今天，我怀着激动的心情读了《囚徒的豪情》这篇文章，不禁热泪盈眶，对革命是组织的敬意油然而生。
文章讲了恽代英再联系工作是不幸被捕。在恶劣的环境和非人的生活以及疾病的'折磨中他没有屈服，而是组织难友们开展战斗，并编写了一首《狱中诗》。由于叛徒顺章出走卖，恽代英光荣牺牲。
读罢此文，掩卷沉思。现在社会上有多少人因为一点点的不幸与挫折而迷失自我，他们的遭遇比起恽代英，岂不是大巫见小巫？面对不幸与挫折，只是捶胸顿足，感叹命运不公，丧失了奋斗的勇气和前进的信心，最终成为生活的懦夫。
此时此刻，我想起了另一个真实的故事：英国人弗兰克莱奇幼时失掉双臂.然而,不幸并没有让他倒.他从小就开始练习日常生活中人们用手做的事倩.日复一日年复一年，它不仅能用脚写字、穿衣，倒水做饭，还能工作和琐碎的家务活。最终，弗兰克?莱奇通过不懈努力，考入了美国柏明翰大学。在大学里，他以惊人的毅力完成了全部学业，成为无臂人中的的强者。
无数事实告诉我们，只有凭辛勤的汗水和百折不挠的精神，去主宰自己命运的人，才是真正的强者，同时也是生活的强者。
其实，一个民族、一个国家的兴衰有何尝不是这样呢？怨天尤人，退缩是没有用的，只有脚踏实地，不畏艰难的拼搏奋斗，才能使“山穷水尽”生活或状态，变成”柳暗花明“的景象。
朋友们，愿我们都做一名生活的强者，成为驾驭命运之舟的水手吧！
暑假里，我看了一本由英国著名作家J·K·罗琳精心撰写而成的精彩魔幻小说《哈利·波特与阿兹卡班囚徒》，这本书让我百看不厌。
这本令我痴迷的魔幻小说主要讲了：主人公哈利·波特三年级时的故事。哈利·波特在暑假生日收到了许多朋友的来信，其中有罗恩的、赫敏的`、海格的、并且还收到了赫敏送的《飞天扫帚护理手册》。第二天玛姬姨妈得罪了哈利，骂哈利的妈妈莉莉总是多管闲事、哈利的爸爸是酒鬼，哈利生气了，把玛姬变成了气球、飘向了空中。夜幕降临，哈利假冒珀西的名字去了伦敦破釜酒吧。哈利天天在破釜酒吧进餐，他控制自己尽量不把钱全部花光，用节余的钱买了几本自己需要的书。
开学了，哈利乘车到了国王十字车站九又四分之三站台，乘霍格沃茨特快列车到了霍格沃茨魔法学校的格兰芬多学院就学。他学会了如何对付摄魂怪和博格特，学会了占卜术，如何驯服鹰头马身有翼兽，在与拉文克劳打“魁地奇”时“飞天扫帚光轮2000”被打人柳打成了碎片，魁地奇也输了；哈利还知道了召唤守护神的咒语，如何对付或识别狼人，得到了活点地图，披着隐身衣进入了密道，获得了小天狼星·布莱克送给他的“火弩箭”飞天扫帚，骑着“火弩箭”打赢了魁地奇。特里劳妮教授的预言真正发生了，知道了赫敏有时间推移器的秘密，练成了 “终极召唤神符咒”的咒语“呼神护卫”，骑着鹰头马身有翼兽在八楼教授的房间里，救出了他的教父小天狼星·布莱克，知道了赫敏的秘密。哈利经过磨练和努力获得了本学期的最高荣誉“学院杯”。假期里还收到了教父小天狼星·布莱克的信。
我非常喜欢看这本小说，让我既增长了见识，又增强了幻想能力。
“Will you do an important thing? But your happiness, safety, health, wealth will be gone.” “Well…Maybe I won’t.”
After reading The Prisoner of Zenda, you may know how hard it is to make a decision and how important it is.
Unlike the Rassendyll family, Rudolf Rassendyll looked like the new king of Ruritania. He went to Ruritania for the new king’s coronation. He soon found out that Black Michael wanted to be the king and marry the princess Flavia, even though Flavia was the intended bride of the real king and she loved the king. Rudolf met the king the night before the coronation. Unfortunately, the king drank the wine sent by Black Michael and he could not wake up early next morning. Fritz and Sapt who worked for the king asked Rudolf to take the king’s place because he looked almost the same as the real king. Rudolf was able to refuse and he knew how dangerous he was, because if something wrong was happen, he would lose his life. But he did not do so. He bravely took part in the coronation. If he did not go, Black Michael would be the king and the real king would be dead or a prisoner.
It was only a small part of the novel, but what do you think about Rudolf? He chose the way of danger and hardness. He knew how important he was at that time. And he was the only person stood out.
As soon as Black Michael knew it, he kept the real king in the castle of Zenda. Rudolf still had to be the king and his adventures began. The princess loved Rudolf as she thought he was the real king. And Rudolf fell in love with the princess too. But he had to save the real king, the prisoner of Zenda. He made plans with Fritz and Sapt. At last, Rudolf won. After fighting with the people who worked for Black Michael and being hurt, Rudolf saved the real king. He said goodbye to the princess Flavia and left the country of Ruritania.
Though Rudolf was not the real king of Ruritania, he was the real hero of the country. He could leave the real king and be with the princess. He need not to do so many dangerous things for the real king. He had the opportunity to choose his love, but he did not. He chose the honor and loyalty to the real king.
Making decisions is an important thing for us. We choose which to buy and which to eat. We choose where to go and what to do. The happier, the better. The safer, the better. Perhaps these are our common opinions. And I am sure that I usually choose something in this way. What about Rudolf? You may think that it is not a real event. But what about those soldiers who stood out and entered the armies? Without any forcing, they left their homes to protect their countries. What about those teachers who gave up the chance to stay in large cities and went to teach the students in poor areas? They could not get high salaries and they could not see their relatives often. And what about those managers who always did as much as their workers did? … They all made important decisions and lost much happiness or safety. And they all chose the estimable things and all did well.————
