Everybody has read a famous masterpiece - "treasure island", Treasure Island English reading. The book revolves around an adventure story, in which a young man was born in a poor home to make a living in a hotel. The boy is the hero of the book, Jim. Hawkins. He stumbled upon a map of a desert island where old pirates hid gold and silver. So, he and other friends to discuss, with a group of seaman embarked on a trip to find. But soon, they were a group of seaman mutiny, the two sides keen on the battlefield, they launched a thrilling fight with the enemy. Finally, because all the efforts of the crew, charged to victory, Jim soon, they carried the wealth jubilantly with the home.
Although I did not go there in person adventure, but in my mind, always emerge a picture, Jim his honest face always appeared in his side, he is so noble, kind, brave, he is always able to subdue the pirates, victory, he is so brave! When I heard him this sentence shaking shock, such as this one: we see the land that night, I was in the apple barrel, I heard you, John, and Dick Johnson. - you, it is a Chinese, he is now at the bottom of the sea, I am still a little while, every word you said the report, the "treasure Island" in English reading. As for the schooner? It made me cut off the ropes of the ship. It was I who killed you on the ship...... When I saw these, I was very shocked, a juvenile can have so much courage to say these, which I admire.
Of course, I admire people who have a resentment of the people, such as Silver as the representative of the people, in their body are hypocritical, presumptuous, evil, they kill the lives of others for themselves, they do not feel guilty for what you have done, but more and more rampant. Think of the money the brain is empty, finally only kill the idea, to a man's throat cut, run amuck. Let my mind they all come out with a pair of ferocious terror ningxiao eyes with a seaman knife killed many people crazy, only for their own benefit and loss of humanity.
Although the novel is genuine, his work embodies a sharp confrontation between good and evil. I think the story warns us not to do anything selfish, because it is the wrong way in your life, and Jim is a kind of spiritual wealth represented by justice.
Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters.
The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. （Actually she is a pedant.） Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”。 The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”， the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”， her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
书籍，一瞬间感觉自己对知识的渴望无限膨胀，于是便“不理智”地买下许多书，回到家便有一搭没一搭的翻着，只是感情仿佛经历了沧海桑田，变化太大。
我上初一的时候，相同的镜态，买了好几本书，有鲁迅的《呐喊》，冰心的《繁星》和艾米莉·勃朗特的《呼啸山庄》，只记得这几本。这是一次很神奇的读书经历。《呐喊》整个初中我读了三遍不止，而《呼啸山庄》每每翻至第五页便由衷地感觉读下去的自我强迫，以至于不得不放弃。中考结束后的某个暑假，雨夜，在我近视不是很深的时候(突然羡慕起眼睛不近视的时候，老师布置作业，寻找仙后座，观察月亮移动的轨迹)，我看到天空酱紫色的深邃，没有星星，感受着小雨的清凉，窗台上的串串红和月季很怡人，就去翻我的书柜，找到了这本“遗弃”的《呼啸山庄》，终于跨越了“五页”这个瓶颈，忘记了时间，忘记了我的夜晚，忘记了雨，忘记了串串红和月季。
抛开书的内容，翻译质量可圈可点，我看的是由上海美术出版社出版，翻译简约和真实，给人以干净和顺畅的好感。从内容上看，小说选取管家角度讲述整个事件，给人以床头故事的感觉，自然又顺畅。小说就是这样，再好的故事也经不住罗哩罗嗦，故意堆砌文字的打击。专业的评论人这样说它“全篇充满强烈的反压迫、争幸福的斗争精神，又始终笼罩着离奇、紧张的超现实气氛，惊悚恐怖之中感人至深，带有部分哥特文学的奇幻恐怖色彩。”对我来说，这些评价当然字字珠玉，但却又难以理解。喜欢它，不过是发自内心的喜欢，我个人的理由而已。
第一我感动的`是希刺克里夫和凯瑟琳的爱情。无法理解爱和地位之间的矛盾，也无法体味他们之间的爱情。凯瑟琳说：“我这么爱他，并不是因为他长得英俊是因为他比我更像我自己。”我在后来的经历中慢慢体会到爱情的感觉就是这样，对方的样子就是你期待你自己的未来是那个样子，所谓的“更”则是更加接近期待的状态。凯瑟琳甘愿赴不幸的婚姻，接受命运的安排。从一开始，仿佛悲剧已然发生。凯瑟琳的那句“无论人类的灵魂是什么样的，他的和我的一模一样”(英文为whateverour souls are made of，his and mine are thesame。这句话，在一次投票中荣膺人们最喜欢的情话)我们无法想像希刺克里夫忍受了多大的折磨才将自己锻造为“文明人”，在我看来，这种锻造甚至是艰辛的。无论是19世纪的英国，亦或是宣扬“美国梦”，在梦想面前人人平等，更是今天的中国。无形的“阶级”依然存在，突破这种阶级的天然存在着实不易。更加让人倍感惊悚的便是凯瑟琳很早便已过世，希刺克里夫却一直坚持着他的复仇，凯瑟琳的灵魂独自在荒野飘荡和哭泣了20年，无法安息，无法永眠。
之所以喜欢这本书是由于凯瑟琳和希刺克里夫对社会的反抗和对自由的向往，他们挣扎于世俗之外。
相遇于爱情，却各自流浪。
