a reading report of wuthering heights
the book i have read this term is wuthering heights. emily bronte
(1818-1848) is perhaps the greatest writer of the three bronte sisters——charlotte bronte, emily, and anne bronte. emily bronte published only one novel, wuthering heights (1847). some of her best lyric are also rated with the best in english poetry. her famous poems are love and friendship, the bluebell.
a man named lockwood rents a manor house called thrushcross
grange where the housekeeper nelly tells him the story here. one day, mr. earnshaw, the owner of the manor, goes to liverpool and returns home with an orphan boy. at first, the earnshaw children——a boy named hindley and his younger sister catherine ——detest heathcliff. but catherine quickly comes to love him. mr. earnshaw prefers him to his own son, and he sends hindley away to college when he treats heathcliff badly.
then mr. earnshaw dies, and hindley returns with a wife. he treats
heathcliff as a labor to seek revenge on him. one night, heathcliff and catherine wander to thrushcross grange. catherine is bitten by a dog and is forced to stay at the the grange. during that time, she infatuates with edgar. catherine’s desire for social advancement prompts her to become engaged to edgar linton. heathcliff runs aways froms wuthering heights, and returning shortly after catherine and edgar’s marriage. then he deviously lends money to drunken hindley. when hindley dies, he inherits the manor. he places himself in line to inherit thrushcross grange by marring isabella linton. catherine becomes ill, she gives birth to a daughter and dies. shortly therefore, isabella flees to london and gives birth to heathcliff’s son, named hareton. thirteen years pass, young catherine meets hareton. they began a secret
romance. linton pursues catherine only because his father forces him to. when edgar nears death, heathcliff lures and holds catherine prisoner until she marries linton. then edgar and linton die soon. six months later, lockwood returns, and finds that catherine grows to love hareton as they live together and plan to be married. heathcliff becomes more and more obsessed with elder catherine, and then dies soon.
wuthering heights is a classic tragedy of love. i am surprised by how
much i like it. this is a book that talks about the death of romantic notions, even the relatively happen ending doesn’t reduce its sorrow. when i was wrapped up in the story, i am so moved by their true love and felt sadness deep in my heart. after reading the whole story, i would like to talk about the main character of the story——catherine earnshaw and her choice of marriage. catherine does love heathcliff very much for he is more herself than she is, but her choice of love really leads to the tragedy. in catherine’s life, she made a very important decision in her life——marrying to edgar. in fact, her love for edgar can never be compared to that for heathcliff. she did so, because she thought the wealth of edgar would be useful to help heathcliff. heathcliff is a man full of retaliations. he loved catherine very much, but what he did, on the contrary, added to the misery of catherine, he should not walk into catherine’s life again after his disappearance. at the same time, his revenge on young catherine and edgar as well as his own son seems so ridiculous and can only bring himself with endless sadness.
as far as i am concerned, the choice between true love and high
social status is so difficult. many people say that the life is real, you can not make a living only depend on romance, so most people persuade me to marry to a rich man. in the modern life, if one man has no house or money, it is difficult for him to find a wife. so we can not get rid of thinking of this fact. different people have different attitudes towards happiness. they should choose unique love from which they can find what they like best, in order that
they can stay happy all their lives.
after reading, i have a better understanding of love. if you really love
someone, his or her happiness is the most matters. not having a right understanding of and attitudes towards love will only result in hurting yourself as well as the one you love. in a ward, love is the permanent theme of literature and human beings. people often struggle in those troubling romantic notions. to be or not to be, it’s really a question. however, which kind of marriage one should choose depends all on his or her character and experience, no one else can make choice for them and that’s why every love story is unique.

老人与海英语读后感
the old man and the sea is one of hemingway's most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. it played a great part in his winning the pulizer prize in 1953 and the 1954 novel prize for literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. besides the old man and the sea, i have read some of his other works, such as the sun also rises, a farewell to arms and the snow of kilimanijaro. but the old man and the sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.
i first read this book when i was in my fifteens. and now i remember it just as well as if i had read it yesterday.
pride and prejudice is a chefdoeuvre. my first impression of this story was from screen.
it's long long ago, maybe before i can read english books. i don't remember which movie edition i had seen. but i was impressed by the
music, the scenery and the costume. i was very favor of a section of music in its balls. it's pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. regarding to the characters, i liked elizabeth, the heroine,though i didn't think she's beautiful. but she's smart. however, i didn't pay much attention to the plot. i thought it's so long that it made me impatient and bored. by now, i haven't read the whole story in english or its chinese version, either. i owe it to my prejudice.
in fact, i didn't understand the story at that time. i didn't know why it called pride and prejudice. of course someone was pride, but i didn't find where' s the prejudice. i thought it's normal, the way people treated each other in that. i considered prejudice would be very disgusting. but to the movie everthing was ok in my minds, except its length. now, i think i have understood more about it. i'm a prejudiced person so i can't find where's wrong. i merely like to do the things i like. everytime i meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

第三篇:the pianist(英语名著读后感)
thepianist
the book “the pianist” is an autobiographical book written by wladyslaw szpilman, who was known as the most accomplished piano player in all of poland, even in europe in the 1930s. szpilman died in 2014 at the age of 88, and he wrote down the amazing story immediately after the liberation of poland, which tells his struggle to survive nazi occupation of poland during world war ii.
szpilman became subject to anti-jewish laws imposed by the conquering germans. by the start of the 1940s, szpilman had seen his world would go from piano concert halls to the jewish ghetto of warsaw and then must suffer the tragedy of his family deported to a death camp. at last deciding to escape, szpilman went into hiding as a jewish refugee where he was a witness to the warsaw ghetto uprising in 1943 and the warsaw city revolt in 1944.
in 1999, this book was rewarded as one of the best books. “ 'the pianist,' wladyslaw szpilman's remarkable memoir of his survival in warsaw between the years 1939 and 1945, is a significant contribution to the literature of remembrance, a document of lasting historical and human value. it has all the rawness and specificity of horrors painfully and uncomprehendingly withstood and afterward just as uncomprehendingly --but necessarily-- recorded. writing this book would seem to have been a further act of survival by a man who performed more of them in six years than most human beings do in a lifetime. there are many ways to read a book about the holocaust, and one of them, surely, inevitably, is to try to answer the unanswerable: what makes one man endure when so many others succumb? from szpilman's testimony we learn this: it is an ineffable and wholly unpredictable mixture of fate, determination, accident, instinct. to know wladyslaw szpilman is, in the most hopeless of contexts, to know a modicum of hope” (l.a.times sunday book review, december 5, 1999).it has been reprinted for many times and was translated to at least 30 kinds of languages. and it was also been made into a movie, which won three oscars: best director, best actor, and best adapted screenplay.
after finishing appreciating the book as well as the movie, i was deeply shocked
and moved. in the ghetto, people lived in fear from minute to minute, starving, ill, tired and witnessing scenes of unspeakable horror. people were shot at random by bored german soldiers; others were registered and sent to concentration camps.by contrast, we are so happy to live in the peaceful world, with enough food, sound body and freedom. there’s no excuse to complain, the only thing we should do is to cherish our beautiful life.
on the process of szpilman’s escape, a number of people help him to survive, including his friends and boss and even a germany caption. that remains me the humanity, which exists among people in every corner of the world. we all have families, we all have friends, and we all have the right to live. but do the germans really can’t understand this point? it seems that they take killing others as game, but after burning the dead bodies of the jews, they become talk about their own mothers…… war, it’s all because the war. how many innocent people die? how much unnecessary loss is caused?
in the end, i would say that everyone has the responsibility to object to and avoid violence and wars, and we must build a harmonious world through our own efforts. then we can really live a happy life.

macbeth
macbeth is one of the scriptures written by shakespeare. the story is filled with blood and its plot twists and tums .
at first, macbeth was a heroic warrior whom the king depended on and trusted. but after he heard what the three hags said and believed it, and after his wife’s urging, the desire to murder, like an iron mask, came down over his human features . from this point, there was no going back.. he killed the king ,his friend banquo and all the family members of macduff successively in order to get the statues of king and keep it. macbeth ad too much blood on his hands! just as the saying goes, ‘you must reap what you have sow,’ macbeth’s wife became mad and died and macbeth failed to stem the revolt and was killed by macduff.
from this story, i see the changes of macbeth’s feature. at first, he was soft with a clear conscience. however, at last, he no longer felt guilty or agonized , killing men was like swatting flies to him. his human nature was buried by benefit. everyone will pay the price for any thing that he did. te biter is sometimes bit. as a students, i think we shouldn’t intrigue against each other but help each other instead in order to make our common ambitions come true.
wuthering heights
wuthering heights is a well-written tragedy of love. i think cathy is a real dangerous beauty who caused the tragedy because of her vanity. heathcliff or edgar, she chose edgar because she thought that it would degrade her to marry heathcliff. then,the revenge of heathcliff started. heathcliff came back with a lot of money and cheated hindley’s belongings by a card game. he married edgar’s sister isabella and hijacked little catherine and forced her to be married with his dying son. he had given all his love to cathy and his heart turned into a stone as soon as cathy was married to edgar. the only thing to our happiness was that little catherine fell in love with hareton and the revenge was over at last.
as we all know, love should be selfless and holy. it shouldn’t be connected with one’s status,health,property or anything else. just as the buzzword goes,“i love you not because of who you are, but because of who l am with you.” love is the purest thing in the word that exceeds glacial melt water. at least, love is far away from revenge.
the story is wonderful and everyone who reads it would be touched and moved. it is mixed with love and hate, happiness and sadness. wuthering heights is a book worth reading because it can give you so much lessons about life. try to read it and you won’t regret it!

feelings of reading jane eyre useful expression
1) [useful expression] (p.47)
if all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.
2) [useful expression] (p.231)
prejudices, it is well known, as most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.
3) [useful expression] (p.40)
life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs.
the type of materials in this book is written in english, and the topic area is literature. i spent reading the book for 2 months.
in the world history of literature, some many classical famous works are going to be immortal, but jane eyre deeply enters people's soul deeply, it by irresistible intrinsic deep has attracted the tens of thousands of readers deeply, has affected people's inner world, is in the world history of literature the eternal classics.
when jane eyre was a baby, her parents died. so she had to live with her uncle and his family. unfortunately, her uncle also went away several years later.then jane was sent to the logwood, which was a charity school and became a teacher there when she grown up. later she left it to become a governess of adela varens, the ward of mr. edward rochester, a thornfield manor. later, jane and mr. rochester fell in love with each other, and they decided to get married. but mr. rochester was revealed that he had a wife during the wedding ceremony. so jane left thornfield and mr. rochester. otherwise mr. rochester’s wife was crazy. one day, she made a fire. mr. rochester tried his best to save his wife, but failed and his eyes were burnt and he became blind.the terrible news came to jane, she came back to mr. rochester hurriedly. jane told mr. rochester that she still loved him a lot, and tried her best to cheer him up. finally, they got married, and had a lovely baby.this book enthralled me with the charm of language, and brought home to me the great wealth of english words and phrases.but this book is too difficult to me, and i had to look up a number of words. if there are explains of some difficult words, i think it will be much better.the figure of jane eyre had the greatest impact on me. after i close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, jane eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think: i remember her goodness, her pursuit of justice, her self-respect and the clear situation on equality, her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…the writing of the book is effective, beautiful and even fascinating. the author is skillful in telling stories. i can easily find out the characters of these dramatis personages.behind the wonderful story, the author expressed her
strong dissatisfactions to the society then. the author thinks that people should be good educated, and everyone is equal, no matter male or female.the new facts that i hadn’t learn before is goodness.i remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.to me, i think that i can hardly forgive those people who have hurt me deeply. may be it is good enough that not to do some revenge.as a result of reading this book, her story makes me thinking about life and i learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real.i can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but as there are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not.in essence, bronte's novel became a direct assault on victorian morality. controversy based in its realistic exposure of thoughts once considered improper for a lady of the 19th century.emotions any respectable girl would repress. women at this time were not to feel passion, nor were they considered sexual beings.to conceive the thought of women expressing rage and blatantly retaliating against authority was defiance against the traditional role of women. jane eyre sent controversy through the literary community.for not only was it written by a woman but marked the first use of realistic characters. jane's complexity lied in her being neither holy good or evil. she was poor and plain in a time when society considered "an ugly woman a blot on the face of creation." it challenged victorian class structure in a strictly hierarchal society.a relationship between a lowly governess and a wealthy nobleman was simply unheard of. bronte drew criticism for her attack on the aristocracy who she deemed as hypocritical "showy but ... not genuine." she assaulted individual's already established morals by presenting a plausible case for bigamy.
