The impression of A Little Princess and Little Women

A Little Princess is a touching novel written by Frances Hodgson Burnett—a

famous novelist and dramatist. It obviously contains lots of fancied plots, but the parts

it talks about creating miracles, can really reach the bottom of my heart. The book can

bring me into a world that is more than reality while reading it. The extraordinary

story makes me ponder a lot and gives me a deep impression that every girl can be a

princess.

After reading this outstanding book, I was shocked by Sara, a little girl who

suffered such unimaginable pain and tortures, but still had an opposite attitude

towards life. What impresses me most is that Sara put on her act of being a princess

when she wore thin bottom shoes, wading in the street of London. From my point of

view, her spirit of being so strong-minded when she was in hard times is worth

admiring.

Every girl can be a princess if she can do all I mentioned, no matter she is rich,

beautiful or not. To speak truthfully, I cannot do as well as Sara. However, I will exert

myself on being a princess mentally.

The story of a little princess reminds me a book I read many years ago, called

little women. The story of little women also impressed me and makes me think a lot.

Little Women is a "coming of age" drama tracing the lives of four sisters: Meg,

Jo, Beth and Amy. During the American Civil War, the girls father is away serving as

a minister to the troops. The family, headed by thier beloved Marmee, must struggle

to make ends meet, with the help of their kind and wealthy neighbor, Mr. Laurence,

and his high spirited grandson Laurie.

This book all begins in the dead of winter; The Christmas Season. The coldest

one of all, were the war has made fuel for heating very scarce. While her husband is

off at war, Marmee is left alone to raise their four daughters: Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy.

One of the prominent themes in Little Women is the coming of age or maturation

of the girls. During the course of the novel we see them grow in many ways --

physically, intellectually, and especially emotionally. One question which readers

must ask themselves is whether the views the characters have on the coming of age

process are shared by Alcott. If they aren't, what are Alcott's views and how do they

differ from those of the women in her story?

It is interesting to examine the last half of Chapter 20, "Confidential." Jo

addresses the maturation issue as she speaks with Marmee of the situation between

Meg and Mr. Brooke. The possible love between these two represents one of the very

important aspects in coming of age for a teenage girl. Jo treats this natural process as

if it were some sort of disease, however. Jo cannot understand why Meg would want

to stop behaving "like a sensible creature" , and refers to love as "such nonsense."

After reading this two books, I found that I’m really interested in those kind of

story, I think I’ll read a lot more in my free time.

The impression of Camille

I read the Camille recently ,I was deeply moved by the main character

Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas,

fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in

the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then

tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her

and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the

knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart.

after reading this book, a sentence always stay in my head, “Women are

like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate

beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies

their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are

normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate

of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful

flowers gone? Where have they gone?

The impression of Gulliver's Travels

Gulliver’s Travels recounts the story of Lemuel Gulliver, a

practical-minded Englishman trained as a surgeon who takes to the seas when his

business fails. In a deadpan first-person narrative that rarely shows any signs of

self-reflection or deep emotional response, Gulliver narrates the adventures that befall

him on these travels.

One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether

the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they

are the butt of Swift's satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the

talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act?

If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact Swift
