当认真看完一本名著后，相信大家都增长了不少见闻，这时候，最关键的
"Grapes of Wrath" is written by John Steinbeck. It was a great work that inspired millions of people during the great depression. In 30s the economic meltdown era, a large number of farmers in the Midwest to abandon their homes, like a fleeing westward migration to California as a better life pursuit. Reality is not as good as ideal, but they do not give up hope. The story is moving, the content is realistic and accusation, and everywhere reveals the brilliance of human nature. The hero was driven out of the land by his banker's tractor, sold his family property, moved to California, and pursued a new life. Along the way, the elderly elders died, but unable to bury, young people continue to disperse and go. After a hard journey to California, he was driven and robbed even as "Russian Dutch man". So big a country has no place for them. Their poor life can not help but shed tears, but exhibited in this hardship among the glory of humanity is impressive.
There are 3 characters in the novel that left a deep impression on me. That's Tom, grandma and mom. Tom is an honest, kind-hearted, very sincere person, as long as you believe is right even if the pay is also going to do, he is not evil bow, like Tom more than family love, are we the readers love, although this image seems to be ideal. Grandma is a naughty boy, he is stubborn, he is naive, he is cute. I really love this grandmother, his death makes me sad for a long time. Mother is the most vivid character portrayed in this novel. Although she is only a housewife, she is the master of the family. She has a strong aura to maintain the integrity and dignity of the family, at the same time she has the ability to accept the suffering of the extraordinary, and then the great disaster can not beat her, nor can it defeat the family.
In the author's writing, although he severely condemned human ignorance and greed, but to show readers the natural life and vitality. He lovingly described in the sunlight on the grass, the grass is warm, the grass in the shadow of a variety of insects in the activities of ants and ant lion busy layout catch insects into the air trap, the grasshopper jumped up, patted her wings, with many fine woodlice feet like armadillo like a slow paced." In the eyes of the author, although the dust storm brings disaster, the life in nature is so beautiful and lovely. Nature gives human beings something so beautiful. What else does man have to do to destroy this harmony and balance?
If humans have been so unrestrained, all you know, don't know return, then harmony of human and nature once it is broken, it will enter a vicious spiral, the consequences be unbearable to contemplate. "Protecting the environment and protecting the environment is our common responsibility."." This sentence from childhood to hear, or to mention the important agenda. For the future of mankind, sustainable development must also be mentioned as an important agenda.
In the Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck has achieved an interesting contrapuntal effect by breaking the narrative at intervals with short, impressionistic passages recorded as though by a motion picture camera moving quickly from one scene to another and from one focus to another. The novel is a powerful indictment of our capitalistic economy and a sharp criticism of the southwestern farmer for his imprudence in the care of his land. The outstanding feature of the Grapes of Wrath is its photographically detailed, if occasionally sentimentalized description of the American farmers of the Dust Bowl in the midthirties of the twentieth century.
Tom Joad was released from the Oklahoma state penitentiary where he had served a sentence for killing a man in self-defense. He traveled homeward through a region made barren by drought and dust storms. On the way he met Jim Casy an expreacher; the pair went together to the home of Tom's people. They found the Joad place deserted. While Tom and Casy were wondering what had happened, Muley Graves, a diehard tenant farmer, came by and disclosed that all of the families in the neighborhood had gone to California or were going. Tom's folks, Muley said, had gone to a relative's place preparatory to going west. Muley was the only sharecropper to stay behind.
All over the southern Midwest states, farmers, no longer able to make a living because of land banks, weather, and machine farming, had sold or were forced out of the farms they had tenanted. Junk dealers and used-car salesmen profiteered on them. Thousands of families took to the roads leading to the promised land, California.
Tom and Casy found the Joads at Uncle John's place all busy with preparations to leave for California. Assembled for the trip were Pa and Ma Joad; Noah, their mentally backward son, Al, the adolescent younger brother of Tom and Noah, Rose of Sharon, Tom's sister and her husband, Connie; the Joad children, Rothie and Winfield, and Granma and Grampa Joad. Al had bought an ancient truck to take them west. The family asked Jim Casy to go with them.(.)
Spurred by handbills which stated that agricultural workers were badly needed in California, the Joads, along with thousands of others, made their tortuous way, in a worn out vehicle acrothe plains toward the mountains. Grampa died of a stroke during their first overnight stop. And, to add to the general m
isery, returning migrants told the Joads that there was no work to be had in California, that conditions were even worse than they were in Oklahoma. But the dream of a bountiful West Coast urged the Joads onward.
《愤怒的葡萄》优秀读后感1
最近几天，一直在读《愤怒的葡萄》这本小说。在读之前，我对这个题目深深的怀疑，老师怎么会推荐我们读这本书呢？带着这么一种疑问去读，只是读了一遍，文章还算不短，最后略懂一点点，原来老师推荐这本书的目的不仅是去读一个关于大批农民破产、逃荒的故事，更重要的是从生态学的视角来理解这则故事。
从这本书的整体脉络看来，它是以乔德一家的逃亡或者说是寻找“幸福生活”的过程为主要思路来描写整个故事的。真实的反映了经济大萧条时期的美国社会和处在最底层的广大农民的苦难生活，另外，作者还以独特的方式表现出了人与土地的相互依存关系和对人类生存环境的关注与思索。
在第一章的时候主要是以自然环境描写来渲染气氛，让人们不知不觉的产生一种对当时的环境（包括自然环境和自然环境）理解。如：“风又吹着干枯的玉米，还一阵紧似一阵。大路上又尘土飞扬，而后的玉米地里卷起一股股灰色的烟雾。夜间，凤贴着地面跑得更快，它挖松了玉米根四周的泥土，玉米秆一根根横倒在地上，标志着风向。”“一到夜晚就一团漆黑，星光透不过风沙，屋里的灯光也透不出窗户。”这些对玉米，对大路和对夜晚的描写，似乎是在说上帝对这片土地不是那么的公平，给它们的尽是一些风和沙尘暴，殊不知是另有原因的，从而引起读者对下文的兴趣。往下看，我们能够看到第二章的时候，小说的主人公之一乔德出场了，然后着重写汤姆具结释放之后回到家乡，发现家乡的样子完全变化了，原来的人都不见了，包括自己的家人，后来在慕莱的解释下，才知道家人去了哪里，村子里的好多人都去了西部的加利福尼亚洲去求生了，而自己也经历了一些不可思议的事情，其中最让他恨的莫过于看着整片的土地被拖拉机无情的`摧毁吧。“为了这块地，爷爷消灭了印第安人，爸爸消灭了蛇。我们也许可以消灭银行——银行比印第安人和蛇更可恶呢。”农业资本家为了获取最大利润，不断地增加机器。在美国，随着技术的进步，机器对土地的威胁越来越大。越来越多的拖拉机毫不留情的把房屋铲平，把土地占领，使得原本住在这片土地的中低级佃农们纷纷破产，流离失所，之后不得不去西部的的加利福尼亚洲去寻找美丽的生活的故事。他们一路上历经挫折，好不容易到了加利福尼亚，却发现那里的生活远不如理想中的好，然而现实是残酷的，他们也只能够安于现状去为别人干一些廉价的劳动力的活，所得却只能够他们一家糊口，根本没有一点点的富余可言。难道这就是所谓的美好生活吗？从文章中主人公们的表现以及所表现的心情看来，答案当然是否定的。
说到这则故事，确实是感人的，而且很具有批判与讽刺意义，但是从生态角度来分析这篇文章，似乎意义会更大一些。
书中的人与土地是紧密联系在一起的。当现代化的农业用拖拉机把他们赶走时，他们愤怒地抗议：“地是我们量出来的，也是我们开垦出来的。我们在这地上出生，在这地上卖命，在这地上死去。”土地是他们的生命，是他们的母亲，是他们的一切，他们不愿离开这里的土地。当土地受到蹂躏，被大型拖拉机碾过时人们会感到撕心裂肺般难受。”从这里面我们可以看出来土地死亡的原因既有人类的无知和贪婪，又有现代技术和现代工业的蹂躏。悲哀的土地和悲哀的自然很需要人类的同情和关爱！但是事实往往是相反的，对土地无限的开垦和无限的索取最后带来的只是肆虐的沙尘暴和无边的沙漠。我想这不是人类想要的结果吧！有一段话描写的很好：人坐在这机器里，既看不见土地的真面目，也闻不到土地的气息，两脚踏不到泥土，也感觉不到大地的温暖和力量，人与土地的关系便消失了。“庄稼生长起来和收割的时候，没有人用手指头捏碎过一撮泥土，让土屑从他的指尖当中漏下去。没有人接触过种子，或是渴望它成长起来。人们吃着并非他们所种植的东西，大家跟面包都没什么关系了。土地在铁的机器底下受苦受难，在机器底下渐渐死去，因为既没有人爱它，也没有人恨它；既没有谁为它祈祷，也没有谁诅咒它。”人与土地的自然关系被割裂，不仅土地遭受磨难，而人们也变成了空有躯壳的机器。
同是生态系统中的必要元素，人类必须依赖于自然，自然环境的恶化自然会严重危害人类的生存。这就要求人类务必要尊重自然的价值，在利用和开发自然的时候做到热爱自然和保护自然，实现人与自然和谐和共赢。
然而在作者笔下，他虽然严厉的谴责了人类的无知和贪婪，但是还是向读者展示了自然的生命与活力的。他满怀深情地描述在阳光照射在草地上，草地是暖洋洋的，草的阴影里有各种昆虫在活动，蚂蚁和蚁狮忙着布置扑捉昆虫的陷阱，蚱蜢向空中跳起，轻轻地拍一拍翅儿，潮虫用许多细脚像犰狳一般慢腾腾地踱步。”在作者眼里，尽管尘暴带来了灾难，自然界里的生命却是那样美好可爱。自然赋予人类的东西是那么美好，人类还有什么理由去破坏这种和谐和平衡呢？
在文章的最后，我们可以看到，原本能够为当地居民提供数以万计的自然资源，也足够这些流浪农民生存延续下去的加利福尼亚洲，却因为大农场主、大资本家贪婪的开发已经遭到严重的破坏。伴随着农产品大丰收，价格受大地主、大银行家的控制大幅下跌，许多当地的小农场主们连采摘的工钱都出不起，只能眼看着果子在枝头上腐烂，眼看着债务像潮水一般涌来。等到第二年，资不抵债的小农场主们也会加入到失业的行列。而他们的农场或是果园，就要被吞并到大地产里去。但是这种大农场里面产出来的果子，农场主们不可能完全免费的去供给那些无家可归的人去吃，他们宁可这些果子烂掉，也不愿意拿一个去拯救受苦的农民，这个世界的性质已经变化了。变成了一部分人的世界…这是人类对自然无限的贪婪的后果。
以上就是我读了这篇小说之后的感受，怎么说呢，人与自然还是和谐一点好，尊重自然的同时也是尊重自己，我是这么想的。试看，近十年来，由于人类过度利用自然资源，环境受到的重创也是大家有目共睹的：酸雨、臭氧空洞、温室效应……以及他们所带来的严重后果，都是我们人类在向大自然索取的同时对她的伤害，也有说法说那些后果就是大自然在报复人类，或许真是这样子。如果人类一直这么无节制，一直只知道索取，不知道回报，那么人类与自然的和谐局面一旦被打破，就一定会进入一个恶性循环，这种后果是不堪设想的。“保护环境，爱护环境，是我们人类的共同责任。”这句从小听到现在的话，还是要被提到重要日程的。为了人类的未来，可持续发展也必须被提到重要的日程。
《愤怒的葡萄》优秀读后感2
《愤怒的葡萄》描述的是一个个发生在美国经济萧条时期的小故事，以小汤姆·约德一家人的经历为主要线索，向人们展现了在困难时期普通人的艰难生活与在此期间的思想觉醒。
我认为"愤怒的葡萄"有两个意义：一是指发生这些灾难的缘由是葡萄等水果多产，物多价廉，付出的成本比人们的收入还要高，结果越来越多的人破产；二是指破产的人们在艰难的生活中意识到"改变现状最重要的是做什么",他们慢慢觉醒，"葡萄"也越来越成熟。
破产的人们变成了流民，他们便到公路上去流浪了。路上到处拥挤着许多人，大家都像饿狼似的找工作，穷凶极恶地找工作。流浪、恐怖、饥饿以及所受的敌视，使他们融为一体，团结起来了，也使得愤怒在人流中开始酝酿。这边的流民们挨着饿，那边的大业主们却为了保持物价，不惜把各种食物毁掉，政府也派出士兵在旁协助。流民们只能眼睁睁看着"救命粮食"被烧了、被埋了。一股越来越强烈的怒火闪现在饥饿的人们那目睹这场大失败的眼睛里头。愤怒的葡萄充塞着人们的心灵，在那里成长起来，结得沉甸甸的，准备着收获期的来临。
小汤姆·约德一家在流浪的过程中，经历了一个又一个的打击、背弃：爷爷、奶奶的离世，朋友牧师凯浽的无辜入狱，妹妹罗撒香的难产，哥哥诺亚、姐夫康尼的懦弱逃离，政府的冷漠，西部居民的歧视，大农业主的无止境的剥削……在艰难的生活中，家变得破碎，人情变得淡漠，生活的勇气似乎也少了；但是，生活还得继续，即使不为自己，也得为家人，为了他们可以生活得轻松一点，为了家的完整，只得起来战斗、起来争取……
小说中并没有关于流民们最后是否获得战斗的胜利，是否获得了平安、幸福的生活的内容，但在小说的最后有这样一句话："草的嫩芽从大地钻出来；没过几天，整个山头也变成淡绿色了，初春到了。"我们是否可以从这一环境描写得到这个"肯定"的答案呢？
希望所有受到过苦难、伤害的人到最后都能获得那简单的幸福……
