Great,Expectations英文读后感 (远大前程 )篇一：英文读后感远大前程Reading reportGreat Expectations【England 】Charles John Huffam Dickens学院：系别：姓名：学号：Impression of the book “Great Expectations ” With so many famous masterpieces on the booklist,it is really a pretty hard job to choose one to read first. After much hesitation and deeply thought, I finally decided to borrow Great Expectations from the small library.Great Expectations is about love, family, and rejection as Pip and Miss Havisham have both been rejected in certain ways. Pip is a boy around 13 years第1页共13页old, easy to fright, and goes through his life suffering lots of sadness. He is in love with a girl named Estella and wants her to find his love, but for him being shy and not showing himself to her, it makes it very hard for him.Great Expectations was the penultimate novel pleted by the most popular novelist of Victorian England, Charles Dickens. Born in Kent, England, in 1812 to a family of modest means but great pretensions,Dickens s early life was marked by bot h humiliation and ambition. Dickens never forgot the period of financial crisis during his childhood, when followinghis father s bankruptcy, he was taken out of school and forced to work in a shoepolish warehouse. Pip meets an escaped convict, Magwitch, and gives him food, in an encounter that is to haunt both their lives.When Pip receives riches from a mysterious benefactor he snobbishly abandons his friends for London society and his “great expectations ”.I set up my mind to select it for the reason that I have read a brief第2页共13页introduction of this masterpiece in my high school English textbook before. Inaddition, a Tale of Two Cities which is also written by Charles Dickens, the outstanding and special English writer, left me a wonderful and deep impression, when I finished reading the marvelous story.Of course, Great Expectations didn t let me down, either. What s more, the whole structure of the novelis well and elaborately designed. The plot is extremely attractive and full of unexpected twists.Quite a few characters have a distinguishable personality. Moreover, those words and sentences are so beautiful and meaningful that I even took them down carefully in my notebook. By reading them no less than three times, I have learned not only some new phrases and sentences, but also a philosophy of life.Among the characters, which impressed me most are not Pip and Estella who should be regarded as the leading roles, but Joe and Magwitch. I feel awfullysorry that I was not brave enough to read the original第3页共13页edition that is as thick as a brick. Otherwise, I may appreciate Joe and Magwitch more. Yes, they are not the main characters in the novel. However, what theysaid and what they did deeply touched me. Itsinteresting, isnt it? They are quite theopposite guys. One is a totally good man withoutthe least bit of wickedness while the other is a prisoner who is believed to have mitted every evil.I believe that everyone who reads the book is tolike Joe. When he talked about his heavy drinking father who hit him a lot, he said he had a lot of love. Faced with his rude wife, he would rather seem a bit weak or foolish than standup to her and fight for himself. Knowingpeacockish Pip was ashamed of his uneducated manners, he left sadly and quietly. The world rushes on overthe strings of the lingering heart making the music ofsadness. But when he was informed of Pips illness,he immediately came to take good care of Pip. He is always contributing everything and requiring nothing. Such a man is Joe, kind, tolerant and selfless.第4页共13页"Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice," says a wise author.However, why do I appreciate Magwitch, the bad guy? You may wonder. Indeed, Magwitch did a lot of evil things when he was young. But how can you be unmoved when you get to know that the old man kept himself going just by thinking of the boy who once did him a small favor ？ He lost his only daughter and Pip had noparents, so he considered himself as the boys secondfather, making up his mind to help his dear boy became a gentleman. He did every kind of job and led a hard life in Australia. At last he made a big fortune and promised himself that all the money would go to Pip. He could have led a better life in Australia ,but Ihe chose to go back to London .with the simple intention of seeing Pip, he went back at the risk of being hanged! “whatever the fault he had from the start,remember, reader, he had a good heart.” Joe usedthese words to describe his father. But I think these words can better describe第5页共13页Magwitch. He lived with the
