don quixote is the work of cervantes, a spanish writer in the 17th century.of course, this is a great work, because the characters described by the authorstill exist today.

man is the unity of spiritual substance. for don quixote, we will find himridiculous at the beginning. because what he did seemed so crazy. he seeshimself as a just man, a man who acts with chivalry and justice everywhere.however, the author let us see is such a character, but did not do one thingright. don quixote's starting point is good. he should follow the chivalryspirit and do what he thinks is right. he also led an honest farmer, sancho, tothe world with him. he rescues the children who are bound and fights for thosewho are in trouble. here we can't help but ask:

1. since don quixote is doing a good job, we can treat him as a good man.but why do we get tired of him when we think about the aftereffects of hiswork?

2. is there any madman like don quixote in reality?

3. in reality, what should we do when we encounter things that are unfairand do not conform to our own values?

let me first answer the first question. don quixote's spiritual quality isgood, but he does things regardless of the consequences, and only regardsreality as his fantasy tool of chivalry, which is very stupid and undesirable.blindly following the heroism of others will pay a heavy price.

let's answer the second question. these people still exist in reality. takesome famous people who dare to tell the truth. there is nothing wrong with theircourage to criticize the powerful and expose the darkness. but some people don'tview the reality of customers and criticize them, and finally they leave themarket bitterly.

the third question everyone has their own answers. but reason should be acriterion, and people should make correct decisions according to their actualsituation and the situation of the event. we should advocate heroism, but weshould base our actions on reason.

reason is the measure of emotion, reality is the reflection of spirit. in adiverse world, only by polishing your eyes can you do the right thing.

i like reading books, especially fairy tales. i've been holding little red riding hood these days. the story is vivid and interesting. i've seen it again and again. now i can recite the content of the story.

the story is about a lovely little girl named little red riding hood. once she went to visit her grandmother and was watched by a wolf. the wolf won little red riding hood's trust with sweet words, tricked little red riding hood into picking flowers in the nearby forest, and then ate little red riding hood's grandmother first and then little red riding hood. thanks to the rescue of the hunter, he saved his life and killed the wolf. later, when little red riding hood went to her grandmother's house again, she met a wolf again. this time, little red riding hood was not deceived. because of the first lesson, she and her grandmother killed the wolf with intelligence. mother said that this is called "eating a moat and gaining a wisdom", that is, after a loss, we should remember that we can't make the same mistake again.

little red riding hood was cheated because she didn't realize the cunning and ferocious nature of the wolf. now there are also some people in society who are seemingly kind but actually bad, that is, the "wolf in sheep's clothing"! therefore, when we associate with a person, we must recognize this person and don't believe others' words, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses. teachers and parents have always told us that we should learn to protect ourselves, so i won't be fooled by little red riding hood.

later, little red riding hood learned to behave well. after the first experience, she didn't commit a repeat crime the second time, and cleverly got rid of the wolf. i like this little red riding hood. in fact, i also make the same mistakes as little red riding hood. for example, when i finish my homework, i don't know to check. as a result, i will make a lot of mistakes. i was criticized by my teacher and mother. later, i remember to check carefully after i finish my homework, and there are fewer mistakes in my homework. this makes me understand that if i know i'm wrong, i should correct it in time.

i like extracurricular reading materials, especially fairy tales. during the national day, my mother bought me a copy of "grimm's fairy tales", which contains many wonderful and interesting stories, including one called "little red riding hood". my mother told me this story when i was very young, and i was particularly impressed.

the story is mainly about a lovely little girl named little red riding hood a long time ago. one day, her mother asked her to visit her sick grandmother. on the way, little red riding hood met a hateful big gray wolf. the big gray wolf tricked little red riding hood into saying, if you go and pick some flowers for grandma, grandma will like you more. little red riding hood believed the wolf's words and unknowingly went to the depths of the forest. at this time, the wolf took the opportunity to go to grandma's house, ate grandma and lay in bed pretending to be grandma. when little red riding hood came to grandma's bed with flowers, the wolf jumped out of the bed and ate little red riding hood again. at this time, a clever hunter passed by, cut open the belly of the sleeping wolf and rescued little red riding hood and grandma. little red riding hood finally knew the true face of the wolf, put a big stone into the wolf's stomach and killed it.

the plot of this story is tortuous, thrilling and magical. i read it again and again. it not only makes the plot attractive, but also makes me understand a lot of truth and gives me a lot of enlightenment. i think little red riding hood in the story is very kind and brave, but she didn't see the ferocious nature of the big gray wolf and easily believed his words, so she suffered a big loss. therefore, in life, we can't easily believe the words of strangers and the rhetoric of others. we should learn to distinguish right from wrong, good and evil, and learn to protect ourselves. also, when you do something wrong, you should know to correct it in time to prevent making bigger mistakes.

this story tells me that we should treat people sincerely, be good at thinking when we encounter things, and be a kind, witty and brave young man.

狼来了英语读后感篇8

阅读毛姆的这部世界文学著作《月亮与六便士》，每一次的感觉与收获都不相同。小说中通过主人公查理斯斯特里克兰德先生在中年时期，放弃了稳定的收入、放弃家庭和儿女，走入寻求绘画梦想而坎坷一生的故事，留给我们关于人生与理想、婚姻与爱情、生活与艺术的思考，回味无穷！

首先，我称这部小说是一部“学习鉴赏艺术手册”。

出生在70年代的我们，对艺术的了解知之甚少。每次当我站在美术馆展览的艺术品前，“彷徨”二字油然而生。虽然站的很近，但又是那么的遥远！我仅仅感觉到好看还是不好看，但对它真正的美和创造者想要表达的内容，却不知道应该作何描述和欣赏。我曾向很多人提出过诸如此类的问题，但是一直没有寻找到答案。直到在毛姆的这本小说中，看到了答案：美是一种美妙、奇异的东西，艺术家只有通过灵魂的痛苦折磨才能从宇宙的`混沌中塑造出来。在美被创造出以后，它也不是为了叫每个人都能认出来的。要想认识它，一个人必须重复艺术家经历过的一番冒险。他唱给你的是一个美的旋律，要是想在自己心里重新唱一遍就必须有知识、有敏锐的感觉和想象力。多么一针见血的语言！想要欣赏到艺术的美，我需要学习和积累的还有很多很多。

第一次翻开这本书的简介，当我看到毛姆是以法国画家高更的生平为原型，写下的这部小说时，我找出高更的油画。在没有读这本小说前，看到高更的画，感觉整个视觉是被扭曲的，所有的东西都不成比例，而强烈的颜色冲击着我的视线。他的画有一种原生态的感觉，似乎开天辟地时混沌着。我不知道为什么这样表达意境？难道真实的写实不好吗？

在一次又一次阅读这本小说时候，我才似乎朦胧的理解到高更绘画中所表达的美。精神上的追求如同大自然的美一般魔幻，稍纵即逝，但是抓住即永恒了。

其次，这部小说也堪称“爱情指导手册”。

爱情对于物质极其丰富而精神空虚的现在来讲，受到的考验更为严峻。婚姻无法为爱情保驾护航，有时候反而带来的是加速爱情的消亡。妇人往往把家庭布置的温馨、孩子教育的得体、照顾好家庭成员的饮食起居作为的首要任务，男人把事业、地位、金钱作为身份的象征。大家却都忽略了爱人之间的精神沟通。毛姆在小说中指导我们“在冲动的热情前面，这种感情是毫无防卫能力的。”

如果做的都是正确的事情，也就不会出现斯特里克兰德夫人在结婚十七年后，才知道斯特里克兰德先生要的是什么；而勃朗什施特略夫就不会被斯特里克兰德先生所抛弃。而恰恰懂得他的是爱玛。没有精美屋舍、没有锦衣玉食，有的只是茅草屋、简单食物，而查理斯斯特里克兰德先生却生活的比什么时候都幸福。请有时间问问自己，做的东西是他/她要的吗？

最后，我把这部小说定义为“理想与生活指导手册”。

在这本小说中，能让我钦佩的不是查理斯斯特里克兰德。虽然每个人选择生活的`方式是自由的，我无需去评论，只能说查理斯斯特里克兰德是一位让我敬佩其坚忍不拔、追求理想的人，但是没有办法尊重的人。而使我真正钦佩的是布吕诺船长。“我在自己的身上也深深感到激励着他的那种渴望。但是他的手段是绘画，我的却是生活。” 布吕诺船长和妻子共同用双手创造出自己的人生理想。

我们都清楚经济基础决定上层建筑，创造好的物质基础，也是想让自己和家人能幸福。只是我们在匆匆忙忙工作中，别忘记曾经小时候的我们也想成为“这个家、那个家”！别忘记自己也曾经想学习的兴趣爱好！别忘记孩子需要我们更多的陪伴、指导，别让他们的精神世界也变成一片沙漠！

理想和生活并非是一对矛盾体。他们就如同“月亮和六便士”一样，月亮挂在天上，六便士就在地下。没有六便士，又怎能触摸到月亮呢？只是在地上捡起六便士的时候，不要忘记抬头看看月亮在那里。人生匆匆几十年，上帝创造我们，就是让我们在这世间生活的丰富多彩。千里之行始于足下！祝大家活的精彩！

reading maughams work of world literature, the moon and sixpence, each time the feeling and harvest is different. through the story of mr. charles strickland, the hero of the novel, in his middle age, he gave up a stable income, gave up his family and children, and entered the troubled life of seeking a painting dream, leaving us with thoughts about life and ideals, marriage and love, life and art, and endless aftertastes!

first, i call this novel a "handbook for learning the art of appreciation."

born in the 1970s, we knew very little about art. every time when i stand in front of the art museum exhibition, the word "hesitation" arises spontaneously. although standing very close, but it is so far away! i only feel that it is beautiful or not beautiful, but i do not know how to describe and appreciate its real beauty and what the creator wants to express. i have asked this question to many people, but i have never been able to find the answer. until in maughams novel, we see the answer: beauty is a wonderful, strange thing that the artist can only shape out of the chaos of the universe through the painful torture of the soul. after beauty has been created, it is not meant to be recognized by everyone. to know it, one must repeat the adventure of the artist. it was a beautiful melody that he sang to you, and if you want to sing it again in your own mind, you must have knowledge, sensitivity and imagination. what blunt language! in order to appreciate the beauty of art, i need to learn and accumulate a lot more.

the first time i opened the introduction of this book, when i saw that maugham wrote this novel based on the life of the french painter gauguin, i found the oil paintings of gauguin. before reading this novel, seeing gauguins paintings, i felt that the whole vision was distorted, everything was out of proportion, and strong colors impacted my vision. his paintings have a kind of primitive feeling, which seems to be chaotic at the beginning of the world. i dont know why that expression? isnt real realism bad?

after reading this novel again and again, i seemed to vaguely understand the beauty expressed in gauguins paintings. spiritual pursuit is as magical as the beauty of nature, fleeting, but seized forever.

secondly, this novel can also be called "love instruction manual".

love for the material is extremely rich and the spirit is empty now, the test is more severe. marriage can not protect love, but sometimes bring is to accelerate the death of love. women often put the warmth of home decoration, the proper education of children, and taking care of the diet and daily life of family members as the first task, while men take career, status, and money as a symbol of status. everyone neglects the spiritual communication between lovers. maugham instructs us in his novel that "in front of impulsive passion, the emotion is defenceless."

if we had done all the right things, we wouldnt have had mrs. strickland only know what mr. strickland wanted after 17 years of marriage; blanche stroeve would not have been abandoned by mr. strickland. and it was emma who understood him. there were no fine houses, no luxuries, only thatched huts and simple food, and mr. charles strickland was happier than he had ever been. take the time to ask yourself, is this what he or she wants?

finally, i define this novel as "a guide to ideals and life."

it is not charles strickland i admire in this novel. although everyone is free to choose the way they live, i need not comment except to say that charles strickland is a man whose perseverance and pursuit of ideals i admire, but whom i cannot respect. and it was captain bruneau whom i really admired. "i felt in myself the same longing that inspired him. but his method is painting, mine is life." captain bruneau and his wife created their own ideal of life with their hands.

we all know that the economic base determines the superstructure, and to create a good material base, we also want to make ourselves and our families happy. but when we are in a hurry to work, dont forget that when we were young, we also wanted to be "this home, that home"! dont forget the hobbies you once wanted to learn! dont forget that children need more of our companionship and guidance, and dont let their spiritual world become a desert!

ideal and life are not a pair of contradictions. they are like the moon and sixpence. the moon is in the sky and the sixpence is in the ground. how can we touch the moon without sixpence? just when picking up sixpence on the ground, dont forget to look up and see where the moon is. life is a few decades in a hurry, and god created us to make our life in this world rich and colorful. a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! wish you all a wonderful life!
