那些恋爱琐事，尘封在记忆的底端，却时不时情不自禁，想拿出来回味一番。
说到爱情，最美不过天长地久、海枯石烂，大抵脱不出一个“永恒”。与时间赛跑，我们永远都只会输，不论你爱得有多轰轰烈烈、惊天动地，最终不过是历史车轮碾过的一抔黄土、一缕尘埃。《泰坦尼克号》的动人之处，或许就在于那穿越时光，永远不变的爱情。当老得不能再老的罗丝爬上船头，将价值连城的“海洋之心”扔向大海，以纪念她的爱情以及她于海底长眠的爱人时，我们又有多少人能不动容呢？
当杰克在平静冰冷的海面和罗斯说着那些临终的嘱托，那不是什么海誓山盟，不是什么甜言蜜语，只是一些很小很小的对生活和生命的期许，杰克给罗斯的温暖从相遇到生命的终结，狠狠戳中泪点。很多时候，爱情之所以让我们觉得值得铭记，就在于这些细小的温暖，给了我们勇敢走下去的力量。

《猩球崛起》这部电影，是讲述人类在动物身上进行药物试验的故事。
在剧中，有一个庞大的药物公司，这个公司为了发明好的药物推销给人们，拿猩猩做实验。
有一次，工作人员要拿一只母猩猩做实验，而母猩猩以为工作人员要伤害自己的孩子，所以到处乱逃，结果被保安人员用枪打死了。
但小猩猩还是保住了，它受母亲遗传，所以很聪明，因为它的母亲受过“GFL—112”药物的试验，这种药物可以让猩猩变得聪明，可会让人类死亡。
在这里工作的男主角，他是要务公司的“明星”。他把猩猩带回家抚养，渐渐地，猩猩长大了。男主角给他它起了一个名字叫凯撒。后来，凯撒被迫送到了猩猩禁闭所那里的管理员对猩猩们很不好，但后来凯撒逃了出来，偷到了“GFL—112”，然后它又回到禁闭所，打开了“GFL—112”，让所有猩猩变得聪明，竟然还说出了话！后来它们向管理员复仇！与警察抗争，有一只巨猿扑向了直升机，救了大家，牺牲了自己，是伙伴们回到了红山森林。
这部电影，使我感到了：人类为了自己的利益，而去伤害性猩猩，拿猩猩做实验，猩猩也有生命，它们也要自由。同时，我也感到了母爱很伟大，母猩猩为了救小猩猩，逃了出来，而且出来时它捂住肚子，而子弹却无情的穿透了它的胸膛。许多猩猩为了就自己的伙伴而牺牲自己，那只巨猿就是这样做的。当我介绍到这，你应该有所了解什么叫“猩球崛起”了吧？这种崛起，就是整个猩族觉醒了，它告诉人们，当受欺负时，不能懦弱，要想自由前进！
这部电影震撼了我的心，让我的心情久久不能平息！

在我看过的所有影片中，《肖申克的救赎》是最能打动我的一部影片。特别是剧中的男主人公在一个风雨交加的黑夜，冲破监狱的围墙越狱成功后，伸出双臂拥抱自由的经典画面，更是深深的震撼着我的心灵。这是对自由的渴望，更是对生命的致敬！
影片《肖申克的救赎》一般被认为是一部励志片。但是，在我看来，它不仅仅是一部励志片，更是一部探讨生命，自由以及人处于逆境中所迸发出来的超乎想象的潜能的影片。
影片故事集中发生在一个叫肖申克的监狱中，四面都是高墙栅栏，只有抬头仰望天空时，才会发现外面还有另一个世界。主人公因为法庭的的误判而被监禁在这里。或许，许多观众都会认为主人公的后半生都会在这里度过了。对于监狱里的其他犯人来说，这里或许就是他们以后的归宿。他们好像已经接受了命运的安排，整天就是打架，赌钱，丝毫不在意大墙内外的不同世界。在他们的内心深处，已经不存在监狱这堵墙了。他们已经放弃了对生命和自由的渴望，但是，对于主人公来说，他没有放弃……
起初，主人公表现的与其他犯人没有两样，只是一直比较沉默寡言。然而，不再沉默中爆发，就在沉默中灭亡。孰知这长久的沉默是为那最后瞬间的爆发而积蓄着巨大的.能量。主人公凭借自己的聪明才智给监狱长洗钱而受到重用，而后又坚持每周给监狱上级写信，要求拨款在监狱建图书馆。在坚持了几年的每周写信后，监狱上级终于同意拨款建图书馆。就这样，主人公一步一步，悄无声息的实施着自己的计划，终于在一个雷雨交加的黑夜，主人公终于冲破了监禁他20年的监狱。。当监狱长看到那幅画底下的那个大窟窿时，一切都真相大白了。观众无不为主人公的聪明智慧所折服，真是大快人心！
20年的时间足以摧毁一个人的意志，消磨一个人的耐心。但是，影片中主人公却没有被时间所摧毁，却显示出了更强的生命斗志。当人处于逆境中时，人的潜能到底有多大，谁也不知道。但是，当你对生命和自由有强烈的渴望和追求时，积聚在你内心深处的巨大潜能就会迸发出来，这就是生命的力量，让我们向生命致敬！

幸福从那里来？当一个人屡屡遇到不幸的时候，你是否坚持了你的梦想，你是否为了幸福而坚持不懈了呢？
影片开始时克里斯·加德纳在人潮涌动大街上迷失在一张张笑脸中茫然地伫立“为什么人人都快乐，我却不能这样呢”。片尾当克里斯·加德纳通过试用再次来到那里时，他为自己鼓掌振臂。
你要幸福，那就去追求。

最近，我看了一部极具“人情味”的动画片，它的名字就是《玩具总动员》。
它讲述的是：
胡迪是小主人安弟最喜欢的传统牛仔玩偶，他和其他玩具趁主人不在时，便会“活”起来一起玩闹。可是好景不常，最新奇的热门玩具巴斯光年来了，他让胡迪备受冷落。失宠的胡迪为了巩固自己的地位，只好处心积虑地想要赶走巴斯。最后，胡迪和巴斯不幸化敌为友的故事。
看完此片，我想到了那些以前被我丢弃的玩具，它们在黑暗的垃圾桶，废弃堆里，是否会伤心，是否会抱怨？我想是的，因为它们不仅仅是玩具，它们也是有思想的，当你的玩具被你遗忘的时候，他们也会难过的。
或许，你现在觉得那些老玩具已经不潮了，但是你在抛弃他们的时候，没有怀念过曾经与他们在一起度过的美好时光吗？

周日中午没睡午觉，特意看了动画片《美人鱼公主》，相信这部动画片很多人都看过，因为它美丽，浪漫，充满了神秘的气息，而且制作精美，设计巧妙，又尤其美人鱼形象堪称一绝。
美丽的爱丽儿是一条可爱的小美人鱼，她一心向往人类世界，每天都想尽办法游出海面，企图能够接触人类。可是接触人类世界却是人鱼法律所禁止的。她聪明、勇敢、喜欢冒险，常和她最好的朋友小比目鱼胖胖还有音乐大臣赛巴斯丁一起出去探险
个人很喜欢美人鱼这个动画角色，也许每个女人潜意识里都会有些浪漫情结吧（老公经常强调我不浪漫，太现实，喜欢斤斤计较，抓住别人的小辫子不放，虽然我一直没找到机会和辩词来进行反驳，但我心里是从来都没承认过我有这么多的缺点的。），虽然小孩都上幼儿园了，但还是喜欢看这个动画片。

《老人与海》英文读后感 篇2
the Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways 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.
Its long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I dont 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. Its pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didnt think shes beautiful. But shes smart. However, I didnt pay much attention to the plot. I thought its so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I havent read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.
In fact, I didnt understand the story at that time. I didnt know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didnt find where s the prejudice. I thought its normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. Im a prejudiced person so I cant find wheres wrong. I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

《老人与海》英文读后感 篇4
The Old Man And The Sea This is a great book, mind you. How I gave opinions to that is the spirits of Santiago greatly affected me. But the author, Earnest Hemingway said if his writing is really good, then the characters can also be many other things. Santiago is a common fisherman, and he hadnt had a fish for 84 days. And this time when he left he fished a big salmon by himself. He fought the fish for 3 days and nights and finally he kills it. He called it his brother. But he then had to fight the sharks and finally he gone home with a fish spine, and some fish bones. I could find his great spirits of never giving up. Particularly if he just loose the grip of the fishing poleand let the fish go, he wouldnt have any trouble, but he can stay to the end. Something I regret to tell you is that I didnt read this book very carefully, so I intend to tell you I want to read this book again and tell you what Ive gained through the second-time reading.
《老人与海》英文读后感 篇5
The Old Man and the Sea was written by an American writer named Ernest Hemingway. It has been translated into tens of languages, and the writer was so proud of his work.
Santiago, the hero of the story, had gone eighty-four days without taking a fish back. At first, a boy named Manolion had been with him, but Santiago couldn’t catch even one fish. The boy had gone at his parents’ orders in a lucky boat which caught three good fish the first week, and the couple thought that it was definitely and finally bad to let their boy stay with the old fisherman. On Santiago’s eighty-fifth day of fishing, he went out alone, leaving the smell of the land behind and rowing out into the clean early morning smell of ocean. To his surprise, he caught a tuna which he had never seen before and it was hard to believe that the tuna was bigger than his boat. Later, the blood from the tuna left a trail for all sharks as wide as a highway, so fighting against sharks was unavoidable. The result was that sharks ate up all the meat of the tuna and Santiago only brought the tuna skeleton back. He was so tired that he slept deeply as soon as he got home, dreaming of lions.
In this story, Santiago was an old and poor widow though he was good at fishing and had so much valuable experience. He only lived on fishing all his life. At long last, he just brought the skeleton back, you may think such a fisherman should be a loser, but this result didn’t mean failing. On the contrary, Hemingway used the skeleton which was the pillar of spirit to strengthen the meaning of the old man’s life. Santiago was described as a perfect person who never gave up.
The boy named Manolion appeared in the beginning and at the end. Even during Santiago’s voyage, he always came to the poor old man’s mind. He was the only person who cared Santiago sincerely, trust Santiago absolutely, and the young boy wanted to be an inheritor of Santiago’s career. Hemingway not only told us the experience of fishing should be spread from generation to generation, but also expected us to admire, to learn from and to carry on the spirit of Santiago. The appearance of Manilion was not by chance, which was arranged by Hemingway. During Santiago’s long voyage, how much he wished the boy could have been with him to drive his loneliness away. Youth is the symbol of energy and hope. Even an old man can be young inside. Lions appeared several times in Santiago’s dreams for they were living in his heart, which showed the spirit of Santiago would never be low.
The coming of the sharks could not be avoided. They can be thought as attack which can swallow your success and happiness. The story tells me to face the problems happened in my life with a heart as wide as ocean. Though the old man was lonely, he was a traveler who walked on the road of realizing his ideals. But he was not alone at the moment, for his will was so firm. The Old Man and the Sea has won the Nobel Prize at last, which is a comfort to the writer.
《老人与海》英文读后感 篇6
Santiago, an old man about sixty years old, fished alone with nothing caught in eighty four days. No one would like to talk to him for his extremely bad luck except a boy who always came to help after the day and finally left to another boat under the pressure of his parents. Ignoring the contempt from the younger fishermen and sympathy from the older, on the morning of the 85th day, the old man started his fishing with determination and rowed his old boat very far in the sea where he believed there would be big fish. Fortunately the old man met with a big fish as he had wished and finally defeated the big Marlin with two days and nights struggle after overcoming great difficulties. But more unfortunately there were many sharks coming after his boat attracted by the smell of the blood of the big Marlin. After death-and-life struggle, when he finally got rid of the sharks coming after the boat, the big Marlin was bare skeleton.
The Old Man and the Sea tells a frustrated experience of the old man who fishes alone in the sea in plain languages. Through the simple lines, a “tough guy” image is shaped and heroism is praised. The whole story starts with a peaceful beginning which is some trivial of life and talking with the boy, and suddenly turns to its climax which is the dangerous fighting with the big fish and sharks alone in the sea, and ends with the old man’s return with the bare skeleton of the big Marlin. Though the boy only appears at the beginning and the ending in the novel, he plays an indispensible role, it is his inspiring and supporting that helps the old man to be “graceful under heavy pressure”.
In the book, the old man prepared his fishing properly and preciously than any other fishermen so that “Then when luck comes you are ready” as the old man thought to himself. In reality, some of us keep complaining that they are born in wrong time or good luck never knocks their doors. In fact, good luck sometimes just comes when they are not ready. Taking Newton for example, if he had not acquired a lot, millions of apples could never make him discovery the gravity. So if we just keep studying as much as we can, good luck will finally find us and a bright future is ahead of us. The old man never gives up hope. When all of people think he is doomed, he still strongly believes that he will get a big fish. And he does. So never giving up hope is very important to us. This reminded me of the sentence in Churchill’s speech “Never give up, never, never, never…”. “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has always been inspiring me when I counter with some setbacks in my life. Setbacks are inevitable in pursuit of our goals, but we should never be frustrated and should be “graceful under heavy pressure” like the old man. It is his relentless pursuit that contributes to the victory.
《老人与海》英文读后感 篇7
When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.
Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.
The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.
The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.
This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.
In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed-face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up-brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.
The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.
Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.
The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.
Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.
Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.
From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish-he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.
Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.
The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.
While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.
Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.
Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces-life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration-of nature.
This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .
《老人与海》英文读后感 篇8
The old man and the sea "is a novel written by American writer Hemingway, an old fisherman named Santiago eighty-four consecutive days did not catch a fish, although he has grey-haired, but he refused to admit defeat, still full of fighting spirit. At his insistence, finally in eighty-fifth days caught a one thousand and five hundred pound fish, eighteen feet long, the fish pulled the old man boat into the sea to swim, in no water and no food, no tools and peer predicament, the old man is still in the fight with the big fish, two days later he finally killed the fish, but also attracted many sharks, although he waged a fierce battle with the sharks, but he managed to get the big fish eat shark, the old man had to go home with the rest of the fish bones.
After reading the novel, I was deeply moved by the old man, and some people may think that the old mans behavior is very stupid, in the "no harvest" days can still hold on. Moreover, the old man was fortunate enough to have a big fish after a fierce struggle and was eaten by sharks, and what the old man had done before seemed meaningless to them. But in my opinion, the old man is admirable. First of all, the old man was very patient, and for the long days he did not reap anything. Even if he was laughed at, he persisted. Finally, his perseverance came in, but he had to fight the big fish. In the process, he was the only one on the ship. From the spiritual point of view, he was lonely, and there was no food on the ship, and his body could not support him any longer. In the physical and mental torture, he still persevered, and this is what I admire most of him.
I feel the same about the old man. In junior high school, we have to reform the sports running, long-distance running, for no movement of the cells for me, it is a bolt from the blue. When I first started, I was far from perfect. For me, it is to get out of class to tell some fantastic tales, most students are an easy job to do. If in sports in this regard with others widen the gap, he may also be very sorry. So I decided to practice long-distance running, maybe I could sprint the full score on the day of the exam. So in addition to the provisions of the morning school every day after school every day I ran outside, to walk a few laps around the track and field.
Distance examination and more than a year, long distance is really very strenuous, every time run out in a sweat does not say, for my poor people, running really very hard, from the beginning of the second lap breathing difficulties, when there are half circle of people want to fall to the ground, but also to be speed run, sprinting throat like something off, as if next second there is something to be poured out. But I still insist on, and finally to the examination day, although I tried my best, but still a little bit out of full marks. Know the moment of achievement, tears involuntarily in the eyes of the rotation, in mind, before the efforts are in vain?. Now, Zhang Sijia feels that his efforts are not without progress. At least I have made great progress.
Maybe sometimes, in the eyes of others, you insist on things is meaningless, but not all things can be accomplished, there must be a long process, through the long process, even if not successful, but they also can get to it.
《老人与海》英文读后感 篇9
I have read many books, which I learned a lot of knowledge, let me know a lot of truth in life, including a book, let me experience a deep, it is a famous writer Ernest Hemingway wrote, "Hits."
"Hits" This book talked about such a story, old fisherman Santiago de Cuba consecutive 84 days did not catch the fish, was another loser as a fisherman, but he was persistent, and finally caught a big marlin large Marlins his boat dragged on for three days at sea, exhausted, was tied to the boat he was killed on one side, and then Return Journey repeatedly been shark attacks, he has exhausted all means to counterattack. Back to Hong Kong only the head and a fish tail spine. Although the fish have bitten gone, but what can not destroy the will of his bravery. This book reveals to us a truth: people are not born to fail, and a person can be destroyed, but can not be defeated.
Before I do anything as long as there is one point does not work well, they will retreat, and sometimes even say a few words dejected to say. In learning, I have a few tests as long as there is not very good there will be no confidence that their getting good grades. "Hits", the hero fighting with the shark, shark harpoon was taken away, he put the knife blade tied to tie chaos. Knife broke, he used truncheons. Batons have lost, and he used the rudder to e to play. This book reveals the truth, not to explain a man no matter what my greatest fear is the lack of confidence. Confidence is like a motor car, is a human motivation. If you do one thing with the confidence, you mean half the battle. The hero in this book are full of confidence and perseverance, not exactly what I indispensable?
Since reading this book, I know that his lack of learning is no longer due to a loss of confidence in the two do not go well, but more poorly in an exam, the more to be a good test. In the final exam the day, the morning two homework results, I do not have a certain class of students is good, but I admit defeat, but confidence that the determination to fight a turnaround. Language examinations in the afternoon, I have done every Road topics are especially careful. Sure enough, I was class of the first language examinations, total score, I am also a first.
In the future, I do not care what difficulties we encountered, we must face with confidence, persist in the end, and never retreat. I want to thank the book, for which I have learned so much, thank it for me to understand so many reasons, for it let me know his own shortings and correct their shortings in time, so I became a socially useful people.
"Hits", the lonely old fisherman Santiago has been not only be tough guy, his spiritual values embodied in the body is entirely the spirit of the ancient Greek tragedy, a modern echo. In the "Hits", the Hemingway finally for his beloved tough guy to find the soul, this soul is everlasting eternal values of mankind. Thus, in the "Hits", the tough-guy character of Santiagos fortitude has bee the novels surface. By Santiago tough-guy character to praise the eternal values of mankind, became the real theme of the novel. "Hits" and demonstrated what eternal value?
The first is peoples self-confidence. Santiago consecutive 84 days at sea, and did not catch a fish. However, the "pair of eyes, ah, like water, like blue, is happy, not depressed." Originally to follow Santiago on fishing expeditions children, spoke of his father called him to the other boat and said, : "He did not much self-confidence." "Yes." the old man said, "But we have, you say is not it?"
Santiago in self-confidence is absolute self-confidence, is not to environmental change and changes in self-confidence, it does not pare with others, self-confidence. In Santiagos philosophy of existence, even when confronted with a pole of the unlucky people can only self-confidence.
People alive, the only way to determine the necessity, that is, to death. In addition, there is no bound to what can rely on. Since the person is alive by chance, then the courage to support human life, the only confident. If we lose self-confidence, in the continuing unlucky so many days after the Santiago there is the courage and perseverance on fishing expeditions do? Therefore, people live to be confident, not self-confidence is for human consumption can not afford luxury. It is precisely because Santiago had an absolute self-confidence, he was called away to the children to express a plete tolerance and understanding. Here, Hemingway has demonstrated the link between self-confidence and tolerance. "Hits" in the main space, describing the lonely old fisherman Santiago, in the open sea and in large marlin and a variety of sharks entangled, fought for three days and three nights experience. By Hemingway fullest description, we felt the Santiago desperate struggle with the fate of the heroic and noble. Last drag home for the elderly only a 18 feet-long fish skeleton, the only plete skeleton is the head and beautiful fish tail.
From the physical point of view, elderly people fought for three days and three nights a result of failure; but the human spirit, from the persons self-confidence self-esteem, courage and destiny from the human to make every effort to struggle for victory Santiago .
After all, the true victory can only be a triumph of the spirit. No matter who made much material success, they can not win our respect and thanks. Only the spirit and the spirit of victory, it moves us, that we have to follow the elderly and children, for his tragic tears.
