carrie was such an ordinary rural girl at the beginning of the story. sitting on the seat of a bus, she couldn‘t help feeling exciting at the sight of the metropolis‘ spectacle. she was impressed deeply by large crowd on the avenue, the spacious square or tall buildings.

far more different from other heroines, carrie was not a plain pure angel like snow-white, nor was she brave enough to be a heroine of revolutionist or even a reformer, nor was she so clever as to be a successful career woman who start from scratch.

what attracted her most, after her entering this huge metropolis was the incredible fineries, fashion shoes, smart handbags displaying in the shop windows, the jewellerys shining brightly behind the glass. she dreamed that one day, she could wear all of these, jogging gracefully into the most luxurious hotel with focused sights of admiration.

and this was not merely a dream. because she had large eyes which can earn others’ sympathy, even love. she had wonderful figure which can win others’ hearts. however, anything she got, anywhere she reached, had not come from her ambition. things happened, and then she accepted. that‘s what she had just done ? just to accept willingly from the bottom of her heart. she was not at all an evil woman who would give anything for the fortune or fame. however, she would give uo something for a better life when her instinct defeated her intellect.

that was carrie, a girl had her own desire, a human being just like many others in the realistic world.

there’s one sentence written in chapter viii:” when this jangle of free-will instinct shall have been adjusted, when perfect understanding has given the former the power to replace the latter entirely, man will no longer vary.” however, how many people can go that further.

and i want to quote another sentence to wind up my essay:

“in carrie ? as in how many of our wordings do they not? ? instinct and reason, desire and understanding, were at war for the mastery.”

" hamlet " of shakespear is a classical representative work. this book certainly does not have the big difference in the superficial plot with the historical fable, spoke or the danish prince the story which revenged for the father, in which fills the rank smell of blood violence and like the dramatis personae horatio said: " you may hear to to rape massacre, the unusual repair behavior, the dark center decision, accidental slaughter, borrows the hand murder , as well as falls into suicide result." windingly elects the plot, tightly centers on the revenge to launch. hamlet wittenberg hurries back the home in a hurry from germany, is attends his father's funeral, enables him to accept, he not catches up with father's funeral, actually witnessed the mother and the uncle claudius' wedding ceremony, this had caused hamm the wright suspicion at the heart, added night above meets in the royal palace castle with father's ghost, the ghost sorrow sued, this pile atrocity was uncle hamlet the behavior, and wanted him to revenge for the this, he started the difficult revenge course, launched the life and death contest with claudius. finally, sent out sword the revenge to claudius hamlet is a man with contradictory,he had many chances to kill claudius,but he hesitated,which reflects the religious thought poisons.

外國名著英語讀書筆記 The Little Prince2019外國名著讀書筆記（2） | 返回目錄

despite i‘ve not in my childhood yet, i still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. the tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. this summer i‘ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. it‘s the world-famous fairy-tale by the french author, antoine de st-exupery, the little prince.

as many other fairy-tales, the outline of the little prince is not very complex. ―i‖, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the sahara. in this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the asteroid b612. the little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. in that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.

on his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. from these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the sahara, on the earth.

traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. at that time a fox appears. the fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word ―tame‖, becomes his new friend. at the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. from that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.

at the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot‘s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. ―it‘s too far. i can not carry this body with me. it‘s too heavy.‖ he said. he tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. at the end the author doesn‘t tell us the ending directly. maybe it‘s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.

one of the important characters is the rose. growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot. in spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy. on the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him. the character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds. on the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up‘s world. the real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, i guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others ―matters of consequence‖ of the grown-ups.

unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot. i seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before. well, now i can say, with my short sixteen-year‘s life experience, it‘s like the stars in the sky that lit my heart. the little prince is not only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers. nevertheless, when i read this book, i feel a little sad – about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence.

外國名著英語讀書筆記 Gone with the wind2019外國名著讀書筆記（3） | 返回目錄

one of my friends had recommended the book gone with the wind almost two years’ ago, but my reading plan was just put off, for the book is really too thick and i even no courage to start. however, this semester i made my mind to read and i found myself was totally lost in the absorbing plots and the attractive characters the author portrayed. i was impressed by the war, the love and the hero scarlett o’hara, who would also be a charming and successful woman in today’s modern society, i think.

scarlett is a dark-haired, green-eyed georgia belle who struggles through the hardship of the civil war and reconstruction. she exhibits more of her father’s hard-headedness than her mother’s refined southern manners. determination defines scarlett and drives her to achieve everything she desires by any means necessary. 1, pursuing her love bravely.

scarlett aims to win ashley wilkes, and her failure to do so guides the plot of the novel. ashley’s marriage to melanie and rejection of scarlett drive nearly all of scarlett’s important subsequence decisions. scarlett marries charles hamilton to hurt ashley, stays by melanie’s side through the war because she promise ashley she will, and loses her true love, rhett butler, because of her persistent desire to win ashley. without hesitation for pursuing her love, she is a little blind to love. however, her courage is inspiring. after all, love always makes people lose sense. 2, facing the war fearfully.

on the night the yankees capture atlanta and set it afire, scarlett drives the cart all night and day through a dangerous forest full of deserters and soldiers, at last reaching tara. she arrives to find that her mother, ellen, is dead; her father, gerald, has lost his mind; and the yankee army has looted the plantation, leaving no food or cotton. scavenging for subsistence desperately, scarlett vows never to go hungry again. scarlett takes charge of rebuilding tara. she murders a yankee thief and puts out a fire set by a spiteful yankee soldier. what a great girl she is! instead of feeling afraid and waiting for others to help her, she bears the burden of rebuilding the tara by herself. i admire her so much; for i have the same belief---- heaven helps those who help themselves! 3, gifted in business.

when scarlett takes advantage of frank’s immobility, going to the store to see the account books, she quickly realizes that frank runs the business badly—his friends owe him vast sums of money that he is too embarrassed to collect. scarlett thinks she could do a much better job in strictly male world of business and begins to think of acquiring a sawmill. devoting all her time to the mill and turning a sizeable profit by any means necessary, she becomes the only successful businesswoman in atlanta. in that age, it is really a big challenge for women and she has the confidence and courage to challenge it.

scarlett’s development precisely mirrors the development of the american’s south. she changes from spoiled teenage to hard-working widow to wealthy opportunist, reflecting the south’s change from leisure society to besieged nation to compromised survivor. as selfish she is, her bravery and strong mind towards love and war really impress me a lot. when there is barrier, even disasters come, we can feel depressed or afraid, but never give up.

it is really a wonderful novel which worth being chewed!
