❺ 英文小说的读后感
故事发生在1864年.苏格兰贵族格雷那万爵士是邓肯号游船的船主.他从海上的漂流物里获得一份文件,从中得知两年前在海上遇难失踪的苏格兰航海家格兰特尚在人间,于是便毅然带着船长的女儿玛丽和儿子罗伯特等人驾驶自己的游船云寻找营救.他们到达南美洲并横穿美洲大陆,竟然发现船长遇难地点其实在澳大利亚海岸.他们又经过千辛万苦到达澳大利亚后,遇见船长原来的水手艾尔顿,上了这个海盗头子的当,在穿越澳洲大陆时,被土人俘获陷入绝境.接下来险象丛生,奇遇不断,他们逃脱后决定把艾尔顿丢弃在太平洋荒凉的塔博尔岛上,不断在岛上巧遇格兰特船长,于是一起胜利回到故乡苏格兰.
《格兰特船长的儿女们》一至十四章读后感
这是一个满腹激情与神秘的故事。格里那凡爵士拾获的“天平鱼”（是一种海中极凶猛的鲨鱼）腹中那神秘的漂流瓶，是失事船只的求救信还是航海者无聊时写的打油诗？是信！是三章分别用英文，法文和德文写的求救信，这三张被海水侵蚀得残缺不全的求救信引起了航海者们极大的探索兴趣。他们分别把信上所能看清的词汇翻译了出来，然后汇集成一种语言连猜带想的把这封求救信填补全了，是的，的确是一封求救信！是格兰特船长的求救信。他在一个纬度37.11’的地方被印第安人逮捕。机智的格里那凡爵士，慈祥温柔的海伦夫人，深沉稳中的麦克那布斯少校，粗心大意却精通地理学的巴加内尔地理学家，还有格兰特船长两个坚强的儿女：坚毅刚强的格兰特小姐和勇敢的小罗伯尔，精通航线的孟格尔船长以及奥斯丁这充分值得信赖的老水手。他们乘坐着邓肯号，走向拯救格兰特船长的冒险之路……
这是一个引人入胜的故事，我很佩服凡尔纳的文学功底和丰富的知识，当你读这本小说时仿佛你也深入其中，你会为他们的一举一动感到兴奋或着急。他们是多么勇敢与乐于助人啊……一个从鲨鱼肚中发现的漂流瓶让他们走上这条艰苦的冒险之路，换位想一想，如果是你经历这样的情况呢？你会不会推辞道：“嗨，这已经是老事了，信纸都被海水给侵蚀了，说不定人都已经死了，我们还为什么要卖力去就一个生死未卜的人呢？”我承认，如果是我，我也不一定会像这群勇敢的人们，为了一个素不相识的人而放弃一切踏上这条旅程。这是一种精神，虽然这个故事是作者虚构的，但每一个故事的灵魂都是要告诉人们一些我们知道，但不一定能够办到的精神……
格兰特船长会得救吗？这群勇敢的志者会遇到危险吗？大家会不会中途放弃呢？这一切的一切都是一个未知……而我们的人生，不也是等待着一个一个未知的成功与失败的到来吗……
《格兰特船长的儿女》之读后感——
长跑·毅力·人生
暑假期间，我有幸拜读了法国著名科学幻想小说家儒勒·凡尔纳笔下的著名三部曲：《格兰特船长的儿女》、《海底两万里》、《神秘岛》中的第一部——《格兰特船长的儿女》。
这部小说描写了苏格兰籍游船“邓肯”号的船主格里那凡爵士在一个悠然的机会而到了两年前因海事遇难失踪的苏格兰航海家哈里·格兰特发出的求救漂流瓶，他请求英国政府派遣船队去寻找。可英国政府对苏格兰人一直很歧视，竟拒绝了爵士的请求。格里那凡爵士对英国的这种态度感到异常气愤，于是他依然组织了一支小型旅行队，亲自带队去完成寻找格兰特船长的任务。他带着格兰特船长的一双儿女，沿着南纬37度穿越了南美洲的高山和草原，横贯了澳大利亚和新西兰，环绕了地球一周。一路上，他们经历了无数的艰难险阻，终于在太平洋的一个荒岛上找到了格兰特船长。
小说中，最令人敬畏的是格里那凡爵士无比的毅力和他那克服困难的勇气。也正是文中所体现出的坚强的毅力震撼着读者的心灵。
“咬定青山不放松，立根原在破岩中，千磨万击还坚韧，任尔东西南北风。”清朝著名书画家郑板桥所言足以看出毅力对于成功的重要性。
小说中的故事，让我对毅力这个词有了更深刻的领会，不禁让我想起那些站在运动场上，站在领奖台上的长跑冠军，使我对他们有了百倍的敬意。也许有人会问：你为什么偏偏敬佩的是长跑冠军呢？很简单，因为在我眼中，他们不仅是长跑的冠军，长跑的强者，更适于小说中格里那凡爵士一样，都是人生竞技场上的强者！
其实，我们的人生就如长跑，从长跑中我们不但可以感悟人生，更能享受人生。
你别小看了开始起跑的那一两圈，别以为那是多么轻松、舒坦，它关系着你以后的跑速，这正如我们小时侯养成的习惯，好的，将来终生受益，坏的，必然抱憾终生。
中间的那几圈，有点吃力了。脚上像灌了铅似的，每跨越一步，都在考验一个人的毅力和意志，望望前面还有那么几圈，此时，在你后面的人渐渐追了上来，或者超越了你，这正如我们人生中所遇到的挫折，许多人不堪一击，一头躲进了“避风港”，躲进了“蜗牛壳”，不理世事，难怪有人会说：“我活得太累了……”从此，他们原谅了自己，不再拼搏，不再奋斗，可他们却殊不知，从此，生活抛弃了他们，幸福之神也不见光顾。
最难熬，最辛苦的要数人生的最后几圈，也就是冲刺的那几圈。那时，人的题宁以超越了极限，唯一支持他们得知有必胜的信念。这使得他们，非但没有松懈下来，而且，凭着一股顽强的毅力，惊人的毅力，赢得了最后的胜利，成为全国人民的骄傲！
再回过头来，看看小说中的格里那凡爵士一行人，他们为了营救格兰特船长，在茫茫无际的大海上前进，惊涛骇浪，暴风骤雨考验着他们。他们全然不顾自己的生命，与生命搏击，与毅力较量，最后终于在一个荒岛上找到了船长。
这个故事一直流传至今，值得人们颂扬。
❻ 关于读英语小说后的读后感
Jane Eyre — A Beautiful Soul（简爱）
Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:
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-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.
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-tempered, unfair magistrates worked. Fortunately for him, Oliver was proved innocent by one onlooker afterwards. With sympathy, Mr. Brownlow took the injured, poor Oliver to his own home. There Oliver lived freely and gleefully for some months as if he were Mr. Brownlow’s own son. One day, however, Mr. Brownlow asked Oliver to return some books to the bookseller and to send some money for the new books that he had already collected. The thief Oliver once stayed with kidnapped him. After that he disappeared in Mr. Brownlow’s life. Searching for a while, Mr. Brownlow had to believe the fact that he had run away with his money. But dramatically, they came across each other again a few years later. Without hesitation, Mr. Brownlow took Oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil.
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-times seven.” Why is that? Because forgiveness is our ability to remove negative thoughts and neutralize them so our energy may be spent on doing what we came here for. We cannot move forward in our future if past issues cloud our thinking. Stop put Mr. Brownlow into the list of your models. Always give people a second chance no matter what they might have done. That’s also a substantial part of loving and caring others.
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.
Pride and Prejudice （傲慢与偏见）
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 perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters.
The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant.) Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
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 observation 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 classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
❼ 英语小说的英文读后感
Call of the WILD
Buck's father was the beloved St. Bernard that belonged to Judge Miller in the pastoral hills of the Santa Clara Valley in California, and his mother was a great German Shepherd. Judge Miller owns a huge mansion complex with other dogs, horses, stables, vineyards. Buck loves this calm existence, carrying the Judge's grandchildren on his back and serving as the Judge's faithful companion, as his father had been before him. However, one summer day in 1897, the Judge's gardener unjustly sells him for a meager price, and from there the brave dog begins a long journey ending in Dyea, Alaska. Buck is sold away to a Canadian pair named Perrault and Francois in need of sled dogs. Arriving on the mainland, Buck encounters many obstacles in this cold, icy place quite unlike where he grew up. Among these obstacles is the cruelty of many humans, other vicious dogs, and the cold weather itself. With these two Canadians, Buck forges a relationship of respect, pulling them from the Yukon Territory where the Klondike Gold Rush is raging, to Alaska, since Perrault is a special messenger for the Canadian government.
After Buck sees his dog friend Curly torn to pieces by the other sled dogs, he learns that life now is a basic matter of day to day survival. As Buck becomes wiser as a sled dog, he plots his revenge against another bully dog named Spitz, eventually killing him in battle. Perrault makes Buck the new sled team leader, until the Canadians receive new orders, leaving this sled team behind. The dogs are instead put to work at Dawson City hauling mail from the miners. This is much harder work, and Buck quickly grows tired of it, as do the other dogs, since they do not get any rest at all. Finally arriving in Skaguay, Alaska after traveling for thousands of miles without any rest at all, Buck's sled team comes under new ownership yet again, this time to three inexperienced American pioneers named Charles, Hal, and a woman, Mercedes.
These people know nothing about traveling through the Northland, and they badly mistreat Buck. Fortunately, Buck is saved by John Thornton after a terrible beating from Hal because he is too tired to pull the sled any more. Hal, Charles, Mercedes, and the surviving dogs in the sled team all drown as the trail beneath them collapses suddenly. Thornton then gives Buck exactly what he has been yearning for: a long rest. Nursed back to health, Buck grows strong again as spring arrives, filled with love for this man who saved his life. He goes on many travels with John, saves him from drowning in a wild river, and eventually wins him a large sum of money. Thornton invests this award in an expedition to the north to discover a secret gold mine. Buck happily accompanies him, excited to be exploring a new frontier, and this journey ends when John Thornton locates a stream where the gold glistens "like yellow butter."
At this point, Buck becomes very restless. Thornton and his partners are busy mining the gold, so Buck ventures out to explore the forest himself, following an inner voice within him that is the "call of the wild," encouraging him to hunt prey just like his wolfish ancestors. Yet his love for John Thornton is stronger than the call of the wild, pulling him away from the forest periodically, as on one occasion when he befriends a wild wolf, running with him through the trees, and as he runs back to Thornton's camp, the wolf howls mournfully for him to stay. More time passes, and Buck decides to hunt the largest moose in a passing herd, spending days on this expedition, waiting patiently for the proper moments to attack, until finally the monstrous beast is pulled down. Buck stays for awhile, munching the carcass and resting, before he returns to the camp as he had done so many times before. This time, however, everyone in the camp, including John Thornton, has been murdered by the Yeehats. Flying into a rage, Buck ravages these men, tearing their throats and roaring with madness.
Buck wonders what to do next now that John is dead, while nevertheless gloating over the fact that he has killed men. A nearby wolf howl captures his ears, and he follows the sound to an approaching wolf pack, battling several of these creatures to prove his worth, and is accepted as one of their own. He is reunited with his old wolf friend and runs into the forest, wild once more after generations of oppression at man's hands. Buck becomes a legend, murdering hunters and Yeehats in the forest, referred to as the "Evil Spirit" and the "Ghost Dog," spawning a new breed of wolf. Overall, The Call of the Wild conjures up a lost world, filled with people and place names that were so common at the turn of the twentieth century, but which have since faded away into history, lost and forgotten. It is by reading Buck's story that one can once more remember life as it was, digging up this hidden wealth from deep caves of time.

reader response:
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
One of the things that I love most about science fiction is its ability to look at trends in contemporary society, extrapolate them to their most extreme ends, and then use those extremes to reveal a fantastic analysis of our world and the directions that we are heading down. Good science fiction is the type that makes you step back when you finish and take a closer look at our own lives. With Little Brother, Cory Doctorow has crafted just such a novel. The fact that this is a book whose intended audience is young alts makes it all the more powerful.
The story focuses on Marcus Yallow, a technically gifted teenager who, in between rounds of an alternate reality game he plays, finds new and interesting ways of harnessing technology to his needs. At the start of the book this is mostly by getting around the surveillance that his high school has in place for tracking students, ostensibly for their safety. All that changes once terrorists destroy the Bay Bridge and Marcus finds himself captive of the Department of Homeland Security. Tortured and interrogated for the small infraction of demanding a lawyer, Marcus is eventually released and sent home.
The home he returns to bares little resemblance to the one he had initially left. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is busy installing more and more RFID sensors, monitoring the internet, and surveilling everyone that falls outside their very thin definition of normal behavior. Outraged at his treatment at the hands of DHS, Marcus begins throwing monkey wrenches into the system in an attempt to point out to all the ludicrous nature of the surveillance state and its complete ineptness at tracking or catching any real terrorists.
The writing is clear and simple, particularly in the sections where Doctorow is explaining the technical ins and outs of a particular tool that Marcus is using. He offers up some of the most easily understandable descriptions of cryptography and Linux operating systems that I have come across, and does so in a way that makes what could be a dreadfully boring description very interesting and informative.
What really pushed this book over the cusp, for me, is that all of the applications that Marcus and the DHS use in their war against one another already exist. Anyone with some basic knowledge and tools could build a hidden camera locater. Anyone who wanted to could download and install the Linux build that Marcus employs throughout the book. Doctorow makes it even easier by including a Further Reading section at the end of the book where he points readers toward resources they could use to delve further into the worlds opened up in the book.
This is a book with everything. A fun and fast-paced story, realistic teenage characters, technology that piques the reader's interest, and a political message that desperately needs to be imparted to younger generations. The state of American democracy is in their hands and depends very strongly on the lessons that they receive. Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether schools are as dedicated as they should be toward creating free thinking pupils who value the intent of the Constitution over blind dedication to the flag and whoever the current occupant of the White House may be. Part of the fascination of this book is its plausibility. Doctorow takes his plot to logical extremes, and all of the digital subversion the teens participate in is based in real technology and theory.
As with The Disreputable History, I was impressed with the way the author's argument was presented. While it's clear where Doctorow and his main characters stand on the issues, he presents the arguments of the other side and allows his characters to argue smartly, even eloquently for their side. We sometimes see the opposing characters as bumbling or moronic because they are seen through Marcus' eyes, but Doctorow doesn't take any shortcuts explaining his side of the argument.
It's also a great example of another trend I've been seeing in YA lately — authors giving their intended audience a great deal of credit. These books treat their teen audience as near-alts who think and decide for themselves, which is as it should be.
Doctorow also takes this opportunity to provide readers an ecation of security systems and computer programming. In what easily could have been some of the driest portions of the novel, Doctorow is able to give the reader some insight and knowledge, which may leave you curious to pursue more information on the inventors and security methods.
On its most superficial level, it functions as a fast-paced action novel that's impossible to put down. But you don't have to scrape very far beneath its surface to appreciate its truly subversive nature. For the more technologically inclined, it offers the tools to stage a techno-revolution, and for the more politically inclined, it offers the impetus for wanting to do so.
Doctorow is something of an Internet celebrity, having revolutionized the marketing of his novels through taking advantage of on-line distribution. He's grown as a writer since his debut in "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" and with "Little Brother," while he's writing for a young alt audience, he's found a new level of mature and assured writing that makes "Little Brother" one of the more remarkable and haunting books I've read this year.
I really liked this book. I especially liked all the nuts and bolts behind the actual story line and back history of the technology used. I feel like I read a good piece of fiction and learned about computers and the history of the internet and modern computers at the same time. Highly recommend!
