Reading experience of The Moon and Sixpence (excellent 5 articles) 1 As a teacher, you should also take the time to replenish your energy in time so as to grow and progress slowly in your future work. Two days ago, a good friend recommended me to read the book The Moon and Sixpence, which was very good. I happened to meet the books here when I went to the bookstore, so I bought them. After reading them, I still feel a lot.
The main plot of the novel is that the owner Charles, as a stockbroker, has a virtuous wife and a son and a daughter at home, but suddenly one day he suddenly disappears, just because of the burning flame in his heart, his love for painting and his desire to pursue his dreams. At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that it is not terrible to have no money. What is terrible is that I have no dream of spending my life in mediocrity.
Everyone will feel that the road to chasing dreams is beautiful, and there are surprises everywhere on the road. In fact, there will be thorns and bumps on the road to chasing dreams. This dream pursuit is not shouting a few slogans, but practicing yourself in a down-to-earth way. This reminds me of how I spent my college days. When I was in the third year of high school, I made up my mind to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Every day I shout my own slogan, others go out to play and study in the library. In fact, I asked myself that I was in the library. In fact, I don't know where my heart has flown. I said I wanted to pursue my dream, but I didn't work hard and experience difficulties in my own practice.
The realization of dreams must go through certain hardships before it will blossom into a flower of victory. Just like Charles, he experienced the embarrassment of life for the first time on his way to becoming a painter. Five years later, he was dying because of physical illness and psychological frustration. Such setbacks and sufferings did not make him return to a comfortable life, but he still insisted on his little dream, and later he was exiled to an island in the Pacific Ocean. He also married an indigenous woman, but later he unfortunately suffered from leprosy, which led to blindness. Under such difficult conditions, he painted a prosperous work.
After reading this novel, my mood is very complicated. I don't know how to evaluate his merits and demerits. The moment I left home, I abandoned my children and my wife. But in order to pursue my dream, I believe I can't like such a person in my life, even if he is very talented. But I also thought that I have a dream in my heart, and everywhere I go is far away. I made up my mind to pursue the truth and the flame in my heart.
When writing this article, there were snowflakes floating outside. I have thought a lot, of the great men who are determined to change the backward appearance of China, of myself and of me now.
Ask yourself, which would you choose, being content with the status quo or chasing your dreams?
Reading experience of The Moon and Sixpence (excellent 5 articles) 2 The Moon and Sixpence This is a story about leaving, leaving your own life, leaving everything and looking for your inner ideal.
What are strickland's personality characteristics? Love yourself almost selfishly. When I say I love myself, I don't mean that because he loves himself, he makes his life full of flowers and colorful clouds. He is not keen on dressing himself or keeping healthy. His almost selfish love for himself is his ideal of loving himself. It is also the place where the world criticizes, abandoning his wife and children for the ideal.
After living alone, he was extremely untidy, with no job and no money. Once, he was dying in a dark attic because of hunger-he lowered his living standard and pursued his painting ideal with a high degree of spiritual purity that completely ignored his living standard.
Before he was forty, he had a job and a family. Live a life consistent with ordinary people. After forty years old, he suddenly left the track of life and no one knew him. He only knows his inner desire to be a painter. Right or wrong? Who knows? The inscription in the Greek temple is "Know yourself". After knowing ourselves, we will calmly choose our own life instead of relying on external standards or other people's hopes.
Fortunately, he knows himself best among all sentient beings. In the end, he also made some achievements in painting. After painting his inner desire, he asked his female companion to light the mural. How tragic, the torch was unloaded from the ideal stone in his heart.
Unfortunately, he betrayed his family. Everyone will sympathize with his wife and condemn the man. Therefore, his wife, the best way is to burn all his things, unload all the disappointment, abandonment and condemnation in her heart, and be a wise person.
There is an old saying in China: Masters are among the people, which refers to some groups with superb skills but little knowledge. Strickland was such a master that his paintings were not appreciated before his death. He was not known until his death. Is painting for success? The answer is no, so there is no regret after it dies, only satisfaction. The person who regrets is neither Van Gogh nor a swift horse. It is the voice of our readers-people who always feel talented must be accompanied by BMW.
The pursuit of art (whatever it is) has to be sacrificed. Reading literature books made me understand that the boundaries between good and bad in the world are blurred. After reading The Moon and Sixpence, what kind of judgment will you make on his abandoned family? Literature tells us that everyone has a reason. He told us not to be absolute, but to tell us what the world is like and what human nature is like. There is a reason behind everything. As long as we are willing to feel, then we can avoid prejudice, blind obedience and vulgarity. There is no right or wrong pursuit, whether material or spiritual, it is important to know what you want, or the Greek inscription: know yourself. It is also a sentence that I look at myself.
Reading experience of The Moon and Sixpence (5 excellent articles) 3 Not a genius, still free and brave. -inscription
As a book that occupies the top ten of the required reading list and the abandoned reading list all the year round, to be honest, this book is hard to like. The main plot is not complicated. Strickland, a London stockbroker, quit his job to study painting in Paris after studying painting at night school for a year, and later died on an island. He was not famous before his death, but he became a famous painter after his death. His prototype is Gauguin, who is as famous as Van Gogh.
Many people interpret this book as: the moon represents lofty ideals and sixpence represents reality.
It would be a pity to define such a story as a middle-aged man who gave up his career and wife in pursuit of his dream and finally became famous and reflected on his ideals and reality. Is he pursuing art? Is that all? If not, what is it?
This question led me to finish reading the book.
When Crane decided to study painting, he didn't know he was a genius. He chose painting because he was happy. As a securities practitioner, his ideal is to create. Everyone has his own life, the environment in which he grew up, and the goals he is eager to achieve. It's just that sometimes our wishes and goals seem far away. Should we give up? We are all a little bit in the trend of the times. We live and run towards our goal, not to give up in order to finally find out that we are not a genius, but to tell us in the book. No genius can be free and brave and live up to this life.
Ideal is a double-edged sword. If you want to achieve it, you must give up something. Many people give up their ideals because we can't be a pure person. As long as the moon, you will starve to death, as long as sixpence, you will live a vulgar life. If you want to grasp it with both hands, you will find that the moon is out of reach and sixpence is too little.
Only extremely pure people can desperately pursue their own ideals. But it is also a kind of sadness, greatness and loneliness.
God gave a man extraordinary talent, and naturally he took some away, which made Beethoven deaf, Monet blind, Yayoi Kusama hallucinated and Turing committed suicide. God's chosen genius has its own pain and happiness, but most of us ordinary people, wearing ideal coats, live in the street.
Our life is very simple, very simple, without ambition, and without cutting meat to feed the eagle. Because ordinary or even mediocre, so we can have the simplest happiness, eat, drink and drink tea, see a flower and a tree, and be satisfied with the present.
Living like this can't be said to be unlucky. People will eventually return to the dust and look for the ordinary.
Reading experience of The Moon and Sixpence (5 excellent articles) 4 I once saw a sentence in a movie: I don't just want to live, I want to live meaningfully. I think this is also the essence of Mao Mu's book. Strickland, who had a successful career, left his wife and children, gave up his stable job and went to Paris to study painting alone. He was poor and ill, but he never gave up pursuing his ideal. After finishing his fantastic masterpiece in the hut, he lit it with satisfaction.
Life is long, please look up at the moon.
In the eyes of many people, it is ridiculous to give up the existing stable life and leave their relatives who have been together for many years to pursue illusory "fantasies" and even die for them. These behaviors are even contemptuous and incomprehensible. Especially during the epidemic, I have a deeper understanding of reading and life. I think this is precisely the deeper meaning of the word "life". I often think that if all people live according to the rigid procedures of birth, growth, adulthood, reproduction and death, then human existence is no different from other animals. If there is no ideal, but we just do the same work day after day, are we running around the world for more than 20 thousand days for our ideals, or are we just standing still for our lives and repeating it more than 20 thousand times a day?
It is because we have ideals and pursuits that we are separated from other animals. There is a saying in The Moon and Sixpence: There are sixpence everywhere, but he looks up and sees the moon. I think sixpence corresponds to the reality within reach, and the moon is a distant ideal. Strickland in the book is obviously a moon watcher and a moon chaser. I think, maybe we can only look at the moon from a distance once in a life full of chicken feathers, but we don't have the courage to pick it, but we always have some respect and appreciation for the moon chasers.
We should always cherish the yearning for bright and pure ideals. Rolling red dust, we are just the most common one. Maybe we wallow in sixpence all our lives, but we have dreams every night.
On a quiet night, when the ideal is still awake, we can quietly open the window and look up at the moon.
Reading experience of The Moon and Sixpence (5 excellent articles) 5 The title of The Moon and Sixpence is very interesting. At first glance, it sounds like a story of "dream and reality" or a choice of "moon and sixpence", but it is far more than that. In fact, the title of this book is just an accident, but it does not unexpectedly reflect that readers often have troubles between ideal and reality. The hero in the book took an extreme road that was almost crazy about his dreams. We may hate his selfishness, but we are deeply moved by his persistence. However, human nature is multifaceted, and the world is not black and white. Giving him a right or wrong, good or bad attribute directly seems a bit complicated for his extreme but decisive obsession.
Excerpts from this book:
"I am eager to live a more thrilling life. As long as I can make changes, I mean unpredictable changes and excitement, and I am ready to set foot on rugged mountains and unpredictable beaches. "
"I tell you, I have drawn. I can't help it If a person falls into the water, it doesn't matter whether he swims well or not. Anyway, he will either struggle or drown. "
These are two words that I deeply felt in The Moon and Sixpence.
As for Lan, the hero, he chose to abandon everything for his ideal, but he didn't think the ideal was noble and harmonious. He only knew that it was what he wanted most. For Stroff, who was badly hurt by the hero, he chose selfless dedication and died for his family. He loves his wife unconditionally, and he would rather leave as long as she is happy. We don't know if this is what he wants most.
Perhaps for us, whether we choose the ideal or the reality, if it is what we want most, we should go forward bravely without fear of difficulties and obstacles. Whether you are right or wrong, whether you are worthy of your heart, and whether you can hide from the darkroom, you need to think for yourself.
In fact, there is no gap between ideal and reality, pursuit and material. Have an ideal in your heart and know the reality in your eyes. Although contradictions are inevitable, we need to grasp the degree and distinguish the proportion. If the ideal is like the moon hanging in the sky, thinking about it can help you fall asleep in no hurry, and sixpence is the first step to stand on your own feet, so that you can accumulate more courage to approach the moon. Although the ideal is beautiful and does not need others' understanding, it is also essential to face the reality, so as to support and feed back the ideal.
This book doesn't read like a typical novel because the author tells it in the first person, which makes people feel that the protagonist is as real as the people around the author.
The names of characters in foreign novels are always very long, and sometimes they are difficult to read because of translation. Fortunately, there are fewer characters in this book and the relationship is not complicated. After sticking to the past, the first five or six chapters become smooth. The Moon and Sixpence, the author didn't actually recommend how to be better, but wrote a story for readers to think about, love and humanity.
Walking on the road full of sixpence, you will feel different satisfaction and happiness when you look up at the moon. Keep your feet on the ground, but don't care about those things on the ground, because ideals will make people fly higher and higher.
