《幸运的吉姆》是一部典型的英国作家写英国人的书——从内容看,它是战后英国知识阶层中一部分人的漫画像,从作者看,他同许多英国小说家一样,即便是讽刺、揭露也带有保守、温和的色彩。主人公吉姆生活于50年代初期的英国,同“其他对战争和战后艰苦生活感到厌烦的英国人一样,希望能过最低限度的舒适生活,可是人们给他的却是虚伪的理想主义。
下面是一篇长的A book report of Lord Jim Lord Jim is one of the representative works of Conrad, an British novelist and an navigator,occupies an important position in the history of British literature. As a navigator, Conrad have a special preference to sea, and he always draw sea and marine life as his novels" creation background and theme. Lord Jim is one of his influential works. To make book report of this book, there are four essential issue have to be involved, that are:(1) the outline of the book.(2)the singular structure of the book.(3)analysis the hero"s heroism(4) the theme of the book-- to reveal the imperialism"s false. The outline of the book:The book tells such a story: Lord Jim ,a son from a parsonage, is a mate of Paterna. He went to the court alone and his sailing qualifications was cancelled due to abandoning the ship and overlooking his duty when a shipwreck happened. After that, in the help of Marlow captain, Jim change a lot of work. He finally settled in Patusan, an indigenous settlement whose civilization is isolated, under Marlow captain and his mate Stan"s arrangement. In Patusan, Jim win the master"s trust. Once, he interceded with a gang of white pirates for the master, and allowed. However, those pirates were treacherous and kill the master"s son when they left. Jim was filled with grief and indignation, and he want to ask for the master"s forgiveness via killing himself. The singular structure is a important feature of Lord Jim. The story is very interesting and his climaxs is not complicated. However, Conrad did not write the story from Jim"s birth to his death to follow the prescribed order. To instead of the prescribed order, Conrad divided the forty-five chapter novel into three parts, and respectively adopt different narrative method to narrate each part. The first part, which stop at the forth chapter, was written with the third person narration. From the fifth chapter to the thirty-sixth chapter, that is the second part. In this part, Conrad drew Marlow captain as the narrator to tell some people the story of Jim after meal. And he storrest chapters is the final part of the story, which is followed by Marlow address to a "privileged". The fancy structure made me confused the first time I read it, and I make its climax clear after I read the second time. However, on other than Conrad"s singular structure makes the story whose climax is very simple afford for thought. When analysis this book ,we can not overlook Jim"s heroism, which makes Jim be a inconsistent person and causes Jim"s tragedy. "after a course of light holiday literature his vocation for the sea had declared itself" "fhe could see the dig ships departing, the broad-beamed ferries constantly on the move,the little boats floaing far below his feet, with the hazy splendour of the sea in the distance, and the hope of a stirring life in the world of adventure. "From those words from the marine novel, we can easy know Jim"s strong heroism. Thought Jim bear heroism in heart, he can not carry it out bravely. That makes him a inconsistent person. When shipwreck happened and needed him to show heroism, he was defeated by his instinctive fear and abandon the ship . However ,on taking on the accident boat, he want to swim back the sinking ship to have a look. What"s more, his heroism make contributes to his tragedy. When he was rescued, his heroism prompt him to chose to be honesty, and not like the captain lied about that. Thought in deed, the captain is the biggest responsibility for the shipwreck, Jim went to the court alone to receive the adjudgement and his sailing qualifications was take off. All in all, Jim was too romantic with the fictional world of sailing hero. From where I stand, though the book tells Jim"s story, I think his aim is to reveal the false of western imperialism. As to this issue, we can analysis the false imperialism via contrast. The captain of Paterna is arrogant and noble, and proud of coming from "these abode of piety and peace ".however, when the shipwreck happened, he flee from a calamity without a flash of hesitation. Contrast to the captain, the two native niggers try their best to carry out their duty as a humble sailor. And though Jim also abandon the ship, he regret immediately when take on the accident boat, and he is honest to receive the court"s adjudgement in stead of telling lies. In addition, contrast to the gang of white pirates" treachery, the master of Patusan shows his mercy to the white pirates after Jim"s beg. That is a epitome of the relationship between the colonist and aboriginals. The colonist cheat adoriginals" mercy and then kill them cruelly. And Jim"s self-abuse and suicide also reflect the 。
★《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》读后感 利用这个假期我读了马克·吐温的《哈克贝利费恩历险记》。
哈克贝利是一个聪明、善良、勇敢的白人少年。他为了追求自由的生活,逃亡到密西西比河上。
在逃亡途中,他遇到了黑奴吉姆。吉姆为了逃脱被主人再次卖掉的命运,从主人家中出逃。
他们一起漂流在密西西比河上,过着自由自在的生活,两人成了好朋友。哈克贝利为了吉姆的自由,历尽千辛万苦。
通过阅读这本书,我深深地被故事里的人物哈克的正义感和敢想敢做的精神所吸引,更被富有同情心和牺牲精神的黑人吉姆的人格所打动。使我认识到人一定要有信念,在我们成长的过程中,一定会遇到各种各样的困难,只要坚定信念,敢想敢做、不逃避、不退缩,那么任何困难都会被迎刃而解。
通过这本书我还懂得了人与人之间是互相平等、互相尊重、互相关心的,没有高、低、贵、贱之分的,只有这样才能和谐,才能共创美好的未来! ★《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》读后感 这周,我读了马克·吐温创作的《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》,书中讲的是哈克贝利·费恩帮助黑奴吉姆逃亡的故事。 文中第十四章后一部分写了哈克与汤姆讨论所罗门王的才智。
吉姆因为一个关于所罗门王的事情——两个妇女抢夺一个孩子,所罗门王把孩子砍成了两半,一人一半,这件事情觉得所罗门很傻。但我觉得这个事情也许不像他所想的那么糟糕,所罗门王说不定是想,切开孩子后,妇女中是孩子妈妈的一定会率先边哭边叫:“我可怜的孩子啊!”而不是孩子妈妈的妇女则会愣在那儿,这样就可以分辨出谁不是孩子的妈妈了,再给她应得的惩罚,给真正孩子妈妈的妇女补偿。
从这件话中,我觉得从不同方面不同角度去考虑一件事情,会有很多种答案,必定有一种答案会让人理解支持,如果只是死板地从一个方面思考的话,那很可能就大错特错了。 苏轼的诗句“横看成岭侧成峰,远近高低各不同。”
从不同角度去观看庐山,会看到不同的风景,从不同方面去思考一件事情也会得到不同的结论。生活也一样,也许你很健康但生活并不富裕,可换个角度想,大自然赋予你鲜活的生命,多彩的世界给予你生机勃勃地活力,你拥有生命与活力,这不也是一种财富吗?你是幸运的,你应该这么想。
这段情节给我留下了深刻的印象,它教给了我很多道理,我会把它铭记在心里,成为我成长路上的指南针。
