Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we 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:
We 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.
We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.
We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.
We also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…
When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.
Actually, she wasn’t pretty, and of course, the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her, even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease, so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre, she seemed quite contemptuous, for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. But as the little governess had said: ‘Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.
In my mind, though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance, such as beauty cannot last for, when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity, it’s not true, they will like the person no more. For a long time, only a person’s GREat virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as AN EVERLASTING BEAUTY, just as Kahill Gibran has said, that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’. 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.
Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty.
Not every story can become a classic, after watching Roman holiday", I learned a lot . the princess thirst for freedom.She met Jo Bradley in Rome, finally she had to leave him for her country.
Even the princess also have the life she didn't like, moreover us.
We are all desire freedom .Sometimes, too much work will make us feel tired, we can learn to relax ourselves and enjoy wonderful holidays but after the holidays, we also need to go back to our homes like the princess, and need to take on our responsibility.

The novel description is one year near sixty years of age senior fisherman, when alone goes to sea in one fishing, fished one big fish, actually did not pull. The senior fisherman socialized several days after the fish, only then discovered this was the big marlin which one surpassed the oneself fishing boat several fold, although knew perfectly well very difficult to win, but still did not give up. Afterwards and further because in the big marlin wound fish fishy smell brought in several crowds of shark fish snatches the food, but the old person still did not hope like this to give up, finally highlighted encircles tightly, returned to the big fish belt the fishing port, lets other fishermen not admire already.
When I read " the senior fisherman think: Here to the seacoast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place... " When, I extremely admire this senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation, but was approaches the bigger goal advance. Again has a look us, usually meets one slightly is difficult, we all complain incessantly. We will be the motherland future, will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration, will even better pursue even better, the bigger goal.
When I read " the big marlin start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover, twined the cable on the mast, the old person right hand lifted up high the steel fork, leapt the water surface in it the flash, did utmost throws to its heart, one wail ended the big fish's life, it was static static floats on the water surface... " When, my heart also liked together the big stone falls. I extremely admire old person that kind do not dread, the relentless spirit, although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly above. Just because had this kind of spirit, the senior fisherman only then achieved this life and death contest success. We also must study senior fisherman's spirit in life, handles the matter does not fear the difficulty, only then can obtain successfully.

On summer vacation of this year, I studied in novel " old man and sea " of Hemingway , famous writer of U.S.A. ,. I admire the old fisherman's will in the novel very much, he lets me understand that a person must have unremitting spirit, could succeed .
Man is not made for defeat,a man can be destroyed but he can not be defeated. Gently closing the book "the old man and the sea",I can't help thinking . In real life, encountering difficulty is unavoidable, the most important is to confront and have perseverance so that we can learn from failure.
If you've ever been poor, this movie may be hard to watch. It depicts poverty in America in gut wrenchingly accurate ways. I've been as poor as Chris Gardner, and, like him, I've been poor among very rich people in the Bay Area while trying to work my way up.
Chris Gardner is a loving father and failing businessman. He is chosen for a competitive internship at Dean Witter, a stock brokerage. The internship, which offers Chris a very long shot at a better life, doesn't pay any salary. Chris has to live without a salary for six months while risking just about everything for that long shot gamble.
Chris is really smart. He can solve a Rubrik's cube in minutes. But, he's poor. Poverty, like an octopus, keeps trying to suck him down to the bottom, and make him stay there.
His car is towed. His wife walks out on him, leaving him with a five year old son. He is arrested for unpaid traffic tickets. He becomes homeless. He has to rely on a homeless shelter.
All this while, he must appear for work in the morning in a suit and tie, and be ready to charm some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the Bay Area. These people take wealth so much for granted that two of them stiff him for cab fare.
Having lived through similar experiences, I cringed throughout this movie. My stomach hurt. I winced. I cried. I hugged my knees to my chest.
The movie is very accurate, but painful to watch. I hope a lot of rich people, who think that they understand poverty, see it.
This movie will be politically controversial. First of all, it doesn't touch the race issue with a ten foot pole. For example, when Chris appears to stiff a taxi driver for fare （it was really the rich white guy who failed to pay）， the taxi driver never uses the “n” word. In real life, I think he probably would have.
Is the movie afraid to talk about race, or does it not want to? I don't know, but I know that some will protest the movie's not shoving race in the movie goer's face. I'm not one of those people. The movie's approach to race -- treating it as almost incidental -- worked for me. As a poor white person, I can tell you that poor white people face the same obstacles Chris did.
Second, does the movie sell the message that if you work hard, you will succeed, no matter what, and does that message tell the truth about success in America? I think that the movie is open to interpretation. Some will see it as an indictment of poverty in America. The scene of carefree rich people driving past the line to get into a homeless shelter is pretty devastating. Other people will become angry because they believe that the movie's depiction of hard work leading to rewards, in some cases, is too facile. I disagree, but that's what you'll hear.
Third, is this movie meant to chastise black men who abandon their children? Chris is a role model exactly because he moves heaven and earth to be a good father to his son. This will be debated back and forth.
The movie has a big philosophical statement to make, that has been lost on many reviewers, for example, Richard Schickel in TIME.
Chris is shown running throughout the movie. Remember the title of the movie: “The PURSUIT of Happiness.” Chris places emphasis on “pursuit.” Jefferson, when he penned the Declaration of Independence, did not promise Americans happiness, but only the right to pursue it. Chris says, at one point in the movie, paraphrase, “I am happy right now. It is a fleeting moment.” We experience happiness in eyeblinks. The rest of the time we, like Chris, are chasing after it.
I don’t know for sure whether it is the cold or the movie that kept me tossing and turning in bed, but one thing is certain: many scattered fragments of the movie again and again flashed in my mind. My cell phone read 4:16 am at that time, but I was not sleepy at all. So I decided to get up and write something.
"The Pursuit of Happyness" -- the title comes from a misspelled schoolhouse mural -- has a lot on its mind but mostly this: If America is about the promise of bettering oneself, why does it have to be so freaking hard? In the movie, Jefferson's Declaration of Independence words about happiness kept recurring to Chris Gardner. Every day, Christ had to work hard from morning till night, but still could hardly make a living. Chris saw a bunch of suits, mostly male, pouring out of the Dean Witter Reynolds brokerage firm in downtown San Francisco. They all looked “happy,” “Why not me? “ Christ wondered. He did have an adorable boy, Christopher, but wife Linda was becoming a scarecrow of overworked anxiety. Finally, his wife left Christ because of life pressure, leaving him and her five-year-old son, Christopher. And naturally, Christ became a single father.
With the failure of his business, Christ had no money to pay for the rent, so they were driven away from the flat. They became homeless. They slept in asylum, subway station public bathroom or anywhere as a temporary shelter. The destitution of life was absolutely depressing, but for his son’s future, for his own belief, Christ never gave up and he still strongly believed that happiness would come one day if he worked hard enough today.
With his great efforts, Christ won a six-month internship at Dean Witter, but there was no pay at all. So on one hand, Christ had to work hard to make a living; on the other hand, he had to fight for his intern work, since only one of the twenty interns would succeed finally. Besides, he had to take good care of his son after day care. However, Christ made it with his amazing willpower.
Christ was unfortunate, for he got a wife who was not understandable at all (though she has her own difficulties) and was in bad luck with his business. But he was very fortunate also, for he got a son who was very thoughtful and, I think, tough life experiences always make a great person.
It is said that this movie is inspired by a true story, and I want to say, this movie does inspire me a lot. What impressed me most are: Christ’s wife left him because of life pressure; Christ’s love to his son and Christ’s strong belief towards life. Through these, I know that it is not easy to be a good husband and a good Papa, since in reality, only love cannot only make everything. And I also learn that one has to strongly believe in himself, no matter how difficult the situation is, but of course, hard-working is indispensable.
I like to watch The Pursuitof Happyness.
From Gardner, who realized that what I do is the real men and how to do good is the real father.
Christopher was from, I feel the child's innocence and ignorance, how is the good son.
You gotta dream, you gotta protect it. If you have a dream, you theprotection on it.
This is a great father to his son's care and education Christopher In many cases, we would like to see a movie may be silly to pass the time,saying that some of the good, or it may be trained to listen to hearing English spoken. This inspirational film, I look at it with the problem. What I can learn.
From despair to find hope Out of society, have no choice but to work hard, as long as solely, nothing is insurmountable unless heaven or hell.
Christopher's cute in his ignorance and innocence which Christopher has always been the man could in his father through thick and thin,no complaints. I'm impressed the most is his father said to him "I trust you",
I think this is that they are able to Gardner in countless ting in front of the biggest setbacks from the powerand reason.
"Jane Eyre" has been published since 87 years, and has been in the past many years. Time does not affect his light. Today he is still a great work. In the history of literature, many of the classic masterpiece will be immortal, but can look like "Jane Eyre" so deeply into people's souls, it has attracted tens of thousands of readers with an irresistible beauty, affecting people's spiritual world, even for some people, the work affects their lives not many.
Jane Eyre is a novel with autobiography, which explains the theme of human value = dignity + love.
The author of this book, Charlotte Bronte and Emily, the author of Wuthering Heights, are sisters. Though they live in the same living environment, they are quite different from their family environment. Charlotte's character is gentle, pure, and he likes to pursue some beautiful things more. Although she was poor in her family, she had little care from her parents, and she was not so beautiful and stature. But perhaps it is such a deep inferiority in soul, which reflects a very sensitive self-esteem in her character, and takes self-esteem as the compensation for her inferiority.
Her description of Jane's love is also a beautiful, small woman, but she has a very strong pride. She is unswervingly pursuing a good life.
Jane Eyre, living in an orphaned, happy environment, grew up under treatment with peers, abandoned aunt, cousin of contempt, insults and beatings cousin the ruthless trample on a child's dignity, but perhaps it is because of all this, Jane love unlimited confidence and a firm and inflexible spirit, which can overcome the inherent personality
Unfortunately, in the study life, Jane. Love is still suffering from corporal punishment and mental disability. School donor rocor Hearst not only when all the teachers and students face to defame her and put her shame on the stage show. She was ashamed in front of the whole school. But Jane. Love is firm and inflexible, turn grief into strength, not only the rapid progress in learning, but also made the teachers and students to understand. Soon, Jane. Love has fallen into the whirlpool of love. Her strong personality and also keep personal dignity, is great lady rival in front, favorably, overbearing for miss Ingram, she was calm in the face. Similarly, in front of Rochester, she never because he is an inferior status of the family teachers feel inferior, she thinks they are equal. It should not be because she is a servant, but not to be respected by others. It is also because of her integrity, noble and pure, the soul is not polluted by the secular society. Rochester zican are made of dirty, at the same time respect for her and deeply in love with her. He was sincere and moved her, and she accepted him. Later, Jane. Love found that Rochester had a wife, her self-esteem again appeared, without hesitation, she left him, her love for the exclusive, let me admire.
The ending of the novel is perfectly happy. Although the manor of Rochester was destroyed by his mad wife, his eyes were blind, and became a disabled person. But this is the fact that Jane is no longer in contradiction between dignity and love, but at the same time, he is happy.
The novel tells us that the most wonderfull life is human dignity and love, I really appreciate the author of this wonderful life ideal - is the dignity and love, after all, in today's society, the person's value = dignity + love this formula to pay to achieve often cannot do without the help of money. Choose between rich and poor, choose between love and no love. Few people will abandon everything for love, like Jane, and do not care.
In the face of setbacks, we should have a "thousand mill strike" ambition, as long as there is hope, do not give up, stand up, continue to move forward, because, after all the journey to buy a return ticket. The test of thousands of setbacks has created our persistent character, molded our strong will and trained our excellent skills and paved the way for us to succeed. In the setback, we have a little bit of strength, step by step to the glory. Let us full of "fate by the throat" of the lofty sentiments and aspirations to challenge setbacks, overcome setbacks!

To Regain the Nature of Goodness
—— Review of ‘Oliver Twist'
Oliver Twist， one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens'， is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century。
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London。
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist， an orphan， who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime。 He suffered enormous pain， such as hunger， thirst， beating and abuse。 While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver， I was shocked by his sufferings。 I felt for the poor boy， but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill。 To my relief， as was written in all the best stories， the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end。 One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft， little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs。 Maylie and Rose and began a new life。 He went for walks with them， or Rose read to him， and he worked hard at his lessons。 He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty。
Jane. Love living in a parents， sponsor， grew up under the environment of treatment with peers， aunt abandon， cousin contempt， cousin insults and beating of a child… this is the dignity of the ruthletrample， but perhaps because it all， Jane. Love and faith of infinite indomitable spirit， a kind of inner personality can win.
In rochester， she never because he is a teacher and the family status meanness， but that they feel inferior is equal. Should not because she is a servant， but not respected by others. Also because of her integrity， noble and pure heart， no pollution， secular society for the shock， and rochester her as a spiritual and equality in the conversation， and slowly and deeply in love with her.
Jane eyre itself to us is a kind of simplified， is a fanpiaoguizhen， is a kind of pursuit of whole heart feeling， is a kind of simplified feelings and neglected， it is like a cup of water， purify every reader's heart， also cause readers， especially female readers.
Recently, I have reading the book "Jane Eyre”.
Although I forgot some details in the book, Jane gave me deeply impression, I admire her very much. After that the teacher also told us to put the play in to a movie, and then we all can touch each hero’s soul in the book. The play it mainly tell us how Jane is growing up when suffering from great difficulties and painless. what's more, it is impressed me that she still love her master even if he is blind at last due to rescue his mad wife. And I like the Classic lines what Jane said to Mr. Rochester ："Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup?
Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal,--as we are!" its so beautiful, Jane is a girl who will never lose confidence in life and always sensible when handling with some motional problems. Jane was huge in my heart. She can control her life and fate. She knew how to continue her life and she got it!
Maybe after what she told me I have known that what love is and how to love and to be loved! The book is a book worth of reading, so all in all let’s enjoy it!
Learn to love and care
Here I am sitting on a couch alone， thinking about what I have just finished reading with tears of sadness filling my eyes and fire of indignation filling my heart， which revived my exhausted soul that has already been covered by the cruelty and the selfishness of the secular world for a long time。 It is truly what I felt after reading Oliver Twist， written by the prominent British author Charles Dickens。
The resonance between me and the book makes me feel not only the kindness and the wickedness of all the characters in the novel， but what this aloof society lacks， and what I lack deep inside。 These supreme resources I’m talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals， oil that we usually mention。 They’re abstract like feelings， and some kinds of spiritual stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from one another —— love and care。
Those charitable figures whom Dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life。 They showed love and care to others， just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth， which was carved into my heart deeply。
Mr。 Brownlow is one such person。
The other day he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by two skilled teenage thieves， Artful Dodger and Charley Bates， and thought naturally it was Oliver， who was an orphan and forced to live with a gang of thieves， that had done it because he was the only one near by after the theft had taken place。 Being wrathful， he caught Oliver， and sent him to the police station where the ill-tempered， unfair magistrates worked。 Fortunately for him， Oliver was proved innocent by one onlooker afterwards。 With sympathy， Mr。 Brownlow took the injured， poor Oliver to his own home。 There Oliver lived freely and gleefully for some months as if he were Mr。 Brownlow’s own son。 One day， however， Mr。 Brownlow asked Oliver to return some books to the bookseller and to send some money for the new books that he had already collected。 The thief Oliver once stayed with kidnapped him。 After that he disappeared in Mr。 Brownlow’s life。 Searching for a while， Mr。 Brownlow had to believe the fact that he had
run away with his money。 But dramatically， they came across each other again a few years later。 Without hesitation， Mr。 Brownlow took Oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil。
Perhaps most of us would feel confused about Mr。 Brownlow’s reaction。 But as a matter of fact， this is just the lesson we should learn from him。 Jesus said in the Bible。 “Forgive not seven times， but seventy-times seven。” Why is that? Because forgiveness is our ability to remove negative thoughts and neutralize them so our energy may be spent on doing what we came here for。 We cannot move forward in our future if past issues cloud our thinking。 Stop put Mr。 Brownlow into the list of your models。 Always give people a second chance no matter what they might have done。 That’s also a substantial part of loving and caring others。
Then there are Mrs。 Maylie and Rose， Oliver’s other benefactors。 Maybe the reason they loved and cared Oliver was not because of forgiveness。 In my point of view， it was trust。 They had faith in Oliver when he was considered to be a filthy burglar who tried to break the front door of Maylie’s at midnight。 But this wasn’t how these two ladies saw the whole thing。 They denied Oliver’s crime immediately and listened attentively to Oliver’s own description of his miserable life。 They were deeply touched by Oliver’s strong perseverance and astonishing vitality。 Accordingly， they remedied Oliver’s body and heart and turned him into a different boy。 He began to wear appropriate and clean suits which were tailor-made for him and receive education。
Santiago, an old man about sixty years old, fished alone with nothing caught in eighty four days. No one would like to talk to him for his extremely bad luck except a boy who always came to help after the day and finally left to another boat under the pressure of his parents. Ignoring the contempt from the younger fishermen and sympathy from the older, on the morning of the 85th day, the old man started his fishing with determination and rowed his old boat very far in the sea where he believed there would be big fish. Fortunately the old man met with a big fish as he had wished and finally defeated the big Marlin with two days and nights struggle after overcoming great difficulties. But more unfortunately there were many sharks coming after his boat attracted by the smell of the blood of the big Marlin. After death-and-life struggle, when he finally got rid of the sharks coming after the boat, the big Marlin was bare skeleton.
The Old Man and the Sea tells a frustrated experience of the old man who fishes alone in the sea in plain languages. Through the simple lines, a “tough guy” image is shaped and heroism is praised. The whole story starts with a peaceful beginning which is some trivial of life and talking with the boy, and suddenly turns to its climax which is the dangerous fighting with the big fish and sharks alone in the sea, and ends with the old man’s return with the bare skeleton of the big Marlin. Though the boy only appears at the beginning and the ending in the novel, he plays an indispensible role, it is his inspiring and supporting that helps the old man to be “graceful under heavy pressure”.
In the book, the old man prepared his fishing properly and preciously than any other fishermen so that “Then when luck comes you are ready” as the old man thought to himself. In reality, some of us keep complaining that they are born in wrong time or good luck never knocks their doors. In fact, good luck sometimes just comes when they are not ready. Taking Newton for example, if he had not acquired a lot, millions of apples could never make him discovery the gravity. So if we just keep studying as much as we can, good luck will finally find us and a bright future is ahead of us. The old man never gives up hope. When all of people think he is doomed, he still strongly believes that he will get a big fish. And he does. So never giving up hope is very important to us. This reminded me of the sentence in Churchill’s speech “Never give up, never, never, never…”. “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has always been inspiring me when I counter with some setbacks in my life. Setbacks are inevitable in pursuit of our goals, but we should never be frustrated and should be “graceful under heavy pressure” like the old man. It is his relentless pursuit that contributes to the victory.
Jane Eyre， is a poor but aspiring， small in body but huge in soul， obscure but self-respecting girl. After we 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:
We 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.
We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a panion with the goodness. But still， a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.
We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion， everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance， but all the human being are equal in personality.
We also remember her striving for life， her toughness and her confidence.
When we think of this girl， what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply， but a huge charm of her personality.
MISS AUSTEN never attempts to describe a scene or a class of society with which she was not herself thoroughly acquainted. The conversations of ladies with ladies, or of ladies and gentlemen together, are given, but no instance occurs of a scene in which men only are present. The uniform quality of her work is one most remarkable point to be observed in it. Let a volume be opened at any place: there is the same good English, the same refined style, the same simplicity and truth. There is never any deviation into the unnatural or exaggerated; and how worthy of all love and respect is the finely disciplined genius which rejects the forcible but transient modes of stimulating interest which can so easily be employed when desired, and which knows how to trust to the never-failing principles of human nature! This very trust has sometimes been made an objection to Miss Austen, and she has been accused of writing dull stories about ordinary people. But her supposed ordinary people are really not such very ordinary people. Let anyone who is inclined to criticise on this score endeavor to construct one character from among the ordinary people of his own acquaintance that shall be capable of interesting any reader for ten minutes. It will then be found how great has been the discrimination of Miss Austen in the selection of her characters, and how skillful is her treatment in the management of them. It is true that the events are for the most part those of daily life, and the feelings are those connected with the usual joys and griefs of familiar existence; but these are the very events and feelings upon which the happiness or misery of most of us depends; and the field which embraces them, to the exclusion of the wonderful, the sentimental, and the historical, is surely large enough, as it certainly admits of the most profitable cultivation.
In the end, too, the novel of daily real life is that of which we are least apt to weary: a round of fancy balls would tire the most vigorous admirers of variety in costume, and the return to plain clothes would be hailed with greater delight than their occasional relinquishment ever gives. Miss Austen's personages are always in plain clothes, but no two suits are alike: all are worn with their appropriate differen AS we should expect from such a life, Jane Austen's view of the world is genial, kindly, and, we repeat, free from anything like cynicism. It is that of a clear-sighted and somewhat satirical onlooker, loving what deserves love, and amusing herself with the foibles, the self-deceptions, the affectations of humanity. Refined almost to fastidiousness, she is hard upon vulgarity; not, however, on good-natured vulgarity, such as that of Mrs. Jennings in "Sense and Sensibility," but on vulgarity like that of Miss Steele, in the same novel, combined at once with effrontery and with meanness of soul.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness。 I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty。 Although I don't think goodness is omnipotent， yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded。
For me， the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person。 Goodness is to humans what water is to fish。 He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person。 On the contrary， as the famous saying goes， ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose'， he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person。 People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done， and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself。
To my disappointment， nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity。 They look down on people's honesty and kindness， thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted。 As a result， they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others。 On the other hand， they attach importance to money and benefit。 In their opinion， money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility。 If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness'， they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down。 They are one of the sorts that I really detest。
Francis Bacon said in his essay， ‘Goodness， of all virtues and dignities of the mind， is the greatest， being the character of the Deity， and without it， man is a busy， mischievous， wretched thing， no better than a kind of vermin。'
That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything。 Therefore， I， a kind person， want to tell those 'vermin-to-be' to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness。
Jane Eyre gives me much useful inspiration after reading it. I respect Jane Eyre’s independence and I am most impressed by the true love between jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester who was a poor blind man, twenty years older than her.
Jane Eyre never felt herself inferior as a tutor before Mr. Rochester and gained an equal status. She had lofty sentiments and was pure in mind. She had not been contaminated by common customs, so Mr.Rochester was attracted by her independent personality and falling love with her.
In the story, Jane Eyre dismissed the chaise and driver with the double remuneration, which reflected her determination to come back to Mr. Rochester. She did not know whether Mr. Rochester was really there, but she still groped about in the twilight and came to the desolate house. She missed him that much. She only hoped that Mr Rochester let her live with him even if she found Mr Rochester blind and mutilated.
Mr rochester became extremely excited when he heard and felt his beloved Jane was still living. He suggested that Jane marry one of the other young men because he thought himself as a sightless block. But he also showed his jealousy when Jane talked about St. John’s proposing marriage. All in all, Mr. Rochester was always loving Jane deeply.
Mr. Rochester once exclaimedJane,Jane!Janeand Jane heared Rochester’s voice calling to her. Her voice replied,I am coming. Wait for me I think these are the call of love and the answer of love.
Later on, after their marriage, Mr.Rochester miraculously regained his sight and lived happily with Jane.
Personally, love can fasten the hearts of lovers tightly. Love is beyond time and space and the miracle of love can lead prayers to become reality.
As far as we can see， it is trust that helps us all live together without precaution。 Sometimes trust can even lead us to miracles， which we often expect to e about， so why not trust? Trust yourself， trust others， and you’ll salute miracles every single day。
In the novel， though the young Oliver again and again fell for conspiracies of those hideous thieves， who tried to torture Oliver’s body and poisoned Oliver’s heart intensely， he always lived on and tried hard to seek for his own life。 Then I realized what supported him all through were actually beliefs。 In most cases， what you believe is what you’ll bee。 Believe that you are unlimited， that you can do anything you mit to doing， and when you do， your acplishments will know no bounds。 You control your beliefs and that is how you ultimately control your life。 It’s all dictated by your attitude。
In the final analysis， love and care contain numerous forms， there are love of forgiveness， love of trust， etc。 but they all e from your beliefs in life。 When someone tells you he’s deceived you， forgive him anyway， when someone tells you what he’s done， trust him anyway， and when you face adversities while chasing your dreams， think about your beliefs， then what hinders you will bee a piece of cake in no time。
So find out “Olivers” in your life and do as Mr。 Brownlow and Mrs。 Maylie do: love them and care them， which cost nothing but save much。 They enrich those who receive， without impoverishing those who give。 They can be certain smallest words or actions， but the memory of them sometimes last forever。
Charles Dickens said:“Love makes the world go around。” These immortal words have inspired and will keep on inspiring us to chant the melody of love and to say the prayer of care forevermore。 Let us， therefore， enjoy life and treat other people lovingly。 These principles are the roots and foundations of beliefs supporting this article and our mission together。

Book review of The Little Prince
The Little Prince is a tale for both children and adults. The Little Prince is the story of a man who crashes his airplane into the desert only to meet a traveling boy from a small planet. The boy inquires about trees and sheep, shares his journeys and various encounters, and then leaves. Yet, reading between the lines, the story offers a much more complex, eiching, satisfying and eye-opening moral: what matters in life is love - and caring about someone or something and maintaining that relationship. The prince loves his rose enough to care for it every night by protecting it with a glass globe and requesting a muzzle for his sheep. He knows that the rose is naive with only four purposeless thorns and, out of his loyalty to her, it is his duty to protect her. Likewise, the narrator loves the prince and feels an obligation to secure his safe journey home.
I read this book as a child and was infected with a sense of awe and a newfound respect for the written word and its power to touch, heal and change perception. For myself, it accomplished two things; it instilled in me a desire to one day
become a writer and touch others with my words and like the narrator of the story, and Antoine De Saint-Exupery (whose own plane crash is said to have been the basis for the tale) it instilled within me a hope that one day the Little Prince will return and someone will let me know.
What is the meaning of this tale? Easily saying is that the tale talk about many normal things like morals and principles and values from two different but successive way as children and adults. As the narrator said you can only catch adults’ attention by describing the price of something or saying the number of something. It’s hard to make adults feel lovely by the children’s beautiful describing. That is the reason why many adults believe this tale is a tale for adults.
Being insincere and utilitarian, adults consider useful and kids think sinful. Free spirit and free heart, adults consider absurd and children believe necessary. The amazing point is that these two different beliefs are held by one species--Human. When we were young, we could see anything God want us to see. But after decades, what we could see was only something we need to see.
There are so many good things for children and their imagination. And there are not so many things for adults and their reality.
Here I am sitting on a couch alone， thinking about what I have just finished reading with tears of sadness filling my eyes and fire of indignation filling my heart， which revived my exhausted soul that has already been covered by the cruelty and the selfishness of the secular world for a long time。 It is truly what I felt after reading Oliver Twist， written by the prominent British author Charles Dickens。
The resonance between me and the book makes me feel not only the kindness and the wickedness of all the characters in the novel， but what this aloof society lacks， and what I lack deep inside。 These supreme resources I’m talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals， oil that we usually mention。 They’re abstract like feelings， and some kinds of spiritual stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from one another —— love and care。
Those charitable figures whom Dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life。 They showed love and care to others， just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth， which was carved into my heart deeply。
Mr。 Brownlow is one such person。
The other day he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by two skilled teenage thieves， Artful Dodger and Charley Bates， and thought naturally it was Oliver， who was an orphan and forced to live with a gang of thieves， that had done it because he was the only one near by after the theft had taken place。 Being wrathful， he caught Oliver， and sent him to the police station where the ill-tempered， unfair magistrates worked。 Fortunately for him， Oliver was proved innocent by one onlooker afterwards。 With sympathy， Mr。 Brownlow took the injured， poor Oliver to his own home。 There Oliver lived freely and gleefully for some months as if he were Mr。 Brownlow’s own son。 One day， however， Mr。 Brownlow asked Oliver to return some books to the bookseller and to send some money for the new books that he had already collected。 The thief Oliver once stayed with kidnapped him。 After that he disappeared in Mr。 Brownlow’s life。 Searching for a while， Mr。 Brownlow had to believe the fact that he had
run away with his money。 But dramatically， they came across each other again a few years later。 Without hesitation， Mr。 Brownlow took Oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil。
Perhaps most of us would feel confused about Mr。 Brownlow’s reaction。 But as a matter of fact， this is just the lesson we should learn from him。 Jesus said in the Bible。 “Forgive not seven times， but seventy-times seven。” Why is that? Because forgiveness is our ability to remove negative thoughts and neutralize them so our energy may be spent on doing what we came here for。 We cannot move forward in our future if past issues cloud our thinking。 Stop put Mr。 Brownlow into the list of your models。 Always give people a second chance no matter what they might have done。 That’s also a substantial part of loving and caring others。
Charles Dickens said:“Love makes the world go around。” These immortal words have inspired and will keep on inspiring us to chant the melody of love and to say the prayer of care forevermore。 Let us， therefore， enjoy life and treat other people lovingly。 These principles are the roots and foundations of beliefs supporting this article and our mission together。
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 he-ro-in-e,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.
"Jane eyre" is a very good book, is my favorite book.
"Jane eyre" this book is the great writer charlotte Bronte's famous work, is also a famous novel. In the novel, she joined the own life background, succeeded in shaping the Jane eyre this have ideal, have ambition, have individual character of woman, you love.

When their wedding, mason came into pointed out that the castle attic room is a roach, a mad woman, the wife of Mr, Jane would not as a mistress, left the thorne field. Came to a remote place with the help of the priests found a village teacher profession. When the priest asked Jane got married, she reminded Mr Roach division. When back to thorne stole the castle is in ruins. Jane eyre to Finn, Mr Roach, live to the roach Mr Forrest's arms...
After reading this book, appearance is ordinary to my heart as if added a confidence, because it is I understand the connotation of the rich more than the beauty of appearance.
I believe that the writing can bring women a lot of enlightenment, also, it can also become our younger generation on the life philosophy of revelation. It is not only the face of love, people should show the dignity, more let a person produce such a belief, that is in the life, autonomy, self-reliance, self-esteem makes people believe that their own ability, frequency more courage to strive for success and dignity.

Ever find the grind of life getting you down? Is the day-to-day struggle threatening to drag you under? If so, there is a movie out there that can replenish your energy and refresh your outlook. Passionate and magical, Forrest Gump is a tonic for the weary of spirit. For those who feel that being set adrift in a season of action movies is like wandering into a desert, the oasis lies ahead.
Forrest Gump who is unfortunately to be born with a lower IQ and the muscle problem, usually, people always think this kind of person can"t be successful in doing anything. But, instead, this unlucky man has achieved lots of incredible success, he is a football star, a war hero, and later a millionaire!

The film was passed to a intellectual disturbance person the description of life has reflected every aspect of U.S.A."s life, important incident of social political life make and represent to these decades such as U.S.A. from one unique angle. Film adapt Winston novel of the same name of Groom since.
Forrest Gump mould incarnation of virtue is honest keeping one"s word , conscientiously , brave paying attention to emotioning among film. In the film, Forrest Gump is a very pure image, but Jenny has become the degenerate symbol. And write the great discrepancy originally in this. To all that narrated, since beginning all behave with a kind of tender feeling and well-meaning attitude after all for the film, having even joined poesy composition, this makes the film seem soft and have no injury. The film advocates to traditional moral concept and embodiment. Make film apt to accept by people, director superb lay out skill and film application of language make the film very attractive too.

Jane Eyre was published in 1847 under the androgynous pseudonym of “Currer Bell.” The publication was followed by widespread success. Utilizing two literary traditions， the Bildungsroman and the Gothic novel， Jane Eyre is a powerful narrative with profound themes concerning genders， family， passion， and identity. It is unambiguously one of the most celebrated novels in British literature.
Born in 1816， Charlotte Bronte was the third daughter of Patrick Bronte， an ambitious and intelligent clergyman. According to Newsman， all the Bronte children were unusually precocious and almost ferociously intelligent， and their informal and unorthodox educations under their father's tutelage nurtured these traits. Patrick Bronte shared his interests in literature with his children， toward whom he behaved as though they were his intellectual equals.
The Bronte children read voraciously. Charlotte's imagination was especially fired by the poetry of Byron， whose brooding heroes served as the prototypes for characters in the Bronte's juvenile writings as well as for such figures as Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre 。 Bronte's formal education was limited and sporadic – ten months at the age of 8 at Cowan Bridge Clergy Daughters' School （the model for Lowood Institution in Jane Eyre）， eighteen months from the age of 14 at Roe Head School of Miss Margaret Wooler （the model for Ms. Temple）.
To be honest, I"ve never seen anyone like Forrest Gump in a movie before.Forrest Gump who is unfortunately to be born with a lower IQ and the muscle problem, usually, people always think this kind of person can"t be successful in doing anything. But, instead, this unlucky man has achieved lots of incredible success, he is a football star, a war hero, and later a millionaire!
Forrest Gump not only shares his innocence and purity with others, ,he also manages to retain that innocence through some very difficult times. I love Forrest that he doesn"t lose his purity through the movie, or maybe he just can"t ,but either way, this shows us don"t need to be evil or really intelligent to be recognised or successful.
It is just a movie, so maybe it doesn"t work like that in reality.A simply means is that the acting and story of this film got a high level like the real . And in my definition that"s what a good movie should be able to do.
A Book that Impacted Me Most
I don’t remember the exact year I first read The Little Prince . Though the golden snake in the book plays a cameo role , I never forget the scene that he flashed kissed gently on the little prince’s ankle. It made me be afraid to reread this book.
Later, I listened a Michael Wong’s song named Fairy-tale Story, the prince in his song is different from the prince in The Little Prince, the prince in the song is the same as Andersen’s tales’ princes, they all have happy endings.
However, I think The Little Prince is a sad story. There is a saying: There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand peoples eyes. Now, let me talk about my reading feeling. This simple story flies over every corner of the world: a pilot (the narrator) who had an accident with his plane and crashed in the Desert of Sahara then he met the little prince from the planet B-612, and the narrator listened little prince’s travel experience of seven planets. On the seven planets, he met a variety of persons. They are the king, the conceited man, the businessman, the tippler, the lamplighter, the geographer and so on.
The Little Prince is a story belongs to adults who have childlike innocence.because children don’t understand the little prince’s deep sadness.This is not so much a fairy tale, as it is a tragedy. This story tells the grow-ups’ world is full of empty，lost and loneliness with kids’ perspective. Among the story, the alcoholic is impressive. He was surrounded by a pile of beer bottles when the little prince saw him, and prince asked him why he is drinking, but he answered he want to forget his shame of drinking. This short planet visit plunged little prince into deep puzzled. He think the grow-ups are certainly very, very odd. In kids' eyes, beautiful things must look with heart. But the adults pay more attention on things’ appearance that is just a shell and they don’t believe the eyes are blind and the heart is true.
Through this story, it also made me understand what’s the love---love's more mineral, more dense, more bitter and more weighty than the earth's profoundest matter.
When I first read The Little Prince, I can’t understand the mean of love and never to think why should the little prince leave alone since he love his rose so deeply. For years, I reread the story and think about it. The simple true was first love. The little prince didn’t know how to love and It was difficult to make him understand the rose’s heart, so it may lead to misunderstanding and hurts from time to time. He leaved his planet because he can not accept the rose and himself.
This is why the little prince don’t know he have to leave : at that time, he had no idea he was in it. The little prince don’t understand the meaning of tame until he met the fox later. Then he produced the endless yearning for the roses and realized his responsibility.
"Do you want to be domesticated?" For me, this is a profound question. In the book, the little prince met a fox and invited the fox to play with him, but he was refused. The fox told him that he was not tamed. “what does that mean--tame?” little prince asked. The fox answered:” it means to establish ties: to me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me , you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.”
Gradually the little prince was beginning to understand, because he remembered his rose and he thought his rose had tamed him. So he chose to go back to his planet in the end. But to the fox, the little prince’s farewell will make her sad, but the hurts because of love, she should learn to accept it gradually. I believe there are full of hurts within serious and true love.
As long as the little prince flied to different planets and met a variety of persons can he understand himself and
his rose. So I think traveling is a good way to experience life.
