My thoughts after reading Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (only read the first half of the book)

Hope this is helpful to you: Thoughts after reading "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea"

Opening "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", I was curious and met the protagonist of the book, the explorer and naturalist A Together with Yunus, they embarked on the legendary submarine journey on the Nautilus submarine. Together we traveled around the Pacific, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean, Atlantic, Antarctic and Arctic oceans, and encountered many rare undersea animals and plants, as well as undersea caves, secret passages, ruins, etc. It taught me a lot of scientific, cultural and geographical knowledge, especially the refraction of light, the classification and collection of pearls, and the structure of submarines... These things have now become a reality. I admire the author Jules Verne. His imagination was able to foresee the future world in a society that had not yet invented electric light. He combined science with stories to create a magical underwater world.

Captain Nemo of the Nautilus is a mysterious character, with a gloomy personality but a wealth of knowledge. He can repay tens of billions of national debt for France; he will cry silently when seeing his friends die; he will give millions of gold to the poor; he will shelter all those who hate the land; he will give pockets full of pearls to the poor. Pearl diver; will escape from humans and carry out terrible revenge... Captain Nemo has a deep-rooted distrust of humans. His heart is filled with endless pain, but he is also a kind person.

When the Antarctic was deprived of oxygen, there was only a trace of air in the piggy bank on the diving suit. At that time, they almost collapsed due to lack of air. At this time, Captain Nemo did not suck the last breath of air to sustain life, but left the chance of survival to the professor. He was willing to sacrifice his own life for the lives of others. His actions moved countless readers and also moved me.

In the fascinating story, the author also warns people: while seeing the benefits of science and technology to mankind, we should also pay attention to preventing behaviors that are exploited and endanger mankind's own crisis. Jules Verne proposed the need to care for seals, whales and other marine creatures, and condemned the concept of indiscriminate killing and fishing... Faced with the call of the prophet two hundred years ago, I fell into deeper thinking: This book is just Let readers experience rich and colorful adventures and gain legendary knowledge? No, it is to inspire us and let our hearts have greater gains in natural science.

Jules Verne is telling us: There is nothing impossible, only the unimaginable - only with a certain scientific background at the time can we have imagination that is derived from reality or is higher than reality. Otherwise, it is not science fiction but just fantasy; and if there is no imagination, no purpose, no direction, there will be no scientific progress.

Two:

I like Verne’s works very much. I have read "The Mysterious Island" written by him before, and I was very shocked. The scenes and characters' lives he describes can really be described as "lifelike". Who would have thought that this was pure science fiction? "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" is the second part of his trilogy. The style is very similar to "The Mysterious Island" I watched as a child. The story told in this science fiction novel is truly daring. Verne wrote in the first person the experiences of French biologist Aronnax, his servant Conseil, and Canadian Ned Land after they accidentally entered the "Nautilus". Although Verne never went to the sea, there is no trace of hypocrisy in his articles. On the contrary, the real and thrilling adventures will make people breathless. Verne was a smart man. Some may say that he was showing off his knowledge, but he was indeed very intelligent in integrating a lot of scientific knowledge into his text. If you look closely, he actually covered many fields. Such as biology, meteorology, physics, chemistry, etc. From this we can see that it is not surprising that he can write the underwater world so vividly and beautifully. The reason why I like and admire "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" very much is that it has many close friends. Today's primary and secondary school students are very avant-garde and don't like to read traditional classics. This includes me. Not only do I not like the novels and classical prose recommended by the new Chinese curriculum standards, but I also feel a little disgusted. In my opinion, these so-called famous writers' writings are extremely boring. Many of their sentences are incoherent and seem to be showing off their literary talents.

But "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" is different. Although it is a recommended book in the new Chinese language curriculum standard, it is also a very good work in itself. Its style is comparable to the contemporary book series "Tiger Squad" and "Goosebumps" which are popular all over the world. It is indeed remarkable that a foreign work written in the 1980s still has so many close friends in the contemporary era. Apart from anything else, let’s talk about the content and plot! At the beginning of the novel, I walked into the world it described. The flying giant reefs and huge monsters all made me excited to read. After Frenchmen Aronnax, Conseil and whaler Ned Land entered the mysterious "Nautilus", they made a similar round-the-world trip on the bottom of the sea with Captain Nemo. The world under the sea is very wonderful. I remember the chapter "Undersea Forest". Although there were no real trees, I enjoyed the soft coral reefs in the sea very much. I seemed to be able to see the fluttering underwater creatures when I closed my eyes. The article is also thrilling, among which the experience of hypoxia trapped under the ice in Antarctica is the most exciting. Several people couldn't breathe fresh oxygen at the bottom of the sea. The description of the symptoms of hypoxia made me feel uncomfortable. I started breathing oxygen in big mouths. It also made me sincerely sigh: It's great that people can be alive! Although the end of the article made me a little confused, I was really immersed in this excellent work. In fact, I don’t think the people in the article are obviously good or bad, including Captain Nemo. Captain Nemo can be said to be a legendary figure. He hid the secret from the world and built the "Nautilus" with extraordinary performance, and explored the bottom of the sea with so many loyal sailors. This is not something ordinary people can accomplish. Maybe his thinking is a little distorted, his approach is a little extreme, and his behavior is escaping. But he is still a warrior, a warrior who respects nature. His disappearance was also poignant and made my nose feel sore after watching it. In any case, the adventure of the brave man in the book made me deeply fall in love with the vast ocean, and made me understand my outlook on life and the world better.
