Childhood is an autobiographical novel written by Gorky according to his childhood. It exposed the dark, cruel and inhuman life of the Russian czar. Gorky lived in such an environment since he was a child, suffering from torture and humiliation both mentally and physically. However, Gorky did not lose confidence in life, but came strong.
Gorky's original name was Alexei Macsimovici Peter Skov, and his nickname was Aletha. He lost his father at an early age and followed his father and grandmother to his grandfather's house. Everything is just the beginning of the tragic fate of the protagonist Aletha. Grandpa's home is not so much a home as a hell on earth. Grandfather is in charge of everything in the family. He has a bad temper and treats money like life. Aletha, the protagonist, is often beaten up for his mistakes. Two uncles often quarrel and struggle to separate; Women have no position in the family, and let their husbands beat and scold them to vent. All these have left a shadow on Alisha's young mind.
After that, Alisha left her grandfather's house and set foot on the society alone. He worked as a handyman in many places, during which Aletha was bullied, but he survived. Because he has been supported by his indomitable spirit and belief.
Now, we really don't know when we will be blessed and have nothing to eat and wear. But little Aletha didn't have enough to eat and put on, and he was beaten and bullied. Tragedy after tragedy, I can't help thinking: What would happen if we lived in the Russian czar's time? Do you think it is not a inhabited place at all?
The times are progressing, but people are getting weaker and weaker. When encountering difficulties, they want to retreat, escape or take shortcuts. Turgenev said: "If you want to be happy, you must first learn to suffer hardships." A good life will last only if you pay, and you will get it only if you work hard.
We must work together to protect our motherland and be a strong China people!
Reflections on "If you give me three days of light"
In the 20th century, a unique individual life shocked the world in a brave way. She is Helen Keller, a woman who lives in the dark but brings light to mankind, a weak woman who has spent 88 spring and autumn years but survived 87 years dull, silent and speechless. However, it is such a person who is claustrophobic in the world of blind and deaf people. He graduated from Degilliff College of Harvard University, spent all his life running around and set up a charity for the disabled, and was selected as one of the top ten American hero idols in the 20th century by Time magazine. Creating this miracle depends on an indomitable heart. Helen accepted the challenge of life, embraced the world with love, faced difficulties with amazing perseverance, finally found light in the dark, and finally extended her loving hands to the world.
"If people live every day as if it were the last day of their lives, it would be great, which would better reflect the value of life. However, the use and enjoyment of time is limited. " If everyone can make full use of every day, it will be a happy thing! Three days of light is only a short moment in life for ordinary people. For Helen, who is blind, this is unimaginable. In real life, there are always some people who lament that fate is unfair to them and complain that God has not given them clever talent and superhuman wisdom, which has made them famous in one fell swoop. I don't know that the real society depends on knowledge, and it is impossible for people without knowledge to have a place in society. If we can study hard and let knowledge occupy our brains, we can lay a cornerstone for the future road! Let's bring light to the dark world and hope to the hopeless world!
Let's take a look at Helen Keller's three-day schedule! On the first day, I want to look at people. They
My kindness, gentleness and friendship make my life worth living. First of all, I hope to stare at the face of my dear teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, for a long time. When I was a child, she came to me and opened the outside world for me. I will not only see the outline of her face in order to treasure it in my memory, but also study her appearance and find vivid signs of her tenderness and patience out of sympathy. This is how she accomplished the arduous task of educating me. I hope to see in her eyes the strong character that can make her stand firm in the face of difficulties and the sympathy for all mankind that she often reveals to me. "
On the second day with vision, I will get up at dawn and watch the night turn into a moving miracle during the day. I will look up at the magnificent panorama of dawn with awe, and at the same time, the sun wakes up the sleeping earth. On this day, I will take a quick look at the world, past and present. I want to see the miracle of human progress, the endless changes over thousands of years.
The next morning, I will greet the dawn again, eager to find new happiness, because I believe that for those who can really see, the dawn of every day must be a new beauty that will be repeated forever. According to the deadline of my imaginary miracle, this will be the third and last day I can see. I won't have time to spend on regrets and desires, because there are too many things to see. On the first day, I dedicated myself to my friends, both alive and lifeless. The next day, I saw the history of human and nature. Today, I will spend my time in the current daily world and go to places frequented by people who are busy with their lives. Where can I find so many activities and situations like new york? So this city became my destination. She hopes to have three days of light to feel the world and make her familiar with everything around her. Helen Keller wants to see too much, but it's just a beautiful dream.
"Suffering is a stepping stone to genius ..." It is suffering that makes Helen Keller's strong character. As a blind, deaf and disabled person, she has a healthy psychology beyond ordinary people. She expressed her thirst for knowledge and sincere love for mankind with what she could feel and imagine. She warned others with her own personal experience that a healthy mind is the most basic condition for human success, and a healthy person can't achieve anything without a healthy mind. Mentally healthy people, even if they are physically disabled, will not complain about the fate, will not accept and yearn for the pity of others, and will reach the other side of the ideal with their strong perseverance.
A philosopher once said, "Courage exists in the soul, not in a strong body." This is a true portrayal of Helen. Those who have seen "If Give Me Three Days of Light" should know her misfortune. In the eyes of ordinary people, what will be gained from such an unfortunate life? However, Helen has created one miracle after another: she was not only admitted to Harvard University, but also wrote 14 works in her life. She also traveled in many ways and set up many charities all over the United States, which a normal person can't do. Cherish the reality to have a future. This is the value of "cherishing" and the dialectics of life. Compared with Helen, many of us may feel ashamed. Because although we have a healthier body than her, we often make the mistake of "seeing but not seeing much", just as she said. Or we suffer for what we "have lost", or worry about what we can't get, but we don't cherish what we really "have" and don't know how to grasp it well.
In the face of adversity, Helen stood up strongly. She is really physically and mentally disabled. As for self, it has good conditions, but it lacks perseverance. Therefore, this article gave me the greatest inspiration:
First, try your best to finish everything. A famous person once said, "What's not easy? It is not easy to insist on doing what you should do every day. What's not simple? It is not easy to do everything best. " Please think about this problem. If you only have three days of light, how will you use your eyes? Thinking that after three days, the sun will never rise in front of your eyes again, how will you spend those precious three days? Where will you put your eyes?
Second, we should have an optimistic attitude. In the face of great blows and difficulties, Helen didn't complain about others, but faced them with optimism to gain confidence. The following story also illustrates this point. Two scholars with equal grades went to Beijing to catch the exam. When they were on the road in the middle of the night, they met the funeral procession and passed the coffin. The former is very worried and thinks this is not a good sign. The latter thought: coffins, coffins, officials and wealth. So the latter won the first prize. But the former is unknown on the list, and this story can better explain that optimism is one of the important factors for success.
Is it because I am poor, obscure, plain and short that I have no soul and no heart-you are wrong, my heart is as rich and full as yours!
-Jane Eyre Charlotte
In the history of literature, there are many immortal classics, but Jane Eyre has entered people's souls so deeply, attracting thousands of readers with an irresistible aesthetic feeling and influencing people's spiritual world. Even for some people, there are not many works that affect life.
Jane Eyre is a novel by Charlotte Brontexq, one of the "Bronte Three Sisters" in the British literary world in the19th century. The story is set in a remote English village in the early19th century. From the perspective of Jane Eyre, the heroine tells the story of how an orphaned child who was devastated and abused stubbornly survived in the hellish orphanage of human children and became an independent, strong, self-respecting and confident woman.
Jane Eyre, an orphan, was fostered in her aunt's house and bullied in every way. Later, I went to Lowood Orphanage, a charity school, and my soul and body were greatly tortured. Perhaps it is this that brought Jane Eyre's infinite self-confidence and indomitable spirit, and she completed her studies with indomitable will and excellent results. In order to pursue an independent life, she was employed as a tutor at Thornfield Manor. The focus of the story is the bitter love between Jane Eyre, a junior tutor, and Rochester, the male host. The disparity between the social status and personality of the hero and heroine makes this love full of fierce collisions, while similar hobbies and sincere love make this love have a brilliant spark. The author tells the story with Jane Eyre's distinctive female perspective and narrative style, which is true and artistic. Especially Jane Eyre's unique personality and thoughts. Love is an unattractive short woman, but she has tenacious self-esteem. While touching the noble heroes, they also firmly grasped the hearts of our readers.
As the heroine of a love novel, Jane Eyre appeared as an unprecedented female image in this19th century literary work. In the past, the heroines in love stories were all beautiful, gentle, noble and virtuous women. However, Jane Eyre is "poor, humble, humble and short", but she has a smart, strong and brave heart, which makes those external beauty overshadowed by this inner beauty. What is more commendable is that Jane Eyre did not feel inferior because of poverty and looks. On the contrary, she is brave and firm: "I am equal to your soul." "I have a soul like you-and an identical heart!" "I'm not talking to you according to customs, conventions, or even flesh and blood-it's my heart talking to your heart, as if we have all passed away, and we stand before God together, equal to each other-just like us!"
Because of this, Jane Eyre dared to love a man whose social class was much higher than her own, and even dared to voluntarily declare her love to each other-this was extremely bold in the society at that time. Happiness is no longer the patent of a certain person or class, but belongs to everyone in the world. Only two equal souls can form a complete love, so Jane Eyre insists that her independence and the pursuit of love integrity are inseparable. Later, Jane Eyre left Rochester sadly, and for the same reason, she could never allow herself to marry a married man. It will be an incomplete love. If she is with Rochester, she is not the same independent and equal Jane Eyre. If Jane Eyre's departure is a rational choice she has to make because of the unchangeable reality, then her final return is another rational choice made out of the pursuit of sticking to her feelings.
Here, what we see is not only a pale Cinderella story of a civilian woman winning the love between a man and a noble. It was Jane Eyre who bravely and decisively walked out of Cinderella's fairy tale and started a literary road of new women and true women. Jane Eyre despises wealth, social status and religious dignity. She believes that "true happiness lies in a beautiful spiritual world and a noble heart." The strength demonstrated by her beliefs and actions deeply touched the hearts of readers from generation to generation and purified the souls of people living in a society where money is everything. Jane Eyre is a woman who has a rational understanding of her own thoughts and personality, a woman who has a firm pursuit of her own happiness and feelings, a woman who is no longer just following men and secular requirements, a woman who has made independent judgments on her own values and feelings, and a strong and independent woman. Charlotte Brontexq created an unprecedented female image; Jane Eyre issued a female voice-the persistence and pursuit of equality, independence, integrity and freedom.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontexq is a realistic novel, which has been widely circulated in different languages and races all over the world since it was published in 1847. Jane Eyre has always been regarded as a classic of independent women. I hope more Jane Eyre will come out in the sun, whether poor or rich; Regardless of beauty or plain appearance, everyone has a beautiful heart and a full mind, and can live with an independent personality and a strong personality.
