汤姆索亚历险记读后感【第一篇】
I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. This is definitely a book everyone can relate to.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the Mississippi River called St. Petersburg. The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyer"s life.
Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. The book is filled with Tom"s adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of. The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.
The book is a little difficult to read at first. Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms (which I"m sure uses terms even young children already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.
汤姆索亚历险记读后感【第二篇】
The discovery of Tom Sawyer in a Chinese textbook really came as a shock for me. I ran across the report on this novel by a Grade Six boy when I was tutoring him English. The little boy had been required to write this report after the Chinese class. Young as he was, he had made several remarkable comments in his homework among which was his advocate for Chinese students to have an adventure life as Tom had. However, at the end of his book review he came to pity himself and his peers a little bit , saying that such a desire could hardly be achieved, given the fact that they have lots of homework and examinations to finish and in the meantime their parents won’t allow them such a risk.
As well as shocked, I was in a sudden choke of shame. If my memory works properly, it was not until the sophomore year that I first read this book which was unexpectedly gained as a trophy in the First Interpretation Contest. To make things worse, I skimmed and scanned this amazing novel, as a result of which I could not figure out the right sequence of the events, let alone a deep reflection on the theme. I felt that I had lagged behind.
It took me quite some time to survive this shock as well as shame. And when I eventually get over it, another thing struck my mind----why did the compliers include Tom Sawyer as a text in primary school textbook. Is it simply because the book entertains school childrens’ curiosity, since it depicts life of some black children? Or, is it an effort to equip our children with some foreign literature since it is for the moment the trend?…Questions like such haunted my mind so much that I felt it an obligation to reread the book in detail.
The answers gradually surfaced themselves as I proceed the reading and I found myself on the compiler’s side. The style of Mark Twain’s writing as well as the personal traits of its protagonist, Tom Sawyer ,has combined to create the magic of this adventure novel, and for short I will name it "magic of Tom".
Mark Twain’s unique language fascinated me in the first place. This novel features the frequent use of the conversational rule of Black English----Double negatives make a negative, which constantly reminded me that this is about black Americans and nothing else. Mark Twain was also skillful with the emloyment of contracted forms which is quite common in black oral English. These two together creates a lifelike scenarios for Tom and the reader came to perceive Tom and his deeds through his identity both as a black and a child. I think this is the very reason that Mark Twain has been elevated off other writers. He tells about truth and he tells about real life. He involves the life of black Americans into his book, and shows the world that everyone has a role to play on the stage of has. Huck has. And so do many others. No matter how many scandlous charges were brought against him for this matter, no one can deny his outstandingness and unique perception.
Tom Sawyer is of Mark Twain style in another aspect, that is the author’s attention to the interaction between him and his readers. Different from other writers, Mark Twain bore in his mind to giving some of his own opinions on the events which would lead his readers for better understanding. Thus the reader would hardly forget where has the story comes to and why certain events would occur. Readers seldom find themselves alone in the reading, but rather they have Mark for company, who would share with them some humors.
Well, it’s high time for me to elaborate about the protagonist, Tom Sawyer. This is a extremely mischievous boy. In the eyes of his village folks, he is nothing but a trouble-maker. He fights and swears and hates to go to church. Even aunt Polly, his blood-kin, would not want him around in her house. I bet many a Chinese adult would have no fondness for such a boy and if anything, try to keep him as far away as possible from their own children.
However, my readers, I would like to remind you in advance that you should not judge a boy by his appearance, especially in the case of Tom. This little boy is not that simple as he is a wisdom in his mischievousness. To understand Tom, you have got to dig deeper. A reader myself, I have noticed 4 important traits of Tom that I believe has contributed to his magic.
Firstly, Tom knows far too well how people think. Remember how Tom got Rodgers Ben paint the fence for him?
When Ben teased"Hi-yi! You’re up a stump, ain’t you?", Tom gave no answer. But rather he"surveyed his last touch with the eye of an artist, then he gave his brush another gentle sweep and surveyed the result, as before." "Tom swept his brush daintily back and forth—stepped bach to note the effect—added a touch here and there—critized the effect again."This concentratedness and enjoyfulness on the part of Tom made Ben water for the painting work. Yet he would not confer THIS PRIVERLEGE to Ben so easily. He continued to make Ben itch for it. "Aunt polly’s awful particular about this fence—right here on the street, you know—but if it was the back fence I wouldn’t mind and she wouldn’t. I reckon there ain’t one boy in athousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it the way it’s going to be." "Jim wanted do it, but she wouldn’t let him; Sid wanted to do it, and she wouldn’t let Sid. Now don’t you see how I’m fixed…"However, for Tom the right time had not come and there was still more to be expected. Ben indeed bite the hook. He offered to EXCHANGE for it. And all the children in St. Petersburg bite the hook. They got the PRIVILEGE of painting the fence at the expense of going "bankrupt" with their playthings. And Tom, the "retired" artist got his fence painted three times and lots of company and also lots of trifle playthings.
Traditionally, the aggressive male children would resort to fist to get their peers on their own agenda. But it was not the case with Tom. He knew the mind-set of the boys ---"in order to get a man or a boy convet a thing, it’s only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain." Bearing this in mind, there is no doubt that he could succeding in cheating his peers.
Not only the children but also the adult cannot survive Tom’s wisdom. Remember how our pirates returned from Jackson’s island?
" There was a rustle in the gallery, which nobody noticed; a moment later the church door creaked; the minister raised his streaming eyes… the congregation rose and stared while the three dead boys came marching up the aisle…"(Chapter 18) Scaring and somewhat astonishing, right? Why didn’t these boys return earlier since they had been grief homesick and relief their families who had been repenting for the loss of them? Perhaps many adults may condemn them as being naughty and ungrateful.
But, consider it for a moment and you will find that this is again a strategy of Tom’s. A funeral is a solemn occasion sybolizing the mortal end of a person. grief and praying has apparently been the theme for Aunt Polly and the villegers. The sudden revival of the begoners would surely makes them cherish them all the more. Under such circumastances, Tom would surely save himself scoldness and punishment and by the way, elevate him to the-apple-of-the eye position for the moment. That would sound kind of ironic for the adults since they had been fooled with by these three boys. But sorry, he is Tom and you cannot readily prepare for it.
Second, Tom’s courage for starting an adventure life. Rebelling seems to have been deeply rooted in American literature, and we can also find this quality in Tom. He hated Sunday school. He hated going to the church and being tortured by the miniser’s preaching. He hated being misunderstood by Aunt Polly… He hated his life in St. Petersburg. He had desperately wanted to break away from the old life together with its traditions, authority and being rebelling is not enough for an adventure career. It’s the courage to get started that matters. Tom has it. He dares to seperate himself from the protection (though very little) of anut Polly. He dares to confront all the risks (get lost or even get killed) of the would-be life.
Third, the boy’s ability to manage the personnel. To succeed a pirate career, Tom knew far better that he cannot make it begin with, he had to find his partner. See who he had included in this pirate group? It’s Joe Harper and Huckleberry Fin. Why did Tom chose them and nobody else? The truth is as follows. Joe had just been whipped by his mother for drinking some cream while he had never tasted. He had firmly believed that she was tired of him and wished him to go. Any children want to be loved and any denial of love would bring them suffering. Defintely, Joe wants to break away from this suffering and living a pirate life is a pretty good way out. And Huck. He was an orphen and "don’t even get enough to eat". To be a pirate or not makes no difference to Huck.
Fourth, Tom’s his knowledge about Adventure. As for where they should go for treasures, Tom gave his opinion--- "It’s hid in mighty paticular places, somethimes on islands, sometimes in rotten chests under the end of a limb of an old dead tree, just where the shadow falls at midnight, but most under the floor in haunted huses." Tom also gave his reasons why treasures could be found in the haunted houses---"They most always put in a dead man when they bury a treasure under a tree, to look out for it." While reading this part, I had been wondering whether they could succeed. The thing is that they made it because Injun Joe really had hid the treaures in the haunted house. I couldn’t give them a big round of applouse. Another case in point is his adventure with Becky in the cave. They had got lost and were in a dire need to find the way out. See what Tom had done---"He made a smoke—mark for future guidance and started upon their quest" "He took a kite line from his pocket, tied it to a projection…" How calm and clever is our hero! I think his background knowledge about adventure has, to a large extent, contributed to his success.
At this point, the compilers’ intentions seemed comletely clear to me. Tom Sawyer is introduced to China neither for fun nor for fashion only, it is an effort of our government to educate our children in a brand new style. Chinese children have long been consumed in the textbooks and they as a whole lack the spirit of exploring which is vital to their further study and career. Tom Sawyer, with its irresistable magic, serves as a guide to invoke the courage and ability to take adventure in children. Mark Twain had it right when he said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." It’s high time for Chinese parents set their children from their bay of excessive protection and allowed them freedom to strive on their own.
I had not expected that I would write so much about this novel. Yet I did. Well, Tom’s magic probably had worked.
汤姆索亚历险记读后感【第三篇】
利用寒假时间,我阅读了美国作家马克·吐温的著作《汤姆索亚历险记》,并且深有感触。
《汤姆索亚历险记》是美国大文豪马克·吐温以美国少年生活为主体写成的。故事的时代背景,是十九世纪美国密西西比河的圣彼得堡。
故事的主人公汤姆是个天真、活泼而又顽皮的典型美国少年。他和野孩子夏克,各干出了许多令人捧腹的妙事。汤姆和夏克逃到荒岛去,人们以为他们淹死了,正在教堂为他们举行丧礼,而他们却躲在教堂的钟楼上偷听;在顽皮之余,汤姆和夏克破获了一桩谋杀案,成为众人钦佩的小英雄;汤姆为了正义,毅然地挺身出来作证人,拯救那无辜的“罪犯”沫夫彼得;有一次,他把撒切尔法官的女儿贝琪撒切尔从难以走出的“迷宫”里救了出来;还有一次他和他的好朋友哈克一起寻宝,把蕴藏在地下的宝藏成功地挖了出来,汤姆运用自己的智慧把宝藏藏在了两个小口袋里运了出来……
汤姆这些顽皮的举动,虽然不能给我们做模范,但他也有值得我们学习的地方,那就是勇敢、乐观和正义。
勇敢,看起来很简单,但是,它又真的如字面上那般容易吗?不,如果真的那般,世上又怎会有如此多胆小懦弱的人呢?勇敢就是勇于敢为人先的精神或气质。敢为人先不是每个人都具有的气质,只有那些有勇气的人,有勇气敢为人先的人才能被称作是勇敢的人,而不是只会嘴上说。
再看看乐观。乐观,说白了,就是有个“美好的信念”,相信一些好的东西。一个什么都不信的人,再怎么笑都不是一个乐观的人,而这种美好,大抵指的是“真善美”。有一个乐观的心态,也是非常重要的。
正义,那更不用说,没有正义,做什么都无用,它是最重要的。虽然这个世界上所谓的正义非常多,但是在危险面前,又有几人能够伸张正义的?正是如此,汤姆的这个品质才尤为珍贵。
汤姆他不能算一个严格的好孩子,他顽皮,恶劣,但他身上的这些优点却值得我们学习一生。
汤姆索亚历险记读后感【第四篇】
《汤姆·索亚历险记》是我暑假时看的一本书,作者是美国的著名作家马克·吐温。这本书主要讲述了主人公汤姆·索亚厌恶枯燥的功课和刻板庸俗的生活,喜欢出风头、经常逃学的他,结识了几个好伙伴,在经历了一系列的惊险事件后,他渐渐成长,成为一个正义勇敢、有责任心的小男子汉的故事。
读完这本书之后,我被马克·吐温笔下的这个顽皮又讲义气的小男子汉汤姆·索亚所深深吸引住了。他虽然是一个很顽皮,又很爱出风头的熊孩子,但是经过这一系列的惊险事件之后,我看到了汤姆·索亚的成长,他从不懂事的小男孩逐渐变成一个有责任心、既正义又勇敢的男孩。马克·吐温不但把汤姆·索亚这个形象塑造得栩栩如生,汤姆的其他小伙伴同样也是机智可爱,尤其是哈克贝利·费恩,他是一个勇敢的孩子,他敢和汤姆一起去墓地,敢和汤姆去寻宝,这些都给我留下了很深的印象。不仅如此,马克·吐温还从侧面讽刺和批判了刻板的学校教育以及虚伪庸俗的浮夸社会,全书幽默风趣,情节有趣生动,让人读完还有些意犹未尽,不愧是美国著名的作家啊!
看完了这本书之后,我从汤姆·索亚的身上发现了自己小时候的影子,小时候的我们,也会幻想自己去拯救世界,去到处探险,可是随着我们逐渐成长,却觉得小时候的那些想法都很可笑,甚至羞愧,而汤姆·索亚却不同:他在逐渐成长的过程中,依旧能保持一颗童心,这也正是我们要向他好好学习的地方。
这就是我读完这本《汤姆·索亚历险记》之后的感受。
