1、The impression of A Little Princess and Little Women A Little Princess is a touching novel written by Frances Hodgson Burnetta famous novelist and dramatist. It obviously contains lots of fancied plots, but the parts it talks about creating miracles, can really reach the bottom of my heart. The book

2、 can bring me into a world that is more than reality while reading it. The extraordinary story makes me ponder a lot and gives me a deep impression that every girl can be a princess. After reading this outstanding book, I was shocked by Sara, a little girl who suffered such unimaginable pain and tor

3、tures, but still had an opposite attitude towards life. What impresses me most is that Sara put on her act of being a princess when she wore thin bottom shoes, wading in the street of London. From my point of view, her spirit of being so strong-minded when she was in hard times is worth admiring. Ev

4、ery girl can be a princess if she can do all I mentioned, no matter she is rich, beautiful or not. To speak truthfully, I cannot do as well as Sara. However, I will exert myself on being a princess mentally. The story of a little princess reminds me a book I read many years ago, called little women.

5、 The story of little women also impressed me and makes me think a lot. Little Women is a coming of age drama tracing the lives of four sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. During the American Civil War, the girls father is away serving as a minister to the troops. The family, headed by thier beloved Marm

6、ee, must struggle to make ends meet, with the help of their kind and wealthy neighbor, Mr. Laurence, and his high spirited grandson Laurie. This book all begins in the dead of winter; The Christmas Season. The coldest one of all, were the war has made fuel for heating very scarce. While her husband

7、is off at war, Marmee is left alone to raise their four daughters: Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy.One of the prominent themes in Little Women is the coming of age or maturation of the girls. During the course of the novel we see them grow in many ways - physically, intellectually, and especially emotionally

8、. One question which readers must ask themselves is whether the views the characters have on the coming of age process are shared by Alcott. If they arent, what are Alcotts views and how do they differ from those of the women in her story?It is interesting to examine the last half of Chapter 20, Con

9、fidential. Jo addresses the maturation issue as she speaks with Marmee of the situation between Meg and Mr. Brooke. The possible love between these two represents one of the very important aspects in coming of age for a teenage girl. Jo treats this natural process as if it were some sort of disease,

10、 however. Jo cannot understand why Meg would want to stop behaving like a sensible creature , and refers to love as such nonsense.After reading this two books, I found that Im really interested in those kind of story, I think Ill read a lot more in my free time. The impression of Camille I read the

11、Camille recently ,I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800s, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval,

12、 and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. after reading this book, a sentence always stay in my head, “Women are like

13、 the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of

14、humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?The impression of Gullivers Travels Gullivers Travels recounts the story of Lemuel Gulliver, a practical-minded Englishman trained as a surgeon wh

15、o takes to the seas when his business fails. In a deadpan first-person narrative that rarely shows any signs of self-reflection or deep emotional response, Gulliver narrates the adventures that befall him on these travels. One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether the

16、Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swifts satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnh

17、nms act, we can see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride. When bending my eyes downward as much as I could, I perceived a human not six inches high! A final indication that the Houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader

18、of the Houynhms visits Lilliput, where he visits the French Royal Society. He goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at Gallilee). The scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success,

19、 when the Houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: The creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. Slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door .The impression of Little Women Little Women is a coming of age dram

25、refers to love as such nonsense.The impression of Pride and Prejudice Pride and Prejudice is the most enduringly popular novel written by Jane Austen. Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfe

26、ctly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”.

27、 The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession. People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I kn

28、ow the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man. Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp o

29、bservation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and

30、classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.The impression of The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievo

31、us young boy who lives in the small town on the Mississippi River called St. Petersburg. The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyers life. Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm

32、in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. The book is filled with Toms adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of. The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. It is a story filled with ac
