Essay One: A Reflection on "To Kill a Mockingbird"

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a classic American novel written by Harper Lee. It tells the story of Scout Finch, a young girl growing up in the racially divided town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the 1930s. As I read this powerful and thought-provoking novel, I couldn't help but be moved by its themes of prejudice, injustice, and the loss of innocence.

One of the main themes explored in "To Kill a Mockingbird" is racial prejudice. The novel takes place during a time when racism was deeply ingrained in American society, and Lee skillfully portrays the devastating effects of this prejudice on both black and white individuals. Through the character of Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of rape, the author exposes the inherent racism and injustice within the legal system. It is heartbreaking to witness the racism that permeates the courtroom, as Tom is unfairly convicted despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence.

Another theme that deeply resonated with me is the loss of innocence. Scout Finch, the narrator of the story, starts off as an innocent and naive young girl. However, as she witnesses the injustice and cruelty of the world around her, her innocence is gradually shattered. This loss of innocence is also symbolized by the mockingbird, a recurring motif throughout the novel. The mockingbird represents innocence and purity, and the killing of a mockingbird is seen as a sin. This metaphor serves as a reminder of the destructive nature of prejudice and hatred.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" also explores the importance of empathy and understanding. Atticus Finch, Scout's father, is a moral compass in the novel. He teaches his children to look beyond the surface and to see the humanity in others. Through his unwavering belief in justice and equality, Atticus becomes a symbol of hope and righteousness in a town plagued by prejudice. His lessons on empathy and compassion serve as a reminder of the power of understanding in overcoming prejudice.

In conclusion, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a timeless novel that tackles important themes such as prejudice, injustice, and the loss of innocence. Harper Lee's writing is powerful and evocative, and she skillfully captures the complexities of human nature. This novel serves as a stark reminder of the importance of empathy and understanding in a world often plagued by prejudice and hatred. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a must-read for anyone seeking to better understand the human condition.

Essay Two: Reflections on "The Great Gatsby"

"The Great Gatsby" is a classic American novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the 1920s, it explores themes of wealth, love, and the American Dream. As I read this captivating novel, I was struck by its portrayal of the pursuit of happiness and the emptiness that can accompany material success.

One of the central themes in "The Great Gatsby" is the corrupting influence of wealth. The characters in the novel are obsessed with material possessions and the image of success. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that wealth does not guarantee happiness or fulfillment. Jay Gatsby, the enigmatic protagonist, is the embodiment of this pursuit of wealth and status. Despite his immense wealth, he is ultimately unable to find true happiness, as his obsession with the past and his unattainable love for Daisy Buchanan consume him.

Another theme that struck me in "The Great Gatsby" is the illusion of the American Dream. The characters in the novel believe that with enough wealth and social status, they can achieve happiness and fulfillment. However, Fitzgerald portrays the American Dream as empty and unattainable. The characters' pursuit of wealth and social status only leads to disillusionment and tragedy. This critique of the American Dream serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of materialism and the pursuit of empty desires.

"The Great Gatsby" also explores the theme of love and its complexities. The characters in the novel are driven by their desires and passions, often leading to destructive and tragic consequences. The love between Gatsby and Daisy is portrayed as shallow and superficial, based on external appearances rather than genuine connection. This depiction of love serves as a critique of the superficiality and shallowness of society in the 1920s.

In conclusion, "The Great Gatsby" is a thought-provoking novel that explores themes of wealth, love, and the illusory nature of the American Dream. Fitzgerald's writing is beautifully crafted, and he skillfully captures the complexities of human desires and the emptiness that can accompany material success. This novel serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of pursuing wealth and status at the expense of genuine happiness and fulfillment. "The Great Gatsby" is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.

（二）《老人与海

》英文读后感

　　I have read many books, which I learned a lot of knowledge, let me know a lot of truth in life, including a book, let me experience a deep, it is a famous writer Ernest Hemingway wrote, "Hits."

　　我读过许多书，它们让我学到了许多知识，也让我懂得了许多做人的道理，其中有一本书，让我体会很深，它就是着名作家海明威写的《老人与海》。

　　"Hits" This book talked about such a story, old fisherman Santiago de Cuba consecutive 84 days did not catch the fish, was another loser as a fisherman, but he was persistent, and finally caught a big marlin large Marlins his boat dragged on for three days at sea, exhausted, was tied to the boat he was killed on one side, and then Return Journey repeatedly been shark attacks, he has exhausted all means to counterattack. Back to Hong Kong only the head and a fish tail spine. Although the fish have bitten gone, but what can not destroy the will of his bravery. This book reveals to us a truth: people are not born to fail, and a person can be destroyed, but can not be defeated.

　　《老人与海》这本书讲了这么一个故事，古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续八十四天没捕到鱼，被别的渔夫看做失败者，可是他坚持不懈，终于钓到了一条大马林鱼，大马林鱼将他的小船在海上拖了三天才筋疲力尽，被他杀死了绑在小船的一边，再归程中一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击，他用尽了一切手段来反击。回港时只剩鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。尽管鱼肉都被咬去了，但什么也无法摧残他的英勇意志。这本书向我们揭示了这样一个真理：人不是为了失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败。

　　Before I do anything as long as there is one point does not work well, they will retreat, and sometimes even say a few words dejected to say. In learning, I have a few tests as long as there is not very good there will be no confidence that their getting good grades. "Hits", the hero fighting with the shark, shark harpoon was taken away, he put the knife blade tied to tie chaos. Knife broke, he used truncheons. Batons have lost, and he used the rudder to come to play. This book reveals the truth, not to explain a man no matter what my greatest fear is the lack of confidence. Confidence is like a motor car, is a human motivation. If you do one thing with the confidence, you mean half the battle. The hero in this book are full of confidence and perseverance, not exactly what I indispensable?

　　以前，我做什么事只要有一点不顺利，就会退缩，有时还会说上几句垂头丧气的话。在学习上，我只要有几次考试不是很理想就没有信心，认为自己考不到好成绩。《老人与海》中，主人公与鲨鱼搏斗，鱼叉被鲨鱼带走了，他把小刀绑在桨把上乱扎。刀子折断了，他用短棍。短棍也丢掉了，他用舵把来打。这本书揭示出的真理，不就说明了人无论怎样，最怕的就是没有信心。信心就好比是汽车的马达，是人前进的动力。如果你做一件事有了信心，你就等于成功了一半。这本书中主人公充满信心、锲而不舍的精神，不正是我所缺少的吗？

Language examinations in the afternoon, I have done every Road topics are especially careful. Sure enough, I was class of the first language examinations, total score, I am also a first.

　　自从读了这本书之后，我知道了自己的不足，学习上不再因为一两次不顺利而失去信心，而是越考不好，就越要考好。在期末考试的那一天，上午的两门功课成绩，我没有班里的某一个同学好，但是我并不服输，反而信心倍增，决心打一个翻身仗。下午的语文考试，我做每一道题目都格外仔细。果然，我语文考试是班里的第一名，总成绩上，我也是第一名。

　　In the future, I do not care what difficulties we encountered, we must face with confidence, persist in the end, and never retreat. I want to thank the book, for which I have learned so much, thank it for me to understand so many reasons, for it let me know his own shortcomings and correct their shortcomings in time, so I became a socially useful people.

　　今后，我不管遇到什么困难，都要信心十足地去面对，坚持到底，决不退缩。我要感谢书，感谢它让我学到了那么多知识，感谢它让我懂得了那么多道理，感谢它让我知道自己的不足，及时改正自己的缺点，使我成为一个对社会有用的人。

（三）

　　I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. This is definitely a book everyone can relate to.

　　The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the Mississippi River called St. Petersburg. The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life.

　　Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. The book is filled with Tom's adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of. The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.

　　The book is a little difficult to read at first. Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms （which I'm sure uses terms even young children already know）， the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.

　　故事的主人公汤姆是个天真、活泼而又顽皮的典型美国少年。他和野孩子夏克，各干出了许多令人捧腹的妙事。像汤姆被罚粉刷围墙，竟施出诡计，不但使别的孩子心甘情愿代替他工作，还自动奉上谢礼。后来和夏克逃到荒岛去，人们以为他们淹死了，正在教堂为他们举行丧礼，而他们却躲在教堂的钟楼上偷听。这些顽皮的举动，虽然不能给我们做模范，但是，他为了正义，毅然地挺身出来作证人，拯救那无辜的罪犯沫夫彼得。并在顽皮之余，居然和夏克破获了一桩谋杀案，成为众人钦佩的小英雄。看来，汤姆也有值得我们学习的地方。()

　　人总是会长大的，除了个儿长高了，身子强壮了以外，人的思想也在长。你对世界的看法不同了，懂事了，不再幼稚了。不过人是要越变越好才是。千万不能像历险记里的那个心狠手辣的坏蛋卓伊一样，他坏事做尽，人见人憎。但最后他还是恶有恶报，得到了一个活活饿死在山洞里的下场。

　　看完《汤姆索亚历险记》，我真羡慕汤姆能有如此有趣的经历。这本书让人看起来津津有味，甚至废寝忘食。我想，《汤姆索亚历险记》在你烦闷的时候或许能让你一笑解千愁。
