jouney to the west is a historic chinese novel that is considered one of the 4 classics from the ming dynasty .these novels along with outlaws of the marsh, a dream in red mansion as well as three kindoms have won popular acclaim from generation to generation . jouney to the west is actually a combination of myth , parable and comedy .it is filled with imagination and have enjoyed a great and immense popularity among the people in china for over 400 years on account of its fresh and convoluted plots , distinctive and life-like characters, profound and incisive ideological content and life-hearted style .

it is based on a story about a buddhist monk and a bunch of animals with human characteristic（which are his 3 disciples ,the irrevent and capable monkey, greedy pig, and friar sand） .the animals in the story are actually of a very fairy tale type of mood and they traveled west to india to find buddhist scriptures. the animals themselves are celestial being in mortal forms and they have magical powers that protect them from the goblins and the evil spirits.

monkey was created out of a rock. he not only has the sharp wit and an unruly nature of a monkey but also extra ordinary powers that he uses to overcome demons and monsters. monkey is also gifted with intelligence and agility both mentally and physically. so he puts his talents to use by mastering his skills of wizardry to the point of where he can transform himself 72 times in a blink of an eye. he has a magic wand that can shrink smaller than a pen or expand till it is like a club of bronze and a magic cloud that can take him up to the heavens or down to the bales of the earth. full of life and filled with spirit as well as being sincere and optimistic in nature, he is not bothered by suffering and is always ready to face up to new challenges.

pig sets off his pig like clumsiness with the disposition that is the epitome of honesty and directness. he is always making a mess out of things and generating a lot of humor in the process. pig fills a role that symbolizes the desire to comfort and pleasure. he too has magical powers but it is just not the same as monkey , who makes him seem naive and clumsy by comparison .monkey just love to tease him , so pig does all his best to be a thorn in monkey’s side by telling lies about him to tang priest.

another character that appears quite less frequently is friar sand . he is quite resolute and his down-to-earth nature is readily apparent.

in jouney to the west, a total of 87 chapters are dedicated to the story of the tang priest ,xuang zang’s quest for the buddhist scriptures.in the course of their journey , they brave a series of dangers and vanquish devils and monsters. the road to the western paradise is fraught with danger , whether in mountains and forests or in villages and towns .before the monk can find the scriptures he must surmount 81 obstacles . demons of all descriptions like the ferocious red boy, the scorpion sipirt of pipa cave and spiderwomen ,etc. try to bar their way ,even to the extent of killing and eating xuangzang .some of these ghostly opponents appear openly hostile ,while others are cunningly disguised . some wield power over kingdoms or feign to officials carrying out their lawful duties .monkey plays a central role in every battle with the monsters ,not only contending with them face to face , but also helping his companions overcome the obstacles and restraints that originate within themselves. after overcoming all kinds of evil and devious enemies , with monkey as the backbone of the company ,the travelers finally reach the western paradise and accomplish their sacred mission of taking back the scriptures . in this so-called “ stories of the 81 obstacles” which symbolize the difficulties and challenges that people meet in the course of pursuing their ideals , the staunch spirit and character of the 4 companions to battle all enemies and overcome all hurdles in order to attain their goal is manifested very clearly and as much it is a vivid portrayal of the spirit and character of the chinese nation.

with supernatural beings as its protagonists ,journey to the west creates a world full of fantasy and illusion. but this fantasy world reflects various kinds of contradictions in the society of wu chen’en’s time .the characters of the demons are generalizations and sublimations of the characters of ordinary mortals .fantasy and reality reach a high level of synthesis in jouney to the west.

humor is a major characteristic of the style of jouney to the west. money is the supreme comic figure in this classical chinese novel. his humor springs from his optimistic self-confidence and his sharp ability to perceive people’s true natures ,as well as his tolerance of others’ weaknesses and his hatred of evil .the humor in this novel is also manisfested in certain plots & subplots of the nature of comedies. pig’s clumsy actions and speech are invariably hilarious ,but the laughter he elicits is tolerant but sad at the same time .this is because the weaknesses in pig’s character are not unique or accidental ,they ’re common traits of the chinese character. the author’s humor is built up on a base of profound knowledge of human society and a high degree of psychological penetration.

actually journey to the west is purification of the mind in that the entire expedition to find buddhist scriptures is actually a way of achieving spiritual goodness. so in this play three weaknesses arrogance, laziness, even ignorance, they are all weakness of human nature that requires spiritual correction. however honesty ,goodness ,and courage are all our friends in the depths of our soul. and this way the journey to the west teach us that in human life it is possible to temper ourselves to achieve ideals and goodness.

there is no doubt that pride and prejudice is well-known， the book that iswritten by jane austen has an influence on the culture.as far as i’m concerned，the ending of the fiction is wonderful， elizabeth and darcy won theirhappiness， leading a colourful life .

first of all， let’s learn about the author who is jane austen .she wasunmarried all her life. she was born in a mid-class family and was brought up ina fortable environment with harmonious surroundings， so there’s not too manyconflicts in her sight neither in her novel. in pride and prejudice she talkeddifferent ideas about love and marriage through different characters.

jane austen disclosed mid-class young ladies’ different ideas of marriageand love through describing the different ways in which the bennet girls doingwith their marriage problems，and this undoubtedly shows the writer’s idea aboutlove and marriage: it’s wrong to get married just for property， wealth andstatus while neither would it be without caring about those elements.jane austenjust attached great significance to marriage through hernovel

by telling people that marriage should be regardedcarefully.

then， let’s get close to story.the details is that mr. bennet is an englishgentleman with an estate in hertfordshire. he has five unmarried daughters butno sons while his inheritance must be inherited by a male， so mrs. bennet hasbeen keen to seek husband for her daughters with great enthusiasm.

one day the bennets had a new neighbor called bingley who was a wealthybachelor and followed be the target of mrs. bennet. at a ball bingley fell inlove with jane bennet who’s the oldest daughter of the bennets. bingley’s frienddarcy also came to the ball and struck the sights， many girls liked him while hethought all of them couldn’t suit his preference， including elizabeth. mr. darcyalways shows others a impression of pride， having found this elizabeth began tohate mr. darcy.

before long darcy fell in love with elizabeth bennett because of her lovelybehavior， while elizabeth is disgusted by his pride and has a prejudice abouthim. the official wickham was weled by the villagers， and elizabeth also took ashine to him. wickham told someting about darcy，which increased eli’s prejudiceabout mr. darcy. at

another ball mr. darcy invited elizabeth to dance with him， but eli refusedhim. eli’s elder male cousin mr. collin came to hertfordshire to inherit thebennett's property by rules， he wanted to marry with one of the bennets. havingknown that jane was already engaged with mr. bingley， he asked elizabeth tomarry him but was seriously rejected. at last he proposed to charllote who waseli’s friend.

mr. collins was good at flattering and he got the pastorate with the helpof lady catherine. once his family was invited to rosings garden by ladycatherine. elizabeth also went there with mr. collin and charllote. there shemet mr. darcy who’s lady catherine’s nephew.then mr. darcy came to the collins’and confessed his love for elizabeth， of course he was rejected impolitely.

afterwards mr. darcy wrote a letter to eli in order to remove hermisunderstandings of him. elizabeth’s uncle and aunt were also impressed by mr.darcy’s politeness. gradually eli’s prejudice of mr. darcy disappeared.eventually they became couple.

in my opinion ，on the one hand，i think elizabeth has personality ethicwhich caused her independent idea about love and marriage and in consequence sheearned a happy

life. there’re also eli’s sisters’ love stories served as contrasts to thefemale subject’s ideal marriage， such as charlotte and collin’s life: they dohad a luxury life， but there’s no real love between them and this kind ofmarriage is surely a tragedy of society.on the other hand，darcy is brave ，he diddo his best to pursuit his love.

as a matter of fact，everyone has shortings ，after reading the story ，i didrealize that we should find our advantages and disadvantages byourselves.moreover，it’s necessary for us to try our best to get over shortings.iam aware that we ought to get along with others with the same attitude.the rightthat seeking for happiness is equal for everyone.therefore，we should value thethings that we have，and cherish the chances.

pride and prejudice is my favorite novel， which impresses me for a longtime. it describes a love story mainly between elisabeth， who i like the best，and a rich and proud man， darcy.

the story began with the arrival of a crowd of rich men who rent a housenear the bennet. in a ball， elisabeth gave such a bad impression on darcy’sfirst pride that she refused darcy’s first proposal. darcy was so surprised byelisabeth’s refusal that he loved elisabeth more deeply. and elisabeth’santipathy made darcy realize his shortings. he was not angry about elisabeth’scensure， but also he changed his previous proud attitude.

during elisabeth’s travel in darcy’s manor. darcy was very nice to heruncle and aunt， different from previous proud attitude. when one of elisabeth’ssisters ran away with wickham， darcy helped elisabeth find her sister andprevent her sister from the loss of reputation， with nobody knowing that it washe who helped the bennet. so many changes in darcy eliminated elisabeth’sprejudice. at last it end with their marriage.

taking the daily life as its material， this story reflected the life andlove in a conservative你 and blocking england town. it reflected the author’sview about marriage that it is fault to marry for property， money and status andit is also foolish to take these elements into account. in fact darcy’s pridemanifested the gap between their statuses.

since his pride existed， there is no ideal marriage between elisabeth anddarcy. from the different attitudes from darcy’s two proposals， it reflected thefeminine pursuit of personality independence and right equality， which is aprogressive character from the image of elisabeth.

miss austen never attempts to describe a scene or a class of society with which she was not herself thoroughly acquainted. the conversations of ladies with ladies, or of ladies and gentlemen together, are given, but no instance occurs of a scene in which men only are present.

the uniform quality of her work is one most remarkable point to be observed in it. let a volume be opened at any place: there is the same good english, the same refined style, the same simplicity and truth. there is never any deviation into the unnatural or exaggerated; and how worthy of all love and respect is the finely disciplined genius which rejects the forcible but transient modes of stimulating interest which can so easily be employed when desired, and which knows how to trust to the never-failing principles of human nature! this very trust has sometimes been made an objection to miss austen, and she has been accused of writing dull stories about ordinary people. but her supposed ordinary people are really not such very ordinary people.

let anyone who is inclined to criticise on this score endeavor to construct one character from among the ordinary people of his own acquaintance that shall be capable of interesting any reader for ten minutes. it will then be found how great has been the discrimination of miss austen in the selection of her characters, and how skillful is her treatment in the management of them. it is true that the events are for the most part those of daily life, and the feelings are those connected with the usual joys and griefs of familiar existence; but these are the very events and feelings upon which the happiness or misery of most of us depends; and the field which embraces them, to the exclusion of the wonderful, the sentimental, and the historical, is surely large enough, as it certainly admits of the most profitable cultivation.

in the end, too, the novel of daily real life is that of which we are least apt to weary: a round of fancy balls would tire the most vigorous admirers of variety in costume, and the return to plain clothes would be hailed with greater delight than their occasional relinquishment ever gives. miss austen's personages are always in plain clothes, but no two suits are alike: all are worn with their appropriate differen as we should expect from such a life, jane austen's view of the world is genial, kindly, and, we repeat, free from anything like cynicism. it is that of a clear-sighted and somewhat satirical onlooker, loving what deserves love, and amusing herself with the foibles, the self-deceptions, the affectations of humanity. refined almost to fastidiousness, she is hard upon vulgarity; not, however, on good-natured vulgarity, such as that of mrs. jennings in "sense and sensibility," but on vulgarity like that of miss steele, in the same novel, combined at once with effrontery and with meanness of soul.
