usually,we have contact with many world-famous novels,telling the essence of life. the stories of characters” life move us give us a lot of enlightenment.

however,anna sewell”s black beauty is a different one,as its main character is a black,handsome horse called black beauty. sewell has spent 6 years on this book,while she was seriously sick. unfortunately,she died soon after her only book in her whole life was published.

as sewell was crippled and unable to walk since a young age,she by nature had sympathy on the poor animals. therefore,black beauty it is not a fairy tale,but a book which seriously talks the issue of the abuse of animals.

and this story is narrated in the first person as an autobiographical memoir by black beauty himself. in this way,it becomes easier for readers to understand the whole story better and more clearly.

when i begin to read this book,i am absorbed in this book immediately,as if i were the horse,experiencing his life with difficulties and set-backs.

black beauty,who has changed his name for several times during different periods of lifetime,is a handsome horse with a life full of both happiness and suffering. he has been well trained,so he always tried to behave well.

however,then he was sold from one owner to another,he began to realize how tragic his fate is. his life story has moved all the readers deeply.

the author started this story by black beauty describing his memory about his happy childhood,when he was accompanied by his mother and taught to be a good horse. at the age of 2,black beauty witnessed an accident of hunting for a hare,which caused the rider falling from the horse,dead.

later that wounded horse was killed. and at the age of 4,black beauty was old enough to begin the use of saddle,bridle,carriage harness and shoes. then he was sent to birtwick park and named of black beauty by mrs. gordon. birtwick park became his first pleasant home for three years,where he grew strong and met many friends with different characteristics and experiences.

one of his friends was ginger,who was ill-tempered because of a hard life with previous owners. and as a result,ginger often got wild and bit others. sir oliver got a shortened tail because his previous owner thought it was fashionable. also,there was a groom,little joe green.

at first,he was too young to know how to properly how to take care of the hot and tired black beauty after an emergency,making black beauty seriously sick. grieved,joe began to do his best to learn hors care. however,soon,the gorgons had to move because of mrs. gordon”s health,so they sold black beauty and ginger to earlshall park.

in earlshall park,the use of bearing rein made ginger and black beauty painful,so finally ill-tempered ginger rebelled. then she was used as a hunter,but black beauty was much praised because once he saved lady anne. however,his unfortunate life has not changed since then. our poor black beauty got his knees ruined because mr. rubber smith,who was drunk,took black beauty on a dangerous ride and at last killed himself after falling down. as a result,black beauty was sold as a job horse. although,he was arranged by a smart customer to be sold to a gentleman afterwards,he still had a hard life,because the groom stole the oats in his food. tired of the trouble of keeping a horse,the gentleman sold black beauty again,this time,black beauty was lucky to have a kind-hearted new owner;a cab driver in london called jerry. what”s more,jerry”s families were all kind-hearted,which made black beauty happy to bear the hard work of pulling a cab every day. by chance,he met ginger. she was mistreated as a cab horse;in such a great pain that she was longing for death. and soon,it came true. at the same time,jerry became weaker and weaker,and finally he was ill in bed after waiting for two customers on a bitter cold night. after his recovery,jerry was told not to work as s cab driver any more,so black beauty was sold again.

black beauty”s new owner,a corn dealer,was kind to him,but the dealer”s foreman,jakes,often overworked the horse and used the bearing rein. once advertised by a kind lady,jakes was easier on black beauty. however,the dark stables nearly made black beauty blind. after sold to work as a cab horse again,beauty was too old and too weak. once he was exhausted because of the heavy load. saved from being put down by a doctor,beauty found a new owner,a farmer. with full effort,he rejuvenated beauty and sold him to miss ellen and miss blomefield. to beauty”s surprise,he met joe green there. form then on,black beauty began a happy life at his last home.

after reading this book,one may admire black beauty”s strong will,persistence,and loyalty,or feel sympathetic on him and feel happy for him to get a happy ending. however,it needs our deeper thinking,a much deeper thinking. in fact,sewell doesn”t only focus on showing black beauty”s great characteristics. by telling black beauty”s whole life story,she aimed at revealing the hard life of animals at that time and altering us the crime of those who abuse animals.

from beauty”s suffering during his whole life time,we can see the tragic life of animals at that time. some people ran after the so-called fashion blindly. in order to satisfy their own vanity，they ignored animals” great pain. for example,sir oliver”s shortened tail. what the so-called fashion gave animals is great pain rather than a beautiful appearance. some people knew nothing about how to keep animals,and were always making them work all day long. they abused the animals to make as much money as possible until they died. therefore,on the day when the animals died,their holiday was on the way. for example,the poor ginger that died for overwork. though some people kept animals well,their main purpose was to have fun and to show off. they were more abominable. for example,in order to hunt for a hare,the rider killed himself at last and caused the wounded horse”s death. as beauty said,it wasn”t worthwhile,wasn”t it? those people who abuse d animals showed no sympathy or love on the poor animals at all. when they needed animals,they kept animals;when they didn”t need animals,they killed animals ruthlessly. to them,all animals were toys,from which they could make fun,or tools,from which they could make money. and the fate of animals at that time,like horses,was being sold from one owner to another,experiencing different kinds of suffering in the whole life. from the standpoint of animals,it must be terrible to be sold again and again.

let”s see what the result is. sir oliver got great annoyance and discomfort because of its shortened tail. ginger was ill-tempered and bit others often. what”s more,numerous animals died because of over work. what a tragedy！

in fact,the abuse of animals not only happened in the past,but also today,maybe right at this moment,a civilized age. years ago,i got to know that a few girls cut down a cat”s feet,and then threw it on the street,leaving it bleeding to death. and the year before,it was reported that a student from qinghua university,gave black bears sulfate to drink,which gave black bears a great pain. as to the facts that some old or sick animals are abandoned,it has been very common. although some organizations aiming at protecting animals have been set up,the abuse of animals can not be prevented. maybe nowadays the abuse of animals was caused by life pressure,but life pressure can not be an excuse to abuse animals. those people who live under life pressure should find other ways to solve the problem,but not avoid it by hurting animals.

however,if one can treat animals kindly,the result will be different. kind people who love animals,such as mrs. gordon,joe,jerry,get animals” love and respect in return. as they were friendly to horses,horses are friendly to them and would like to do as much work as they can for them,even sacrifice themselves when their owners were in danger.

i am sure,animals and human can become good friends. no animals will do harm to human,if human have not frightened them first. if you would like to try to have a close and friendly touch with animals,whether tigers or dogs,you will find that they are lovely. its true that we are much cleverer than animals,but our intelligence should not act as the tool to dominant animals. in fact,we human and animals have the same feeling,because we are all created by one nature,and share one nature together. therefore,human have no right to abuse them,or kill them. on the contrary,we should protect them,which is our real sacred and glorious obligation.

do not put the "bearing rein" on the animals. it is cruel.

do not always focus on our own happiness. it is selfish.

try to open our eyes to animals that are suffering a hard life.

try to understand the black beauty,and the author.

try to give a hand in ending the abuse of animals.

at last,i want to conclude by a sentence from this book,"there is no religion without love,and people may talk as much as they like about their religion,but if it dose not teach them to be good and kind to other animals as well as humans,it is all a shame"

英文版的读后感篇2

this is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. the story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.

it seems to me that many readers' english reading experience starts with jane eyer. i am of no exception. as we refer to the movie “jane eyer”， it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way， but the spirit of the novel remains to be an independent person， both physically and mentally.

jane eyer was a born resister， whose parents went off when she was very young， and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly as a ragtag. since jane's education in lowwood orphanage began， she didn't get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a mon person， just the same as any other girl around. the suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.as a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression， jane got a chance to be a tutor in thornfield garden. there she made the acquaintance of lovely adele and that garden's owner， rochester， a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. jane expected to change the life from then on， but fate had decided otherwise: after jane and rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry， she unfortunately came to know in fact rochester had got a legal wife， who seemed to be the shadow following rochester and led to his moodiness all the time rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. jane did want to give him a hand， however， she made up her mind to leave， because she didn't want to betray her own principles， because she was jane eyer. the film has finally got a symbolist end: jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. after finding rochester's misfortune brought by his original mad wife， jane chose to stay with him forever.

i don't know what others feel， but frankly speaking， i would rather regard the section that jane began her teaching job in thornfield as the film's end----especially when i heard jane's words “never in my life have i been awaken so happily.” for one thing， this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person;for another， this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. but the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: there must be something wrong ing with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story， but also we may see from the next transition of jane's life that “life is like a box of chocolates， you never know what you would get.” （by forrest gump's mother， in the film “forrest gump”）

what's more， this film didn't end when jane left thornfield. for jane eyer herself，there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude， but for rochester， how he can get salvation? the film gives the answer tentatively: jane eventually got back to rochester. in fact， when jane met rochester for the first time， she scared his horse and made his heel strained， to a certain extent， which meant rochester would get retrieval because of jane. we can consider rochester's experiences as that of religion meaning. the fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. after it， rochester got the mercy of the god and the love of the woman whom he loved. here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. the value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.

life is ceaselessly changing， but our living principles remain. firmly persisting for the rights of being independent gives us enough confidence and courage， which is like the beacon over the capriccioso sea of life. in the world of the film， we have found the stories of ourselves， which makes us so concerned about the fate of the dramatis personae.

in this era of rapid social and technological change leading to increasing life plexity and psychological displacement， both physical and mental effects on us call for a balance. we are likely to find ourselves bogged down in the sargasso sea of information overload and living unconsciousness. it's our spirit that makes the life meaningful.

heart is the engine of body， brain is the resource of thought， and great films are the mirrors of life. indubitably， “jane eyer” is one of them.

说：“饭可以一日不吃，觉可以一日不睡，书不可以一日不读。”培根说：“读书补天然不足，经验又补读书之不足。”所以，我们要“多读书，读好书，好读书”。

我最喜欢的一本书是《汤姆索亚历险记》，他讲述的是一个名叫汤姆斯？索亚的小男孩，在遇到许多困难的时候，英勇面对，最后回归文明社会的故事。

我最喜欢的是第二十三章——《出庭作证》，讲述的是因为墓地惨案后，波特被人认定为杀人凶手，而汤姆因为自身的正义感让他无法坐视不管，主动站出来告知所有事情真相的故事。

在看这一章时，我能感受到汤姆其实很害怕英琼？乔，但是他的良心使他无法坐视不管，而后便勇敢的站出来解释这一切，从这里可以看出汤姆的善良、正义、英勇，也可以从中体会到马克？吐温耗费了几年时间才塑造了这么一个充满正义、勇敢有担当男孩的不容易。这也让我想起前几天班上发生的一件小插曲。

那天上午，班上几个女生在一起玩时打翻了课桌上的一瓶墨水，而她们却看都不看就走了，但是有一名同学没有走，她在班上虽然默默无闻，但是心地可是极善良的。她看到后马上拿起扫把去把墨水渣打扫干净，再用拖把把地拖得干干净净。墨汁瓶的主人看见她这样做，便没再说什么。第二天，这位女同学把一瓶新墨水送给了他，老师看到后，夸奖道：“你做得很对，做人就应该有担当！”老师严厉的目光看向其他几个犯错的女生，她们都低下了头。

虽然人物不同，但他们都一样地有担当。我相信，一个有正义感和担当的人，他们的精神也一定是值得我们学习的。

first of all,this is movie is my all-time favorite,out of all the hundreds of films i have seen.however,every time i mention this film,i have to answer most people's quizzical looks with "it's a beautiful little 80s film that stayed in the 80s."

after seeing it for the 24th time since i first saw it 5 years ago,on my 13th birthday,i can gladly say that this movie went far and beyond the 80s,and the power and inspiration of the message can be felt every day.dead poets society is a most underrated film by a most underrated director whose inspiring,uplifting and moral tales firmly grounded in reality are not nearly as appreciated as they should be.here,we see one of his very personal and cradled projects,and he shows the visual style and concentration on characters in which he is so affluent.his control of the camera and the characters are very strong and very smooth.

the cinematography is near perfect,with every shot,along with the editing,seamless.also very compelling are the color-tones in every scene,perfectly matching the mood and events of the scene.could you say this is art?absolutely.then we have the performances.robin williams continues in stride as one who has to-date remained the most touching,heart-wrenching,awe-inspiring comedians with inarguable acting talent (he still remains my most favorite performer on the film screen).his professor john keating is a man who embodies every professor who you thought was cool and respectable,every person who taught or enlightened you in something out of the ordinary.in fact - dare i say it?- he teaches something extraordinary!we have the tragically underrated robert sean leonard in his role as the free-thinking catalyst student neil.why is this man not a household name/hollywood heavyweight?his roles are always full of inspiration,energy,and tragic emotion that never fail to move an audience.his role in this movie is fresh,unhindered,and never pretentious as the cautionary tale of the movie.and then we have ethan hawke in one of his earliest roles as the point-of-view character.the entire supporting cast is very strong,also,providing the foundation and serve as the various emotional ties that further involve us in the story.

josh charles's role as knox overstreet is a role that almost all guys can relate to wholeheartedly.and of course,all the actors who are in that dead poets society do a fine job.and lastly,the story.i won't summarize it since it's been summarized many times here,but i will say that it is one of the best coming of age stories for not only adolescents,but anyone.i have personally heard from nine-to-fivers who were inspired by this movie to change the situations of their jobs,careers,relationships for the better.i first saw this movie when i was 13,and immediately stamped,crowned and elevated this movie as my all-time favorite.now that i am 18 and living on my own,with very different concerns than back then,i turn back to this movie over and over again,to find inspiration,solace and of course,entertainment.it is still my all-time favorite,and it still inspires me to seize the day and make my life extraordinary.
