The Old Man and the Sea I read the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea" and admired the will of the old fisherman in the novel, who taught me that a person must have the spirit of perseverance in order to achieve success.

After a few days of struggling with the fish, the old fisherman realizes that it is a big marlin that exceeds his own fishing boat by several times, and although he knows that it is difficult to win, he still does not give up.

Think about them, in a dangerous situation, they were sober-minded and used their wisdom to overcome the difficulties. What about me?

It clearly depicts the social roots and causes of the uprising, and successfully portrays the vivid images of the uprising heroes, and unfolds the process of the uprising through their different paths of resistance, as well as concretely reveals the inner reasons for the failure of the uprising. The heroes embarked on the path of revolt for different reasons and under different circumstances, but many of them were **** the same when it came to the point of being forced to go to Liangshan.

Austen's Pride and Prejudice, as she herself called it, is a fine carving on two inches of ivory, and it is Austen's masterpiece. This novel of marital problems is one of the most popular of the author's works and her favorite. The work vividly reflects the life and customs of the English countryside, which was in a conservative and closed state at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries. The novels, which are like social pictures, not only attracted a large number of readers at that time, but still give readers a unique artistic enjoyment today. She was the first novelist to realistically depict the commonplace in everyday life, and played a pivotal role in the history of the English novel.　　The whole work does not have a torrent of momentum, no twists and turns of the plot, but it is this simplicity, exquisite y attracted us. Austen spent almost all of her short life in the English countryside, and perhaps it was the simple, quiet atmosphere around her that fostered her aura of calmness. It is not because of her lack of experience that her ability to analyze things should be doubted, and those who have read Pride and Prejudice will be impressed by her delicate and sensitive emotions. At the time of writing Pride and Prejudice, she was only a teenage girl, isn't it a kind of talent? It's true that she seldom touched the "outside world", but the existence of thoughts, imagination, and all this is enough.　　8.

"How steel is made" this novel I have read several times during the holidays, it is one of my favorite extracurricular reading material, which is about the meaning of life, I can recite it!　　How should a person live in order to have meaning? Paul Kochagin answered this question with his actions. After he was crippled, Paul was not discouraged, but also studied hard, worked hard, and began to create literature. Later, he lost his eyesight, which was a heavy blow to the paralyzed man. But he took up the pen with determination, groped and insisted on writing, and every word he wrote, he had to work extremely hard. After tenacious efforts, he finally succeeded in writing the first few chapters of his novel "Born in the Storm". Reading, reading, I can not help but tears, heart pounding. Paul Kochagin's resolute face, as if in front of my eyes. Paul such an ordinary warrior, there are stronger than steel will, this is what power to inspire him I read the book, in the book I finally understand, this is the greatest, the most magnificent ****productivist cause in the call for him to create a miracle, this is his tenacity to fight with the power of disease.　　10. Turning to the Biography of Famous Men, there is this passage in the first introduction: "How heavy is the air around us. The old Europa is stupefied in an atmosphere of turbulence and corruption, where vulgar materialism suppresses thought and obstructs governmental and individual action. The society is in a state of perverse and lowly self-interest, and mankind is gasping for breath. Open the windows! Let the air of freedom come back in! Breathe in the breath of heroes."　　Obviously, Romero wants to correct the bias of the times with the spirit of heroism. For Román Roland, true heroism, true greatness, is pain and solitude, the struggle of the self against the invisible. In the same quotation he adds, "It is not the man who excels by thought or force that I call a hero; but only the man who is great by heart." It is to the agonizing hearts of heroic great men that he clings, making victory over suffering a shining measure of heroism. And his Biographies of Famous Men is a biography revealing the hearts and minds of three suffering heroes of human history: the great 19th-century German musician Beethoven, the famous Renaissance-era Italian sculptor Michelangelo, and the Russian literary giant Tolstoy. He ends his biography of Beethoven with these words, "An unfortunate man, poor, crippled, lonely, caused by pain, to whom the world gave no joy, created joy to give to the world; he forged joy out of his sufferings, as if he had illustrated it with that grand phrase - that which can sum up his life, and may be the motto of all valiant hearts: pain for welcome." Indeed, "pain for joy" is the vision with which Román Roland traces the destiny of Beethoven's life, and it is this phrase that constitutes the intrinsic tension and soul-stirring intellectual fascination of Beethoven's biography. What supported Beethoven? It is the quality of not bowing to royalty, the determination not to be bought by money, and the courage to hold fate by the throat! It is by relying on these extraordinary spiritual forces that Beethoven crossed the numerous painful and dangerous peaks of his life and reached the most sober comprehension of life. If "Beethoven's biography" is the call of heroism, is the force of the ode, then "Tolstoy's biography" is a requiem, a dirge, a funeral song. Beethoven's great pain is because he suffered bad luck in the prime of life, Tolstoy's great pain in his own subjective choice of will. The Resurrection is another masterpiece of Tolstoy in his twilight years, as Romero said, "His wife, children, friends and enemies did not understand him, and they all thought that he was Don Quixote because they could not see the enemy with whom he was struggling, and in fact this enemy was himself." "Tolstoy, do you live according to the doctrine you preach!" He replied bitterly, "I am ashamed to desire it, I am a sinner, I deserve to be scorned." Finally, in the twilight of his 82nd year, Tolstoy fled his home alone on a cold winter night and fell ill in a small, nameless town. While dying, he bawled his eyes out and said to the people guarding around him; "Millions of living beings on the earth are suffering; why is everyone here to take care of only one Lev Tolstoy?" In fact, Tolstoy issued a question to the living and a response to the suffering heart, where we clearly hear Beethoven's joyful singing of life again. This is Romero in the "biography of famous people" left us something eternal.　　11. Reading the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has benefited me a lot.　　First of all, I saw the popular poems like "The Rolling Yangtze River Passes East ......", and then the main text was introduced. The first sentence reads, "The world is divided and united for a long time, and united for a long time, and divided for a long time." This is not an unreasonable statement. Overall, it was an eye-opening experience for me after reading this book, and the above people gave me a deep feeling that they are worth learning from.　　A Tale of Two Cities. The book is overflowing with puzzles, and the author frames it with a series of fascinating stories set against the backdrop of the French Revolution in the eighteenth century. In a dark capitalist society, the peasant class and the working class endure the ruthless exploitation of the bourgeoisie. As the author puts it, "Prosperity and decline, certainty and suspicion, light and darkness, it is the dawn of sunny hope and the long night of gloom and disappointment, when men have everything and are empty-handed." And the main characters Sidney Carlton, Lucy Manette and Charles Darnay between the sincere feelings, become this masterpiece bright one.　　12. The Homeric Hymns is a glorious masterpiece of rich significance, which is both a perfect literary work and an important historical document for the study of ancient clan societies.　　It was officially written in the 6th century BC. It consists of two epics, the Iliad (also translated as the Ilion Chronicle) and the Odyssey (also translated as the Odyssey). The content of the epics comes from a 10-year war that took place at the end of the 12th century B.C. between the Achaeans in the southern region of the Greek islands and the Trojans in northern Asia Minor. After the end of the war, there were many folk legends, which celebrated the heroic deeds that emerged from the war in the form of short songs, intertwined with ancient Greek myths, which were recited orally by folk singers, passed down from generation to generation, and sung in clan residences during feasts or festivals. The Homeric Hymns have reached a very high level of achievement in all aspects, and are the jewels of ancient Greek literature, with an extremely far-reaching influence on later generations, making them a much-loved work.　　13.A few days ago, I read a fairy tale--"The Daughter of the Sea" which tells a touching story between a mermaid and a man.　　The main character in the fairy tale "The Daughter of the Sea" lives in the depths of the sea and is a mermaid. She spends more than three hundred years in the underwater world, and then turns into a bubble, ending her life of happiness. She gave up her life in the sea and endured the pain of turning her own fish tail into human legs. Then she saved a prince and fell in love with him, but the prince married a neighboring princess, and her hope was gone. If she continues to be the "Daughter of the Sea", she will be able to return to her family and her own world after stabbing the prince. But instead of doing that, she threw herself into the sea and turned into foam.　　I love The Daughter of the Sea. It taught me that life is precious. You have to be strong in front of everything and face it bravely. In this book, I not only know some beautiful stories, but also get great inspiration and education. In life, when I encounter difficulties, I have to be as strong as the little mermaid to face them. In my study, I also want to be as persistent as the little mermaid.　　14.Read "There is only one earth" feeling After reading the article "There is only one earth", I know: the earth is the mother of mankind, is the cradle of life.　　According to the astronauts who have the honor to fly into space, the Earth they see in space is a beautiful, crystalline and the only living planet, wrapped in a thin layer of watery blue veil around it. The Earth has always selflessly contributed to mankind, but because mankind does not know how to cherish, uncontrolled exploitation and random destruction, not only makes the natural resources of the Earth less and less, but also causes a series of ecological disasters, bringing threats to the survival of mankind. For example, in July 1995, an incident occurred in our country: several factories discharged sewage and smoke into the sea and the air in excessive quantities, resulting in the decline of a large number of acid rains and damage to large tracts of forests and farms. This polluted the environment and caused serious damage to natural resources.　　There is only one Earth. Citizens of the Earth, wake up! Let's protect our home, the Earth, together!!!!　　15. "Camel Xiangzi" after reading Finally finished reading "Camel Xiangzi", the mind can not help but think a thousand thoughts.　　Xiangzi, a kind and simple, to life with a camel general positive and tough spirit of people. He is an ordinary car driver, but not resting on his laurels, hoping that one day he can buy his own car and be an independent laborer. He strives and struggles for a better life. He was thrifty, he was simple, he was honorable, and he kept working hard for his dream. Three years later, his wish finally came true, but it wasn't long before the car was snatched away by the GIs. Soon after, the detectives of the reactionary government cheated all his savings again. Xiangzi, what a dreamer, gets a tragic end. Recognize constantly in the pursuit of, the pursuit of success, the pursuit of happiness, the pursuit of ...... and in the process of this pursuit, people are not careful, they will lose their own self, lost the original self, lost their original ideal. Just like a grain of angular stone, in order to pursue their dreams, picked into the turbulent river inside, along with the water all the way forward, constantly bumping, and finally, in order to survive, the original angle with the corner will be worn out.　　Life may also be such a process.　　What will tomorrow be like? No one knows. The only thing you can do now is to seize the day.　　16. It is the artistic summary of Tolstoy's long-term exploration of ideas, and it is the most comprehensive, profound and powerful novel in which he criticizes the Russian landlord-bourgeois society.　　 In it, Tolstoy makes a sharp and incomparable criticism of the landlord-bourgeois society and expresses his views on the state, the church, private land ownership and capitalism. With intense anger, he exposes the deep disasters brought to the people by the authoritarian system. Main characters: Maslova, Nehludov.　　In Tolstoy's face there is no such daunting expression as in all his works, portraits, photographs, no hardness of feeling due to the sharp lines of his features, no rigid yet dull look like a block of granite, no unlimited power that in his life subordinated all people to him - all these features are gone. And these features were there in the past, and at one time they were the very essential features of Tolstoy, but they disappeared with the passing of the years and the efforts of the man himself.　　Tolstoy, as he went through the course of his life with a near mathematical correctness, became very soft in character, very pure in feeling, and was left with a childlike goodness.　　17.Reading "A Distant Island" In the sub-catalog "Inner Growth" of "Growing Years", there is an article named "A Distant Island", which tells us the story of two children's inner growth.　　Once upon a time there were two children who longed for the mysterious and colorful island in the sea. But when they finally set foot on the island one day, they realized that it was nothing but a shapeless wilderness. They couldn't believe their eyes that this was the island they had longed for day and night. They went home very sad and never looked at the island again.　　After reading this article, I was y touched. From the obsessive fantasy of dreams to the gradual realization of the cold reality is also an important part of growing up. I remembered an essay I read in an essay selection before. It was about a writer who was about to graduate from elementary school and wanted to enter a major middle school. One night, the author's mother invited some teachers from a key middle school to her home for dinner and gave them gifts to help the author get into the key middle school. The author was y touched and amazed. Isn't it true that only those who do well in the exams can get into a key middle school? Why can some people who are not good at studying get into a key middle school? Adults said to the author: you are a child, you do not understand 18. "Jane Eyre" is contrary to the old format of traditional novels in which a gentle and beautiful woman is the protagonist and a romantic and touching love saga is the story, and it writes a story about a woman of low birth and mediocre appearance who fights against unfair destiny.　　The main character Jane Eyre is unfortunate, she lost her parents when she was young, and her only uncle who loved her and adopted her abandoned her too early. When she first entered the human world, she lived a miserable life of being a parasite and at the mercy of others, and suffered the pain of the coldness and warmth of human beings and the cruelty of the world. In order to escape the harsh reality, she put her feelings on her favorite books and nature. The book enriched her emotional world, cultivated her temperament, and the suffering and refinement of her will, so that she developed a resolute and stubborn, soft and strong character. Jane Eyre" for millions of oppressed lower-class civilians shouted out the voice of the heart, for thousands of years in the male-dominated society full of bullying sisters shouted out the voice of the heart, which is still the readers of the countries of the most favorite novels to read one of the main reasons.　　19. The Book of Insects is a fascinating work because the scientific encyclopedia is also literary, and every word in the text reflects the author's feelings and shows the unique personalities of the insects. The willow fly, like a miser, wears a short tuxedo that seems to be "missing fabric"; the little beetle "gives selflessly to its offspring, and worries about its children"; and the little sparrow, bitten by a spider, will also "eat happily. eat happily, and even cry like a baby if we are slow in feeding". What a lovely little creature! No wonder Lu Xun regarded "The Book of Insects" as a model for "speaking about insect life".　　Fabre had a strong interest in insects, so his Insects also made me feel as if I were an insect on the sidelines when I read it. Every insect has the same emotions as a human. For example, "The locusts, already panicked, had completely forgotten about the 'Thirty-Six Stratagems to Go' trick."　　The Book of Insects is Fabre with a lifetime of time and energy, he carefully observed the life of insects and the struggle for life and reproduction of the race, and will be observed into the detailed and accurate notes, and finally written into a book. Each of the ten volumes of The Book of Insects contains a number of chapters, each of which describes in detail and in depth the life of one or several kinds of insects: spiders, bees, praying mantis, scorpions, cicadas, beetles, crickets, and so on.　　20. "Dream of the Red Chamber" After reading Daiyu character unique rebellion and isolation, as well as the disdain for the world, so that she everywhere appears to be a maverick, outstanding. Flowers before reading the West Wing, no avoidance; do not like coquettish words, words with the heart to; advocate true feelings and true intentions, indifferent to fame and fortune ...... all of these, all make her like a lotus flower alone, always clinging to their own portion of innocence, the quality of the original clean and clean to go, such as the jasper as clear. With an ordinary person's eyes to see her, the most appreciated or Daiyu's poetry, spirit and wisdom. Daiyu every drink with her sisters to enjoy the flowers and poetry, always talent, the art of the crowd. Whether it is a young man listening to the rain song upstairs poetry, cold into the bone I want to immortal painting; or grass and trees yellow fall geese return to the bleak, flower gas can be a gentle solution to the feelings; all reflect her elegant and unassuming temperament of the poet. The most sigh is Daiyu's sentimental, thin red face. Daiyu's life, doomed to her loneliness, and her character, and doomed to her few sad. Even though the Grand View Garden in the people coming and going is not lively, but here she can rely on no relatives, no she can confide in the confidant, only the flirtatious and sentimental Baoyu let her heart secretly, but always suffer from loss. So she helplessly "the end of the day, where there is incense mound", sadly "March incense nest has been built, beam set of swallows heartless", sadly "flowers fly all over the sky, the red incense broken who pity! "and finally ended up with" a wisp of incense soul scattered with the wind, three more never come into the dream "of the bleak end.
