Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.

小事情的演绎有时阐发大道理的。日前下班回家路上看到的一幕，便替我找到了这方面的注脚。有位农民工兄弟，骑车上街，在拐弯时不小心被汽车碰破了皮，流了点，当对方要让他去医院并给予赔偿时，他竟连连摆手，喋喋地说：怪我拐弯没打手势，自行车的刹车也不灵。他红着脸的真诚，孩子般的老实，让周围的人都啧啧称道。
人们赞美这位农民工什么？不是他的孔武有力，而是他的厚道老实。这件平常的小事，激发我举一反三，要为厚道老实叫几声好，喝几下彩，做篇小文章。
厚道是条大道，是阳关大道，是人间正道。厚道是什么？其特点就是宽厚待人，真诚为人，慈善帮人，这也是一种立身之本，处世之道，待人之策。忠厚老实的核心是真，欺骗奸滑的核心是假。真正厚道老实的人往往把名节看作重于泰山，把诺言信义看作是自身的一种形象，把忠诚和爱憎当作一种品牌，大有一种君子一言，快马一鞭的气节，具有一种宁可人负我，我决不负人的气派。
在现实生活中，厚道老实未必讨有的人喜欢。忠厚和老实是出入社交场合所穿的布衣布衫，显得突兀和背时了。倒是心眼不实，另有所图的言行，有了潜在的市场，另有一种天地。现今，我们多么需要铸定这样亘古不变的真理：少忠厚、不老实是一种人格的可悲。与忠厚形成鲜明比照的是时下一种乖巧之风和一股油滑之风，有人如簧之舌的吹吹拍拍，有人行伪使奸的涂涂抹抹，一些人将厚道廉价地拍卖了。

I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that.some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The
Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?
The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe
It seemed to be such a coincidence that the night after I finished reading The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, I was to dine in a restaurant distinctly related to the book itself. This restaurant was no other than the famous American-styled “Friday ’s. ” The reason for mentioning this restaurant is quite straightforward to all the gentlemen, ladies and children who have read the novel and enjoyed it, which is the fact that this restaurant was, most likely, named after the American Native in Robinson Crusoe, called Friday. This restaurant offers very exceptional service, for instance when the waitresses are asked to order dishes they kneel rather than stand, which, unlike the other restaurants I have been to, makes it easier for the customers to hear them speak. Moreover, Friday’s friendly services to the customers help them to make better choices when ordering dishes. I remembered when I went to Friday ’s last time; the waitress kindly described the items on the menu with precise details. It turned out that the combo I initially wanted was designed to be shared among a large group, not to be eaten by one person. I think this restaurant shows many commendable features similar to that of Friday. Friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality. I think it was this personality that affected Crusoe and made him say that he loved Friday when Crusoe didn ’t express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife. “When he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show it to let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” This was what Friday did after Crusoe had rescued him from the two savages chasing him. It was easy for me to see why Crusoe had loved Friday. After sometime, Crusoe and Friday were to rescue Friday’s father. When Friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “It would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how Friday kissed him, embraced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced,
sung; and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature. It was a good while before I could make him speak to me.” This is my favourite chapter in the whole book. It is hard to see why Friday is an ex-savage when he can have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz. Crusoe himself. “When he (Friday went to him (Friday’s father, he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father’s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it; then he took his arms and ankles, which were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” Furthermore, Friday’s expression of loyalty in asking Crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything Crusoe ever says or does.
Crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as shown by his account of leaving his family—he never shows any emotions. After a moving lecture from Robinson’s father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition. Careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left in the family. When he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them; he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nearly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead. He had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction. Moreover, after his wife died, Robinson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twenty-eight years. It was on this trip which Robinson Crusoe revisited “His Island ” as he called it. I feel that Robinson ’s indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.
Before had clearly shown the contrast between Crusoe’s and Friday’s personalities, as when Friday, in his joyful reunion with his father, displayed far more emotion toward his family members than Crusoe, whereas Crusoe never mentions missing his family or dreams about the happiness of seeing them again. I think Defore is very successful in introducing Friday as part of the novel, it makes the whole novel seem much more complete and gripping to the reader, as well as proving that Defoe’s ideology of racism is civilized unlike many other Europeans at that time; natives and savages are not worse than others but can perhaps even be more modern and civilized. Those are the reasons of why I like The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe and Friday.

每一天，你和我都伸手做出一道又一道生活中的选择题。或许，有的选项背后掩着的就是高峰，有的藏着的就是深海；有的代表了希望和未来，有的呢，你在决定下来的那一刻便已经离开。
在当今社会，一波一波的年轻人急着抢着给自己扣上了“选择恐惧症”的大帽子。不但没有任何医生开的证明，就连一个百分之八十都不可信的网络自测表测出的结果都没有，这样的他们偏偏能挺着胸脯向全世界宣告“我就是患有选择恐惧症”，再在以后有谁让自己做某个选择的时候嗔怪地来上一句“你难道不知道我有选择恐惧症的嘛。”那般底气，就好似他们随时可以掏出医生的诊断书拍在桌上一样，怼得人家哑口无言。实际上，从这群年轻人的身上压根找不到什么症，他们有的只是对选择深深的无边的灰黑色的恐惧，就连选出自己的一顿晚餐该吃什么都想不出来，真真令人啼笑皆非。
柏拉图曾说过：“人生最遗憾的，莫过于，轻易地放弃了不该放弃的，固执地坚持了不该坚持的。”走到每个岔路口，我们走上的大部分道路可能云淡风轻，但总有那么一两条道路会被全全封。你我迈开腿时都是会痛的，心里感到泣般的痛楚，就是怕坚持的是不该坚持的，成了一生的遗憾，是吗？既然如此，我们最好就是等在岔路口永远畏葸不前，是吗？
我们究竟为什么，为什么要面对选择？
因为我们想要自己一步一步踏开自己人生的路。
选择不是非要面对的洪水猛兽，而是我们手中握紧的权利。每每为自己选择，无论大还是小，我们都能经历一回美丽的'自我重塑。前方是什么路，谁也看不到，但正是这样，我们便更要迈开最坚定的步子往前走。尽管选完了可能会后悔一阵子，但那又怎样，我不怕。若是选到了海洋，那我就看海的广阔；若是选到了高峰，那我便去手摘星辰。能选择，就代表我听得到我心里的声音。
我在生活中几乎每一天都面临着各种大大小小的选择，尤其去年步入了中学，自己能做主的事儿突然变多，生活中的选择题也跟着成倍地增加。记得当时刚开学不久，我同时被两个学校的社团录取了，其中的一个社团是我日思夜想做梦都想上的，当时拼命去面试才被选上；而另一个社团不过是我面试前一天才想好要去试试的，不过这个社团报名的人极多，招的人却很少，被招上真是难之又难。就是不巧，学校规定每个同学只能报名一个社团。我想选择社团这道双选题大概是我近来面对的最苦涩的一道。在旁人看来，被两个社团同时选上意味着自在，想上哪个便上哪个，可是对于当时的我来说，一次选择，就代表着要痛着放下其它。我没有为自己做选择的勇气。我问了身边所有人：家长，同学，朋友……但没有真正听取任何一个人的意见。报名截止的那个晚上，我抱着电脑痛哭了一场。
后来我还是选择了第一个我真正想去的社团，只是因为我流泪时，发现了我内心真正的，那么微弱的呼喊。
我们做选择，怕的是“选错”，可生活不是数学题，谁会规定哪个是对哪个是错？假如我选了第二个社团，生活中大概会多一些鲜花和掌声，可我选了第一个社团，心里有快乐，大概也是一种赏鲜花般的享受。我认为我从未选错，我就不会选错。今天的我已经不再是刚刚开学的我了，因为我明白不管面前的选择是什么怎么样，我们每人的内心都能悄然发出专属于自己的声音，只要能听从自己的心，便没什么好怕。
能够选择，面对选择，乐于选择。我想和身边所有“选择恐惧症的患者”们说：“我的朋友们，让我们一起勇敢起来，做出自己的选择吧！逃避选择的你又怎会知道，你能爱着高峰，也能爱着深海。”
