2. Thoughts on reading Eugenie Grandet.
A flower's life is short, and a flower without stamens is even shorter-Du Mingqiong's main character: Grandet, an old man in Sommer City, later became a millionaire. Eugenie Grandet-Grandet's daughter. Charlie Grandet's nephew, Eugénie's lover. The story tells about Grandet's family background and his crazy love for money. Some people commented that this image is extremely vivid and has become one of the four miser images in the history of world literature. Grandet's meanness and obsession with money can be seen everywhere in the book: "As for the servant Nanon, her salary is only 60 francs a year. She worked hard at Grandet's house for 30 years. It was not until the 20th year that Grandet made up her mind to give her an old watch, which was the only gift she got. Poor Nanon always sleeps barefoot and in rags in a dark little room at the end of the aisle. " For 20 years' work, I reluctantly gave up my love and made a decision, as if it were a decision to kill him, drink his blood and pump his muscles-give Nanon an old watch. In addition to these, Grandet is also very stingy with relatives: "Although Grandet's family is rich, his expenses are very economical. He never sells meat, vegetables and fruits, which are sent to the woodshed by tenants for him. He saved everything, including his movements. Every meal of food, every day of candles, he always personally quantitative distribution; Every year 1 1 a room is lit at the beginning of the month, and it will be closed on March 3 1, regardless of whether it is cold in spring and autumn; His allowance to his wife does not exceed 6 francs at a time; Over the years, the total amount of his daughter's dowry is only five or six hundred francs; " "I don't feel that the New Year is coming. Grandet asked her daughter to take out all her gold coins as usual, but Eugénie had to say that the gold coins were gone. When my father heard this, he flew into a rage. He guessed that she had given the gold coin to Charlie, cursed the girl, and decided to keep her in her room, giving her only cold water and bread. " At this moment, Grandet learned that his daughter had given his gold coin to Charlie. His love for money overwhelmed his family, and he sent his daughter to the attic, where he lived a life that was worse than death. "1822, 10 In June, Mrs. Grandet left quietly. Before his wife's bones were cold, Grandet invited Ke Luo Xu to ask Eugénie to sign the property contract and give up the registration. All the property is managed by the father, and the daughter only keeps virtual rights. Eugénie didn't understand at all, so he signed the deed, and his father was relieved. " His wife is still well, but he is running for his inheritance. "In the evening, Grandet came to his wife's room and happened to meet the mother and daughter looking at the portrait of Charlie's mother. As soon as Grandet saw the gold box, he clung to it like a tiger pouncing on a sleeping baby. "Greed, cunning, stingy, money is the only god he worships, which is beyond doubt. Compared with his father, Eugénie is very loving and kind. Many public welfare undertakings have been set up: 1 nursing home, 8 missionary primary schools and a library have been established. Charlie first made a fortune in India, and then he made a lot of money by trafficking in people, usury and selling pirates' stolen goods. Besides, in order to get the title of "upstart" and squeeze into officialdom in the future, he agreed to marry Miss O 'Briant. The characters in the book all have their own personalities, but we can also find the shadow of the society at that time from them. The aristocratic class is declining day by day, "all feudal, patriarchal and idyllic relationships have been destroyed", and they have been replaced by domineering bourgeois nouveau riche and omnipresent and omnipotent money forces. And a weak woman who is content with the status quo. After reading this book, I have to sigh that the history of capitalists is a history of humiliation mixed with blood and tears.
3. Pride and Prejudice is the masterpiece of Jane Austen, a famous British woman writer. It describes the emotional entanglement between the arrogant single young Darcy and the prejudiced second lady Elizabeth, as well as the rich single aristocrat Bingley and the virtuous first lady Jane. In fact, this book has been contacted since the first grade, but I was impatient with the complexity of the plot at that time. I lost interest after reading a few chapters, so I put it aside and didn't pick it up until today. However, when I read the previous chapters again, I still felt very bored. Later, I learned that this was an ambush for the future scene. In a blink of an eye, more than 30 chapters have passed, and the character is clearly portrayed by the author. There seems to be only two kinds of people in this book: smart and stupid, and there is no absolute difference between good and bad, except perhaps Wickham, a liar. He charmed Elizabeth with his clever flattering ability and a "pleasing" appearance, constantly clearing his grievances and slandering Darcy. Ironically, his words were full of loopholes, and Elizabeth, though smart enough to argue with Miss Bingley and refute Lady Catherine, was led by Wickham. To tell the truth, I don't think Elizabeth's being cheated means that he is a "fool". People are always preconceived. Elizabeth knew for a long time that Mr Darcy was insolent. How can I have a good impression on him? How can you easily turn a deaf ear to other people's comments? It is normal to be biased against Darcy. When I say others, I naturally mean the handsome Wickham. There is no denying that Wickham has a handsome face and pretends to be a "gentleman" on the surface. Although there is a saying that "a person can't judge a book by its cover" and "a person knows its face but doesn't know its heart", even though I lived in the 2 1 century, I still have a good impression on Wickham as a bystander after reading this story. How can I blame Elizabeth, a girl living in the past? Close this book and savor it carefully, only to find that the whole novel is fascinating because of its relaxed and humorous style. Elizabeth's sarcasm and satire are exposing the true face of those nobles who think they are gentlemen and ladies. And Elizabeth's father, Mr. Bennet, laughed at his wife and daughter for family happiness. Lucky? Unfortunately?

The Journey to the West's Reading Notes
Growing up, I have read The Journey to the West many times. The first time I saw it, it was purely for its twists and turns and interesting plot. After reading it, I have some opinions on the characters and behaviors in the book. My favorite in The Journey to the West is the Monkey King, who is kind, naughty, smart, powerful, outspoken to immortals, persistent in beating monsters (especially Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon), and friendly to brothers, teachers and monkeys. Among the four Tang Priests, the Monkey King was often the first to find monsters, but his master Tang Priests was always easily deceived by monsters dressed as good people, and punished Wukong for hitting monsters, even driving him away regardless of his explanation. Although Wukong was unwilling, he listened to his master and followed him without shame. But when Bajie asked him for help again, as soon as he heard that the master was in trouble, he let bygones be bygones and ran to save the master without hesitation, without a complaint. Although he is impulsive, hot-tempered, and sometimes impulsive to kill people, in my opinion, those people all deserve it. They are bandits and tyrants who have killed countless people, but Tang Priest, who believes in Buddhism, doesn't believe him. Anyway, he won't let Wukong kill people, but he doesn't care if those wicked people harm others. I always feel that Wukong is wronged. Tang priest is one of the four of them, which makes it difficult for me to understand. He is always taken away by monsters. Among the four masters and apprentices, he always brings trouble, but he has no skill. He only knows that there is no Amitabha in the south, and sometimes there is trouble. If there is no Wukong, I think he must have gone to another Buddhist paradise. He is a kind and helpful teacher who can't tell whether a person is a demon or not. When he sees monsters hurting people, he always lets Wukong and others catch them. However, when Wukong hit those ordinary people who hurt others and hurt themselves, he was shocked. Not only did he recite the spell, but sometimes he drove him away. Doesn't he think that if Wukong doesn't kill people, they will harm people again, so isn't it a life for one more life? However, Tang Priest also has extraordinary perseverance. In order to get to the Western Heaven for the benefit of the people, he not only didn't want to get to the Western Heaven quickly without letting Wukong fly to get it himself, but even asked himself to be down-to-earth every step and never asked Wukong to help him fly. Tang Priest met many people on the road who tried their best to keep him, even offered him Jinshan Yinshan, and even the whole country, but he refused. I think this is because he has always insisted on learning from the scriptures. Pig Bajie is a lazy and greedy big fat pig. Sometimes Wukong asked him to find some fruits for his master to eat. He either slept on the road or picked a lot of fruits, but he ate them all on the way back, which often caused the other three people to wait for him in the same place. When he came back, he just found an excuse to tell a lie and tried to perfunctory things, but he was always caught by the clever Wukong, which made a mess. I think Bajie always thinks about this and that on his way to learn the scriptures, instead of hiding a little money here and a little treasure there. He always thinks about Gao Laozhuang's daughter-in-law and Chang 'e, and when his master is arrested, he always says, "Let's pack up and break up" and "I'm going back to Gao Laozhuang". He also has a bad habit of always boasting. Sometimes, when Wukong defeated the monster, he also vividly boasted to others how he defeated the monster. However, he sometimes plays a role. For example, Master was arrested for nothing. He came to Huaguoshan to get the monkey out and finally saved Master. Therefore, I think Bajie is quite cute. Although he uses his brain from time to time, he also has a spark of wisdom. Friar Sand is the most honest of the three disciples. He is loyal to his master and respectful to his two senior brothers. However, it is not soft to fight monsters. Although it is not as powerful as Wukong, it can still protect the master at the critical moment. Moreover, among the four master and apprentice, he is the most alert person except Wukong. You can also remind the master. Although Journey to the West is very old, I believe its charm will last forever, because these four men and women really have their own strong points and are very attractive.
3. It's now or never-thoughts on reading "The ear of wheat is the biggest-Su Xiaolin"-thoughts after reading it
It's now or never-after reading The Maximum Ear of Wheat, people often say that there is no such shop after this village, just as Socrates told his disciples in The Maximum Ear of Wheat. Socrates, an ancient Greek scholar, asked his disciples to pick the biggest ear of wheat in the wheat field, and only allowed to enter and not to retreat. Disciples always think that there are still many opportunities, and they are not allowed to make a decision too early. As a result, at the end of the wheat field, each of them was empty-handed The last sentence of the article says: the pursuit should be the greatest, but it is true to hold your ears in front of you. Reading, I think of my cousin. My cousin finished college and got an undergraduate degree. At that time, he was in his twenties, and it was the time of ambition. He will study hard in the cold window for more than ten years and strive to break a new world in society. He is actively looking for a job and interviewing. He thinks he is an engineer, but in fact many people don't have this skill. Construction companies are scrambling for it! He always dislikes the harsh treatment of others. He has been looking for a job for two years in a row and interviewed dozens of companies. Menstruation often advises him to find a better job, starting from a lower level. Later, my cousin finally began to understand and accept opinions. Four years later, his annual salary is six. Being a man is like gleaning wheat. Opportunities are like doing homework. Doing homework is an opportunity to read test questions, reading extracurricular books is an opportunity to gain knowledge, and doing housework is an opportunity to exercise independent ability ... we can't set our goals too high. We must know how to seize the present opportunity. Life is really long, but it is a road that can only be entered and cannot be retired. Everyone on the road has equal opportunities and knows how to cherish opportunities. On the contrary, those who don't know how to seize the opportunity can only complain that they are unlucky and have no chance in the face of the opportunity they don't cherish.

Thoughts on Reading A Dream of Red Mansions
One is a fairy in Yuen Long, and the other is flawless jade. If there is no strange fate, I will meet him again in my life. If there is a strange fate, how can my mind be vain? One is the moon in the water, and the other is the flower in the mirror. How can there be a lot of tears in your eyes, how can it flow from autumn to winter and from spring to summer? -"Vanity Eyebrows"
A Dream of Red Mansions is a tragedy with a smile. A Dream of Red Mansions not only describes the life of three generations of a feudal aristocratic family from glory to decline, but also boldly accuses the feudal aristocratic class of its shamelessness and depravity, pointing out their hypocrisy, fraud, greed, decay and sin. It not only points out the inevitable collapse and death of this family, but also implies the inevitable collapse and death of the class and society to which this family belongs. The heroes created and loved by Cao Xueqin's brushwork are the two ministers and traitors who dared to try and hang the feudal nobles; Those who sympathize and mourn are the victims under the feudal system; What is criticized and denied is the hypocritical morality and unreasonable social system in feudal society. On the one hand, it was the former wood and stone alliance, on the other hand, it was a golden wedding. On the one hand, it is the aura of fame and fortune that feudal society must pursue, on the other hand, it is a fascinating free body. A Dream of Red Mansions written by Cao Xueqin shows us this silent contest. The tragic love story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu condensed all the smoke in this contest. "One is Xianpa in Yuen Long, and the other is flawless jade." The pursuit of quality is clean and neat. "In the face of all kinds of persecution and indifference under feudal ethics, even at the cost of life, the pursuit of quality and purity has never given up. While lamenting the love tragedy between Jia and Lin, we can see an important factor that caused the tragedy: Lin Daiyu's lofty personality was incompatible with the secular world at that time and could not be "integrated" with society. Her inferiority complex is the embodiment of her self-esteem and the beginning of her tragedy.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, she buries flowers, which is the focus of her personality. Her inferiority, self-esteem and self-pity are fully revealed in her "mourning poems": "Flowers wither, flowers fly all over the sky, and the fragrance dies. Who has pity for the fragrance?" "Three hundred and sixty days a year, wind knives and frost swords are pressed against each other, bright and bright, and it is hard to find a wandering. It's easier to see flowers than to find them. I'm worried about burying the flower man in front of the steps. I only steal flowers and shed tears, but I can see the blood stains on the branches. " "May Nong have wings this day and fly to the end of the day with flowers. The day is over! Where is Xiangshan? Without a trick, I hid my love with a pure land. It's better to be clean than trapped in a ditch. I'm going to Nong for burial today. I wonder when Nong will die. The man who buried the flowers is laughing today, but who did he know when he buried them? Let's see the residual flowers of spring gradually falling, which is the time when beauty is old. If you don't mourn for me, I don't know that flowers will fall and people will die. "
A secular person can't understand her thoughts. "I'm going to be buried in Nong today, and I don't know when Nong will die." The man who buried the flowers is laughing today. Who did he know when he buried them? "In the face of falling flowers, she thought of the scene behind her and couldn't let go, and shed tears. In front of feudal ethics, her inferiority aroused her self-esteem. When Baoyu was beaten, it was difficult for a clever woman to send Dan medicine to Xue Baochai, who had no rice to cook, and she also advised Baoyu to change his ways with admonition. As a supporter of Baoyu, a rebel of feudal ethics, Lin Daiyu, who is kind and aloof, just cried blindly, tears like peaches. Her crying is not weak. She sincerely supported Baoyu with her unique emotional experience of crying, and silently opposed feudal ethics. Therefore, it is only recently that I have a heart and a favorite.
"Quiet as a flower shines on the water, moving like a weak willow, the heart is dry, and the disease is as good as Xizi wins three points." Through Jia Baoyu's eyes, the author depicts a morbid beauty that is intelligent, versatile, beautiful and weak. Such a weak woman ignores the secular traditional laws and does the opposite. After countless times of destruction, when the end of life came, the ferocious face of feudal society accelerated her death. After reading A Dream of Red Mansions, we will never forget the scene before Daiyu died. When she was dying, Zijuan asked for help everywhere, but no one wanted to help. The old lady moved Baoyu's marriage to another place to avoid disaster. On the one hand, it is a festive scene of marriage, and on the other hand, it is the sadness before, "doomsday! Where is Xiangshan? " No wonder Daiyu buried flowers and kept chanting. Where is a clean and ideal place, and where is my own ideal place, Xiang Qiu? The real society I live in now is filthy. I want to find my ideal place, and Daiyu will never give up her pursuit of freedom. We are worried and resentful about this, and a pair of young men and women who are pursuing freedom are separated under the shackles of feudalism. "Don't mourn for me, I don't know if the flowers fall and people die!" In this way, Daiyu died in the sound of Baoyu's wedding drums. Left with her sweetness. Where is the sweetness? Sweetness gains understanding and love in a world where one person does not accept the world and the world does not accept people. In the lonely world, Baoyu is the eternal warmth in her heart. In this world where love is nowhere to be found, Baoyu is the eternal pain in her heart. Although in the end she became a victim of those feudal systems.
"It's true when it's fake, it's really fake, and there's no way." The fake is true, which makes people wonder everything in A Dream of Red Mansions. As a soul figure, Lin Daiyu is different from ordinary people. She is her, a bunch of lofty, aloof and narcissistic empty valleys. Lin Daiyu's inferiority complex was given by fate, and she also wrote about her fate.
