Book Review+Reading Experience 1

Last week, I read Dickens' classic novel Great Expectations. Simply put, this is the story of a little boy who saved a person and changed his life. When the truth appears, great expectations are instantly disillusioned, leaving behind fear and anxiety, and finally ushering in a new life.

Pip lost his parents when he was young and had to live with his sister's family. Brother-in-law Joe is a blacksmith. Pip's future can be seen. When he grows up, he will learn to strike while the iron is hot from his brother-in-law. Fate didn't follow the script, and Pip met Miss Havisham by chance. Miss Havisham was abandoned by her husband on the eve of her wedding and has lived alone for many years. Estella is an orphan adopted by Miss Havisham. She is beautiful but heartless. Pip, a teenager, soon fell in love with Estella, but Estella played with him in applause. The turning point appeared again. Pip suddenly received the news that he could inherit a large sum of money after studying while the iron is hot with his brother-in-law for two years. He can go to London to study and inherit when he is old. Pip always thinks that Miss Havisham is funding him to satisfy him and Estella, and he is always full of expectations. In London, Pip started his senior life, went to the theatre, squandered money and even hired a child to serve him. However, he and Estella still made no progress. His living environment also changed his mentality, and he avoided the life in the blacksmith shop in the past. Although he understands his brother-in-law Joe's kindness, he doesn't want to associate with him.

The disillusionment of great expectations came quickly. The person who funded his money was actually a fugitive, Magwitch. The fugitive found Pip and told him the truth about his funding for Pip. It turned out that Pip had saved Magwitch when he was young. In order to pay off his debts, Magwitch worked hard overseas and sent money back to Pip to live. Magwitch wants to see Pip become human. He sneaked back to China as a fugitive and could be caught at any time. Pip was in fear and anxiety, and he was worried that Magwitch would be caught. He suddenly realized that it was not Havisham who funded him. Estella was indifferent to him and really didn't like him. Everything starts all over again, and Pip tries to help Magwitch leave London and go to other cities to escape capture. In the end, Magwitch was arrested, and Pip refused to inherit Magwitch's legacy and handed it all over to the court. Pip fell ill under so many blows. It was his brother-in-law who took care of him when he was dying of a fever.

After these twists and turns, Pip returned to the original point, but his mentality changed completely. From the beginning, relying on my sister's family to support my family was worthless. Later, some people funded profligacy and forgot their loved ones. Finally, after the disillusionment of high expectations, they live in fear. Finally, through this series of changes, Pip understood the true affection and friendship, returned to a simple life and gained a new life. Many things in life are irreplaceable by money.

I admire Dickens very much. He showed you the whole society at that time. Every character in it is flesh and blood, which deserves careful consideration, but what I said is only one thousandth.

Book Review+Reading Experience II

When I first read Yu's works, I was deeply attracted. Cultural Journey is Yu's first travel prose. The main purpose of this book is to find the cultural soul by relying on mountains, water and things, and to explore the historical fate of China culture and the historical composition of China literati. Yu Xiansheng thought about the profound cultural heritage of our ancient nation with his unique observation and insight.

Write a book for this "hard journey" of traveling China culture with exquisite brushwork. Yes, because there are too many bitterness and bitterness that I can't bear to experience personally, it adds a flavor to this book which records the thousand-year-old culture of China.

He brought us into the river of cultural consciousness step by step with wonderful words, which made us think and think deeply. In his works, history is so deep and desolate.

Follow the author into the book, because of the promotion of history and culture, we have to move forward ... The caves in the Mogao Grottoes are still spectacular, and the stone statues and murals are still silent. Follow the author and watch the changes of light and shadow projected on the stone wall quietly, just as they watch the changes of Dunhuang for thousands of years. The first excavation thousands of years ago opened the glory of the Mogao Grottoes after thousands of years. It suffered a disaster. Today, many years later, that mysterious and satisfying cave can attract everyone's attention, not because of its dazzling appearance, but because of its profound humanity.

Reading "Cultural Journey" is not to appreciate the scenery, but to review the vicissitudes of history, sigh the sadness, and also to inspire life. Looking at the Mogao Grottoes is not to look at the specimens of a thousand years, but to look at the life that has lived for a thousand years.

? The Story of the Sahara: Book Review

? The story of the Sahara is my first contact with the writer San Mao. I have heard a lot about Sanmao, but this is the only one who really reads her works carefully. Seriously, I'm not interested in reading anything. I will choose this book because of its title. I like traveling and seeing the characteristics of various places. The Sahara Desert aroused my curiosity about it.

? The Story of the Sahara tells a series of interesting life stories that Sanmao experienced in a remote desert. In this book, I saw a free and easy, dreamy and persistent San Mao. It's really hard to imagine that San Mao and Jose can still live happily in the hot and scarce desert. As soon as Sanmao came to the desert, Jose took Sanmao to the place where they lived. There is a square hole in the middle of the house, a big one facing the street, and a small one that can't hold a big bed. There is only a place to enter the door, and there is a horizontal space as wide as the arm. The kitchen is the size of four newspapers tiled together, with a dirty yellow cracked sink, a cement platform and a simple bathroom. The floor is concrete and uneven, and the walls are hollow bricks without lime. For this humble hut, Sanmao did not lose heart, but instead ignited confidence in life. San Mao and Jose use their own strength to transform their houses. During the day, Jose works outside, and Sanmao goes to the market alone to drag back the wood thrown by others on the side of the road and keep it every few hours. Little did she know that wood turned out to be a wooden box for coffins. After learning the truth, they laughed and liked their unusual new table better. There are many such jokes, but behind their fun, there are many unknown sorrows that we can't understand.

What is indispensable in the desert is, of course, the local people there-Saharans. Saharans look extremely dirty and untidy, and unclean clothes and smells give people an illusion. In the chapter "Watching Bath in the Desert", it is even more jaw-dropping. The bather scraped himself with a small stone, and all the black slurry that had not bathed for a long time was scraped out. The whole bath hall is full of disgusting things, which can't help but make people sick. Sanmao and Jose are kind to people, not stingy, so that neighbors can make full use of them. They borrow all kinds of strange things, but they don't return them. Basically, except for Sanmao's toothbrush and Sanmao's husband, everything at home is borrowed. If you don't lend it to them, they will say it hurts their self-esteem. What a hateful and funny Saharan. At the same time they are ignorant people. In Soul Collection, Sanmao took photos of women in the desert, but the man in this family said Sanmao took their souls and thought they were going to die. When San Mao took out the mirror and shone in front of the old man, they looked at the mirror and almost shouted out of the car. It can be seen that they are ignorant, living in the vast desert, dealing with the vast loess, and their minds are full of ignorant statements, which is really pitiful.

Local people are backward and superstitious, some are kind-hearted, but more people tend to put their own interests first. The article "Dumb Slave" embodies this point well. This one is also my favorite and most touching one in this book. The dumb slave family has to work for the rich man all their lives. In order to earn money for themselves, the local rich peasants and landlords sent slaves at will, but Sanmao didn't like this kind of human rights violation, ignored the advice of the local people and became good friends with dumb slaves. She often sends food to the dumb slave, invites him home, and secretly gives him money. The dumb slave was very grateful and invited San Mao and Jose to his home. Dumb slave, he is the best plasterer. With these skills, he should live a good life, but he is a slave and doomed to poverty. But he didn't despair of life, because he had a home. Although his wife is an idiot, everything he does is for the family. Although everything he did was because he was a slave, as he said to himself, "My body is not free, but my heart is free." A physically bound person can say such a thing, and his heart is strong enough. However, his ultimate fate was to escape, but he was used by the rich man for business transactions. When Sanmao learned that the dumb slave had left, Sanmao cried and put a big colorful blanket on his shoulder, but the dumb slave broke free and gave everything to his wife and children. He tried to talk to his wife, but he couldn't make a sound. San Mao cried and watched the dumb slave leave, but she could only watch but could not help the dumb slave out of the desperate situation of separation.

What is more important in this book is love, which is Jose's sincere love for Sanmao. When others think that San Mao's behavior is a joke, only Jose didn't laugh at her, didn't stop her, and didn't drag her down. When Sanmao desperately came to the Sahara, Jose just silently packed his bags and found a job in the desert, waiting for Sanmao to set foot on that land. Jose's love for Sanmao is not vigorous, but it is ordinary and great. Sanmao is a stubborn woman who goes her own way, but when someone is willing to suffer for her in the desert, this stubborn woman decides to wander with that person for life. This plain and far-reaching combination means never giving up. On that thrilling night in the barren hills, Sanmao did not choose to leave, but tried her best to save her beloved husband. At the moment when the spell made San Mao uncomfortable, Jose was always by her side, flustered by worry. This is simple but profound love. As San Mao said, "A moth to a fire must be extremely happy and happy." This kind of love is awesome.

Reading the whole book makes me feel like packing my bags and traveling around the world at once, but I'm not as decisive as Sanmao. A woman, just because of her childhood dreams and half of her homesickness, resolutely packed her bags and set foot on the mysterious desert that is unknown but yearning for. No hesitation, no hesitation, regardless of everyone's surprised eyes. What a casual woman that should be. Even she said to herself, "I never felt like a member of all sentient beings in this world." I often have to run out of the track of ordinary life and do things that cannot explain why. " Sanmao is very clever. She won't let herself be bound in a narrow world. She yearns for freedom and likes to go her own way. That's why there is a story about Sahara, and that's why there is a desert that she decorated so beautifully. We must understand that without a firm heart and extraordinary courage, we can never get rid of the shackles of the world and can only be ourselves. Even if there is, it won't last. But Sanmao did it. I also want to go my own way like San Mao. I have read a book before, and there is a sentence in the book that I like very much. When a person travels, he thinks he sees more of the world, but in fact he sees himself most clearly. A person doesn't want to try and never knows his potential. What he encountered in his journey is unknown, and there are countless things waiting for him to explore. Why not go out and see a different world while he is young?

I really want to see the outside world, but I must enrich myself and have the ability to deal with the unknown world. I believe that one day I will realize my dream.

Book Review+Reading Reflection 4

The book "Silent Confessions" will give me much more feelings than "Bookstore on the Island". Why do you want to compare these two books? Because the reading time is very close, and because some people say that these two books are similar in type.

Because Amazon revised its recommendation, this book explores the identity crisis, life achievements, race, gender, family and personal path. What impressed me most was not the family relationship in this article, but the contradiction between Marilyn's dream and family. She has always had a dream, and she has paid a lot for this dream. When her personality is in a society where the status of women is still relatively low, how brave she is to be "different".

However, she met him, a professor with a different nationality from hers. In her opinion, he was "different". Then she got married because she was pregnant. After marriage, she may forget her dreams for a while, and then she realizes that she has nothing to do and her husband prevents her from going out to work. After her mother died, she remembered her mother's life and swore to herself that she would never live like her mother.

She wanted to be an assistant in the laboratory, but the man replied with a smile that she didn't understand that she was serious because she had children and a husband to take care of. Seeing there, I felt sorry for her, and at the same time I was afraid of my possible marriage life. With the bondage of family, how to pursue what you want to do? Because even in modern times, most of them are still the concept of "men are outside the house and women are inside". Being a "housewife", "taking care of my husband and educating my children" is not my life pursuit.

Seeing that she finally met a woman who did what she had been pursuing, she felt incredible. She thought she could have done it, so when she wanted to carry out her original plan, I was happy for her and thought her personality was great. Unfortunately, in the end, she put down her plan because of pregnancy and other constraints, and pinned what she wanted to do but could not do on her daughter. I feel very sad, but very realistic.

There is a passage in the article that says, "You used to love so much, so you had expectations, but in the end you had nothing. The child doesn't need you, and the husband doesn't want you. In the end, only you are left, and there is an empty room. " This is very sad, and it is also the sorrow of a woman's life. I don't want to live like this. Even if I am alone and have a vacant room, I will live happily. Perhaps because it is related to my life, I am most impressed.

For family relations, I think more about the mode of getting along with children and the way of education in the future. Because my family relationship is relatively harmonious and there are not so many crises, I always feel very warm, but we lack communication. Of course, I am not dissatisfied, because of the possible "son preference" and their traditional ideas. I also wonder if I went to college because I wanted to, or because they wanted me to. Actually, I thought about letting go, but I'm glad I didn't let go at the moment. Maybe this has both advantages and disadvantages.

There are still many feelings to write. Go on.

Truth in the Ordinary ―― Comment on The Grass House

? Straw House is the first novel by Cao Wenxuan that I read. The original intention of buying this book is just strange. What's there to write about in a thatched cottage? But when I first read this book, I was deeply moved by the sincere feelings contained in it. It is said that this book is a children's book, but it also contains tangled feelings in the adult world, but from the perspective of children, those feelings are pure and curious. Unlike all the people in the book, Yau Ma Tei is full of aura. It is peaceful, but it is shrouded in mystery. I'm afraid that's beyond our understanding. The protagonist Sang Sang's six-year primary school life envied Du Xiaokang, whose family was well-off, and seemed to have a soft spot for the hazy paper moon, and made a kind mockery of the bare land crane. ...

All this is like a childhood that everyone will miss. I feel that in this book, Paper Moon should be a girl with too many secrets, but she is purer than other children in the book. There are many questions about her life. Who is her father? Why didn't her mother say anything? But she seems to be born with extraordinary bookishness, which completely covers up these criticisms and doubts. Her relationship with Sang Sang is one of the most touching parts in the book. The way she looked at Sang Sang, and her concern for Sang Sang when she had a strange disease, made everyone understand that she had understood it long ago.

The last chapter of the book is about the changes that have taken place around Sangsang after his strange illness: Sancho, a strict father, feels deeply guilty for his previous indifference to Sangsang, and even beats Sangsang for a little honor; Wen Youju, a female teacher, encouraged Sang Sang to bravely cope with all the difficulties in life. The students looked at Sang Sang with reluctance and pity in their eyes ... Usually their feelings may not be very good, but when they were about to leave, everyone was inexplicably sad. Isn't that how feelings sprout? Emotion is of course the most prominent part of the book, but the description of the scenery in the hut also plays an important role in setting off feelings. For example, when Sang Sang and his father went to the city to see a doctor, they described the scene of light rain at night. At first, the feeling of sadness was not obvious, so this writing immediately showed the confusion and sadness in Sang Sang's heart to the readers, so that the readers and the protagonist felt the sadness and joy together. Also, on the title page of the first page of the book, there is a description of the ending, which is the scene of Sang Sang leaving Yau Ma Tei, where he has established feelings. He can't tell how sad he is, but a sadness slowly emerges in his heart. Do you think the literary realm of this book can be low? In Yau Ma Tei, rows of straw houses reflecting metallic luster in the sun contain the most sincere feelings.
