Last leaf, last love
Yesterday I heard a heart-stirring story written by O Henry. It said in an autumn, a sad girl lied on the bed. She has a bad serious illness. And she would die soon. She looked attentively at a leaf outside the window, and told to an old painter who cared for her that she would die when the last leaf fell. The old painter didn’t want the young girl to die; he wanted to give her a wish to live. He knew that there would be a rainstorm soon; the leaf will be blown off. For continuing the girl’s life, the old painter drew a green leaf on the wall when it rained heavily. The following day, the girl woke up, and she was surprised to see that the green leaf did not be blown off. Her wish came true, and her mood became better and better. In the end, the girl is recovered to health. When she walked out of the hospital, she found that the leaf was painted on the wall!
The old painter died, but the wish that a leaf never grew old came true in the girl’s heart. In fact, continuing the girl’s life is also the painter’s wish. If only the life never grow old, the wish will be young forever.
The picture is a good present, it encourage the girl to face everyday. Maybe sometimes, we don’t need to give somebody presents, flowers; I think they just need a wish, a wish to continue their life. Like the green leaf in the article, it will be the best medicine to a patient. The last leaf which the painter painted is full of love and wish; I think the painter wanted the girl to face sunshine happily. That’s enough.

The last leaf is symbol of the leaf of life. It is the most treasured gift from an old artist!

The story described a young couple of good friends. It's Johnsy and Sue. After a period of happy time, Johnsy encounted the Mr. Pneumonia in a cold night in November. One day afternoon, she was desperatly looking out of the window and was counting the leaves on the ivy tree. She firmly convinced that she would leave the world after the last leaf fell. She hadn't any passion for the furture life! Hadn't none other better ways, Sue had to ask the help of the Mr. Behrman. And old poor artist who lived on the ground floor beneath them!

He was a failure in art. he has been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never begun it. Af firstly, he was very scornful about this frustrated girl who was giving up her life after hearing of the last leaf story from Sue. Actually, in this old man's feeling inside, he earnestly wanted to save this poor and young girl. He panited the last vivid and lovely leaf throughout a dreadful night. Finally, this materpiece has been completed, and Johnsy kindled the life fire again. However, Mr. Behame died of the Pneumonia.

The story ended here, but, the sincere friendship would never stop forever! It is penetrating in every sentence of this essay, and it is also hovering in the reader's heart! Let us respect this best art-man! Meanwhile, I also associate him with my parents. They breed us and cultivate us! They have given us their best presents! We shall do all of our efferots to return the contributions to them!

《项链》读后感
看过《项链》的人大多都会把矛头直接指向那个美丽娇媚，但却出身不佳的女子的愚蠢，然后再自认为理智且正直地辛辣地指出小资产阶级贪图享乐，爱慕虚荣的种种人性的弱点。整篇小说作者都在调刺着主人公：玛蒂尔德的爱慕虚荣。
没有人能强行压制一个人对美，对富贵，对安逸生活的本能追求，对玛蒂尔德也是一样。她美丽动人，本不应该是城市平民的一员，但却受命运的捉弄降生在一个小职员的家里，在幻想有一个有钱的公子爱她，娶她的梦破灭后，她又嫁给一个同等地位的小职员，象其他中产阶级妇女一样，经营起了自己的的家庭。但事实上，在玛蒂尔德成为路瓦载夫人后，她的人生之路仍按生活的逻辑自然向前延伸。
小说的开头描写路瓦栽夫人的心理活动：对自己的生活极为不满，梦想像上流社会的贵妇人那样过高贵、风雅的生活。这种理想显然并不高尚。她确实虚荣，但趋乐避苦是人的本性，谁不想过锦衣玉食的日子呢？谁又愿意忍受贫困与丑陋呢？玛蒂尔德“美丽”、“丰韵”、“娇媚”，正是因为“她也是一个美丽动人的姑娘”，于是她心里就凭添了几许的不平与怨恨。年轻的她因为不能过上奢华的生活而整天郁郁寡欢。为了排遣自己的“不幸”与“痛苦”，她找到了一个出口——“梦想”。由于当时法国现实中，人们疯狂地崇拜金钱，拜金主义无情地冲击着人们的心灵，生活和婚姻。于是，玛蒂尔德不愿面对现实，而把理想寄托在梦境中，此时，可怜的玛蒂尔德已完全被虚荣心俘虏了，但是她却从来不想掩饰自己的渴望与痛苦，所以她并不虚伪。这种虚荣的真实感情表达可能让我们感到不自在，忍不住地批评几句。但是对于过不上自己满意生活的玛蒂尔德来说，她并没有用自己虚伪的一面得到奢华的生活，她只是想想而已。她恪受着做人的基本道理，维护着自己的尊严。生活中有很多的无奈，特别是对于她这种没权没钱的小妇人来说，特别是在丢失项链之后，欠下一大笔债款，在这种种和打击面前，她终于丢掉幻想，面对现实，用自己艰辛和诚实的劳动生活下去。
当我读完“失项链”部分，我不禁想：“为会么她会选择偿还这条路。其实她可以逃走或赖帐，远走高飞，不了了之。或者向朋友说明“真相”。但她都没有这样做，可见其自尊一面。“或者还可以在夜会街头用美貌吸引男人们的注意，很轻而易举还掉债务”。在当时法国确实有不少的女子愿意出卖人格，牺牲尊严而享受高物质消费。但她还是没有这样做。路瓦栽“决然”说：“要还！”，他们没有一丝的犹豫，他们悄然坚决地选择一条满布荆棘的人生之路一起唇齿相依地走过风，走过雨，走过昨天，走过今天，走过明天。玛蒂尔德洗衣服，干杂活，争价钱，受嘲骂，一个铜子一个铜子节省，原先高贵美丽的她变成胡乱的挽着头发，歪着系着裙子，露着一双通红的双手的粗俗妇人。她变了，十分贫困生活的磨擦，不仅改变她的容貌，更重要的是她的精神。艰辛的劳动、生活，把她的不切实际的幻想从云端拉回切切实实的地面，现在出现的是一个新生的玛蒂尔德。这时我不禁地为玛蒂尔德喝彩。
项链丢失后，青春美貌和人格尊严这两个法码摆在人生的天平上，逼她作出选择。她决定放弃青春，选择尊严。人生最重要的时刻说是懂得放弃，放弃也是一种美。那么对她来说那极细小的一件事是“败坏”她，还是成全她呢？ 最初玛蒂尔德被强烈的可怕的虚荣心所俘虏，后来，她义无反顾地作出令人惊讶的决定。最后，当她再遇自己依然年轻美貌的朋友，当她得知假项链的事实后，她的脸上露出灿烂的天真的笑容。这笑是她自信和骄傲的表现。
小说发人深省之处是让我们目睹了污浊，虚假，拜金的社会中的一颗金子般的心，一朵出淤泥而不染的莲花。玛蒂尔德是不幸的，她不幸在于不能盼自己得不到的东西而白白地增加烦恼，同时她是幸运的人，残酷的现实让她清醒，生活不只是云里雾里的幻想，更多是脚踏实地一步步的走过。守财奴，顾名思义，拥有无尽的物质财富，却依旧心有不安，一旦发觉有人触碰到自己的钱币便魂飞魄散。因此守财奴往往代表的是爱财如命，吝啬成癖的一种形象。
【守财奴】
有人说，守财奴是可悲的，因为他们赌上了一生的幸福，却只是为了换取生无法带来，死无法带走的物质财富。并且，当他们在世的时候，还要十分小心的提防着，不让别人触及自己的钱财，以防被别人偷走或者抢走。譬如在巴尔扎克《欧也妮@葛朗台》这本小说中，作者塑造了葛朗台，这个极端贪婪，极端吝啬的资产阶级暴发户的形象。许多人都认为葛朗台代表的守财奴的形象，充满了一种悲剧性的色彩在其中，因为他的一生都在做金钱的奴隶。
然而我却对这种看法不以为然。因为，当我们评价一个人是悲哀还是幸福的时候，不是以我们自己的标准去衡量，而是客观的评价对方的感受。葛朗台以看到金子，占有金子为人生的极乐境界，这只要看看他骗取了继承权之后的激动和兴奋，注意他弥留之际孩子般盯着金路易时“心理暖和”的喃喃和仿佛进入极乐世界的表情，我们便可以知道，虽然他是一个地地道道的守财奴，但是，他是幸福的。
在这个世界上，总有一半人永远都无法理解另一半人。倒不如，让我们摒弃世俗的偏见，走自己的路，让别人最终无路可走！
【逍遥游】
杂思感悟
——读庄子《逍遥游》有感
看完这篇文章，我就觉得，《逍遥游》是一篇神文，并且像这样的文章在中国文学史上是不多见的。
我们首先惊讶于庄子超出寻常的想像力。在庄子的笔下，“鲲”不知有几千里之大，一变而为“鹏”，鹏的背不知几千里，羽翼遮天蔽日，奋起南飞，击水三千，扶摇九万。何等宏大!作者为什么要创造一个如此巨大的艺术形象呢?首先，庄子是一个大思想家，这样巨大的形象是他所欣赏的。
其次，创造大的形象，也是为了与小的形象进行对比。你看，大的形象除了鲲鹏，还有冥灵、大椿、彭祖。小的形象有芥、蜩、斑鸠、朝菌、蟪蛄、斥，这一大一小形成的对比是十分鲜明的。那么，庄子是在褒大贬小吗?不是。那么庄子为什么要进行大小的对比呢?这样的对比和下文的宋荣子、列子、至人、神人、圣人是什么关系呢?这是读懂本文的关键所在。
作者写完大小的对比后，接着写了“知效一官，行比一乡，德合一君”者不过就是数仞间跳跃自得自满的小鸟，受到宋荣子的嘲笑。为什么?因为宋荣子不受外界舆论的束缚，懂得“内外”与“荣辱”的界限。然而，庄子对他仍然存有遗憾，“犹有未树也”，就是说，宋荣子没有达到庄子心目中的最高境界。列子可以御风而行，而且轻巧美妙，但他仍然达不到庄子的理想境界，因为列子“有所待”，没有风，他就无法飞，靠的是外部条件。庄子的理想境界是“无所待”，能够“乘天地之正，而御六气之辩，以游无穷者”。不依靠任何外物，达到绝对自由，这才是庄子的最高理想。至此，我们明白庄子对比的意图了：大对于小，是相对自由的；宋荣子无视毁誉，较之“征一国者”相对自由；列子御风而行，免受行走之劳，较之于徒步者，是相对自由。但所有这些，都达不到庄子的最高理想境界，因为他们都“有所待”。最后，作者推出一种理想化的人物：“至人”、“神人”、“圣人”。
庄子的对比手法是很有特点的。他发挥想像，将大与小推想到极致，从而给读者留下极深的印象。另外，庄子“大”的概念包含两方面的意思。一是空间上的概念，“几千里”、“几万里”、“坳堂”、“数仞”；二是时间上的概念，“五百岁”、“八千岁”、“朝菌不知晦朔”、“蟪蛄不知春秋”。庄子的对比往往借助寓言。本文通篇是寓言，形象生动，感人至深。
鲁迅先生说：“(庄子)著书十余万言，大抵寓言，人物土地，皆空无事实，而其文则汪洋辟阖，仪态万方，晚周诸子之作，莫之能先也。”
不仅如此，此文中列举了鹏，蜩与学鸠，朝菌，蟪蛄，冥灵，大椿及斥鷃一系列自然事物，唯独有关论述鹏的文字最多且鹏的形象留给读者的印象最深，那么鹏在文中到底有何意蕴呢？
鹏在文中固然有论证自然万物皆有待的作用，但它的意蕴远不止此。我们且来看看庄周对鹏的描述：“鹏之背，不知其几千里也；怒而飞，其翼若垂天之云。”“鹏之徙于南冥也，水击三千里，抟扶摇而上者九万里”“背若泰山，翼若垂天之云，抟扶摇羊角而上者九万里，绝云气，负青天……”此鸟绝非一般，它由不知其几千里的大鲲转化而成；飞行时卷起三千里浪花，在刮起龙卷风时腾空直上数万里云霄，遮天蔽日，声势浩大，这是何等雄伟的景象啊！蜩与学鸠认为大鹏徙于南冥完全没有必要飞上九万里高空，面对蜩与学鸠的嘲笑，清高孤傲的庄子不屑一顾，在庄子看来它是大智者，这两个小东西知道什么呢？燕雀安知鸿鹄之志哉？在庄子的眼中，大鹏有高远的理想，它威武壮美，可见庄周先生对大鹏这一形象寄予了深情厚爱。
那么庄子何以对大鹏情有独钟呢？大鹏有着高远的理想和不为世人（蜩与学鸠）理解的雄心壮志，庄子在那个追名逐利的时代有着不为人理解的弃绝功名利禄的逍遥游理想，在世俗人的眼里，庄子会是多么地傻呀！难道鹏这一形象不正是庄周自己的化身吗？鹏尽管威武壮美，有着凌云壮志，然而想飞上九万里高空必须要凭借六月海动大风，要想从九万里高空徙往南冥必须要无所阻塞，万物皆有待大鹏也不能幸免，这又是何等的悲哀与无奈，鹏的形象又打上了悲剧色彩的烙印。这难道不是庄子现实处境的真实写照吗？
逍遥游的人生理想既是庄子批判儒家积极入世哲学的反映，更是庄子在现实与理想,此岸与彼岸痛苦徘徊并超越现实与此岸的人生理想表白。
因此，文中的寓言及寓言中的形象仅仅是作者言志与抒情的符号，鹏的形象交织了庄周的清高孤傲，理想的高远与现实的无奈，既自豪又悲哀的复杂的矛盾心态，意蕴丰富。
我们说本文是神文，还因为庄子提出了深刻的哲学概念。本文讨论的核心是“绝对自由”，这是一个哲学命题。如果把庄子的“绝对自由”理解为现实社会中的无组织纪律，那就错了。庄子的“绝对自由”是一个“理念”，是对人的精神的阐释。庄子认为，作为形体的生命，是没有绝对自由的，也不可能有；而作为精神的生命是有绝对自由的，也应该有。
庄子生活在战国乱世，诸侯各国征伐不已，暴主佞臣杀人如麻。他的志向抱负不可能实现，他看透了这个社会的一切。于是，他开始追求精神上的自由。他希望自己的精神天马行空，无所羁绊，进而让精神的生命去解放作为形体的生命，从而达到物我两忘、超然物外的境界。
中国古代哲学有所谓“形而上”与“形而下”之说。我认为，任何一个人，一生中总有“心为形役”的烦恼。“心”即精神，“心为形役”，不得不做些违心的事情；所以古代文人追求的是“形为心役”。于是，“形”与“心”此起彼落，各有消长。这种交互起伏，构成了人生的基本矛盾。当“心为形役”时，即处于“形而下”(物质)状态；当“形为心役”时，即处于“形而上”(精神)状态。时上时下，有上有下，上上下下，下下上上，永无休止。
庄子提出的精神自由是想彻底解决这对矛盾，他的理想就是人应该达到“形而上”的状态，并永远保持。这种从本质上对人的肯定，对后人影响巨大，特别是给后来的文人以极深的影响，像陶渊明、李白、苏轼都打上了庄子的印记。当然，这也是庄子对中国哲学的贡献。
本文的语言奇伟怪谲，最能代表庄子的语言风格。清代文人胡文英评价说：“前段如烟雨迷离，龙变虎跃。后段如清风月朗，梧竹潇疏。善读者要须拨开枝叶，方见本根。千古奇文，原只是家常茶饭也。”
【林黛玉进贾府】
《林黛玉进贾府》向我们第一次展现了贾府。贾府的环境，有着丰富文化内涵，透过院落建筑与服饰仪节，我们清楚地认识到了贾府的特点，像贾母在贾府至高无上一样，贾府透示给黛玉的是骨子里的王尊王贵，它是封建大家庭的一个样板，是一个封建上层统治者的生活写照。
对黛玉的描写，处处表现她的“步步留心时时在意”，谨小慎微的态度表现她“寄人篱下”的心境，黛玉“上无亲母教养，下无姊妹兄弟扶持，只好依傍外祖母，”她有很强的自尊心，也有很强的自卑感。
凤姐一出场，满屋子全是她一个人在说话，别人都成了陪衬，她夸黛玉标致，叹黛玉命苦，对黛玉关怀备至，一切都依着贾母的心思行事，一切为了讨得贾母的欢心。她善解人意，巧手逢迎，乖巧机灵的性格和在贾府的实权地位都表现出来了。
贾宝玉生活在封建贵族家庭，处在封建正统势力的重重包围之中，这个家庭使他“留意于孔孟之间，委身于经济之道”这对贾宝玉是沉重的压力，他的“愁”和“恨”正是欲求摆脱而不得的苦闷心情的表现，他的“傻”和“狂”正是在痛苦中寻求新的生活和理想，却又找不到出路。以致陷于失望和迷惘的精神状态。
最后，我们要感谢作者曹雪芹，是他一手策划了我们这次穿越时间隧道的“故园神游”。

"Last leaf" This article is my "Children's Literature" on the see. When I finished reading the article, I who had a deep admiration for the artist's talent and the kind of self-sacrificing spirit.
What happened was this: So a good friend of Jones, unfortunately, contracted pneumonia, in their residence out of the window there is a cluster of ivy, through the baptism of wind and rain, and its leaves have disappeared into obscurity. Jones think when the last one leaves off the ivy-ray later, her life, coming to an end. SO this can not be racking their brains to dispel the idea of her, only to the downstairs, Mr. Berman for help. Berman is a painter, he knew that after a wet and windy night, in the ivy leaves off the light, when girls think that their certain death, when the old painter to allow girls to rekindle the fire of hope, he braved the wind and rain to leaves painted on the wall, for which he contracted pneumonia and died.
《最后一片树叶》
Read it, tears blurred my eyes, I thought of how great the old painter. Him, an ordinary painter, in order to save itself has to give up on a girl, paid with his life. I seem to see the face of it after he leaves unfinished a brilliant smile. He finally has had his wish. That is, he hopes to complete his Jingshizhizuo during their lifetime. It seems to me that he did. I think if he were alive, he would think so.
From the bottom of my heart I admire Mr. Berman, as well as the psychological Jones previously was sad. When people can not give up hope. Like our class a female classmate, she was very confident of their own. In a jumping goat, her teachers and fellow students rely on the constant encouragement, she finally jumped in the past. So, in our side, also need, as Mr. Berman did for our people to keep lit the fire of hope. In this way, our lives would flourishing.
From each of a small matter, every word from the language, one from each eye, we are little by little to build our self-confidence. Therefore, we must be careful to do things, talk, do not give up someone else's confidence. A people do not have self-confidence, nothing can be done.
When reading this article, I have been wondering: Why, Mr. Berman will be death? Because I did not know he was to die in order to draw a leaf, but did not know what was actually his paintings to their work. Until I saw the words of the last paragraph of the article. This is what the Soviet Union to the friends said, she said: "There are some things I must tell you, white mouse (Jones)， Mr. Rae Mann died of pneumonia in the hospital today. He only sick for two days. The first day of the morning, to see found the door in his room very sick. His shoes and clothes were soaked, and cold Speranskia tuberculata did not know he was doing in that wind and rain the night went, only found a lantern, still lit; There is obviously just used a ladder; have a few to throw on one side of the brush; a Nianman yellow, green, two kinds of mixed-color palette, as well as … … my dear, you look out the window bar, wall ivy leaf on that last one! you not think Mody? Why wind and rain it does have a motionless? Oh. Dear Mr. Berman Jingshizhizuo this is?? That night, when the last leaf to fall, He took it painted on the wall. "
