篇一：Frankenstein 英文读后感
Frankenstein
The novel ”Frankenstein”, which was written by Mary Shelley, is about a creature produced by a scientist. Shelley started writing the story when she was 19. At the age of 21, this book was published. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. When I saw the cover picture of this book, I felt a little fearful, but I still looked forward to reading it.
The novel began with explorer Robert Walton traveling to the Pole. He found a man frozen in a block of ice on the way. The man, Victor Frankenstein, told the crew his life story. He had a happy childhood, and he was crazy about natural philosophy and chemistry and basically tried to play God by creating life. When he found the secret of activating dead flesh, he created a monster. Although it was all made by good materials, but it became something ugly. Then he found the monster missing. When the monster was born, he loved the world very much. He hid in the mountains and learned to use fire. But because of his appearance, he became disgusting in
everyone’s eyes. When he knew that his only master abandoned him, he was so disappointed to this world that he began to kill his master’s family one by one. Victor finally found the monster. The monster told Victor his experience, and demanded of Frankenstein a female mate who he can be with until his end, and promised to live away from society. Victor made the second monster, but quickly destroyed it. As return for him breaking the promise, the monster killed Elizabeth on the wedding night of Victor and her. From then on, he chased after the monster, and finally he was discovered by the crew on Robert’s ship. There victor ended his story, and died in front of the men. That same night, the monster entered the room where victor laid dead. Finally, the monster scampered into the ice fields.
In my opinion, the causes of this tragedy are the society and the scientist. If a person is hated, he will become evil and do something wrong. After being treated so badly and unfairly, the monster killed many people for revenge because of the cold society. I have an opinion that we’d better do what we can to be kind to other people, which is beneficial to all of us.
To sum up, what a great story!
篇二：活着英语读后感
Live
This month, I have finished book live which describes how a man lives strongly after experiencing his whole family members dead. This story is a tragedy but the major character insists on living instead of committing suicide. The main role’s name is Fu Gui whose family is very rich. He is a gambler and loses all his family property earned by his grandfather. He is caught by the army and used as labor on his way to find a doctor for his mother. After a few years, he comes back to home and is reunited with his family. After a while, his son dies because of blood donation. In his whole life, his daughter, his wife, his son-in-law and his grandson die one after another. Finally, he is the only one who survives with an almost dying cow.
After so many horrible things, Fu chooses to live and does not cry the following of his life. Maybe he has already given up any hope to live happily but he needs to live.. The truth that no one but him is in his family has not knocked him down. However, I think that the thing which is alive is his body not his heart. In the end of the story, he and his cow walk in the field and he talks to the cow and calls out all his family’s name. Eventually, he lives with his family which is in his memory.
Life will never go smoothly. People will face a lot of difficulties and setbacks in their journey. As a pessimist, life is a tragedy for me. We have to work hard and compete with others to survive without any rest. After more than ten year’s study, I finally go to college but I have to forget everything I have learned before and learn a different way to survive in the society. I feel so tired but I cannot give up because my family needs me. We are the least important things for the whole world but we are the most significant gifts for our family.We are human not animal, which dooms us to struggle for our life. We have no choice but to fight. No matter what happens, the only thing we need to remember: as long as we live, we will have hope in the future.

My Childhood
Summary: After reading this book I was shocked and moved by the little boy in the story. The writer let me feel the braveness and kindness in the book.
First, I want to introduce the writer to you. The writer is Maksim Gorky (1868~1936) He is the former Soviet Union proletarian writer, the founder of socialist realism literature. He was poor, his father died when he was 11-year-old .He and working people shared their fate, and personal experience of capitalist. Gorky is not only a great writer, but also an outstanding community activist. He had set up the Soviet Writers Association, and presided over a congress of the Soviet Union .Gorky's works began to be introduced to China since 1907. His outstanding literary works and books bands in the world-off Class common wealth.
There are four main characters in the story. They are Alexis, his mother Varia, his grandfather and his grandmother. They are totally different.
His mother is a poor but kind woman. Her little son died when he was born. Her husband was died too. Then she married with another man ,but the man always maltreats her.
His grandmother was also a kind woman. She brought up Alexis and gave courage and kindness to Alexis. But unfortunately, his husband always hit her and she died because of illness at last.
His grandfather was a stingy and fierce man. He always maltreats his wife and Alexis. He just loved his money.
The protagonist of this novel was a boy named Alexis. His father died when he was only 3 years old. He followed his mother and came to her mother’home. His grandfather is a violent man. His two uncles are also selfish. His grandfather often hit his wife and his grandson. Little Alexis was maltreated in the family and grew up gradually. However, his grandmother is a kind woman. She is the warm sun of Alexis, she tried her best to protect Alexis. His two uncles wants to get his father’money and
always fight with their father. The old couple were very disappointed with their son.
Finally, the old man decided to separate with them. He sold the old house and bought another home in the city. At that time , his mother came home and married with another man and had a little boy. His stepfather often maltreats his wife and disappeared some days later. He grandfather wanted to earn more money and sold the house. He lent the money to others in order to get more interest and rented a small room to live. He got more and more stingy and did not give any money to his wife. Alexis and his grandmother have to make money by themselves. After some days, his mother got ill and his grandmother was also unhealthy. Unfortunately, his mother died at last. He lost his dear mother. His grandfather did not want to bring him up and let him get out of the home to live in the society by himself. Then he left the home, it also means that his childhood was over.
Personal understanding:
After reading this novel, I can not calm down for a long time. He was so young and lives in such a cold family. He almost never gets the love form his parents. In fact ,the writer wanted to express himself through Alexis. Alexis was like himself. Gorky expressed his childhood through Alexis. This book makes me realize these ugly people at that time. If we with compare our childhood with Gorky’s, we would think his childhood is too pathetic.
I want to express my feeling to Alexis. He was young and he did not receive good education. He lived with the fights and quarrels of his families. He was unlucky but he still knew how to be a good person. We are so lucky to live in a warm family. But most of us are not satisfied with it and we want more. We do not know how to cherish the things we have. We often ask for everything from our parents and depend them too much. If someone bully us outside, our parents will encourage us, but for Alexis, nobody will help him and his grandfather even maltreats him. What a poor boy he is. Now, we should realize that we should depend on ourselves and cherish our families. Facing the difficulties by ourselves and try to be confident to life. There must be something that make us despairing, however we should learn form the author and look for the happiness from the pain and look for the hope from the despair. Try to be a
kind and optimistic person, never lose confidence. Our future will be bright.
The next aspect in the novel is the old man, the grandfather of Alexis. What a selfish man he is. Alexis was his grandson, he did not care about him but maltreat him. His wife born three children for him but he did not love her at all. He just love his money. His character represented many people at that time. And the author wanted to satirize these people by this character. He was an important character in this novel and an important person for Alexis. But he did not be responsible for Alexis. Alexis was so unlucky to have such a bad grandfather. And his grandmother was so unlucky to have such a violent husband.
The most kind and pitiful person was Alexis’grandmother. She was the most attractive woman in the literal history of Russia. She did not live a happy day in her whole life. She was so industrious and simple, maybe she just want a simple life. She just want her children could be happy and her husband could love her even did not maltreat her. But her simple dream did not come true. It was unfair for such a kind woman. She lived an unhappy life everyday, but she still love her grandson. She represented these industrious woman at that time. She gave her love to Alexis and hold the broken family. She was so tried everyday with the housework and the maltreatment. I sympathize her very much. She was moved by those money earned by Alexis and Alexis was the hope to her. They encouraged each other to live a bright life.
After reading this book, I think the most important thing is to be strong. Gorky was strong enough to grow up in such a bad environment and became an excellent writer. The society is developing fast but the people are becoming fragile. We must experience some difficulties in our life. After reading the last page , Alexis’s childhood was over , there is a different life waiting for him.
Good luck to him. Good luck to everyone.
