Readings from Jane Eyre

"Do you think that just because I am poor, lowly, unattractive, and short, I have no soul or heart? No, you are wrong! I have a soul just like you - and a heart just the same!"

---- Excerpt from Jane Eyre, Chapter 23

Over the winter break, I read the book Jane Eyre, and was quite impressed!

The book is mainly about the heroine Jane Eyre. Eyre was orphaned and fostered in her aunt's house. Since she has no property and no status, she has been abused and discriminated against since her childhood. As a result, Jane Eyre has developed a strong sense of resistance to unreasonable behavior. Eyre has developed a strong personality to fight against unreasonable social customs. Afterwards, she entered the Rawood School. After graduation, Jane Eyre came to Thornfield Hall to work as a teacher. After graduation, Jane Eyre came to Thornfield Manor to work as a governess, and her self-respect, self-love and self-confidence won people's respect. In the process of getting along with her master, Mr. Rochester, both of them were attracted by each other's temperament, and they went through countless setbacks and tribulations before finally coming together.

After reading this book, I was impressed by Jane. Ai's independent and self-reliant spiritual character, the rich, clear and firm pursuit of women's independence and dignity in society, and I was also moved by Helen's wisdom, love and sincerity. Yes, although her life on earth was short, her life blossomed like a shooting star. I am also in awe of Mr. Rochester for his passionate, bold, loving, and compassionate nature. I detested Mrs. Reed, whose hatred of the poor was unforgettable to Jane Eyre as well as to the reader, and who, as Jane Eyre's aunt, heartlessly sent the ten-year-old Jane Eyre to an orphanage and was hell-bent on her dying in the plague!

Jane Eyre is like a real-life "Cinderella" struggle, Jane Eyre is strong in the face of difficulties, setbacks, she also seeks equality between men and women, the poor and the rich. As she said, "I have a soul and a heart just like you!"

Jane Eyre teaches us to be strong in the face of life's setbacks, she also taught us to be equal to the things in life as well as a variety of people, she also taught us to be strong and self-reliant in life ------

Yes, I am sometimes not able to treat people as equals; not yet able to face all kinds of frustration; not yet able to be in the study, life and fully self-reliant.

I remember one time, I couldn't do the math problem, and I didn't think seriously about it, so I let my dad help, but he said he didn't have the time, and told me to think about it myself to solve the problem. But I was lazy and clamored for my father to teach me. Dad let me look at the example problems in the book over and over again, so that I really understood them, and then let me do the homework problems, and I understood them all at once! I finally realized that we should have confidence, face difficulties and learn to be self-reliant when we encounter difficulties.

I read "Jane Eyre" several times over and over again, and shed a lot of tears, tears of sympathy, moved, but also set up to forge ahead, self-improvement and self-reliance. On the long road of life, Jane Eyre is my spiritual wealth and will encourage me to keep moving forward.

A: "Jane Eyre" is a traditional novel in contrast to the gentle and beautiful woman as the protagonist, to the romantic and moving love legend for the story of the old format, wrote a low-born, mediocre-looking woman and the unfair fate of the story of the struggle.

The main character Jane Eyre is unfortunate, she lost her parents when she was a child, and her uncle, who only loved her and adopted her, abandoned her too early. When she was first introduced to the world, she lived a miserable life of being a parasite and being driven by others, and tasted the pain of the coldness and warmth of human beings and the coldness of the world. In order to escape the harsh reality, she put her feelings on her favorite books and nature. The book enriched her emotional world, cultivated her temperament, suffering and refinement of her will, so that she has developed a tough and stubborn, soft and strong character.

In the novel, the ups and downs of Jane Eyre's love for Rochester, the male owner of Thornfield House, make Jane Eyre's personality fully embodied. When Jane Eyre finds herself falling in love with Rochester, she is well aware of the gulf that lies between them. Rochester comes from a famous family, very rich, is a gentleman of the British upper class, she is from a humble background, not a penny, just a position with the servants about the same as the governess, but she did not therefore discouraged, and presumptuous, she bravely to himself, to Rochester recognized his feelings. At the marriage ceremony, she realized that Rochester had already been married, the original wife is still on earth. In order to maintain their own dignity and marriage solemn, legitimate, pure, she disregarded Rochester's repeated pleas, endure the great pain in the heart, resolutely left Rochester, disappeared into the world without support.

In the face of money, she also has not bad performance. On acquiring her uncle's inheritance, which transformed her from abject poverty to wealth overnight, she immediately passed most of it on to her impoverished cousins. In her mind, affection is more important than money.

Jane Eyre, the deviant woman, although not beautiful, but challenging and resistant personality, making her full of charm. She is smart and studious, self-esteem and self-love, despite the humble social status, she will never be degraded. She believed that everyone was equal before God. She fought and struggled for equal status and for the preservation of her independent personality. From a very young age, she dared to rebel against those who oppressed her, even if it led to severe punishment, but not afraid. Her indomitable, dare to fight with the spirit of fate, so that those who bully her fear.

In love, she never slavishly, not to pander to please, she despised those who are full of copper, to the family origin of people, the pursuit of vanity of the upper class vulgar generation. Her mind is always clear, she has never fallen into love and material slavery, and did not fall into the whirlpool of feelings, and can not extricate themselves. Jane Eyre for the maintenance of justice and personal dignity, the indomitable struggle, not only won the respect of Rochester, but also make Jane Eyre this image has an enduring value.

Gulliver's Travels Swift, the author, was born in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, to an Englishman who had settled in Ireland. He was a surviving son and was raised by his uncle. His masterpiece, Gulliver's Travels, published in 1726, was treated as a work of children's literature, but in fact it was a satire attacking the depravity and corruption of English society at that time.

In this book, the adventures of the main character, Gulliver, a surgeon, are written, and some of them are heart-stopping. In the Land of the Little People, he becomes a behemoth, invulnerable to knives and guns, swallowing dozens of scalps in a row and still not being able to fill his stomach; in the Land of the Giants, he becomes a doll for the giants, being played with and fighting with flies and bees; later, he comes to the mysterious Land of the Flying Islands, where the people use the power of the natural magnet in the lower part of the bird and the magnets under the seabed to move as they please, which is at the same time a place where one can summon a ghost for conversation at any time and specialize in making some strange and mysterious things. This is also a bizarre country that can summon ghosts to talk to each other at any time and specializes in some inexplicable research; there is also the y embarrassing country of Hyeroga, and there are even more unbelievable stories in this world where centaurs and horses are upside down. Reading, as if I with Gulliver together into that fantasy world. I was impressed by the doll-like little people, the tall and powerful giants, the inhabitants of the Flying Island Kingdom who looked like fish, and the Hygreys and Yehudas.

I think the most special ones were the inhabitants of the Flying Island Kingdom. They have their eyes on one side, and are a people who love musical instruments, and have their respective favorite instruments on their clothing. The retainers there have to knock the ministers on the head all the time, otherwise they are always whimsical. ...... After reading this book, I admire Gulliver's wisdom, courage and adventurous spirit. He was a man like no other, and as soon as he saw the sea, he couldn't restrain his inner urge for adventure. As a doctor, he specialized in traveling around the world on ships that traveled to different parts of the world, going on adventures around the world on the pretext of seeing patients for the crew.

After reading this book, I gradually feel that these books are actually very interesting, and will not read not into, but instead after reading a few times, more and more in love with these books. Books are the ladder of progress for people, and it is everyone's dream to travel in the world of books. Open the hand of the book, head into it, one day will find the fun.
