英语读后感800字【一】
I have never been to Troy, but David Maule made me feel as if I were standing on the high wall of Troy, watching the fierce war. Thanks to this British author, who adapted the famous Homer’s poem into a lively story, I found it easier to understand this story. Though the story happened over 3000 years ago in a remote place, I was deeply fascinated by it.
The mysterious plot is one of the reasons why I loved The Story of Troy so much, yet I am more interested in the human heroes of the war.
Hector was the eldest son of king of Troy, Priam. He was not only a real hero of Trojan, but was regarded the highest moral hero in Greek classic by later historians. The war started because of the mischief of his brother, Paris, whom he didn’t appreciate. However, since Hector was the commander of the Trojan army, he was obliged to fight with all force. It was really a tragedy that such a valiant man died in the duel with another great warrior, Achilles.
It is natural to see death in a war. As a famous Chinese parable says, “A life can be as slight as a piece of feather, or as weighty as Mount Tai.” Sometimes, one’s glory walks hand in hand with one’s doom. Achilles was such a typical person. His personal charm made The Story of Troy more attractive. He was so crucial because his every appearance in a war encouraged his fellow soldiers and terrified the enemies. Actually, Achilles was half-god who was almost invincible in people’s mind. That’s why his name was memorized long after his death.
Besides the two great men, the wisdom of Odysseus also proved him to be a great hero. He didn’t want to attend the war because he was happily married and had a lovely son. However, since his country was allied to Mycenae, he had to take the command given by the king of Mycenae. I’m quite sure that the story of the wooden horse is widely known, however, few people know who thought of the brilliant idea, that’s why I admired Odysseus so much because he was the person who got the idea. Thanks to the horse, the ten-year war came to an end at last. If you want to know how the wooden horse worked, just read the book.
The ancient Greeks believed that the gods and goddesses also played important roles in the origin, process and ending of the whole story.
The story of the golden apple was such an example. When Eris, the goddess of argument and disagreement, threw out the golden apple to a wedding ceremony on Mount Olympus, a dispute happened. Hera, the queen of gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, were all involved in the argument for the apple. None of them was willing to give way, so they turned to Paris for a final judgment. Tempted by Aphrodite’s beauty and promise, Paris handed the apple to her. To keep her word, Aphrodite helped him to get Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, as his wife. That was the cause of the war.
Paris’s choice obviously annoyed the other two goddesses. So during the war, they helped the Greek alliance army while some other gods, such as Apollo and Aphrodite, guarded Troy. When Paris dueled with Helen’s former husband Menelaus, Aphrodite saved Paris when he was about to be finished off.
After the duel between those two people, there was a truce between the Greek alliance and Troy. However, both Hera and Athena were not happy to see it. Hera pursued her husband ZEUS:“ Now, will you send Athena to make the Troyjans break the peace?”(Page 22) Then with Zeus’s permission, Athena went down to start the war again and finally she brought the Greeks to success.
From the whole story, we can see that in ancient Greeks’ view, gods sometimes played a much more important role in their life. However, with the rapid development of science, we have learned that the Greek gods never existed. This is why a recent movie of Troy has not mentioned a single god. Everything happened due to men’s ambition, love, loyalty or jealousy. With those emotion and people’s effort, we human beings can accomplish wonders and be master of the world.
God are of less importance than they used to be. Nonetheless, the gods and goddesses made The Story of Troy more mysterious and marvelous.
I have learnt from the book more than the wonderful story of history, love and war. I believe that human can determine their destiny by their own. I highly recommend this book to my friends
《生命流泪的样子》读后感【二】
从古代开始人们就开始赞颂母爱的伟大，创造了多少感人肺腑的诗篇来歌颂母爱的无私奉献，吟诵多少优美热烈的歌曲来赞叹母爱为子女的英雄壮举。那些诗歌流传至今，就好像孟郊的游子吟，白居易的母别子，让我更加明白母爱，但心里依存困惑：母爱是什么?直到我读到生命流泪的样子。
生命流泪的样子这本书催人泪下。性格软弱、心地善良的女生盛心怡有一个幸福快乐的家庭，但是突飞的横祸，让一直对她给予无限关怀的母亲却得了不治之症，整个家庭陷入深渊的谷底，笼罩着悲伤的阴影，可最先站起来的却是病入膏肓的母亲，盛心怡的母亲一改往日的温柔体贴，对盛心怡异常苛刻起来，盛心怡原本是家中的小公主，在父母的宠爱下成长，十指不沾阳春水.
可现在母亲要她一手操弄全家的家务活，稍稍出错，便大声呵责，再也不复原来的慈母形象，盛心怡的母亲在后来不仅仅是要盛心怡的家务活要干得好，还每个晚上都要监督她学习，当盛心怡好不容易得到一个好成绩的时候，她的母亲只是淡淡地说，这没什么了不起的，跟以前一旦得知盛心怡得到好成绩就恨不得告诉所有人的母亲判若两人，当盛心怡因为受到同学的排挤而伤心，再也没有人把她抱住怀里告诉她不要紧，盛心怡对此感到万般委屈。
认为是母亲不在爱她，可当她无意看到母亲所写的日记是泪流不止，明白母亲对她一切的苛刻，并不是因为爱有所减弱，更不是因为身体上的痛苦需要发泄，母亲拼尽生命终点最后的燃烧，是因为对她最深最后的爱，可惜在不久后她的`母亲已离开人世，她再也没有机会对母亲说对不起，就连叫妈妈的机会也失去。
当我读完以后，泪水在眼眶里滚动，伤心的同时还有着庆幸和羞愧，庆幸我还有叫母亲的机会，庆幸我还能继续享受母亲的宠爱。为我不理解母亲和母亲吵架而羞愧、为自己拥有着母亲却不珍惜羞愧。这并不是一个虚构的故事，世界每分每秒都发生着这种事，哭声时时刻刻都存在在医院里、各个角落里。那么就请幸运的我们珍惜我们的母亲，珍惜无时无刻存在身边的母爱。
母爱是什么呢?我给不出确切的定义，我只知道出生避世之前她就急切的等待着我，在我成长中呵护着我，环绕纠缠着我，这种爱甚至是渗渗入渗出入我每一个毛孔，直至耗尽她自己，而我却很晚才懂得。
