BOOK REPORT
—— Gulliver's Travels
In this short term, I have read Gulliver's Travel, which is written by Jonathan Swift—— a British writer. From the book, I really acquire a lot of knowledge which is unknown to me. For example, it makes me know more about British history in the seventeenth century and the eighteenth century. Before that I just know Britain becomes stronger and stronger at that time. It is Gullier's Travels that disclose the dark of the British society.
About the author and the background of the book
The book was published in 1726, was regarded as a children's literary works, but it is actually attacked the British social degradation and corruption of satirical writing. Because at that time, British society was rather dark.
Jonathan Swift was a son of the English lawyer Jonathan Swift. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, on November 30, 1667. He grew up there under the care of his uncle. Then he attended Trinity College when he was fourteen. And he stayed there for seven years. He graduated from it in 1688. In that year, he became the secretary of Sir William Temple who was an English politician and member of the Whig party. In 1694, he took religious orders in the Church of Ireland and then spent a year as a country parson. He then spent further time in the service of Temple before returning to Ireland to become the chaplain of the earl of Berkeley. Meanwhile, he had begun to write satires on the political. He worked on A Tale of a Tub, which supports the position of the Anglican Church against its critics on the left and the right. And The Battle of the Books, which argues for the supremacy of the classics against modern thought and literature. He also wrote a number of political pamphlets in favor of the Whig party. In 1709 he went to London to campaign for the Irish church but was unsuccessful. After some conflicts with the Whig party, mostly because of Swift’s strong allegiance to the church. he became a member of the more conservative Tory party in 1710.
Unfortunately for Swift, the Tory government fell out of power in 1714 and Swift, despite his fame for his writings, fell out of favor. Swift had been hoping to be assigned a position in the Church of England instead of returning to Dublin, where he became the dean of St. Patrick’s. During his brief time in England, Swift had become friends with writers such as Alexander Pope. The third voyage of Gulliver’s Travels is assembled from the work Swift did during this time. However, the final work was not completed until 1726, and the narrative of the third voyage was actually the last one completed. Gulliver’s Travels was a controversial work when it was first published in 1726. Ever since, editors have excised many of the passages, particularly the more caustic ones dealing with bodily functions. Even without those passages, however, Gulliver’s Travels serves as a biting satire, and Swift ensures that it is both humorous and critical, constantly attacking British and European society through its descriptions of imaginary countries.
Late in life, Swift seemed to become even more caustic and bitter. Three years before his death, he was unable to care for himself, and guardians were appointed. Based on these facts, some people have concluded that he became insane. However, the truth seems to be that Swift was suddenly incapacitated by a stroke late in life, and that prior to this incident his mental capacities were unimpaired. Gulliver’s Travels is about a specific set of political conflicts, but if it were nothing more than that it would long ago have been forgotten. The staying power of the work comes from its depiction of the human condition and its often despairing, but occasionally hopeful, sketch of the possibilities for humanity to rein in its baser instincts.
The main content of the book
Part 1: A Voyage to Lilliput and Blefuscu
4 May 1699 — 13 April 1702
The author gives some account of himself and family. This part tells us his first travel. He is shipwrecked, and swims for his life. Finally he got the shore in the country of Lillivput. Gulliver is made a prisoner, and carried up the country. The book begins with a very short preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver, in the style of books of the time, gives a brief outline of his life and history prior to his voyages. He enjoys travelling, although it is that love of travel that is his downfall.
During his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and finds himself caught by a race of people, less than 6 inches high. They are inhabitants of the neighbouring and rival countries of Lilliput. After giving assurances of his good behaviors, he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favorite of the court. From there, the content follows Gulliver's observations on the Court of Lilliput. He is also given the permission to roam around the city on a condition he not harm their subjects. Gulliver helps the Lilliputians to subdue their neighbours the Blefuscudians by stealing their warships. However, he refuses to make the country become a province of Lilliput. But it displeases the King and the court. Gulliver is charged with treason and sentenced to be blinded. With the help of a kind friend, Gulliver flees to Blefuscu, where he finds an abandoned boat. He asks for the king of Blefuscudians to restore the abandoned boat. At first, the king refuses to do it. But a few days later, the king promises to restore the boat. With the help of the king, Gulliver restores the boat successfully and sails out. On the way, he meet with a strong storm. Fortunately, he is rescued by a passing ship. Then the captain of the boat sent him back to Britain.
Part 2: A Voyage to Brobdingnag
20 June 1702 — 3 June 1706
When the sailing ship is steered off course by storms and have to go in to land for searching for fresh water, Gulliver is abandoned by his companions and found by a farmer who is 72 feet tall. He brings Gulliver to home and ask his daughter cares for Gulliver. The farmer treats him as a curiosity and exhibits him for money. The word gets out and the Queen of Brobdingnag wants to see the show. She loves Gulliver and he is then bought by her and kept as a favorite at court.
Since Gulliver is too small to use their huge chairs, beds, knives and forks, the
queen asks the craftsman to build a small house for Gulliver so that he can be carried around in it. This is referred to as his "travelling box." In between small adventures such as fighting giant wasps and being carried to the roof by a monkey, he discusses the state of Europe with the King. The King is not interested with Gulliver's accounts of Europe, especially upon learning of the usage of guns and cannons. On a trip to the seaside, his travelling box is taken by a giant eagle which drops Gulliver and his box right into the sea. Then he stays in the box for some days until he was found by some sailors. At first, he thinks that he still in Brobdingnag. But he is wrong when he get out of the box. He is glad to see these people who are as big as him. Then he returns Britain again.
Part 3: A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib, and Japan
5 August 170
6 — 16 April 1710
After Gulliver's ship is attacked by pirates, he is marooned close to a rocky island, which near India. Fortunately he is rescued by the flying island of Laputa, a kingdom devoted to the arts of music and mathematics but unable to use them for practical ends.
Laputa's method of throwing rocks at rebellious surface cities also seems the first time that aerial bombardment was conceived as a method of warfare. While there, he tours the country as the guest of a low-ranking courtier and sees the ruin brought about by blind pursuit of science without practical results, in a satire on bureaucracy and the Royal Society and its experiments. At The Grand Academy of Lagado great resources and manpower are employed on researching completely preposterous and unnecessary schemes such as extracting sunbeams from cucumbers, softening marble for use in pillows, learning how to mix paint by smell, and uncovering political conspiracies by examining the excrement of suspicious persons (see muckraking).
Gulliver is then taken to Balnibarbi to await a trader who can take him on to Japan. While waiting for passage, Gulliver takes a short side-trip to the island of Glubbdubdrib, where he visits a magician's dwelling and discusses history with the ghosts of historical figures, the most obvious restatement of the "ancients versus moderns" theme in the book. In Luggnagg he encounters the struldbrugs, unfortunates who are immortal, but not forever young, but rather forever old, complete with the infirmities of old age and considered legally dead at the age of eighty. After reaching Japan, Gulliver asks the Emperor "to excuse my performing the ceremony imposed upon my countrymen of trampling upon the crucifix", which the Emperor grants. Gulliver returns home, determined to stay there for the rest of his days.
Part 4: A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms
10 September 1710 – 2 July 1715
Despite his earlier intention of remaining at home, Gulliver returns to the sea as the captain of a merchantman. But he is bored with his employment as a surgeon. On this voyage he is forced to find new crews to his crew who he believes to have turned the rest of the crew against him. His crew then mutiny, and after keeping him contained for some time resolve to leave him on the first piece of land they come
across and continue as pirates. He is abandoned in a landing boat and comes first upon a race of terrible deformed and savage humanoid creatures. And they make him disgust. Then he meets a horse and comes to understand that they call themselves Houyhnhms (which in their language means "the perfection of nature"), and that they are the rulers, while the deformed creatures called Yahoos are human beings in their base form.
Gulliver becomes a member of the horse's household, and comes to both admire and emulate the Houyhnhnms and their lifestyle, rejecting his fellow humans as merely Yahoos endowed with some semblance of reason which they only use to exacerbate and add to the vices Nature gave them. However, an Assembly of the Houyhnhnms rules that Gulliver, a Yahoo with some semblance of reason, is a danger to their civilization. As a result, Gulliver is expelled. He leaves the land by boat. And then rescued by a Portuguese ship, Gulliver is surprised to see that Captain Pedro Mendez, a Yahoo, is a wise, courteous and generous person. He returns to his home in England, but he has difficulty adjusting himself to live among Yahoos. Even he is disgust about his wife and children. Some days later, he buys two little horse and regard them as his best friends.
My review of Gulliver's Travels
After reading Gulliver's Travels, I really benefit much from it. The stories in the Gulliver's Travels are ironic, humorous, exaggerated and fantastic. The hero of the travels～Gulliver traveled around the world 4 times and suffered numerous adventures, which were dangerous but interesting.
In Gulliver's Travels, the voyage to the Lilliput and Brobdingnag really attracts me. Lilliput is a country of small people who are less than 6 inches high. It is certain that Gulliver is a giant to them. When Gulliver stayed in Lilliput, he helped the small people a lot. In the contrast, Brobdingnag is a country of giant. Gulliver was a small people to them. He was appreciated by the queen of the Brobdingnag. So he could live in the palace for a long time. It is unbelievable that there are so small and giant people in the world. But the travel that impresses me most is the voyage to the country of the Houyhnhnms. The hero was abandoned by his crews in an island. And he found that it was an island ruled by horses. Horse was the master of this country. These horses were called Houyhnhnms.
The horses on the island were kind, friendly and honest. There were no words such as “cheat” or “lie” in their language. As a result, they also did not understand these meaning. They did not know what was “suspicion” and what was “distrust”. In their country, everything was authentic and transparent.
Gulliver had a good time in that horses’ country. He blended in the society entirely so that he was quite digest about contact with Yahoos. Because Yahoos always distrust and cheat others like the human. From that, the author may wanted to tell us the human’s society’s gloom.
I quite admire Gulliver’s adventure in Houyhnhnms. The Houhnhnms is the ideal country that many people pursue, just like Plato’s utopia. In that country, we do not
need to consider other’s words are true or false. But it is re ally unpractical to the real world we live. In our real world, the events we aren’t willing to see often happen: someone cheat others for money, even someone abandon their parents for fame. So it is no wonder that our teacher and parents always remind us of not being cheated by others when go out alone. And it can not fit with the morality of morality of loving others and helping each other. I often hesitant when I have the notion of giving help to someone who is in trouble. I often dare not to receive the help from strangers when they are willing to help me. It really a torment to me and also to somebody who want to help others. Not only losing the opportunity of helping others, but also missing the helps from others’, isn’t it a sorriness?
The author of the book~Jonathan Swift also made a crack at the tireless struggles of the Whig Party and Tory Party. I have learned that period of history from the high school history textbook. These two parties fighted with each other for its own profits. Maybe it was t he origin of the society’s gloom in Britain.
The impression that Swift give to me is that he is a very righteous person. The Gulliver’s Travels can reflect the author’s aversion to the society. He pointed out the features of the Britain at that time ironically: greed, hypocrisy, faithlessness, atrocity, rage, blackness and careerism. He described the strange phenomenon that the creatures take the place of humans. Horse becomes the carrier of the logos. And human becomes a dirty and rapacious inferior animals~Yahoos. He talked about human’s nature which were willing to be subjected to money, extravagant and insatiable.
When we learn something from this book, we have to look ourselves again. Is there any bad root in our mind? It is inconceivable that a book for children takes on such a serious issues. Though our society are not as descended like the Britain at that time. There are still numerous negative factors in our community. As the members of it, we should take some actions. Although our strength is very tiny, we can just do the things which we are competent to. I hope our country will like the Houyhnhnms someday. There are no doubts in children's eyes and no distrust in communications. All of us could do something to make society more flourishing.
呼啸山庄读书笔记800字高中 《呼啸山庄》是英国女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉·勃朗特的作品，这里给大家分享一些呼啸山庄读书笔记，希望对大家有所帮助。 呼啸山庄读书笔记1 《呼啸山庄》讲述了呼啸山庄的恩萧家族和画眉山庄的林顿家族之间的故事。西斯克利夫是老恩萧收养的孤儿，虽遭到了老恩萧的儿子辛德雷的仇视，但他女儿凯茜喜欢他，只是由于地位的差异而无法表白，于是他愤然出走。当他回来时，凯茜已嫁给画眉山庄的主人埃德加·林顿，西斯克利夫骗娶了埃德加的妹妹，企图占领画眉山庄。经过很多事后，西斯克利夫终于达到了复仇的愿望，但并不感到高兴，于是在一个风雨之夜结束了自己的生命。 译者十余年前在一篇文章中曾提及，《呼啸山庄》是一部纯诗人写的小说，而不是哈代那样诗人兼小说家、更不是狄更斯那样纯小说家写的小说。就传统写实小说的基本要素人物和情节来说，《呼啸山庄》中的人物只有男女主人公最为突出，而且实际上是他们二人的感情特征最为突出——而人的感情又本应是诗的首要元素。 小说中其他人物，则缺乏像他们一样深刻强烈的感情内涵，因此大多淡而无味甚至不尽合乎常理。如伊莎贝拉之爱希思克利夫和小凯茜之爱小林顿，都是作家自己牵强作伐。唯有希思克利夫和凯瑟琳，真实、天然，充满魅力，兀立于其他人物之上，紧紧抓住读者，令人无暇挑剔、苛责。在结构方面，作为小说主体的爱情故事，发展到二人诀别，凯瑟琳长逝，似乎高潮已过，随后希思克利夫继续经受感情煎熬并向林顿、恩肖两家报复，应是从高潮至结尾的下坡路，到他五天四夜绝食梦游，则是一个回头浪，故事也就近于尾声，而这其间却穿插设计了大量第二代人的爱情纠葛，最后还布置了遥遥在望的大团圆，使本可精彩的结尾泛起了泡沫。爱米丽在这里似乎脱离了作诗而落入编写小说的迷阵。这恰从反面证明。爱米丽本为诗人，写诗，不论是以韵文还是散文，才是她的强项，《呼啸山庄》正是她以散文写的诗，它的巨大成功、突出魅力以及其中一些败笔，都源出于此。 呼啸山庄读书笔记2
《格列佛游记》读后感三篇 《格列佛游记》讲述的是英国船医格列佛因海难等原因流落到小人国、大人国、飞岛国以及慧骃国等地的经历。有了决心，我把滑板拿出来，重新开始了练习。现在，我也能玩出不少花样了！从中，我悟出一个道理：不管做什么事，都要有恒心、有毅力，才会成功。 是啊，在生活中，我们也要像格列佛一样，无论出于怎样的逆境，始终都要有一个目标，不要轻易放弃，那么成功就会向你驶来。 《格列佛游记》读后感二 《格列佛游记》的作者斯威夫特出生于爱尔兰的首都都柏林，父亲是一位定居在爱尔兰的英国人。他是一个遗腹子，由叔父扶养成人。他的代表作《格列佛游记》发表于1726年，被当作是儿童文学作品，实际上却是抨击当时英国社会堕落与腐败的讽刺小说。 在这本书中，写得是主人公，一位外科医生格列佛的冒险故事，其中一些令人心惊肉跳。在小人国里，他成了庞然大物，刀枪不入，一连吞几头黄牛仍填不饱肚子；在巨人国里，他变成了巨人们的玩偶，被玩弄于手掌间，并与苍蝇和蜂子展开斗争；后来，他来到神秘的飞岛国，这里的人利用鸟的下部的天然磁铁和海底下的磁铁的力量，随心所欲地移动，这同时也是一个可随时
传唤鬼魂对话、专门搞些莫名其妙的研究的离奇国家；还有令人深感汗颜的慧骃国，在这个人马颠倒的世界里，更有许多不可思议的故事。读着读着，我仿佛随着格列佛一起走进了那个奇幻的世界。那些玩偶般的小人，高大威猛的巨人，长得像鱼的飞岛国居民，以及慧骃和耶胡们，都给我留下了深刻的印象。 我觉得最特别的要数飞岛国的居民。他们的眼睛都长在一侧，而且是一个爱好乐器的民族，在他们的衣服上也有各自喜欢的乐器。那里的侍从必须要时刻敲打大臣们的脑袋，否则他们总爱异想天开。……读了这本书后，我很佩服格列佛的智慧、勇气和冒险的精神，他是个与众不同的男子汉，他一见到大海就抑制不住内心冒险的冲动。作为一名医生，他专门搭乘去各地旅行的船只，以为船员看病为由，去环游世界，到处冒险。 读了这本书以后，我渐渐觉得这些书其实很有意思，而且不会看不进去，反而读过几遍之后，越发爱上了这些书。书是人们进步的阶梯，在书的世界遨游是每个人的梦想。打开手中的书，一头扎进去吧，总有一天会发现其中的乐趣。 《格列佛游记》读后感三 放假期间，老师让我们读了两本书，一本是《钢铁是怎样炼成的》，另一本是《格列佛游记》，其中我对《格列佛游记》感触最深启发最大。 这部书的作者是乔纳森〃斯威夫特，他是英国18世纪初期最优秀的讽刺作家和政论家，这部书充满了奇异的想象和童话色
格列佛游记读书笔记 有些书值得人们反复品读，并且在反复咀嚼之后依然感到津津有味，让人回味无穷。而《格列佛游记》这部世界经典名著就拥有如此魅力。 阅读格列佛游记读书笔记，让我们通过他人的解读更深层次地感悟这本书吧。相信会有不少的收获。 今天，我怀着崇敬的心情阅读了英国著名作家斯威夫特所写的《格列佛游记》，真是既幽默又具讽刺性呀！ 主人公格列佛是个外科医生，不过他酷爱航海，于是就发生了一系列的冒险。格列佛曾先后到一个叫科立普特的小人国、一个叫布罗丁奈格的大人国、勒皮他、巴尔尼巴比、拉格奈格、格勒大锥、日本、慧驱等国家。其中最令人爱不释手的便是小人国和大人国。在小人国里格列费是个大巨人，帮助科立普特打仗，一个人可以敌对手几十条战船。在大人国，被布罗丁奈格人当宠物。简直太具想像力了。 说到想像力，我觉得我特别差劲，一写起需要附加想像力的作文，我就像狼吃刺猬——无从下口啊！要挤牙膏似的写一会，想一会儿。此时此刻，我真佩服斯威夫特那天马行空的想像力。我有时还会天真的怀疑外国人的大脑会不会更发达。直到最后我才知道了，原来是我接触的东西太少了，大脑没得到开发。 《格列佛游记》以幽默搞笑的元素向我们批判了旧时欧州的黑
暗，如果一生只能看三本书，那《格列佛游记》一定在其中。 这个暑假，我读完了英国作家乔纳森斯威夫特写的《格列佛游记》，这本书主要介绍了英国一个名叫格列佛的外科医生在小人国、大人国、飞岛国以及慧胭国的冒险故事。 我被大人国、小人国离奇古怪的故事深深吸引了。小人国里 的一切都非常小，他们对格列佛来说就像玩具一样。而大人国恰 好相反，格列佛就好像他们的“宠物”一样为他们表演，逗他们 开心，还要提心吊胆，以防被他们弄死。我不喜欢飞岛国中的人们，他们只重视音乐与数学，我觉得他们很多的做法都是很愚蠢的。 我最喜欢的是书中慧胭国的故事。慧胭国真是一个令人向往 的地方，这里的人们勤劳，干净，热爱劳动，有礼貌，举止端庄，乐于助人，在他们的语言中没有撒谎和欺骗，他们的社会充满了 友爱、和睦，人人都很善良，厌恶邪恶，我想这也许就是作者想 象中的理想国度吧。 我也希望有一天我们的社会也能像慧胭国那样，只有真诚， 没有虚伪，这也许只是个理想吧，但是，我以后一定要做一个真 诚的人，做一个对社会有用的人。 《格列佛游记》讲述英国船医格列佛因海难等原因流落到小人国、大人国、飞岛国、慧胭国等地的经历。 在小人国里，万物的长、宽、高仅有正常长度的十二分之一。人的身高只有6英寸。格列佛在那犹如巨人，一顿要吃好几车食
《呼啸山庄》读后感范文-100字 各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢 《呼啸山庄》读后感范文1000字【一】 《呼啸山庄》，唯一一部没有被时间的尘土湮没的杰出作品，《呼啸山庄》，唯一一部有着永久艺术魅力的光辉作品。 整个故事的情节叙述了希斯克利夫与凯瑟琳朝夕相处的童年生活;一个弃儿和一个小姐在这种特殊环境中所形成的特殊感情，以及他们对辛德雷专横暴虐的反抗。之后凯瑟琳因为虚荣、无知和愚昧，背弃了希斯克利夫，成了画眉田庄的女主人。 接着希斯克利夫如何在绝望中把满腔仇恨化为报仇雪耻的计谋和行动。最后阶段尽管只交代了希斯克利夫的死亡，却突出地揭示了当他了解哈里顿和
凯蒂相爱后，思想上经历的一种崭新的变化——人性的复苏，从而使这出具有恐怖色彩的爱情悲剧透露出一束令人快慰的希望之光。 在小说中，作者的全部心血凝聚在希斯克利夫形象的刻画上，她在这里寄托了自己的全部愤慨、同情和理想。这个被剥夺了人间温暖的弃儿在实际生活中培养了强烈的爱与憎，辛德雷的皮鞭使他尝到了人生的残酷，也教会他懂得忍气吞声的屈服无法改变自己受辱的命运。他选择了反抗。凯瑟琳曾经是他忠实的伙伴，他俩在共同的反抗中萌发了真挚的爱情。 然而，凯瑟琳最后却背叛了希斯克利夫，嫁给了她不了解、也根本不爱的埃德加·林顿。造成这个爱情悲剧的直接原因是她的虚荣、无知和愚蠢，结果却葬送了自己的青春、爱情和生命，也毁了对她始终一往情深的希斯克利夫，还差一点坑害了下一代。 凯瑟琳的背叛及其婚后悲苦的命
运，是全书最重大的转折点。它使希斯克利夫满腔的爱化为无比的恨;凯瑟琳一死，这腔仇恨火山般迸发出来，成了疯狂的复仇动力。希斯克利夫的目的达到了，他不仅让辛德雷和埃德加凄苦死去，独霸了两家庄园的产业，还让他们平白无辜的下一代也饱尝了苦果。 这种疯狂的报仇泄恨，貌似悖于常理，但却淋漓尽致地表达了他非同一般的叛逆精神，这是一种特殊环境、特殊性格所决定的特殊反抗。希斯克利夫的爱情悲剧是社会的悲剧，也是时代的悲剧。 《呼啸山庄》的故事是以希斯克利夫达到复仇目的而自杀告终的。他的死是一种殉情，表达了他对凯瑟琳生死不渝的爱与追求。而他临死前放弃了在下一代身上报复的念头，表明他的天性本来是善良的，只是由于残酷的现实扭曲了他的天性，迫使他变得暴虐无情。这种人性的复苏是一种精神上的升华，闪耀着作者人道主义的理想。《呼啸
《呼啸山庄》读书心得 如果要用两个字概括《呼啸山庄》这本书，那只能是“奇书”。这样一部如今被公认为英国文学史上的天才之作，被盛赞为“人间情爱最宏伟的史诗”的作品，却在出版后被斥责为“一部恐怖的、令人作呕的小说”，直到半个世纪后，人们才逐渐认识到这部作品的内涵。可是它的作者，艾米莉·勃朗特却早在出版一年后就离开了人世。 继承了凯尔特人血统的艾米莉，长年居住在偏僻的山村，养成了外表沉郁、内心刚强的性格。她的反叛精神和悲观意识，从这本书的男女主人公——希斯克里夫和凯瑟琳——身上可见一斑。在那个城市文明大行其道的时代，人类最真实的感情都被包裹上一层风度的外衣，可是希斯克里夫确是个另类。希斯克里夫狂放不羁，爱起来不顾一切，恨起来不计后果。他曾说：“两个词就可以概括我的未来了：死亡和地狱。失去了她，活着也在地狱里。”听说了凯瑟琳的婚讯后，他愤怒的在雷雨之夜出走；凯瑟琳死后，他半夜去挖开她的坟墓，只为了见她一面；他买通了教堂执事，在他死后把棺材一侧撬开，和凯瑟琳的坟墓相通。就是这样深深的爱才产生了深深的恨。希斯克里夫对自己的儿子冷酷无情，设计欺骗凯瑟琳的女儿，最终把呼啸山庄和画眉田庄都收入自己的囊中。可是当他的复仇计划一一实现后，胜利的喜悦却未降临。他在茫茫的荒原上四处走着，盼望凯瑟琳能够魂兮归来见他一面，最终不吃不喝孤苦的死去。 希斯克里夫的爱，原始而狂热，如暴风骤雨般浓烈。他的生命仿
佛只有两个部分：爱和恨。他曾至死不渝的追求真爱，也曾残忍冷酷的报复亲人。这样一个人物，充满了希腊史诗般的悲剧色彩，读来令人不由得感到一种悲壮和苍凉。 反观凯瑟琳，她毫无疑问是深爱希斯克里夫的，可她也爱埃德加，一个活在文明世界的翩翩君子。她说希斯克里夫“比我自己更像我自己”，“在这个世界上，我最大的悲苦就是希斯克里夫的悲苦。我活着的最大目的，就是他。”尽管这样，她却在到画眉田庄的五个星期后，由一个山村的野丫头迅速的被同化成一个文静的淑女，并且爱上了年轻英俊的田庄继承人埃德加。她虽然也为希斯克利夫的出走痛哭不已，但此时城市文明的光辉显然更吸引她。最终，她在病中深切的思念呼啸山庄，在临死前不顾一切的投入了希斯克利夫的怀抱。艾米莉通过这样一个悲凉的故事，表达了对维多利亚时代金钱至上思想的谴责。 希斯克利夫和凯瑟琳之间的爱情，是原始的，也是自私的。这仿佛与我们传统想法中无私付出的爱情不符。按照一贯的想法，希斯克利夫看到凯瑟琳嫁给一个有身份有地位的人，应该微笑着祝她幸福，可他却完全相反，采取了一系列残酷的复仇。这样的命运安排，正是艾米莉渴望爱、却又得不到爱的人生折射。她一生不善交际，又厌恶社会的丑恶，始终活在孤苦和绝望之中。但她同时也没有放弃过抗争，她为男主人公取名为“希斯克利夫”，意思就是长满石楠的峭壁。石楠是一种在荒原上顽强生长的植物，那和恶劣环境抗争的精神，令艾米莉由衷的喜爱。正是在悲苦抗争、抗争不得的复杂心境下，艾米莉

有人甚至为了金钱而抛弃自己的亲生父母……难怪，我们的老师、长辈从小就教育我们要提高警惕，小心上当受骗。 我也盼望着有一天我们的社会也能像慧因国那样，孩子们的眼中不再有疑虑，教育与现实是统一的。我愿为此努力，也希望大家一起，从我做起，从身边做起，让这个社会多一点真诚，少一点虚伪。 《格列佛游记》成书于1720xx年，是英国作家斯威夫特作的长篇讽刺类小说，也是他的代表作。他通过丰富的想象，写出了一个离奇的童话世界。全书分四个部分：小人国游记、大人国游记、飞岛国游记、慧马国游记。 书中的主人公——格列佛在一次航海事故中独自漂流到了小人国，在这里，小人国的居民把他当作一个顶天立地的巨人，以至于一不留神就能踩死几个小人国居民，甚至他的小便就嫩扑灭王宫大火。一顿饭要数百小人做。他可以让小人在他的手掌上跳舞，轻而易举地打败小人国的敌人。 在大人国，他却显得非常渺小，以至于成了大人国儿童的玩具，那里的东西对他来说都显得非常庞大弹钢琴也要站在琴凳上，并且不断地来回跑动，用拳头砸琴键，才能弹出声音来。一个大人国居民差点把他当食物吃了。在那里，苍蝇是他的天敌，冰雹似枪林弹雨…… 而飞岛国的统治对下方城市而言很霸道。要是谁反抗飞岛国，他们就移动飞岛到反抗他们的城市上空，不让他们享受阳光权和雨水权。不过，自从下方城市居民准备了尖顶金刚石建筑和燃烧
《格列佛游记》读书笔记 小人国的情景乃是当时大英帝国的缩影。当时英国国内常年不息的斗争和对外的战争，实质上只是政客们在一些国计民生毫不相干的小节上勾心斗角。通过大人国国王对格列佛 引以为荣的英国选举制度、议会制度以及种种政教措施所进行的尖锐的抨击，对当时英国 各种制度及政教措施表示了怀疑和否定。作者把讽刺的锋芒指向了当时的英国哲学家，脱 离实际、沉溺于幻想的科学家，荒诞不经的发明家和颠倒黑白的评论家和史学家等。小说 第四卷，作者利用格列佛回答一连串问题而揭露了战争的实质、法律的虚伪和不择手段以 获得公爵地位的可耻行为等。 《西游记》是一篇神话故事，里面有四个主要人物如：唐僧他诚心向佛、顽固执着……孙悟空正义大胆、本领高超是妖怪们的克星……猪八戒贪财好色胆小如鼠但又不缺 善心……沙僧心地善良、安于天命、吃苦耐劳……这四个人物形象各有相同，恰好形成了 很明显的对比，这使我不得不佩服作者写作高超的技艺，也许作者善于刻画人物形象便是 他精妙之处。其中我喜欢的是武艺高超的孙悟空，因为他神通广大、技艺高超，一路保护 唐僧成功地取得了真经，他就成了我心目中的英雄。以及他敢与强大势力做斗争的勇敢的 精神令我十分佩服。 《格列佛游记》尖锐深邃的讽刺是这部作品的灵魂。也给我留下了深刻印象。 当时的英国是作者抨击和挖苦的对象。格列佛历险的第一地是小人国。在这个缩微的 国度里，党派之争势不两立，邻邦之间不但想战胜而且要奴役对方。小人国的国王用比赛 绳技的方法选拔官员，为获得国王赏给的几根彩色丝线，官员不惜小丑似地做着可笑的表演。这个小朝廷是当时英国的缩影，连利立浦特的朝政风习和典章制度也同当时的英国政 局一模一样;在第二卷里，作者更是指名道姓地批抨英国。格列佛长篇大论地向大人国国 王介绍英国的历史、制度和现状，以及种种为国家为自己辨解的事，可是从大人国的眼光 看来，英国的历史充斥着“贪婪、竞争、残暴、伪善、淫欲、阴险和野心”产生的恶果。 作者借国王的话，“那样一个卑微无能的小虫”是“自然界中爬行于地面的小毒虫最有害 的一类”，讽刺了英国社会的方方面面;在第三卷里，通过对拉格多科学院人士所从事的 无聊而荒唐的科学研究，讽刺了英国当时的伪科学;有关勒皮他岛的描绘则批评了英国对 爱尔兰的剥削压迫。 小说不但抨击了社会现状，还在更深的层面上，直接讽刺了人性本身。在第四卷里， 关于“钱”的那段议论就是如此。格列佛来到没有金钱，没有军队警察的慧S(马)国，向 他的马主人解释说：“我们那里的野猢认为，不管是用还是攒，钱都是越多越好，没有个 够的时候。因为他们天性如此，不是奢侈浪费就是贪得无厌。富人享受着穷人的劳动成果，而穷人和富人在数量上的比例是一千比一。因此我们的人民大多数被迫过着悲惨的生
呼啸山庄读后感英文版 本文是关于读后感的，仅供参考，如果觉得很不错，欢迎点评和分享。 呼啸山庄读后感英文版 Many people in the world are trying to find a perfect companion.Some of these may marry and not know what their new husband or wife is like.This kind of situation often leads to separation or hostility. Other situations may develop between two friends that stem from jealousy, desire for revenge, uncaring parents, etc. Emily Bront?'s Wuthering Heights displays several characteristics of destructive relationships. Three of these are uncaring parents, marriage without knowing the person, and jealousy. Uncaring or unsympathizing parents are shown throughout this story to be an element of destructive relationships. Because Heathcliff gained all the attention from Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley became disassociated from his father. This separation continued until after Mr. Earnshaw had died.Another example is between Hindley and Hareton. Hindley became such a drunk and a gambler that he could not properly care for young Hareton. This led to a separation between Hareton and his father as well. One primary example
放在我眼前的这一部《呼啸山庄》显得与众不同： 它狂放不羁的浪漫主义风格源自于人物“爱”与“恨”的极端的冲突而在希克厉和凯瑟琳这对旷世情侣身上极度的爱中混合着极度的恨失去凯瑟琳使希克厉成为一个复仇狂。加之作者把故事背景放置在一个封闭的小社会——两个山庄和开放的大自然——荒原之中整个小说的情境就格外地“戏剧化”阴冷而暴-力神秘怪烈又隐含着神圣的温情。 其次女作家放弃了那种从头说起原原本本的叙事手法19世纪的女作家像她姐姐写《简·爱》奥斯丁写《傲慢与偏见》都采用的是这样一种易于为大众接受的传统手法艾米莉则为了讲清楚发生在两代人身上的复杂故事别出心裁地采用了当时少见的“戏剧性结构”借用了一位闯入呼啸山庄的陌生人洛克乌先生之耳 目从故事的中间切入这时候女主人公凯瑟琳已死去希克厉正处于极度暴虐地惩罚两家族的第二代的时候这就设置了一个巨大的悬念使读者急于追索事情的前因又时时关注着人物未来的命运。当然对于当时读惯古典小说的人们来说接受这种叙事系统是有些吃力的以致于有人指责此书“七拼八凑不成体统”。 《呼啸山庄》赏析评论 一个爱到极致的男人，做出了疯狂的行为。他用“爱”杀人，却也用爱自杀。凯瑟琳生前死后，他都活在痛苦里。凯瑟琳弥留之际，他还用说话去刺伤她。但是，希斯克力夫承受的却是两份伤痛，他自己的和凯瑟琳的。我很欣赏用情如此的男子。虽说有点变态和残酷，却怎么也恨不起他。还满同情他的。甚至很感动于他的疯狂的爱。相对来说，凯瑟琳就太自私了。她爱希斯克力夫，又嫁给富有的伦敦，可以说，呼啸山庄和画眉田庄的悲剧有一大部分是她亲手造就的。希斯克力夫，很疯狂。但很迷人。当然，伦敦也不失为一个好丈夫。只是，笨了一点。凯瑟琳嘛～她坏～她自私～可是她对爱的执着，使她也因此散发着好女人与坏女人的混合着的魅力。俺真的太喜欢这本书了 《呼啸山庄》读后感 旷野，西风，远处的城镇，折的杂草，崎岖的地形，苍凉的日落，避世的生活，艰辛的奔波，寂寞的岁月，艾米莉勃朗特的一切，没有荣耀，——至少在她生的日子里——梦想夭折，饱尝世事无常，造化弄人。这位才华横溢而早逝的女子绝不会想到，她死后，自己唯一的小说《呼啸山庄》会被后人誉为“最奇特的小说”且成为十九世纪英国文学史上绝色异彩的一粒宝石，直至今日，仍以其奇丽动人的光彩使无数读者为之折服，深深惊叹于它非凡的艺术魅力。
格列佛游记读书笔记个人范文 作者把格列佛等各个主角描述得很生动，抓住了每个人的心理，动作，神态。下面是给大家带来的格列佛游记读书笔记，欢迎大家阅读参考，我们一起来看看吧! 格列佛游记读书笔记1 在暑期长假里我读了《格列佛游记》这本书，这本书被当做儿童文学作品，实际上是作者威夫特以小说的形式来抨击当时英国社会的堕落与腐败的小说。 主人公格列佛是英国船医因海难等原因流落到小人过、大人国、飞岛国和贤马过等地的经历。 小人国的人都十分小，对他们来说格列佛无非是一个庞然大物，刀枪不入，一脸吞几十头黄牛都不够填饱肚子的人，而在大人国恰恰相反，在巨人国眼中，格列佛成了他们的玩偶，被他们玩弄于手掌间，并且与苍蝇和蜜蜂展开斗争，尔虞我诈；大人国的人民十分淳朴，老实。飞岛国有着强大的科技力量；简直令人叹服啊！在贤马国里更是奇怪，人与马相互颠倒，在那里马有着高尚的心灵，而野胡则是邪恶的生物，在贤马国人们的眼里没有欺骗，伤害，不信任一系列的字眼，他们友爱、互相帮忙、每个人的十分善良、纯洁如同出淤泥而不染的白莲那样。
格列佛在这些经历中获得了许多启发，他开始发现他生活的社会是那样腐败、堕落、封建，他越来越厌恶人类社会的种种恶行。你呢？是否有一些触动呢？我至少有，我明白作者借着部小说抨击当时英国社会的堕落、腐败、封建。当时的英国是这样的，中国呢？甚至比英国更差，直到此刻都没有改掉一些不好的恶习，甚至有的地方比以前做得更差！我们的生活质量在提高，可是生活环境在下降！世人好好反省，反省吧！ 格列佛游记读书笔记2 看了书名就明白，格列佛是这本书的主人。他是一个在船上工作的外科医生，一次航行不幸在苏门答腊岛遇难，就此开始了他的旅行。他漂流到利立浦特岛上。岛上居民身高都仅有六寸左右，在这个国度，他简直是一个巨人！之后，他又起航，在巨人岛——布罗卜丁鲁那克岛搁浅了。那里的国王身高有六十尺之巨，这会儿格列佛又变成“小人”了。之后，他又展开了第三次航行来到了勒皮他飞岛，那是个与世隔绝的世界，人们的观念封闭阻塞。在岛上盘桓数日后，他出发到海上浏览。 格列佛最终航行到一个叫慧马国的地方，那里的主宰者是马，有高度的智慧、自制力、礼节，在那个世界里，没有贪婪，没有欺骗，没有战争，没有陷害，心都是纯净的，善良的，就像生存在幻境中似的。他们是慧马族。
精选《格列佛游记》读书笔记500字有些书值得人们反复品读，并且在反复咀嚼之后依然感到津津有味，让人回味无穷。而《格列佛游记》这部世界经典名着就拥有如此魅力。 【篇一】 在前几天，我刚读完了一本书叫《格列佛游记》。 单看这个名字，格列佛像是一个坏人，就跟哈利波特中的伏地魔一样，没鼻子没心没肺的，但是，又看看这个游记，坏人应该是被关起来的，不应该流浪在外，像所有的旅行家一样自由地穿梭于自己想去的地方，可是，这是讲的一个什么故事呢?格列佛是好人，还是坏人，是逃犯，还是旅行家? 我最喜欢讲述格列佛刚到小人国那一段，格列佛的头发被一个大麻绳缠住了，两只手被绑在一起，脚也绑在一起，动弹不得，而且只要格列佛一动弹，围绕着他的小人们就会拿箭射他，当然，这是在小人国，人小，武器也就小，就跟给格列佛挠痒痒一样，然后，小人国国王给格列佛松了绑，因为他觉得格列佛并不可怕，而且还大酒大肉的招待格列佛，还给他安排了六百个仆人，每次负责每人给格列佛喂两次饭，因为他救了人，国王宁愿牺牲自己国家丰富的食物财产来帮助格列佛的饥饿问题，就是为了让格列佛继续留在这里帮助小人国干小人国居民干不了的事情。让格列佛信任小人国，首先也要让小人国的居民接受这么个巨人。
我的感受是只要你对他人好，他人也会对你好，就像小人国的居民对格列佛一样，虽然他们大小不同，虽然他们语言不通，但是，格列佛帮助了小人国，所以小人国所有的人们都喜欢格列佛。 如果你看了我的读后感觉得有意思的话，那就抽空让爸爸妈妈或爷爷奶奶姥姥姥爷给你买一本，读读看看吧!还有，读完一定要写读后感噢，再向大家暴露一些有趣的故事噢! 【篇二】 看了书名就知道，格列佛是这本书的主人。他是一个在船上工作的外科医生，一次航行不幸在苏门答腊岛遇难，就此开始了他的旅行。他漂流到利立浦特岛上。岛上居民身高都只有六寸左右，在这个国度，他简直是一个巨人!后来，他又起航，在巨人岛——布罗卜丁鲁那克岛搁浅了。那里的国王身高有六十尺之巨，这会儿格列佛又变成“小人”了。接着，他又展开了第三次航行来到了勒皮他飞岛，那是个与世隔绝的世界，人们的观念封闭阻塞。在岛上盘桓数日后，他出发到海上浏览。 格列佛最后航行到一个叫慧马国的地方，那里的主宰者是马，有高度的智慧、自制力、礼节，在那个世界里，没有贪婪，没有欺骗，没有战争，没有陷害，心都是纯净的，善良的，就像生存在幻境中似的。他们是慧马族。 格列佛先后共游览了个国家。小人国，大人国，飞岛国，

The Book Report of Wuthering Heights Wuthering Heights is a very famous novel which is written by the British writer ----Emily Bronte, who is one of the most remarkable novelists of the 19th in English literature. The whole book is full of strong spirit of the struggle against oppression, the struggle for happiness, and always hangs over the strange, nervous romantic atmosphere. When Wuthering Heights was firstly published, it was seen as the young woman writer’s naive fantasy divorcing from the reality. But as time went on, based on the description of social phenomenon of British and the fierce class struggle, it soon achieved highly affirmation of the critics, and was warmly welcomed by the public. Wuthering Heights, containing plentiful emotions, sublime love and a variety of world viewpoints as well as life philosophy, is regarded as the strangest novel in the history of English literature. The novel Wuthering Heights is full of love and hatred which are both conflicted and combined. The impressive, relentless and vigorous love arouses implacable emotions in depth of the reader’s heart with its ultimate passion, infatuation and great miseries. The hatred from the deepest bottom of the heart, which has brought so many pains, shocks the reader’s brain. Wuthering Heights, through a tragic love story, shows a picture of life in an abnormal society, and outlines humanity distorted by this terrible abnormal society and resulting horrible events. The whole story is actually spread gradually through four stages. The first stage describes the happy childhood of Heathcliff and Catherine; Special feelings are formed in the special environment between an orphan and a young lady, and they give Sindre the bossy tyranny. The second stage emphatically describes that Catherine betrays Heathcliff because of her vanity, ignorant and fatuity and then become the hostess of Thrushcross grange. The third stage has an emphasis on depicting how Heathcliff turns hatred and despair into the strategy and action of revenge. The final stage just tells the Heathcliff's death. However, it reveals that when Heathcliff knows that Harry and Katie are in love, he experiences a new change in thought ---- the recovery of human nature, which adds a bunch of reassuring light of

个手指的大小无论什么都那么的小。 过了一阵子，格列佛要回自己的国家了，临走时还帮小人国打了一场胜仗呢！这就是格列佛经历的第一件奇怪的事情。 又过了几天，格列佛又分别去了：大人国、飞岛国、马慧国。 如果你对这本书有兴趣，就可以亲自阅读一遍，可好看了！ 这本书为青少年们的成长提供了全面的丰富的养料，不但可以提高小孩们的文化修养，而且还可以为我们的成长做一个很好的指导，书里包含着：想象力、好奇心等，就像就像一块浓浓的巧克力糖，含进嘴里，除了一股股香甜以外，更能回味无穷，永远的记住这本书。快来体验一下读书的快乐吧！我相信你们一定能很喜欢这本书。 格列佛游记读书笔记600字2 不论是否真正读过，或者通读过，大约无人不知晓《格列佛游记》是一部世界名着。就连我们的语文课本上也会有那么一小段的内容。 第一卷《利立浦特游记》是标准的讽刺，可是写得很迷人，虽说大家现在都承认小人国实际就是暗指英国，利立浦特宫廷也就是英国宫廷的缩影，但人们还是不得不佩服斯威夫特惊人的想象力。他何以会想得出小人国这么一个点子来的呢？格列佛与利立浦特人之间的大小比例为1：12，这一比例在全卷书中从头到尾都得到严格遵守，不曾出一点差错。从写作技巧上讲，这种视觉选择是天才的，而它产生的效果则是无处不在的幽默。我们当然知道作者是在讽刺，在挖苦，然而这种讽刺和挖苦是理性的、冷静的，甚至于是较温和的，作者还没有完全激动起来，他只是在煞有介事地给你讲故事，讲一串在我们
英语版呼啸山庄读后感5篇 《呼啸山庄》英文读后感 The whole story make peoples mood heavy. Fortunately, the end is happy. The author Emily Bronte lived an eccentric, closely guarded life. She was born in 1818, two years after Charlottethe author of Jane Eyre and a year and a half before her sister Anne, who also became an author. Her father worked as a church rector, and her aunt, who raised the Bronte children after their mother died, was deeply religious. Emily Bronte did not take to her aunts Christian fervor, the character of Joseph, a caricature of an evangelical, may have been inspired by her aunts religiosity. The Brontes lived in Haworth, a Yorkshire village in the midst of the moors. These wild, desolate expanseslater the setting of Wuthering Heightsmade up the Brontes daily environment, and Emily lived among them her entire life. She died in 1848, at the age of thirty. I like this book because it rest on the unforgettable characters. Wuthering Heights is based partly on the Gothic tradition, a style of literature that featured supernatural encounters, crumbling ruins, moonless nights, and grotesque
A Report on Wuthering Heights In Wuthering Heights (John Murray edition,1910), Emily Bronte tells the story of love and revenge. Wuthering Heights is written by the time span of thirty years, describes a complex emotional relationships of two generations between the Earnshaw family and Linton family. Heathcliff was a poor gipsy orphan who was deserted on a dirty street. The old kind Mr.Earnshaw took him back and brought him up. Mr.Earnshaw had a beautiful daughter, Catherine Earnshaw, and a son, Hindley. After Heathcliff’s coming to the family, Catherine became his good friend while Hindley always looked down upon the black-haired boy, treated him badly, and tired his best to make him a poor dull farm worker. Because of Heathcliff’s lowly status, he couldn’t offer a comfortable life to Catherine and at last she married Edgar. Linton, a rich young man living in Thrushcross Grange. The whole novel can be divided into four parts. The first phase describes the daily life of Heathcliff and Catherine’s childhood, their special affection is formed in this particular environment as well as their revolt against the tyrannical Hindley. The second phase focuses on the Catherine pursuit of the traditional of human love and betrayed Heathcliff and she became the mistress of thrush. She admitted to Donnelly that her love to Linton who is young, handsome man. He loves her as well as her wealth, let her to become the most distinguished woman. Catherine has said:”In my heart and soul, I clearly know I was wrong.”Because she also loves Heathcliff. The third phase uses a large pen and ink describing Heathcliff’s revenge. The last part of novel is the death of Heathcliff but revealed a new change in the thinking experience-the recovery of humanity when he understood the love between Hareton and Catherine, so we can see a bunch a hope in the tragic love story. My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods; time will change it. I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nell, I am Heathcliff! He's always always in my mind; not as a pleasure, any ore than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being. Love ,when it was passionate, it was sun,rain and sugar;but when itwasn’t passionate, it became a sharp arrow, the deeper you loved, the worse scar you would had. As for a person who had already got hurt badly, love can be a dealcohol agent, which can worn him to be cautious before fall in love again. However, even though it can not be able to prevent the coming of love, until it break all the fantasy of love into pieces one more time. I don’t know exactly how many people died for love, but I believe that most of them had decided to keep alive eventually. They continued to be living, til the time smooth the painful memory. Once think about that one day, all of us well be vanished in the memory of the person who we loved before. What a terrible thing ! I cannot express it; but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is or should be an existence of yours beyond you. What were the use of my creation, if I were entirely contained
