The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a master of American literature in the19th century. Twain's masterpiece is a classic in the treasure house of world literature.
Tom, the hero of the book, is an orphan, who was fostered in a menstrual home since childhood. In the eyes of menstruation, he is a troublemaker, but he can't help liking children. Tom himself is a typical American teenager, naive and lively, mischievous. In him, we see our ideal qualities: intelligence, courage, integrity and optimism. At that time, Tom was a rebellious boy, and his dream was to be a "pirate", so he called his partners Joe and Huck, and the three of them came to a desert island together. Then there is the most wonderful chapter of the article: Tom, Joe and Huck, the three "little pirates", live a carefree life happily on the island. The description of these exciting scenes fully shows the hearty mood of the three teenagers to get rid of social imprisonment. In real life, everyone is eager to have a free life, but everyone has his own responsibilities, so everyone can't enjoy absolute freedom.
In my opinion, students are the least free. When I first went to primary school, I felt so happy, because there was no pressure and no homework, except playing or playing. But it was not until the sixth grade that I realized the real primary school life.
This seems to be very similar to Tom's life, although Tom doesn't like the boring life in school and hates the lies of the priest ... However, under the pressure of society, Tom has to accept this fact. This is why Tom yearns for the "pirate life". Although I also want to be free, I still absorb knowledge like a sponge, because my little abandonment now and my self-discipline now can bring me happiness in the future.
There are many self-indulgent people in society now. They are only addicted to pleasure, but they don't know that they should work as hard as bees. They don't know that life won't be so easy and carefree forever. Whoever does not have his own hands to create his own happiness and freedom will never be able to control his own destiny and will always be a slave to it. When fate comes, the so-called short-term freedom in front of him will immediately dissipate and become a shackle that prevents him from really controlling his own destiny.
After reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, I thought a lot. In fact, in the busy and tense sixth-grade life, I gained a sense of fulfillment, which made me more confident in my future study and life. Since I am a member of the society, I also want to make this really a wonderful and rare undersea forest. There are tall woody plants everywhere, and the branches of small trees extend straight to the sun. No skill, no context, like a hard core. Corals with bright flowers are growing everywhere in all kinds of shrubs as high as temperate forests. How beautiful!
Later, the submarine experienced dangers such as grounding and indigenous siege, and sailed safely to the Indian Ocean. Then something strange happened. What Captain Nemo saw from the sea suddenly filled with anger and hatred. He rudely locked Pierre Aronnax and his companions in a small room and forced them to sleep. The next day, Pierre Aronnax woke up and Captain Nemo asked him to treat a seriously injured crew member. The crew are all dead. Captain Nemo sadly led the funeral procession and buried the dead in the dazzling coral forest on the seabed. He said: here, coral will seal the dead forever and will not be bullied by sharks and people!
Ceylon Island at the southern tip of the Indian Peninsula is just around the corner. Pierre Aronnax accepted Captain Nemo's suggestion and headed for the underwater pearl mining field. Suddenly, a huge shark pounced on the pearl picker. Captain Nemo stood up to fight the shark with a short knife in his hand. When Captain Nemo was overwhelmed by the shark's huge body and was in danger, Ned Land quickly threw a sharp fork and hit the shark's heart. The captain saved the poor pearl picker and took a packet of pearls from his pocket and gave it to him. From this, Pierre Aronnax thinks that Nemo has two points worthy of attention: first, he is extremely brave, and second, his spirit of sacrifice for mankind. It seems that this eccentric man has not completely broken the absolute human love.
From the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, if you take the Cape of Good Hope, you need to go around Africa. But Captain Nemo sneaked along an Arabian submarine passage he discovered, and in less than twenty minutes he crossed the Isthmus of Suez and reached the Mediterranean Sea. The book says:
Nautilus is running along the dark and deep undersea tunnel. With the inclination of the tunnel, the submarine descended with the rapids like an arrow. On the narrow high walls on both sides of the tunnel, I saw brilliant lines drawn by the speed of lightning, straight into strips. Let us be heartbroken.
The submarine is heading for Condi Island. At this time, another strange thing happened: as a diver appeared in front of the submarine window in the morning, Captain Nemo took out millions of gold from the cupboard, wrote down the address and sent someone to carry it away in a boat. Where did all this gold go? Pierre Aronnax felt that the mysterious Nemo still had some connection with this land.
The submarine crossed the boiling water in the volcanic area of Sandelin Island, came out of the Strait of Gibraltar, sailed to the Atlantic Ocean and stopped at the bottom of Victoria Bay. This is the battlefield of naval battle in 1702. At that time, the ship carrying gold and silver to the Spanish government sank here, and the seabed was covered with gold and silver jewelry. Nemo sent his crew to load millions of gold and silver into the submarine. Pierre Aronnax regrets that a lot of wealth cannot be distributed to the poor. The captain replied excitedly, "Did I salvage these belongings for myself?" Do you think I don't know that there are countless suffering people, oppressed races and victims who want revenge? "Pierre Aronnax this just understand captain nemo when passing through Connecticut sent millions of gold coins is for the sake of who.
At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, Pierre Aronnax and Captain Nemo made a novel trip. They climbed a peak on the sunken continent in the Atlantic Ocean and watched the wonders of the volcano spewing sulfur and flint. Overlooking a ruined city at the foot of the mountain-the whole submerged city of Pompeii. This book describes the legendary ancient underwater city:
In the distance is a volcano. Below the peak, between ordinary stones and dregs, a huge fire spout spewed a torrent of sulfur flint, and a waterfall that flew into fire sank into the sea, shining on the plain under the sea floor until the farthest end. At present, I am a destroyed city, with collapsed houses, broken and scattered arches and fallen stone pillars. A little further away, it is the ruins of some small projects. Farther away, a series of collapsed city walls, an uninhabited continent in vast expanse, the whole underwater city of Pompeii was revived and appeared before my eyes.
Then, Nautilus boldly sailed to the South Pole, and the submarine sailed among the whales. Ned Land asked to chase whales. Minister Nemo did not agree to harm these kind and harmless fin whales. When a cruel whale attacked a fin whale at sea, Captain Nemo decided to rescue it. The nautilus used its steel horn to go straight through the whale. After a fierce battle, the sea was full of dead whales. After crossing the Antarctic, the submarine experienced dangers such as iceberg road closure and octopus attack. It was Captain Nemo who led the crew to overcome the difficulties with amazing calmness and perseverance.
Finally, the submarine sailed through the warm Atlantic current known as the king of storms and came to a place where a French patriotic warship sank. Nemo told the history of warship revenge with passion. This attracted the attention of Pierre Aronnax. It is not ordinary cynicism, but very noble hatred to lock Captain Nemo and his companions in the hull of the Nautilus. Didn't it attack some ships in the Indian Ocean that night? Isn't the man buried in the coral cemetery the victim of the conflict caused by Nautilus? And on all the seas, people are also chasing this terrible destructive machine!
When the nautilus slowly returned to the surface, it exploded: a warship was attacking the nautilus. Captain Nemo is determined to sink it. Pierre Aronnax tried to dissuade him, but the captain said, "I am oppressed. Look, that's the oppressor! Because of him, everything I love and respect, everything I love and respect, my motherland, parents, lovers and children are all dead! Everything I hate is there! " The captain didn't want the wreckage of this warship to be mixed with the glorious wreckage of Revenge, so he led the warship to the east. The next day, the terrible blow began! Nautilus deliberately let the enemy approach, and then under the powerful impetus of the propeller, it aimed at the weak part below the buoy line of the warship at that powerful angle of attack and crossed over! In an instant, the warship hull cracked, then exploded and sank quickly. Its mast is full of victims. Then, the dark giant sank into the water, and with it, all the bodies were swept away by the powerful vortex. ...
Pierre Aronnax witnessed this tragic scene and was extremely disgusted with Captain Nemo: "Although he may have suffered a lot in other ways, he has no right to take such cruel revenge." Pierre Aronnax heard Captain Nemo's last words on the ship: "Almighty God! Enough! Enough! "
In the dangerous waters off the Norwegian coast, Pierre Aronnax, Ned Land and Conseil left the Nautilus by boat, ending this round-the-world trip across the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Antarctic Ocean. Pierre Aronnax hopes: "If Captain Nemo lives in the ocean of his choice forever, I hope all hatred will fade in this stubborn heart! ..... I hope that this talented scholar will continue to do peaceful exploration! "
The plot in this novel is bizarre and vividly depicts the underwater world full of mystery. Language is lively and interesting, which is both an artistic language and a scientific language. The explanation of all kinds of underwater things is vivid.
1 Notes on Two Wan Li under the Sea
The author's surprise lies not only in his exaggerated, touching and scientific novels, but also in the stories he wrote in the book. Although this is not surprising today in the 2 1 century, in Verne's era, people have not invented submarines that can swim underwater, and even electric lights have not appeared. In this context, Verne successfully shaped the submarine Nautilus in Two Wan Li under the Sea, and 25 years after the novel was published. The artificial real submarine is similar to that described in the novel. What kind of foresight is this? Therefore, the fantasy in Verne's works has scientific basis. The scientific fantasy depicted in many of his works has come true today. More importantly, the fantasy in his works is bold and novel, and it is interesting to read with its vivid, vivid and picturesque beauty. His works have thrilling plots, vivid characters and unexpected endings. All these make his works have eternal charm.
Written in 1870, Two Wan Li under the Sea is the second part of Verne's famous trilogy. The first part is Captain Grant's children, and the third part is Mystery Island. This work tells the story of Pierre Aronnax, a French biologist, traveling in the depths of the ocean. This happened in 1866, and a monster thought to be a narwhal was found at sea. He accepted the invitation to join the chase, unfortunately fell into the water during the chase and swam on the monster's back. In fact, this monster is not a narwhal, but a diving boat with wonderful structure. This diving boat was secretly built by Captain Nemo on a desert island in the middle of the ocean. It has a solid hull and uses the ocean to generate electricity. Captain Nemo invited Pierre Aronnax to travel to the bottom of the sea. They set out from the Pacific Ocean, passed through coral islands, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, and entered the Atlantic Ocean. They saw many rare marine animals and plants and strange scenes in the water, and experienced many dangers such as stranding, being besieged by indigenous people, fighting with sharks, icebergs blocking roads, octopus attacks and so on. Finally, when the diving boat arrived at the Norwegian coast, Pierre Aronnax left without saying goodbye and announced to the world what he knew about the seabed. Captain Nemo, the hero of the book, is a romantic, mysterious and charming figure. Nemo built a diving boat according to his own design, snorkeling on the seabed for large-scale scientific research, but it seems that this is not the only purpose of his lonely life. He avoided enemies and persecutors, sought freedom at the bottom of the sea, and felt deep sorrow for his lonely life. It was not until the third part of the trilogy that the mystery of this mysterious figure was unveiled. This collection contains all the features of Verne's science fiction. The twists and turns, the tense and confusing storyline, the ever-changing fate of the characters, the rich and detailed scientific knowledge, and the wonderful fantasy with vivid details are all a furnace. The author's originality and ingenious layout sometimes push readers into a dangerous environment, and sometimes bring them into a beautiful realm full of poetry and painting. Magnificent scene description and detailed detail description appear alternately. It's fascinating to read, and you can't stop.
In this way, with reverence, I began to take the Nautilus submarine with Junasz, the protagonist of the book, and began his legendary underwater journey. Captain Nemo, the owner of the Nautilus, was a gloomy and learned man. They traveled together in the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean, Antarctic and Arctic Ocean, and saw many rare underwater animals and plants, as well as underwater caves, secret passages and sites, including the famous sunken city Atlantis, an ancient civilization with a history and culture comparable to that of Greece. Nautilus set out from the Sea of Japan, entered the Pacific Ocean, Oceania, and then reached the Indian Ocean, passing through the Red Sea and Arabian Tunnel, and reached the Mediterranean Sea. The submarine crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, along the coast of Africa, and headed for the South Pole. Then go north along the coast of Latin America, follow the warm current to the North Sea, and finally disappear into the whirlpool on the west coast of Norway. During the submarine journey of nearly ten months, Nautilus sailed slowly at an average speed of 12 km per hour. I feel that I enjoyed the ever-changing wonders of the seabed with Captain Nemo and his "guests". The climax of the whole voyage is repeated: underwater hunting, underwater forest visit, underwater Atlantis ruins visit, Spanish shipwreck treasure salvage, coral kingdom funeral witness, fighting with Okumo, sharks and octopus, fighting back against the siege of indigenous people and so on. These books contain a great deal of knowledge about science, culture, geography and geology. O Junasz expressed admiration for Captain Nemo's outstanding talent and knowledge in the voyage. However, in the fascinating story, people are also warned that while seeing that science and technology benefit mankind, they should pay attention to preventing acts that are used by bad people and endanger the human crisis; Put forward the concept of caring for marine life such as seals and whales and condemning indiscriminate killing and fishing. These environmental protection topics, which are still popular today, have been called for by prophets 200 years ago. It can be seen that what leaves a deeper reflection on human justice is to let readers feel colorful adventures and vivid knowledge, and to inspire us to get more books from our hearts.
The novel appeared "monsters" from the sea, frequently attacking ships of various countries, stirring people's panic until the Nautilus was swallowed up by the Atlantic vortex, and the whole novel was full of suspense and interlocking. I was deeply attracted by this book. During the trip, Captain Nemo and I, as well as tourists, can be said to change with the development of things, sometimes fearful, sometimes relaxed and happy. The subtlety of this book lies in the complete enlightenment of knowledge of nature, although it tells a lot about the ocean. For example, the mucus secreted by a tiny creature called fenugreek in the Red Sea makes the sea water as red as blood. But none of them are deliberate, and none of them are hard for readers to accept. It's just what they saw and heard during a trip, which makes people firmly retain all kinds of ideas and gains born of scenery. Not every science fiction novel is as readable as Two Wan Li under the Sea. As a novel that is not fabricated out of thin air, but accumulated by foresight and erudition, it not only explains their journey for readers who don't know underwater knowledge in detail, but also shows the wisdom and civilization of the ancients to later generations. The whole novel introduces scientific knowledge such as ocean current, fish, shellfish, coral, marine benthos, seaweed, marine biological circulation system, pearl production, etc., and becomes a veritable scientific enlightenment novel.
Remarks: The length unit "Li" in the novel is from French history, and the length varies from province to province, and there are ancient Houli, ancient land-Li and ancient sea. Professor Arona Cox used ancient land in his book, which is about four kilometers. So two Wan Li under the sea is 80,000 kilometers that can circle the earth twice. A good society gives me the responsibility and mission to strive for the freedom to control my own destiny.
