苔丝读后感英文版
Truth is more of a stranger than fiction ------Mark Twain
“Did you say the stars were worlds,Tess?”
“Yes.”
“All like ours.”
“They seem like our apples—most of them good, a few bad.”
“Which do we live on? A good one or a bad one.”
“A bad one.”
This is one of the most beautiful dialogues of Tess and her sister, which expresses everyone’s thought at that time in England and it also makes us think a lot about ourselves.
It was Thomas Hardly that wrote the book in 1891. Up to now, it has been the most classical novel that describes the thoughts and feelings of the girls. It’s a sad book: A young girl was destroyed little by little but it was really true. The person who destroyed her was not her enemy, but the people who claimed to love her, why? For her beauty?
Tess should have been happy. Her mouth was like a flower, and her eyes were large soft , sometimes black, blue or grey, sometimes all three colors together. In the novel, the suitable person hesitated while the unsuitable person destroyed her. We can’t help shouting: “Don`t leave.” But it’s late. We feel unable, because of the society: the only criminal. I think all seemed to be in the dream until Tess’s father found out her family history. Her family was stuck in difficulty. In order to support her family,Tess started her new life: a sad dream.
The story happended one century ago. Everyone in that time took it for granted. As time passes by, it’s reappearing today .Watching the rapidly-changing world, we can’t escape from the reality. The only thing we can do is to equip ourselves with self-respect and confidence. Beautiful Tess’ escaping from sadness caused more sadness, but it wasn’t her mistakes.It was just a bad dream. For us, being clearheaded all the time can help us avoid a great number of bad things. Get a grip and don`t let anger get the best of you. “I am ready”, the last word Tess left us, has been waiting for us to wake. Compared with old days, the society now is more complicated, we seem to sleepwalk: we are dreaming.
When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not you brain. We should be our own masters and try our best to do everything perfectly by heart not by brain. Because of heart, our world becomes loving. Because of brain, there is more sadness in the world. As we all know, the heart is the most beautiful thing in the world, which requires us to develop in daily life. Broken wings, flying heart. Tess’ disturbed world led to her madness and let her lose love. For us, what we should do is to forget sadness and regard every day as a new start.
Tess’kindness and her story remind us of the women`s rights in society.Almost all the people focus their attention on this problem.Until then, it has been hot topic in public.Wherever you are, taking good care of girls is our duty .On no condition should we maltreat them.Only we can wake society by showing “ladies first”.
Tess’ struggles against difficulties failed .She lost herself. But we also admire her for her courage. At that time, she was really what she was, though failed. She had spent months regretting her experience and crying over it but suddenly decided that the past was the past. Her shame and herself would be forgotten, meanwhile the sun shines just as brightly as before. Life goes on.
Be awake, everyone! A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but not this day. Because Tess has told us: no sleepwalking, we are ready.
