book report作文英文英文:Book Report: The Catcher in the Rye。
I recently finished reading The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. It's a classic novel that has been on my reading list for a long time, and I finally got around to reading it.The book is about a teenage boy named Holden Caulfield who has been expelled from his prep school and is wandering around New York City. Throughout the book, Holden struggles with his feelings of loneliness, alienation, and disillusionment with the adult world.One of the things that I enjoyed about the book was Holden's unique voice. He speaks in a very colloquial and informal manner, which makes him feel like a real person. He also has a lot of quirks and idiosyncrasies that makehim a memorable character.Another aspect of the book that I appreciated was its exploration of themes such as innocence, identity, and authenticity. Holden is constantly searching for something real and meaningful in a world that he perceives as phony and superficial.Overall, I thought The Catcher in the Rye was a thought-provoking and engaging read. It's a book that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys coming-of-age stories or wants to explore complex themes in a relatable way.中文:《麦田里的守望者》读后感。
Book Report of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain's classic novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is always be regarded as one of the greatest books of American literature and civilization. Nobel Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway claimed in Green Hills of Africa (1935), that "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since."The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which was first published in 1885, is a sequel to Mark Twain's another fiction The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Its theme is how to set the slaves free and how to come true one’s dreams. This is a social problem, so this novel influences American literature in American history, it can be said a revolution. The style of the book is quite simple. It is a local book which is written in the colloquial style, but it touches upon the human situation in a general, indeed universal way:humanitarianism ultimately triumphs.It tells a story which took place in the U.S.A. before the Civil War, along the Mississippi River, a boy named Huckleberry Finn who fled from his drunkard father, and encountered Jim on the island he hid. Jim was one of Miss Watson’slaves, and he was also running away from her. So Huck and Jim teamed up , floated on a raft down the Mississippi River together. The adventure started. During the course of their perilous and tough journey, Huck and Jim met diffculty, adventure, danger, and a group of people with various characters. And In the winding and adventurous journey, Huck and Jim built up a permanent friendship that broke down the barrier between the White and Black.In this novel, Huck is a motherless and homeless boy without education, sleeping in barrels, eating scraps and dressed in rags. He comes from the very lowest level of society. His father is a drunkard and treats Huck very bad. Huck don’t like civilized ways because he think they are personally restrictive and hard. After all, Huck is only a child, the world seems new to him. Everything he encounters is a crash for thought. Because of his background, however, he does more than just apply the rules that he has been taught—he creates his own rules. To some degree, it can be said that he is treacherous.But Huck is also a good and noble boy. All of his virtues come from his kind heart and his sense of humanity. On the way of floating in Mississippi river, Huck tries his best to help Jim and changes his prejudice about Black people. He concerns about the drunk man in the circus. He shows sympathy for the nieces of Peter Wilks and saves money for them. His sympathy even goes to those who are totally unworthy of his attention such as the stranded robbers and the king and the duke.Besides, Huck is smart, and has a sharp eye for details. Although he is uneducated and doesn’t always understand everything he sees, or its significance, nature teaches him a lot of things. Moreover, this quality helps him to avoid dangers and overcome difficulties during the travel.There w ere three important themes in this novel. One theme was “the pursuit of freedom”. Huck wanted to escape from the “civilized” society while Jim wanted to escape from the oppression and bondage of slaverythey. They were both seeking theirown freedom. The ot her theme was “growing”. Huck grew up and became mature from this journey. The journey was a voyage of growth in reality and morality, and a course of learning. On the personal and social level, he acquired knowledge and became a person of sound heart, and with democratic ideals. Jim’s growing means his progress of the idea and thought of himself. His pursuit was becoming the real human being. The third theme was the “racism and slavery”. It sets out the dissatisfaction of slavery. Mark Twain’s impressive p resentation of Negro slaves, such as Jim in the novel. Jim represents all that is good in man and Twain’s sympathy for the slaves and hatred towards the slave-society conventions are fully expressed in this novel. From them, readers could think more about life.Now, we come to a rather saddening fact. It may be reminded that back in the 1870’s, the slave law had not been abolished yet. In the range of the southern states, black people were still in slavery, waiting to be freed. Any slave who wanted to escape knew that it was impossible and a no-can-do. Mark Twain implies his disapproval of slavery gently, especially when Jim was caught as a runaway slave. Only until President Abraham Lincoln won the civil war, the slaves were finally free humans, with the ri ght to vote, and freely lived in “a country where all men are created equal”.There is no doubt that Mark Twain is one of the most celebrated persons in American literature. And his novel---- the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is also one of the best books in American literature. It influences American literature and history for a long time. If one wants to learn American history and literature, he or she should finish this novel.The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a great masterpiece of American writer Mark Twain. Mark Twain is one of the greatest American writers in the 19th century. He was one of the founder of American critical realism literature, and also the great master of the word famous short stories. His original name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens. During his life he enjoyed a international fame that has probably never been equaled by any other American author. William Faulkner even called Mark Twain" the father of American literature". William Dean Howells praised him as "the Lincoln of our literature,"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Twain’s representative work. Hemingway declared in his Green Hills of Africa (1935) that "All modern American literature comes from" Huck Finn, and regard it as "the best book we've had." However, this novel has been one of the most controversial and frequently banned books of American literature since its publication in 1884. During the course of one hundred years after its publication, this novel has still very famous, and frequently discussed all around the world. It proved to be one of the greatest books in the world literature.This novel can be regarded as an American initiation stories. “An initiation story may be said to show its young Protagonist experiencing a significant change of knowledge about the world or oneself,or a change of character,or of both,and thischange must Point or lead him towards an adult world. It may or may not contain some form of ritual,but it should give some evidence that the change is at least likely to have permanent effects.” (Mordecia Marcus). The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn is commonly acknowledged as the classic initiation story, because he experienced a lot of danger and difficulties during his journey, and learnt a lot of principles and rules of the world. He grown up and choose his own life style. The Adventure is also the same. I will mainly talk about the process of his growth in mind in this report.The first period, there is no happily family for him, for both home of his father and the adopted family were failed to give him tender love or right guide. They raise him all for the little boy’s fortune. Meanwhile, Huckleberry Fin is eager for free and unrestricted life. However she just wants to civilize him and made him live a respectable life. He felt rather depressed and stressful so that he even wished he was dead. During this period, he is mainly influenced by the south ideology which will affect his mind in his later life.The second period, finally he can’t bear his father and kin, he pretend to be dead and escape from home and go to an island. At this time, he know Jim, they have adventure together. At first, Huck was not willing escape with him, because he was a black. However the situation was very danger and he feels lonely. So he had to accept Jim. As a white child, born in south, he look down upon black and didn’t want to involved himself in helping a black slave escape. at this moment, his minds was not been liberated.Third, the period of confusion, is the most important part of the novel. He played jokes on Jim and hide him hat, sitting aside to laugh at him. He still didn’t recognize or accept him. As a white boy growing up in the society where slavery was widely practiced, Huck accepted the conventional ideas that the blacks were born to be inferior to the white. There is always a confliction in Huck’s mind. Sometimes he wanted to betray him and take him back to Miss Watson. However, when the hunters were coming, he protected Jim not to be hurt. In his later experience, they were deceived by the “king” and “duke”, what’s worse, they sell Jim to another owner. At this time, Huck decided to save him from the tragedy. We can see his humanity shining. But when they escape, Huck was hunt and can’t go much farther. Jim didn’t escape himself, instead, he risk to be caught and take care of Huck. He is also a kind-hearted man and has his own character. He is a positive role for Huck’s grown-up.The last period, Huck finally learned there are too much preposterous and hypocritical in the society, especially the racial discrimination towards the black. He understood that the black also have the humanity and right. They should be respect, loved. Now he was awake and grown up. He choose to live a free life. His heart has no conflict any more.By analyzing the text of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, My report focuses on the stages and progress of Huck’s initiation; how does Huck’s raft journey influence his initiation; his inner conflicts and growth. Through Huck’s adventures, Mark Twain shows us a vivid picture of the prewar American society. at the same time.Huck just a child, he can learn the hypocritical of the modern human, and the absurd of racial discrimination. A adult should learn more. So this novel has a great significant in the history. It is really worth to reading.The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnMark Twain (pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910) was brought up in a small town of Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Owing to his father’s death, he had to leave school at the age of twelve. He was successively a printer’s apprentice, a tramp printer, a silver miner, a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi, and a frontier journalist in Nevada and California. All of these experiences gave him a wide knowledge of humanity. Mark Twain is a world-renowned literary giant and a gifted humorist. As a prolific writer, he makes great achievements in novels and short stories. However, what makes him popular are mainly his novels, in particular, his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In 1884, he wrote this book, one of his most enduring books, it has not only delighted generations of readers but made history exciting. It has always been regarded as one of the great books of western civilization.The story happens along the Mississippi River. On both sides of the river there was unpopulated wilderness and a dense forest. Along the river floats a small raft, with two people on it. The protagonist of this story is Huckleberry Finn, a little uneducated white boy of about thirteen years old. He comes from the lowest level of society. His father is a poor town drunkard. The other boy Jim is an ignorant, uneducated black slave named Jim. The book tells the story of Jim’s escape from slavery, and, how Huckleberry Finn tries his best to help Jim. At the beginning, Huckleberry Finn cannot see Jim as a proper human being. He was told that that black are by nature lower than white, they are inferior animals. He always plays jokes on Jim. But, at the process of helping Jim to escape, Huckleberry Finn gradually changes his mind, his prejudice toward black people. At last, He treats him as a man and a close friend. Huckleberry Finn’s inner struggle between his sense of guilt in helping Jim to escape and his profound conviction that Jim is a human being was vividly described in the book.Underlying Twain's good humor is a dark subcurrent of antebellum cruelty and injustice that makes The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a frequently funny book with a serious message.This is the first time that I read this book, when I finished it, was lost in contemplation. It takes me back to a children’s world. Finn’s unique personality, only the children can really understand. One the one hand, it’s a description of children’sworld, they are naughty, innocent, and they have their own dreams. Huckleberry Finn and the group of children always want to do something big. I love the protagonist very much .Even though he is only a small boy, he can do something that adults dare not to do .Huck is a kid who naturally loves freedom. He grew up homeless and had no chance to receive family, school and church education. He liked independent life, hated life around the stagnant and hypocritical courtesy. He did not go to church to pray, not wear dec ent clothes, and not learn from these “civilized” and the “gentle manner”. In the beginning, kindhearted widow Douglas, adopted the poor little Huck, and attempted to teach him and transformed him into a “civilized boy”. However, Huck soon tired of this de cent, and felt that the days of “too sulk” is simply all day long, “a pain”. So “I put on my body worn clothes and drill down to my empty sugar barrel by myself. Then I feel free and satisfied”.Huck distained the “civilized” society’s enlightenment, and e ven questioned the sacred religious tenets: If a person can pray to get what he wants, then why still the loss of Wayne’s by selling pork do not come back? Why the widow’s galactic disk which was stolen do not come back......”So he constantly played hooky,and ran into the forest to have some “fresh air”. Even together with the “noble” person, he felt “itch”.Huck finally could not stand the stagnant life and the enlightenment of civilization, and he escaped to seek for his ideal free life.On the other han d, it’s the author’s autography. Mark Twain’s three years’ life on the Mississippi left such a fond memory with him that he returned to the theme more than once in his writing career. Mark Twain------The half savage, tender, god-worshipping, believing boy, playing with rivers and man, ending on the Mississippi on the broad river that is the great artery flowing out of the heart of the land. It’s the miniature of real Mark Twain. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn tells a story about the United States before the civil war, around 1850, when the great Mississippi valley was still being settled. America was overwhelmed by violence and cruelty, but the virtues of “some simplicity, some innocence, some peace” still not disappeared. The machine and worship if money were on their way in, but the river-god, with its sunlight, space, uncrowned time, stillness, and danger,” had not been forgotten.The image of children belongs to be the comparatively special image among the i mage in literature. People usually treat ch ildren’s thought and behavior with themselv es eyes .Reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which can let us pass the voiceof the children’s heart to hear the children’s reality, see a fresh and clear reality of chi ldren’s image-----exploration, resistance, escapism, desperate. In this book, serious problems are being discussed through the narration of a little illiterate boy. Such as, the loafers of the town of Brickville, amusing themselves by torturing animals, pouring kerosene on dogs and setting them on fire, democratic citizens quickly changed into violent mobs, ready to take the law into their own hands and lynch people, or to seize people and pour hot tar over them and ride them out of town on a rail, the fact that the blacks being sold in the market places like animals. The society at that time is in chaos. The people half wild and half civilized, many of them are vulgar and brutal.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an exposure of the society at that time. Though a local and particular book, it touched upon the human situation in a general indeed “universal” way: Humanism ultimately triumphs. At that time, the social and intellectual climate of the country provided a stimulating milieu for the growth of local color fiction. The United Stated, still expanding westward, had not had time to solidify itself into a cohesive cultural whole. The local colorists formed an important part of the realistic movement. Mark Twain’s truthful depiction of the commonstrength to the fight for realism. The book has been banned from time to time, beginning with its publication in 1885, when it was deemed too subversive for children, until the late 20th century when, despite its compassionate attitude toward blacks and is violent denunciation of slavery, it has been branded racist because of Twain's use of dialect and "offensive" language. In addition to its message of tolerance and understanding, Huckleberry Finn continues to be read, talked about, and loved by readers of all ages because it's a cracking good coming-of-age story full of vivid characters and hilarious events, and because Twain's relentlessly clear-eyed angle of vision sees beneath the foibles and absurdities of humanity to the common ground that we all share.An Analysis of the Classical Initiation Novel----The Adventures ofHuckleberry FinnⅠ. IntroductionMark twain is one of the greatest writers in the 19th century, known as “the father of American culture”, and also named as “the Lincoln of American culture” byHowell. His masterpiece the adventures of Huckleberry Finn is even remarked as “the place where all modern American literature comes” and “the best book we have ever had” by Ernest Hemingway. There is no denying that it is still a very popular book nowadays, and many people are still studying it, while it’s difficult to search out an article discussing about its initiation theme of the youngster and concerning about the development of the youth’s characteristics. Therefore, it is not unnecessary to dig out the deeper meaning about the development of the youth in the curtain social background.Ⅱ. The definition of the initiation novelThe initiation novel begins at the 18th century, first in Germany, and then prevails in Europe, in the 19th century, it comes to America. Though many scholars are trying to definite it, the best definition of it is still not established. Among all the definitions now we have, Marks’ is most accepted:the initiation novel is to show after suffering a lot of traumas both in physical and mental, the young hero changes his previous world view, or transfigures his disposition, or he changes the both; this change makes him get rid of his innocent childhood, and will finally leads him to the complicated adult society.Since there are a mount of initiation novels in American literature, the initiation novel must play a very important role in its history, from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s the Scarlet Letter and Young Mr. Brown to Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, and when it comes to mark twain, it comes to it’s a pex, twain’s two initiation novels the Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn could say clearly for it.In the initiation novels, although the people and the stories may be very different, the formations are similar: the story always starts with the young hero’s sufferings or observations of the villainy, and losing his innocence; these experiences would inevitably shock his little heart, so the youth could transform from a naïve child to an adaptable and mature man. Huck is not an exceptional one.Ⅲ.An Analysis of Huck’s initiation process in the novelHuck is a typical American boy, he is clever and naughty, seeming impolitely and rude, in fact, full of innocence and kindness. At the beginning of the novel, he adopted by the widow Douglas, a kind but stifling woman who lives with her sister, the self-righteous Miss Watson. There he has to obey all kinds of rules and doctrines, and get education, and learn how to be a good person, and also how to live a graceful life. However, this life is just like a fetter for Huck’s unconstraint heart and longing for freedom’s mind. Besides, his drunkard father comes into being again and kidnapped him and treats him violently. Altogether, the loneliness, oppression, his father’s persecution, and his yearning for freedom make him at last choose to run away from the so-called “civilized society”, and start his adventures in the society, and therefore start his developments in his heart.On his way for running away, Huck happens to meet Jim------one of Miss Waston’s slaves, running away from Miss Watson. Huck determined to help Jim to get freedom. However, during the course of saving Jim, Huck experiences vehement mental clash, his thoughts and heart get a sublimation during the process, he abandons the traditional social prejudices, and turns to more mature. Although at the very beginning, Huck promises not to blow upon Jim, he is not completely sure for his decision. He doesn’t treat Jim as the person who has the equal rights as himself; he does n’t respect Jim and always laughs at Jim’s thoughts, and frequently plays jokes on Jim. In the chapter 15, they two go astray on the river, in order to find Huck; Jim almost risks his life, while Huck deceives Jim that’s just a dream. When Jim becomes sober, he, as an equal person as Huck, interrogates Huck seriously, and criticizes Huck’s immoderate joke strictly, while at the same time, with a deep affection. At that time, Huck realizes his fault: “This really makes me feel pretty despicable, I wish with the mouth to kiss his feet”. Finally, he nerves himself to apologize to Jim. Till then begins Huck’s development of characteristics and mind. He realizes the position and respects of a man, and gets to know that the black Jim is as the same as the white, he is equal with him, and should share the same rights with him.Huck’s deeper understanding of the people and the society happens after twomuch more tortuous mental sufferings. In the chapter 16, when Jim feels hilarious for he thoughts he would soon be free when they reach the free town, while Huck starts his heart’s contradiction and mental clash again. Because of his background, Huck thought that slavery is good and right, and he is also taught that the black is the property of the white and that run-away slaves should be reported, and helping a slave to run away is even flagitious. Thus, when he knows that Jim will soon get freedom with his own help, he feels very anxious, and also feels sorry for kindhearted Miss Watson. So he decides to report Jim when they get on board. However, when Huck sees Jim’s happy face and recalls his kindness, Huck hesitates again; he gets into a dilemma, and doesn’t know what to do. At this crucial time, there come two men looking for the runaway slave, and they want to examine Huck’s raft, but Huck plays a trick on them, and let them believe on the raft lies a patient suffering from smallpox, thus protecting Jim. Here Huck strides a big step to cut through social prejudices and social discriminations, and also a big step to his moral and mental mature.Till the chapter 31, Huck completely breaks up with the slavery and traditional social prejudices. Until then, the conflict about if to report Jim raise to the climax, and his conscience tells him that “helping the black to run away must get into the eighteenth layer hell”. Therefore, he writes to Miss Watson, and tells her where Jim is. Huck again remembers his raft travel with Jim, they take care of each other and share both the happiness and sorrow, Jim is that loyal, kindhearted, and honest, and he regards Huck as the only friend, and then Huck realizes that Jim is not only an equal person as himself but also his best friend. So Huck’s heart tells him that he should not report Jim, and what he should do is to help Jim to get freedom. At last, Huck’s heart defeats his conscience, and he says: “well, then, hell is hell!”, and then he tears up the letter. Just as Mark Twain’s own comment “in this book, a sound mind and deformity conscience produce clash, conscience suffered a defeat”. “Huck’s tearing letter”shows that Huck has utterly ascended the huge gap of the racialism, and defeated the social bias. According to his own heart, Huck makes the right decision and choice, and therefore becomes mature in both moral and mental.Huck’s initiation process also shows in his gradual recognition on society and humanism. During the development of Huck’s disposition, he recognizes himself more and more clear, and gradually understands his real pursuit. To start with, Huck seems like a loyal attendant to Tom whatever he does he wants to does like Tom, he always submits to Tom, and has no confidence in himself, and also holds negative believes on himself. However, with the story’s happening, Huck gradually gets rid of Tom’s influence, and begins to oppugn Tom’s deeds, and believes Tom’s conducts are unpractical. After experiencing lots of adventures and risks, Huck learns how to face the hardship alone, and knows how to solve problems. He gradually comprehends his ability, and find back his confidence and ego. In the chapter 33, in spite of Tom’s wrong thoughts about him, Huck makes his mind to save Jim out. He says to Tom: “I know what you want to say. You should say it is despicable thing, but what's the matter? I must steal him out”. Moreover, on the issue about how to save Jim, Huck doesn’t follow Tom any more. He has his own thoughts then. He knows that he has the same rights, ability, and wisdom as Tom. Huck has already become a independent and self-assured person. What’s more, the novel’s ending ---Huck refuses to be Sally aunt’s godson,forms a fierce contrast with the novel’s very beginning that Huck returns to the widow’s home under Tom’s persuade.Ⅳ. ConclusionFrom above, it is clear to see that during the raft adventures with Jim, Huck, from an innocent, happy, ignorant follower, becomes a brave, independent, confident, responsible, and intelligent person. The process of finding himself is, however, not smooth at all, but full of contradictions, puzzles, and conflicts. His shaping process can represent all the human beings’development of their nature and individual characteristics.There’s no denying that initiation process is no favoring thing at all. It consists of many kinds of mental clashes, heart’s maturing and the understanding of the society and human nature. Hope Huck’s growing experience can be beneficial and helpful for the contemporary teenagers.。

Book Reportrmation about the author and his times;2.a summary of the book;ments on it.sampleAround the World in Eighty Days by Jules V erne Jules V erne (1828-1905), the author of Around the World in Eighty Days, Was Born in Nantes, France. He had an innate love for the sea and for travel and adventure when he was a child. Later, he devoted himself to literature and wrote several scientific romances, which gained him the name—Father of Modern Science Fiction.V erne’s novels are usually full of scientific facts and details and they pleased the public fascinated by all the scientific developments of the nineteenth century. They foretell with uncanny accuracy the inventions and advanced technology of the twentieth century, and have become the literary stepping-stone for generations of science fiction writers. V erne’s story Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863) brought him his first success. The following year, he published Journey to the Center of the Earth, which also made a great hit. After that, A trip to the Moon (1865), 20,000Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and The Mysterious Island(1875), were turned out one after another and they brought V erne worldwide popularity.V erne’s heroes are always those who risk their lives for scientific research and progress, and they have a great influence on the readers. For the first time, people began to believe that journeys into space or under the sea might really be possible. Many even tried to bring that day nearer by their own efforts. Jules V erne inspired a whole generation of scientists and he probably traveled more widely in his imagination than any other writer. This we can see quite clearly in Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).This is a book of science fiction which tells us an exciting story about an English gentleman, Mr. Phileas Fogg, who makes a bet with his club-mates and manages to travel around the world in eighty days. It gives us a vivid description of the many difficulties and incidents which happen on his journey. Mr. Fogg and his servant Passepartout start their journey from London and travel eastward. Mr. Fox, a detective, who is investigating a bank robbery case, suspects Mr. Fogg of being the robber and follows him all through the journey in an attempt to arrest him as soon as he gets the warrant. So Mr. Fogg, a man with courage and intelligence, tries to deal with all the troubles caused by Mr. Fox, and in the meantime, manages to overcome the difficulties on his way, such asmissing a train or a steamboat, being caught in a storm on the sea, attacks by the Indians, etc. With the help of his servant, Mr. Fogg saves an Indian woman Aouda, who would otherwise become a victim of the “Suttee”. The story ends happily with Mr. Fogg winning the bet and his marriage with Aouda.From this story, we can see the author’s deep love for the sea, travel and adventure, which played and important role in his life. We are also astonished and convinced by his fertile imagination and scientific and geographical knowledge.The story is so well-knit and fascination that the reader cannot put down the book before he finishes reading it.

A Book Report of a Thousand Splendid SunsWenjing Shi Translation 152 1507042034Brief IntroductionA Thousand Splendid Suns is a 2007 novel by Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini. It is his second, following his bestselling 2003 debut, The Kite Runner. Mariam is an illegitimate child, and suffers from both the stigma surrounding her birth along with the abuse she faces throughout her marriage. Laila, born a generation later, is comparatively privileged during her youth until their lives intersect and she is also forced to accept a marriage proposal from Rasheed, Mariam's husband.The author Hosseini has remarked that he regards the novel as a "mother-daughter story" in contrast to The Kite Runner, which he considers a "father-son story".It continues some of the themes used in his previous work, such as the familial aspects, but focuses primarily on female characters and their roles in Afghan society.The Author &BackgroundKhaled Hosseini ( born March 4, 1965) is an Afghan-born American novelist and physician. After graduating from college, he worked as a doctor in California, an occupation that he likened to "an arranged marriage". He has published three novels, most notably his 2003 debut The Kite Runner, all of which are at least partially set in Afghanistan and feature an Afghan as the protagonist. Following the success of The Kite Runner he retired from medicine to write full-time. Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan. His father worked as a diplomat, and when Hosseini was 11 years old, the family moved to France; four years later, they applied for asylum in the United States, where he later became a citizen. Hosseini did notreturn to Afghanistan until 2001 at the age of 36, where he "felt like a tourist in his own country".Hosseini visited Afghanistan in 2003, and "heard so many stories about what happened to women, the tragedies that they had endured, the difficulties, the gender-based violence that they had suffered, the discrimination, the being barred from active life during the Taliban, having their movement restricted, being banned essentially from practicing their legal, social rights, political rights".This motivated him to write a novel centered on two Afghan women.TitleThe title of the book comes from a line in the Josephine Davis translation of the poem "Kabul", by the 17th-century Iranian poet Saib Tabrizi:"Every street of Kabul is enthralling to the eyeThrough the bazaars, caravans of Egypt passOne could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofsAnd the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls"In an interview, Khaled Hosseini explains, "I was searching for English translations of poems about Kabul, for use in a scene where a character bemoans leaving his beloved city, when I found this particular verse. I realized that I had found not only the right line for the scene, but also an evocative title in the phrase 'a thousand splendid suns,' which appears in the next-to-last stanza."SummaryThe novel centers around two women, Mariam and Laila, how their lives become intertwined after a series of drastic events, and their subsequent friendship and support for each other in the backdrop of Kabul in the 20th and 21st century. It is splitinto four parts that focus on individual stories: Part one is about Mariam, part two is on Laila, part three is on the relationship between the two women, and Laila's life with Tariq is in part four. The last section also happens to be the only part written in the present tense.Mariam lives in a kolba on the outskirts of Herat with her embittered mother. Jalil, her father, is a wealthy businessman who owns a cinema and lives in the town with three wives and nine children. Mariam is his illegitimate daughter,and she is prohibited to live with them, but Jalil visits her every Thursday. On her fifteenth birthday, Mariam wants her father to take her to see Pinocchio at his movie theater, against the pleas of her mother. When he does not show up, she hikes into town and goes to his house. He refuses to see her, and she ends up sleeping on the street. In the morning, Mariam returns home to find that her mother has committed suicide out of fear that her daughter had deserted her. Mariam is then taken to live in her father's house. Jalil arranges for her to be married to Rasheed, a shoemaker from Kabul who isthirty-years her senior. In Kabul, Mariam becomes pregnant seven successive times, but is never able to carry a child to term. This is a sad, disquieting reality for both Rasheed and Mariam. Ultimately Rasheed grows more and more despondent over his wife's inability to have a child and particularly a son. As their marriage wears on Rasheed gradually becomes more and more abusive.Part Two introduces Laila. She is a girl growing up in Kabul who is close friends with Tariq, a boy living in her neighborhood. They eventually develop a romantic relationship despite being aware of the social boundaries between men and women in Afghan society. War comes to Afghanistan, and Kabul is bombarded by rocket attacks. Tariq's family decides to leave the city, and the emotional farewell between Laila and Tariq culminates with them making love. Laila's family also decides to leave Kabul, but as they are packing a rocket destroys the house, killing her parents and severely injuring Laila. Laila is subsequently taken in by Rasheed and Mariam.After recovering from her injuries, Laila discovers that she is pregnant with Tariq's child. After being informed by Abdul Sharif that Tariq has died, she agrees to marry Rasheed, a man eager to have a young and attractive second wife in hopes of having a son with her. When Laila gives birth to a daughter, Aziza, Rasheed is displeased and suspicious. This results in him becoming abusive towards Laila. Mariam and Laila eventually become confidants and best friends. They plan to run away from Rasheed and leave Kabul but are caught at the bus station. Rasheed beats them and deprives them of water for several days, almost killing Aziza.A few years later, Laila gives birth to Zalmai, Rasheed's son. The Taliban has risen to power and imposed harsh rules on the Afghan population, prohibiting women from appearing in public without a male relative. There is a drought, and living conditions in Kabul become poor. Rasheed's workshop burns down, and he is forced to take jobs for which he is ill-suited. He sends Aziza to an orphanage. Laila endures a number of beatings from the Taliban when caught alone on the streets in attempts to visit her daughter.Then one day Tariq appears outside the house, and he and Laila are reunited. Laila realizes that Rasheed had hired Abdul Sharif to inform her about Tariq's fake death, so that he could marry her. When Rasheed returns home from work, Zalmai tells his father about the visitor. Rasheed starts to savagely beat Laila. He nearly strangles her, but Mariam intervenes and kills Rasheed with a shovel. Afterwards, Mariam confesses to killing Rasheed in order to draw attention away from Laila and Tariq. Mariam is publicly executed, allowing Laila and Tariq to leave for Pakistan with Aziza and Zalmai. They spend their days working at a guest house in Murree, a summer retreat.After the fall of the Taliban, Laila and Tariq return to Afghanistan. They stop in the village where Mariam was raised, and discover a package that Mariam's father left behind for her: a videotape of Pinocchio, a small sack of money, and a letter. Laila reads the letter and discovers that Jalil had regretted sending Mariam away. Laila andTariq return to Kabul and use the money to fix up the orphanage, where Laila starts working as a teacher. Laila is pregnant with her third child, and if it is a girl, Laila has already named her Mariam.CommentsAfter reading the novel,I am deeply touched and shocked.I am touched by the patience and suffering of Mariam and the friendship between Mariam and Laila.I am shocked by the violence and abuse of Rasheed.It is a beautiful, heart-wrenching story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely bond and an indestructible love. Although Mariam and Laila suffer many pains, yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism. In the end it is love that triumphs over death and destruction.Love may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you consider the war-ravaged landscape of Afghanistan. But that is the emotion—subterranean, powerful, beautiful, illicit, and infinitely patient—that suffuses the pages of Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns. As in his best-selling first novel,The Kite Runner, Hosseini movingly examines the connections between unlikely friends, the fissures that open up between parents and children, the intransigence of quiet hearts. Nowadays,there are still many wars in this land threatening the lives of the people stay there.And I wonder how will these Afghan women do, and more important, what can WE do.Style &TechniqueA Thousand Splendid Suns received significant praise from reviewers, with Publishers Weekly calling it "a powerful, harrowing depiction of Afghanistan"and USA Today describing the prose as "achingly beautiful".Lisa See of The New York Times attributed the book's success to Hosseini "understanding the power of emotion as few other popular writers do".Natasha Walter from The Guardian wrote, "Hosseini is skilled at telling a certain kind of story, in which events that may seem unbearable - violence, misery and abuse - are made readable. He doesn't gloss over the horrors his characters live through, but something about his direct, explanatory style and the sense that you are moving towards a redemptive ending makes the whole narrative, for all its tragedies, slip down rather easily."。

英语读书报告(优秀7篇)英语读书报告篇一Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice is a lighthearted tale of love and marriage in eighteenth-century England. It centers on the elder sisters of the Bennet family, Jane and Elizabeth. Their personalities, misunderstandings and the roles of pride and prejudice play a lavishing story. This story is told from third point of view. From my perspective Jane Austen wanted to convey love wins over prejudice and to not just take in the saying of first impression but to look in the person's character deeper. Jane Austin was born in 1775 in Stevenson, Hampshire. Her family wasn't rich but managed to give her a decent education. She was the seventh of eight children of her father, a clergyman. Like other young women of her social class, Jane and her sister Cassandra were educated mostly at home in subjects of music, drawing, painting, needlework, and social behavior. Her father's encouragement and her own enjoyment in reading led Jane to became very well read. At fourteen she began to write little plays for home theatricals. She also wrote nonsense story's to entertain her family. Jane would spend the majority of the evening in the corner of the room with her manuscript and blotter observing the world surrounding her. She would write when the room was quiet and if she were interrupted, she would cover her manuscript with a blotter and continued when the room was silent again. Before Jane Austen died of cancer in 1817 at Winchester, she had already published six successful novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion, respectively. Jane Austen is now buried in the ancient cathedral in Winchester of her native Hampshire. Pride and Prejudice lets you travel through lives back then but also she portrays the lives of modern days. You can read it and you might be able to recall some parts of the book as your life, but in a different time period如何写英语读书报告篇二技术部新员工工作总结来到公司已经有一个多月了,在公司的点点滴滴都让我受益匪浅!不管是在原画、动画还是软件的运用上都让我学到了很多的知识!这些知识可能是我在人生中重要的一笔!作为公司新人,在工作实践中我学到了很多知识。
book report英语模板I recently finished reading a fascinating book, and I felt compelled to share my thoughts on it. The book, titled "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a classic piece of American literature that explores themes of wealth, love, and the pursuit of the American Dream. It tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a wealthy and mysterious man who throws lavish parties in hopes of winning back the love of his life, Daisy Buchanan.最近我读完了一本令人着迷的书,我感到有必要分享一下我的想法。
这本书的题目是《了不起的盖茨比》,作者是F·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德,是一部探讨财富、爱情和追求美国梦主题的经典美国文学作品。
它讲述了杰·盖茨比这个富有而神秘的男人,他举办盛大的派对,希望能够重新赢回他心爱的女人黛西·布坎南的心。
One of the aspects of "The Great Gatsby" that I found most intriguing was its exploration of the idea of the American Dream. Gatsby is a character who embodies the belief that with enough wealth and determination, one can achieve anything they desire.However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Gatsby's pursuit of the American Dream ultimately leads to his downfall.《了不起的盖茨比》中让我最感兴趣的一个方面是它对美国梦这一概念的探讨。

Recently, I read a book called "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. This classic novel tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet, a strong-willed young woman, and her tumultuous relationship with the enigmatic Mr. Darcy. The novel explores themes of love, class, and societal expectations in 19th century England.最近,我读了一本简·奥斯汀(Jane Austen)的《傲慢与偏见》。
这部经典小说讲述了伊丽莎白·班纳特(Elizabeth Bennet)这个意志坚强的年轻女子及她与神秘的达西先生之间动荡不安的关系。
小说探讨了19世纪英格兰的爱情、阶级和社会期望等主题。
One of the aspects of the book that I found most captivating was the character development. Elizabeth Bennet is a complex and multi-dimensional character who undergoes significant growth throughout the novel. She starts off as a prejudiced and judgmental young woman but gradually learns to see beyond surface appearances.我觉得这本书最迷人的一点是人物塑造。
