Comments on "One Million Pounds" 1 I saw "One Million Pounds" on holiday, which was very interesting. Let me introduce the author: Mark Twain.
"Mark Twain is an American humorist, a famous writer and an outstanding representative of American realistic literature at the end of19th century. His works are both spicy and ironic, with a full sense of humor; It is not only full of unique gray humor, but also has profound and keen social insight and analytical power. "
The book tells the story of a mining broker's employee who accidentally sailed out of the bay, lost his way, was rescued by a sailboat bound for London, and replaced the boat fee with a sailor's job. When he arrived in London, he was penniless and very poor.
The next day, he was called by an elderly gentleman and gave him a letter, telling him to go back to his residence and open it again. But as soon as he went out and opened the envelope, he found a million-dollar bill inside. During this period, people tried their best to win over this rare rich man who suddenly became rich.
From paying for meals, buying clothes and staying for free, they all please him like beggars, without improving his social status, and have always been above the highest duke outside the king's room! Not only that, but also got a good wife and 30 thousand pounds of bank interest, and finally got a good job from two brothers and lived a very happy life.
After reading it, I feel that money is not everything. Money can buy home but not happiness. Money can buy blood but not life. Money can buy clock but not time. ...
What we have to do is to treat our life with a calm heart, and our life must be won by ourselves. There is no free lunch in the world, and only those who work hard will get something.
I have read animal novels written by Shen and Shangguan Waner describing Wu Zetian's confidants, and Ma Xiaotiao written by Yang, but that's all in the past. I recently read a new book, One Million Pounds.
This is a famous work of Mark Twain and an ironic short story. When I opened it, I seemed to be in the street with the protagonist. Inadvertently, I suddenly took out a million pounds, which surprised the shopkeeper.
At first, he was penniless, squatting on the edge of the square, looking at a pear that had been bitten several times. When he feels particularly hungry, I can't help secretly worrying about him. It is really difficult for him to survive without money, but as long as he finds a job, he will definitely have food and a place to live.
When the hero saw the money in the envelope, he ran to the restaurant and ate a lot of delicious food. When he checked out, his heart was broken, because if he used this million pounds, he would be taken to the police station. Because it was introduced earlier, I learned about this million-pound bet. This is ridiculous. A poor tramp gave him100000. This bet embodies the spirit of the British people to try.
When the protagonist was laughed at by the clerk in the clothing store because of his rags, I think this is a description that can reflect the clerk's indifference and arrogance to the poor. But when he took out a million pounds, the boss, in order to cater to him, asked him never to pay, put aside the clothes of other small customers and customized clothes for this "big rich man". Mark Twain is really a master of language and described it.
After reading this book, I am still reminiscing about the scene just now, which is really a gift described by the author to readers.
Million pounds was written by American writer Mark Twain. I have read several novels by Mark Twain, and today I will read his representative works.
This is a short story. The story tells that Henry (the hero) accidentally came to Paris and became a beggar. The silver lining behind the dark clouds was chosen as the bettor by two brothers who were betting and gave him one million pounds. My brother said he would die within a month, but he didn't think so. In this way, after spending several times, beggars suddenly gained fame and status. A month later, Henry not only didn't die, but also paid 1 10,000 and got 200,000 and a wife.
What impressed me most was the owner and clerk of the clothing store that Henry walked into. When they first saw Henry, they saw him in rags. Nobody paid attention to him, and finally came to pick out clothes for him. He looked dissatisfied, but when he saw his 1 10,000 pounds, he suddenly changed and began to obey him.
It can be seen that the clerk is a greedy person. Mark Twain wrote this way to satirize those who only pay attention to judging people by their appearances, and then told us according to the protagonist's experience that to learn to seize the opportunity, Henry in the story used his fame to take 6.5438+0 million as the principal and earn back 200,000.
After reading this story, I understand that if you want to succeed, you have to seize the opportunity. Just like the hero in the story, I also understand that people should not look at the outside, but at the inside, and should not only pay attention to money, but also be equal to others. It can be seen from here that most Parisians used to be misers.
I will continue to read other novels written by Mark Twain.
Reflections on "One Million Pounds" 4 During the winter vacation, I finished reading the whole book "One Million Pounds". I was deeply shocked by the power of this wisdom. The hero in the story created wealth for himself by virtue of his intelligence.
What an amazing thing it is. The hero was originally a poor but clever young man. Coincidentally, two rich people just made a bet-can a poor but smart young man live for 30 days with an unchangeable million pounds? He was chosen. And he not only lived happily for thirty days, but also gained a fortune for himself.
Indeed, there are many examples of getting rich by wisdom in our life. For example, Ma Yun, the familiar father of the Internet, advocated online shopping, which made everyone feel unprecedented convenience and speed, so he became the richest man in China.
We have a poor and backward mountain village in China called Huaxi Village. In order to change the living environment in the village, a cadre suggested that industrial production should not rely solely on agricultural production. Combining the wisdom and efforts of all people, we will eventually turn the original poverty into today's prosperity.
Isn't this changed by wisdom? So wisdom is the source of wealth, and wisdom can cast wealth. If you have only wealth and no wisdom, you will eventually become poor. So study hard! Get more wisdom for self-improvement, for self-creation of wealth, and for social improvement to make the motherland richer.
Wisdom is wealth, and wisdom is power. Wisdom can improve one's life and everyone's. And wisdom is priceless. Because everyone's wisdom is unique to you.
Comment on "million pounds" 5 recently affected by the epidemic, we can only stay at home. What can we do at home? The first thing I think of is reading. The book I'm reading recently is Million Pounds. Although I saw it in primary school, after all, "looking back, you can learn new things and be a teacher."
One million pounds was written by humorous writer Mark Twain. He told a humorous and exaggerated story: henry adams, a poor shop assistant, was trapped in the streets of London during an adventure. At that time, two rich people made a bet and gave him a million-dollar bill that could not be cashed, to see how he ended up a month later.
Henry's first reaction was not to run away with it, but to come to the rich man's house and want to return it. He didn't go back until the servant explained it. A month later, Henry not only didn't starve to death or was arrested, but became a millionaire.
Mark humorously attacked the money worship at that time in a slightly exaggerated way. In addition, he collected many novels and analyzed people's desire, falsehood and greed, which made us angry and thought-provoking.
This phenomenon also exists in our society now. Some people do not hesitate to sacrifice family, friendship and love for money, and rob by unscrupulous means for ill-gotten gains, which makes me sigh. Money is a tool to maintain life, and you can't buy affection, friendship and love. Mark Twain's profound views on money left a deep impression on me.
If you haven't seen it, I recommend you to see it. If there is, you can watch it again, and maybe there will be new gains.
Reflections on "One Million Pounds" 6 I recently read a book written by Mark Twain called "One Million Pounds", which mainly satirizes all kinds of people and things in society.
The story happened in England. A poor American named Henry received a check for one million pounds-it turned out that a pair of rich brothers saw how a poor man would use the one million pounds. In the past, Henry's every move was looked down upon.
However, when Henry got the million pounds, for example, when he went to buy clothes, when he took out the million pounds, the boss was very concerned about him. He can choose whatever clothes he wants, and he doesn't need to pay. They thought he was a rich second generation and couldn't exchange such an expensive pound.
Where he went after that, all the shopkeepers gave it to him for free. But because he didn't spend money and knew that the pound was not his own, he also owed a lot of money. Fortunately, a month finally arrived, and he also had a girlfriend, and returned the check intact to Brother Fu.
After reading this article, I began to dislike those money worshippers. In their eyes, money is everything, but there are also many things that money can't buy, such as noble quality, good character and precious time. Moreover, they don't care about some poor people, but they kiss their ass like pugs when they see rich people.
It seems that in their eyes, as long as they have money, nothing matters. They can turn mistakes into right and humble into noble ... and how selfish and heartless these people are. They don't help others. Therefore, this kind of person is hated by everyone.
Finally, I want to tell you that we can't be tempted by this glittering money. What we need more is noble quality and spirit.
7. During the summer vacation, I read the famous humorous story "One Million Pounds" written by Mark Twain, a famous American humorist and novelist. The article satirizes the viewpoints that "money is everything" and "money is everything" and exposes the ugly face of capitalist society. There is an old saying: "Money makes the mare go." We can see how important money is, and how many people in our lives have no money but dream that money will fall from the sky and send them flowers.
This book mainly describes a small American employee who goes out to sea to play. After getting lost, he was lucky to be rescued and came to London with the ship. He is penniless and friendless. Two rich brothers gave him a100000 pound note and bet whether he could live with it in 30 days. At the end of the novel, the little guy not only lived for 30 days, but also made a fortune with this million pounds and won the heart of a young lady.
Seeing this, I envy such a "lucky" hero, but at the same time I think: Isn't it because people valued money too much at that time that people please him? This book satirizes some people who can't resist the temptation of money to others, thus making some forgetful behaviors.
This book also teaches us that money is an external thing. Without money, you can make money on your own. However, one cannot live without the principle of being a man. Even if he had more wealth, he would not be happy. If you can't resist the temptation of money, you will lose your direction. If you want to make your life meaningful, you must stick to the principle of self.
Money worship is shameful, and it is even more shameful to get something for nothing. Money is not everything. There are many things more important than money in the world. ...
