Ba Jin's Home, Hugo's Notre Dame, Dickens' david copperfield, these three stories, after reading about 800 words.

Don't look outside,

Girl, it depends on the heart.

Handsome young people often have ugly hearts,

There are many hearts that can't keep love.

Girl, pines and cypresses are not beautiful,

Not as tall as poplars,

But winter is still thriving.

Alas! What's the use of saying this?

Things that are not beautiful should not exist,

Beauty only loves beauty,

Spring ignores winter.

Beauty is supreme,

Beauty can do anything,

Beauty is the only thing that exists completely.

It was a song that came from the eaves of the bell tower of Notre Dame de Paris. It was sad and strange, and there was an unspeakable helplessness and sadness. Yes, this is the sigh of quasimodo, the camel, the blind, the lame and the deaf. The bell ringer who silently guards his sweetheart's door speaks as if he had hypnotized her for several nights.

The story took place in medieval Paris. This is a contest between justice and evil, beauty and ugliness, purity and filth. This is a bizarre and bloody love tragedy, and it is also a history book from King Louis Xi of France to beggars and untouchables.

She, Esmeralda, a beautiful woman of 16 years old who can sing and dance, was stolen from her home by gypsies and grew up among vagrants, but was not recognized and accepted by the hierarchical upper class at that time. She was robbed in the middle of the night and fell in love at first sight when she was rescued by the handsome hero of the Royal Guard Captain Phobos. He was also captured by her beauty. Her loyalty to this illusory love eventually hurt her too much. She not only has a perfect figure, but also has a noble, pure and kind heart. At the critical moment when the poet Granguwa was about to be hanged by the beggar kingdom, she married the poet without hesitation and saved the poet. When Vice Bishop Claude tried to force Esmeralda to accept his love by various despicable means, Esmeralda would rather die than surrender. When Claude gave her a choice in front of the gallows for the last time, although she knew that her lover Phobos was still alive and had found her biological mother who had been separated for fifteen years, she wanted to live very much, but in the face of Claude's courtship, her answer was: "The gallows hated me far less than you."

He, quasimodo, an ugly man who looks camel, blind, lame and deaf, was abandoned by his relatives and then by the whole society, but he has a beautiful and pure heart. He guarded Esmeralda with pure love and tried to keep her away from all harm. But in the face of powerful social prejudice, evil forces and fate, quasimodo, a tough guy, finally got a blow on his head and walked into another world with Esmeralda's cold body in his arms. Quasimodo first appeared before Esmeralda as a persecutor, and he was ordered to rob Esmeralda in the middle of the night. When quasimodo was arrested by the Royal Guard for failing to rob and tied to a shame post in the scorching sun, he longed for onlookers to give him some water to drink, but no one paid attention. Seeing that he was about to faint, what he didn't expect was that it was Esmeralda who bravely brought him water to drink in full view. Esmeralda's good for evil deeply shocked quasimodo, whose appearance was deformed and ugly, because his heart also had the same strong love and feelings as others. Later, he risked his life to save Esmeralda from the scaffold. However, his ugly and deformed appearance has always been a gap between him and Esmeralda that can never be bridged. In the end, I can only cross this gap through death, and I think that may be the only way.

Claude, the vice bishop of Notre Dame, also fell in love with the beautiful Esmeralda, but his love with quasimodo was quite different. Claude wore the sacred aura of clergy, but his heart was unable to extricate himself because of conflict, until his soul was twisted and full of evil desire for destruction, which eventually destroyed Esmeralda and himself. The other two characters, one is Captain Forbis, who is gorgeous in appearance but rotten in heart. He is handsome and elegant in appearance, but vulgar and dirty in his bones. Drinking and swearing is his hobby, and flirting with women is his "pride" and "confidence" specialty; The other person is a down-and-out poet, Glen Guwa, a guy who can give up love, dignity and responsibility to survive.

Hugo expressed his sympathy for Claude, the vice bishop of Notre Dame who was struggling under the pressure of the church, mocked Captain Forbis, despised Granguwa, a poor poet who dragged out an ignoble existence, hated Louis Xi, who was hypocritical, cunning and cruel, and admired and regretted quasimodo and Esmeralda, two tragic figures with different appearances but pure hearts. Let's re-examine what is beautiful and what is ugly. Under the ugly appearance, there may be a fiery and pure heart hidden; Under the handsome and beautiful face, there may be a dirty, shameful, despicable and twisted heart buried deep. Therefore, people don't have to give up on themselves for their inherent shortcomings, let alone pursue the beauty of appearance too much. Everyone should have a heart that is kind to others, selfless dedication, cherishing life, loving life and full of responsibility. At the same time, we should learn to cherish the feelings between people: affection, friendship, love … respect everyone around us, and don't wait for these beautiful highlights of life to pass away before regretting.

Thinking about home

Ba Jin's masterpiece is Riptide Trilogy, including Home, Spring and Autumn. The content is to write about the collapse of feudal patriarchal clan system and the agitation of revolutionary thoughts among the younger generation through the decline and differentiation of a large family. The author exposed the feudal forces with great enthusiasm and praised the awakening, struggle and break of the family of young intellectuals. The author who is familiar with the subject matter is deeply touched, which makes this work have a strong appeal. The torrent trilogy, especially Home, has played a great role in educating young people against feudalism. The work is based on the May 4th wave which spread to Chengdu, Sichuan, which is closed inland, and truly describes the decline and fall history of Gaos, a representative feudal family. In the writer's own words, what he "wants to show readers is to describe a picture of the past ten years". On the surface, the high giants are famous for their poems and rituals, but behind this scene, they are infighting, infighting, decadent, filthy and shameless. Those defenders, represented by Mr. Gao and Ke Ming, tried their best to maintain the moral codes and family precepts and suppress all new things, even at the expense of young people, in order to maintain this family, which was the pillar of the feudal system and was facing collapse. This has deepened the contradiction between the old and the new, between the ruling forces and the oppressed, and caused great pain to young people. In Home, there are Mei's melancholy death, Jui-chueh's tragic fate, Ming-feng's tragedy of throwing herself into the lake and her forced marriage. All these young women's misfortunes are the result of feudal system, ethics and superstition persecution. Through these descriptions, the author expressed deep sympathy and indignation and issued a call for "I accuse" to the dying system. However, the contradiction between the old and the new in this family has already occurred in the May 4th Movement. The May 4th wave aroused the enthusiasm and ideals of the younger generation and deepened their hatred of the old system and old life. Chueh-hui, an important figure in Home, is the representative of this new democratic force which is impacted by the new ideological trend. He resolutely opposed the "philosophy of bowing down" and "non-resistance" of the eldest brother Chueh-hsin, with simple beliefs and "fearless and uncompromising" to the old forces. He is really "naive" and can't make a scientific analysis of everything around him. He even thinks that "everything in this ancient family is simply a complicated knot, and his frank and enthusiastic heart can't untie it." But based on the spirit of doubting and denying everything during the May 4th Movement, he knew that this family was "hopeless". He doesn't want to place any hope on his "home", but he is keen on making new friends, discussing social issues, editing publications, starting newspapers and other social activities, and "exaggerating the responsibility of improving society and liberating the people." Even when he was madly in love with Ming-feng, he "really forgot Ming-feng" outside, and only when he returned to his desert-like lonely home could he "worry about missing Ming-feng". Finally, Chueh-hui left home without any scruples. Through Chueh-hui, the author wrote about the agitation of revolutionary thoughts among young people and the growth of new forces contained in old families, and also criticized Chueh-hsin's "bowing down" and other people's cowardly character through Chueh-hui. In "Spring" and "Autumn", we can see the great influence of Chueh-hui's actions on this family from the growth of Shuying and Shu Hua. This character really inspired readers and brought "fresh air". Chueh-hui went to Shanghai, longing for "unknown new activities" there, "the masses and the new culture movement"; The works do not specifically describe Chueh-hui's road after leaving home, but rebellion against feudal families is often the starting point for intellectuals to embark on the road of democratic revolution. According to the logical development of Chueh-hui's personality, under the specific historical conditions in China, he may find the mainstream and leading force of the people's revolution through long-term exploration. Although the torrent trilogy did not fully show the environmental atmosphere and the spirit of the times, people could not really feel the connection between that family and various social relations at that time, but the work was written about the influence of the May Fourth Revolution, the harassment of the people by the warlords in Sichuan, the struggle between students petitioning the military and political supervision bureau and the striking class, and the landlord sent people to the countryside to collect rent. All these show that this is an era when the people's revolutionary forces are struggling and growing, and this background provides a realistic basis for Chueh-hui's rebellious character and way out. Chueh-hsin and Chueh-min are the figures throughout the torrent trilogy, especially Chueh-hsin, which is the main part of the layout of the whole work. This is a young man who lost his rebellious character because of the old system. Although there is a boundary between right and wrong in his heart, he also knows that "the whole ethics, the whole tradition and the whole superstition" have taken away his happiness and future, and his favorite Mei and Jui-chueh, but he is unable to struggle and can only cry and endure mental pain. He was a victim of the old ethical code system, but at the same time he unconsciously played the role of defender. The author criticized him a little (through Chueh-hui, repeatedly criticized his cowardice), but more was sympathy and forgiveness. If readers regard him as a victim, they can only feel a little sorry; This kind of emotion is often denied by the characters' own actions. Chueh-min's personality is calm and rigid; The author arranged a relatively smooth encounter for him, which enabled him to win love and overcome his struggle to escape marriage. He is also changing and developing, but all along the same road. He is confident that he can control his own destiny. In "Spring" and "Autumn", he has been at the forefront of the struggle, arguing face to face with those elders without compromise, and defending the growth of Shuying and Shuhua. In a letter to Chueh-hui, he said, "I am too radical now. You are the first radical in our family, and I am the second radical. I want to do a lot of things that make them hate, and I want to create a third' radical'. " The third is Shu Ying. Shuying's growth and departure is the main thread running through Spring, and Chueh-min's activities prepared the conditions for the development of this matter. Among young women, in addition to some of the victims mentioned above, the author also wrote about Qin and Xu Qianru in Home, which is the bud of positive power, although Xu Qianru is only a shadow, and Qin is still in the process of awakening. In "Spring", this positive force has grown, not only the character Qin has been further developed, but also Shu Ying has appeared. Her departure from Chueh-hui caused a wave in her heart, and she deeply felt the immediate crisis from what happened to Chueh-hui. With the encouragement of Chueh-min, Qin and others, she gradually strengthened, finally embarked on the road of Chueh-hui and understood the meaning of the sentence "Spring is ours". What happened in spring and autumn is more contradictory than what happened at home. With the hypocrisy and depravity of elders as the background, Spring mainly describes the activities of some young men and women with pure hearts, which provides conditions for the growth and awakening of Shuying's character. The plot is slower than Home, but the spirit is consistent. Shu Hua's activities are mainly in autumn. This is a simple and cheerful girl. Her frank and happy voice often relieves the melancholy mood in some scenes and brings some clear atmosphere to her works. Finally, she grew up, had a "desire to fight" and had a face-to-face argument with the old forces.

Home really benefits me a lot.

The moral power of purifying the soul

-thoughts on reading david copperfield.

Charles Dickens once said, "Of all my works, I like this one best. Like many parents, I have a favorite in my heart. His name is david copperfield. "

Dickens' own childhood was difficult, and so was the life of young David. David's father died before he was born, and his mother remarried soon. Stepfather is ruthless, so is sister. When David was growing up, he met many unfriendly people-cruel principals, cunning friends and malicious Heep. However, there are also many kind people: lovely and kind nanny Peggotty, inarticulate but sincere and simple Bacchus, serious but bodhisattva-hearted aunt, unhappy Micawber couple, quiet and gentle Agnes, intelligent bosom friend, the cutest girl Dora, innocent, is David's "little wife".

I spy on the kind and innocent David with children's eyes and recall my childhood memories. I can't forget David naively repeating "Barkis willing". I can't help but go through the thick clouds as history, through the world that seems to be very close and far away from me. "Of course, I can give you a message saying that Barkis is willing, but you can tell her yourself!" But when he wrote this letter, he attached it one by one: he said it was important-Barkis was willing to do it.

Sunset let the hillside faint, natural and fresh, as if to filter out all the darkness and decay. In a society full of copper smell, you can still see a clean soul. This is also a classic of the novel, which has the moral power to purify the soul.

I can't forget Amos's return to Bing's boat. A ship is about to sink in the storm. Ham the sailor did not listen to David's advice and tried his best to save people in the sea. When he was about to touch the boat, he recognized that Steerforth had tricked his fiancee into surviving on the boat, but the kind Ham tried his best to save him ashore. At this time, a huge green wave came head-on like a mountain, which ruined all hopes, and the two of them left forever. Ham's mind can accept hundreds of rivers, which is wider than the ocean. It is an instinct of life and a natural habit. His "truth" is like breathing, a natural exhalation between breathing and inhalation, without thinking or thinking. In front of him, dude looks so ugly, selfish and insignificant.

This "truth" is ubiquitous in our lives, but it is often ignored by us.

Whether familiar or unfamiliar, there will always be "truth" to warm our hearts. Support and care of relatives; There is a tacit understanding and cooperation between friends; The meticulous care and help of passers-by

This "truth" is a beacon of human progress, bringing warmth to more people in need, letting the fire of warmth spread all over the world and igniting every corner of this society.

Lin Qingxuan once said: "Snow, cold and clear, pure and beautiful, is like our heart to some extent." And "truth" is the simplest and brightest background color in our hearts.

We have never forgotten the "truth" of sailor Hamm, and his spirit of "all for me and all for me" will last forever. Let's breathe the nutrients of life to our heart's content. Even if the wind and sand attack, our world is still warm as spring.

Although I didn't write it myself, I hope it will help you! O(∩_∩)O~
