I read the Chinese version of 「Camille」 a few years ago. At that time 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 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, 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. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn』t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The Duke needed to 「wake up and smell the coffee」 and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without 「keeping」 her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn』t her fault; it』s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: 「Women are like 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 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?

Before I do anything as long as there is one point does not work well, they will retreat, and sometimes even say a few words dejected to say. In learning, I have a few tests as long as there is not very good there will be no confidence that their getting good grades.

以前,我做什麼事只要有一點不順利,就會退縮,有時還會說上幾句垂頭喪氣的話。在學習上,我只要有幾次考試不是很理想就沒有信心,認為自己考不到好成績。《老人與海》中,主人公與鯊魚搏鬥,魚叉被鯊魚帶走了,他把小刀綁在槳把上亂扎。刀子折斷了,他用短棍。短棍也丟掉了,他用舵把來打。這本書揭示出的真理,不就說明了人無論怎樣,最怕的就是沒有信心。信心就好比是汽車的馬達,是人前進的動力。如果你做一件事有了信心,你就等於成功了一半。這本書中主人公充滿信心、鍥而不捨的精神,不正是我所缺少的嗎?

自從讀了這本書之後,我知道了自己的不足,學習上不再因為一兩次不順利而失去信心,而是越考不好,就越要考好。在期末考試的那一天,上午的兩門功課成績,我沒有班裡的某一個同學好,但是我並不服輸,反而信心倍增,決心打一個翻身仗。下午的語文考試,我做每一道題目都格外仔細。果然,我語文考試是班裡的第一名,總成績上,我也是第一名。

I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. This is definitely a book everyone can relate to.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous 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 Sawyer's life.
Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm 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 Tom's 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 action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.
The book is a little difficult to read at first. Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms (which I'm sure uses terms even young children already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.
故事的主人公湯姆是個天真、活潑而又頑皮的典型美國少年。他和野孩子夏克,各乾出了許多令人捧腹的妙事。像湯姆被罰粉刷圍牆,竟施出詭計,不但使別的孩子心甘情願代替他工作,還自動奉上謝禮。後來和夏克逃到荒島去,人們以為他們淹死了,正在教堂為他們舉行喪禮,而他們卻躲在教堂的鐘樓上偷聽。這些頑皮的舉動,雖然不能給我們做模範,但是,他為了正義,毅然地挺身出來作證人,拯救那無辜的罪犯沫夫彼得。並在頑皮之餘,居然和夏克破獲了一樁謀殺案,成為眾人欽佩的小英雄。看來,湯姆也有值得我們學習的地方。()
人總是會長大的,除了個兒長高了,身子強壯了以外,人的思想也在長。你對世界的看法不同了,懂事了,不再幼稚了。不過人是要越變越好才是。千萬不能像歷險記里的那個心狠手辣的壞蛋卓伊一樣,他壞事做盡,人見人憎。但最後他還是惡有惡報,得到了一個活活餓死在山洞裡的下場。
看完《湯姆索亞歷險記》,我真羨慕湯姆能有如此有趣的經歷。這本書讓人看起來津津有味,甚至廢寢忘食。我想,《湯姆索亞歷險記》在你煩悶的時候或許能讓你一笑解千愁。
