染雾英文读后感 篇一：《To Kill a Mockingbird》
"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee is a timeless classic that explores themes of racial injustice, moral courage, and the loss of innocence. Set in a small town in Alabama during the 1930s, the novel follows Scout Finch, a young girl who learns valuable life lessons from her father, Atticus Finch, a lawyer defending a black man accused of rape.
One of the most striking aspects of the novel is its portrayal of racial inequality and injustice. Through the character of Tom Robinson, a black man wrongly accused of a crime, the author highlights the deep-rooted prejudices and discrimination prevalent in society. Atticus, with his unwavering belief in justice and equality, becomes a symbol of moral courage as he fearlessly defends Tom despite the backlash from his community.
As I read the book, I couldn't help but be moved by the loss of innocence experienced by Scout and her brother Jem. They start off as naive children, unaware of the harsh realities of the world around them. However, as they witness the injustices faced by Tom and the prejudice displayed by their own community, they begin to question and challenge the societal norms. This loss of innocence is a powerful and poignant reminder of the harsh realities of life.
Furthermore, the novel delves into the importance of empathy and understanding. Atticus teaches his children the value of walking in someone else's shoes and seeing the world from their perspective. This message resonated with me, as it serves as a reminder that we should strive to be compassionate and understanding towards others, regardless of their race or background.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged novel that tackles important social issues. Harper Lee's writing is powerful and evocative, drawing the reader into the world of Maycomb and its inhabitants. The characters are well-developed and relatable, making it easy to become emotionally invested in their stories.
In conclusion, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a literary masterpiece that continues to resonate with readers even decades after its publication. It forces us to confront the uncomfortable truths of racism and injustice, while also reminding us of the importance of empathy and standing up for what is right. This novel is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of humanity and the complexities of society.
英文读后感 篇二：《The Great Gatsby》
"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a captivating novel that explores themes of wealth, love, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Set in the roaring 1920s, the story follows the enigmatic Jay Gatsby and his obsession with the beautiful and unattainable Daisy Buchanan.
One of the most striking aspects of the novel is its critique of the materialism and shallowness of the Jazz Age. The characters in the story are consumed by their desire for wealth and social status, often at the expense of genuine human connection. Gatsby, in particular, represents the tragic figure of a man who believes that wealth and possessions can bring him happiness and love.
As I read the book, I was struck by the symbolism and imagery used by Fitzgerald. The decadence and opulence of the parties at Gatsby's mansion, the green light at the end of Daisy's dock, and the ever-watchful eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg all contribute to the vivid and atmospheric setting of the novel. These literary devices not only enhance the storytelling but also convey deeper meanings and themes.
Furthermore, the novel explores the complexities of love and the illusions we create for ourselves. Gatsby's infatuation with Daisy is based on an idealized version of her that he has constructed in his mind. This unattainable love becomes the driving force behind his relentless pursuit of wealth and success. Through Gatsby's tragic fate, Fitzgerald reminds us of the dangers of living in a world of illusions and false promises.
"The Great Gatsby" is a beautifully written novel that captures the essence of the Jazz Age and the disillusionment of the American Dream. Fitzgerald's prose is poetic and lyrical, painting a vivid picture of a society obsessed with wealth and appearances. The characters are flawed and complex, making the story both relatable and thought-provoking.
In conclusion, "The Great Gatsby" is a timeless classic that explores themes of love, wealth, and the emptiness of material pursuits. Fitzgerald's writing is exquisite, transporting the reader to a different era and immersing them in the lives of his characters. This novel serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of obsession and the fleeting nature of the American Dream.
英文读后感 篇三
I have never been to Troy， but David Maule made me feel as if I were standing on the high wall of Troy， watching the fierce war。 Thanks to this British author， who adapted the famous Homer’s poem into a lively story， I found it easier to understand this story。
Though the story happened over 3000 years ago in a remote place， I was deeply fascinated by it。 The mysterious plot is one of the reasons why I loved The Story of Troy so much， yet I am more interested in the human heroes of the war。
Hector was the eldest son of king of Troy， Priam。 He was not only a real hero of Trojan， but was regarded the highest moral hero in Greek classic by later historians。
The war started because of the mischief of his brother， Paris， whom he didn’t appreciate。 However， since Hector was the mander of the Trojan army， he was obliged to fight with all force。 It was really a tragedy that such a valiant man died in the duel with another great warrior， Achilles。
It is natural to see death in a war。 As a famous Chinese parable says， “A life can be as slight as a piece of feather， or as weighty as Mount Tai。” Sometimes， one’s glory walks hand in hand with one’s doom。 Achilles was such a typical person。 His personal charm made The Story of Troy more attractive。
He was so crucial because his every appearance in a war encouraged his fellow soldiers and terrified the enemies。 Actually， Achilles was half-god who was almost invincible in people’s mind。 That’s why his name was memorized long after his death。
Besides the two great men， the wisdom of Odysseus also proved him to be a great hero。 He didn’t want to attend the war because he was happily married and had a lovely son。 However， since his country was allied to Mycenae， he had to take the mand given by the king of Mycenae。
I’m quite sure that the story of the wooden horse is widely known， however， few people know who thought of the brilliant idea， that’s why I admired Odysseus so much because he was the person who got the idea。 Thanks to the horse， the ten-year war came to an end at last。 If you want to know how the wooden horse worked， just read the book。
The ancient Greeks believed that the gods and goddesses also played important roles in the origin， process and ending of the whole story。
The story of the golden apple was such an example。
When Eris， the goddess of argument and disagreement， threw out the golden apple to a wedding ceremony on Mount Olympus， a dispute happened。 Hera， the queen of gods， Athena， the goddess of wisdom， and Aphrodite， the goddess of love and beauty， were all involved in the argument for the apple。
None of them was willing to give way， so they turned to Paris for a final judgment。 Tempted by Aphrodite’s beauty and promise， Paris handed the apple to her。 To keep her word， Aphrodite helped him to get Helen， the most beautiful woman in the world， as his wife。 That was the cause of the war。
Paris’s choice obviously annoyed the other two goddesses。 So during the war， they helped the Greek alliance army while some other gods， such as Apollo and Aphrodite， guarded Troy。
When Paris dueled with Helen’s former husband Menelaus， Aphrodite saved Paris when he was about to be finished off。
After the duel between those two people， there was a truce between the Greek alliance and Troy。 However， both Hera and Athena were not happy to see it。
Hera pursued her husband ZEUS:“ Now， will you send Athena to make the Troyjans break the peace?”(Page 22) Then with Zeus’s permission， Athena went down to start the war again and finally she brought the Greeks to success。
From the whole story， we can see that in ancient Greeks’ view， gods sometimes played a much more important role in their life。 However， with the rapid development of science， we have learned that the Greek gods never existed。 This is why a recent movie of Troy has not mentioned a single god。
Everything happened due to men’s ambition， love， loyalty or jealousy。 With those emotion and people’s effort， we human beings can acplish wonders and be master of the world。
God are of less importance than they used to be。 Nonetheless， the gods and goddesses made The Story of Troy more mysterious and marvelous。
I have learnt from the book more than the wonderful story of history， love and war。 I believe that human can determine their destiny by their own。 I highly remend this book to my friends with the same interest。

Recently I have read a famous Chinese classical novel-The romance of the Three Kingdoms and I felt benefit a lot。 Let me tell you about my feelings。
The romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the four great Chinese master pieces。 It was written by Luo Guanzhong， who was born in 1330。 It describes nearly 200 characters and tells the story from the late Eastern Han dynasty to the unified of Jin dynasty。
The minute I started to read this book， I was deeply impressed by the sentence at the beginning of the novel: "The empire， long pided， must unite; long united， must pide。" It is so philosophical。 It reflected the main history of the Three Kingdoms， from the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans to the replacement of the pision of the country into Three Kingdoms (Wei， Shu and Wu) by the Jin Dynasty。 In these periods， it showed a lot of heroic deeds， and what the heroes did had made a brilliant history。 In this novel， the hero I admire mostly is Guan Yu， the general of Shu。
"A man of enormous height， nine spans tall， with a two-foot-long beard flowing from his rich， ruddy cheeks。 He had glistening lips， eyes sweeping sharply back like those of the crimson-faced phoenix， and brows like nestling silkworms。 His stature was imposing， his bearing awesome。" This is Guan Yu's appearance。 He was called as hero not only because of his handsome looking， but because of his precious characters。
He is the embodiment of loyalty， wisdom and bravery。 Once， when Guan Yu was having a battle with Cao Cao (the Master of Wei)， he lost connection with Liu Bei(the Master of Shu)， and finally he had to surrender because Liu Bei's family was with him。 Cao Cao appreciated Guan Yu's talents， he provided a fabulous palace and lots of money to Guan Yu。 Despite Guan Yu was taken good care of in the Cao Cao’s camp， but his heart was still with the Liu Bei’s camp。 He had never given up looking for his master。 As soon as he got the news of Liu Bei， Guan Yu had forced five passes and slew six captains， finally he found his master。 His behavior showed not only his loyalty to his master but also his bravery。
Admittedly， Guan Yu's death is also a lamentable。 Because of his placency， he looked down on the army of Wu， lost Jingzhou (an important City)， finally， he flopped， and was killed by his personal enemy。
With his personal likes and dislikes， regardless of the consequences， it led to the disruption of the alliance between Wu and Shu， the whole situation was changed greatly。
Guan Yu’s lesson tells us: No matter how talented you are， you’d better remain modest and be humble。
This is a great novel that depicts the countless legendary stories。 We can learn not only the characters of the heroes， but also the political and military strategies。 It is a best way to experience the profound Chinese ancient culture。
