In this summer holidays, I read a book called < Great Expectations>, it was written by Charles Dickens, one of the most famous English writers. He wrote lots of wonderful novels. This book is one of his compositions.
People always like to compare with their friends. It is a big foible of all the people. If other people have a lot of money, we also want to be rich. If all the people around us are poor , we never mind that we are very poor, too. we will not ashamed because of our folly. This is a social problem.
If we never possess anything, we will not mind we lost some thing. Since we don’t want to be very rich ,we will not feel despond because poor.
The protagonist of this novel is Pip (Handel). His parents died when he was a baby. His sister had brought him up ‘by hand’. His sister married to Joe Gargery, the village blacksmith.

这有三篇 About Jane Eyre Love versus Autonomy Jane Eyre is very much the story of a quest to be loved. Jane searches, not just for romantic love, but also for a sense of being valued, of belonging. Thus Jane says to Helen Burns: “to gain some real affection from you, or Miss Temple, or any other whom I truly love, I would willingly submit to have the bone of my arm broken, or to let a bull toss me, or to stand behind a kicking horse, and let it dash its hoof at my chest” (Chapter 8). Yet, over the course of the book, Jane must learn how to gain love without sacrificing and harming herself in the process. Her fear of losing her autonomy motivates her refusal of Rochester’s marriage proposal. Jane believes that “marrying” Rochester while he remains legally tied to Bertha would mean rendering herself a mistress and sacrificing her own integrity for the sake of emotional gratification. On the other hand, her life at Moor House tests her in the opposite manner. There, she enjoys economic independence and engages in worthwhile and useful work, teaching the poor; yet she lacks emotional sustenance. Although St. John proposes marriage, offering her a partnership built around a common purpose, Jane knows their marriage would remain loveless. Nonetheless, the events of Jane’s stay at Moor House are necessary tests of Jane’s autonomy. Only after proving her self Jane Eyre — A Beautiful Soul（简爱） Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past. We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side. We remember her self We also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence… When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality. Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty. Learn to love and care（雾都孤儿） Here I am sitting on a couch alone, thinking about what I have just finished reading with tears of sadness filling my eyes and fire of indignation filling my heart, which revived my exhausted soul that has already been covered by the cruelty and the selfishness of the secular world for a long time. It is truly what I felt after reading Oliver Twist, written by the prominent British author Charles Dickens. The resonance between me and the book makes me feel not only the kindness and the wickedness of all the characters in the novel, but what this aloof society lacks, and what I lack deep inside. These supreme resources I’m talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals, oil that we usually mention. They’re abstract like feelings, and some kinds of spiritual stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from one another —— love and care. Those charitable figures whom Dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life. They showed love and care to others, just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth, which was carved into my heart deeply. Mr. Brownlow is one such person. The other day he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by two skilled teenage thieves, Artful Dodger and Charley Bates, and thought naturally it was Oliver, who was an orphan and forced to live with a gang of thieves, that had done it because he was the only one near by after the theft had taken place. Being wrathful, he caught Oliver, and sent him to the police station where the ill Perhaps most of us would feel confused about Mr. Brownlow’s reaction. But as a matter of fact, this is just the lesson we should learn from him. Jesus said in the Bible. “Forgive not seven times, but seventy Charles Dickens said:“Love makes the world go around.” These immortal words have inspired and will keep on inspiring us to chant the melody of love and to say the prayer of care forevermore. Let us, therefore, enjoy life and treat other people lovingly. These principles are the roots and foundations of beliefs supporting this article and our mission together.

Hemingway had once said The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn was the best novel in the history of American literature at that time.I admire him since he had won the Nobel Price ,a symbol of kind of authority.From the Internet,I also learned that the story of Huck Fin is so popular in U.S. that several movies about it had been released.It is only natural for me to hold high expectation towards the book.
　　 When reading the novel, i was astounded by Huck's free will and his typical character.He hates to "sivilized"by the conventional morality and would rather live in the wild to explore the truth of the nature.
　　 In my real life,most of us are obedient in the presence of social norm.The community is the place where we were brought up and where we will flourish or go down.It taught us to know the underlining rules in the daily life when sophistication is high-praised.Afraid of being alienated,we try to assimilate ourselves to adjust to the environment.In the process of seeking respect and acknowledgement,we gradually lost our individuality and become interdependent.The collectivistic culture does have great influence in our life.Sometimes it is just too "harmonious" that everything turns to be unnaturally unified.Our country is not developed in many senses,in order to get better control over the mass,the impressive huge population,our education had once become the industry to produce standardized products.Critical thinking was ignored and denied,for disobedience might result in disorder.How lucky for today's youngsters,to breathe the free air to the heart's content!We can gain information from various channels,and to voice ourselves freely,at least in the Internet.
　　 Our hero,Huck,who symbolizes the character of the rising emigrants on the new continent,is daring and unconventional,keeping pursuing freedom and individuality.His sympathy for the slave,Jim,finally overcomes previous prejudice.And this shows a new trend of thought,a universal equality recommended by the new nation.Under the premise of not hurting anyone,he is in pursuit of his freedom to the greatest extent.How I envy his broad mind and unrestrainedness! The very individualistic oriented culture,which makes U.S. such a prospers enterprise country,is distinctively revealed.The people there love challenging tasks and welcome the competitive industrial life.It is estimated that on average Americans change their jobs every four years,yet in China many people prefer relatively steady occupation.(A typical one is civil servants.These days many people jump at the entering for the exams of national public servant).Clearly, it is our national character,to look for a cautious or moderate way in behaviour and decision.However,the age is changing rapidly,the new generation has become more bold and flexible.And i am also curious about what our county will grow to be.
　　 Besides,the language of the book is also "unsilvilized",it is composed with the dialect among blacks in the southern states.As an authentic presentation of the life of southerners,the wording is coherent with the style of Huck:fresh and unspoiled.
　　 The theme of freedom also can be perceived from the depiction of Jim.Nobody is born to be slave or inferior,if he behaves uncivilly,that is because society fail to cultivate him.Today Barack Obama has conquered the whole nation with his wisdom and charm.And he is the vivid illustration of racial equality in U.S.
　　 This an age for freedom,and our Mark Twain had sensitively caught the essence of the the stream of times in advance.That is where his greatness lies.
