eading report of sons and lovers during my extracurricular time, i started reading sons and lovers, which was written by david herbert lawrence. he was an english novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as d. h. lawrence. he was born on september 11, 1885 to a miner and his wife in the small village of eastwood near nottingham, england. arthur and lydia lawrence, his parents, had a troublesome marriage from the start: his father, a miner, was content to stay on the mining grounds while his mother yearned to leave. so his childhood was dominated by poverty and friction between his parents. he was educated at nottingham high school, and won a scholarship. he worked as a clerk in a surgical appliance factory, and then for four years as a pupil-teacher. he was died in vence, france on march 2, 1930. lawrence is now valued by many as a visionary thinker and significant representative of modernism in english literature. there is a background before the author wrote this book. lawrence lived at a time when the industrial revolution was taking on the whole world, especially in great britain, which changed from agricultural society towards industrial society. and it brought all changes in national and personal lives. lawrence?s novel sons and lovers deals with lawrence?s personal experiences in the working-class environment in nottinghamshire.

sons and lovers is the third published novel of d. h. lawrence, taken by many to be his earliest masterpiece. it tells the story of paul morel, a young man and a budding artist. this autobiographical novel is a brilliant evocation of life in a working class mining community. this novel is about the life of movels. mr.morel, mrs.moel, paul, miriam and clara are the main characters in this novel. the author develops the story by portraying the relationships between these characters. but the end of the relationship is a tragedy. i divided this book into two parts. now i will introduce the first part of this book.

the refined daughter of a good old burgher family, gertrude coppard meets a rough-hewn miner at a christmas dance and falls into a whirlwind romance. but soon after her marriage to walter morel, she realizes the difficulties of living off his meager salary in a rented house. the couple fight and drift apart and walter retreats to the pub after work each day. gradually, mrs.morel?s

affections shift to her sons, beginning with the oldest, william. as a boy, william is so attached to his mother that he doesn?t enjoy the fair without her. as he grows older, he defends her against his father?s occasional violence. eventually, he leaves home for a job in london, where he begins to rise up into the middle class. he is engaged, but he detests the girl?s superficiality. he dies, and mrs. morel is heartbroken, but when william catches pneumonia, she rediscovers her love for her second son. both repulsed by and drawn to his mother, paul is afraid to leave her but wants to go out on his own, and needs to experience love. gradually, he falls into a relation ship with miriam, a farm girl who attends his church. the two take long walks and have intellectual conversations about books, but resists in, in part because his mother looks down on her.

i want to introduce the three characters of this book: mr. morel, mrs morel and miriam leviers. mr. morel is paul's rough, sensual, hard-drinking father. in many ways, he is his wife's opposite. mr. morel is from a lower-class mining family. he speaks the local dialect in contrast to his wife's refined english. he loves to drink and dance practices that mrs. morel, a strict congregationalist, considers sinful. mrs morel is one of the most formidable mothers in all of western literature. to the narrator, and perhaps to paul morel, she is both a giving, selfless nurturer of her children and a possessive tyrant. miriam leviers, paul's teenage friend and sweetheart, was modeled after lawrence's own young love, miriam is paul's devoted helpmate in his artistic and spiritual quests. although beautiful, she takes no pleasure in her physical attributes. her whole life is geared towards heaven and a mystical sense of nature.

this is the most autobiographical of all lawrence?s works as the author himself had a similar relationship with his own mother. the use of this oedipal theme is one of a number of freudian concepts he used throughout his books. like many of his works, sons and lovers was criticized when first published for obscenity and one publisher called it the dirtiest book he had ever read, but compared to his later works it is quite constrained.

there are three females that paul had loved. the first person is his mother. paul is afraid to leave her but wants to go out on his own, and experience love. then, it is miriam, whom is a farm girl. they have intellectual conversations about books in the nature. at last, paul meets clara dawes, who has separated

from her husband, paul get physical satisfaction from her.

i want to show my opinions about the love between paul and miriam.miriam leviers, paul's teenage friend and sweetheart, was modeled after lawrence's own young love. she is romantic in her soul but timid and sensitive in appearance. miriam is paul's devoted helpmate in his artistic and spiritual quests. although beautiful, she takes no pleasure in her physical attributes. her whole life is geared towards heaven and a mystical sense of nature. miriam is paul?s first lover. miriam loves paul, but she can?t admit to and has no courage to love. when she loves paul, she only wants to dominate his mind, then to catch paul?s whole soul. but paul knows that miriam only loves his soul and wants to posses him. in this book, there is a dialogue between them which paul rejected miriam. miriam said: you had said that we belong to each other. i was young. i did belong to my mother and now she is died. i don?t want to live again with you, not even with you. i?m sure i?ll never find one as good as you, but perhaps i understand at last what the mean to live, said paul. for paul, mother?s love makes him unhappy, while miriam seems like his mother as both want to control his soul. of course, he will against that form of love as he thinks that?s not love and wants to escape from this spiritual love. i think the love was failed because of miriam?s possession.

then, i?d like to compare lawrence as a combination of both william and paul. as william, he was a man who grew in such family and had a strong will to break the shackles of his class. william was gifted, he was successful in both his academy work and interpersonal relational, and he escaped from his lamentable family to london. the mentality of william just like lawrence purred his feel to this character subconsciously: the disgust of his father, admiration of mother, struggle to free himself from the mournful family. all these characteristics are based on author himself experience. of course, these stuffs also connected with the society at that time, which class you came from can be the first to affect who you were or how you were, in order to change your social status, the post important was to change the class you belonged to. all these ideology created both lawrence and his william.

at the moment, it?s clear that paul?s oedipus complex and reasons. actually paul has not become a normal adult by getting over some problems like

other children. that is not only determined by his mother?s abnormal maternity. the reasons are in many ways, some comes from the parents; some comes from his sisters and brothers, some even from the society, the mechanical civilization, which leads to the family tragedy and distortion of personality.

learn to love and care here i am sitting on a couch alone thinking about what i have just finished reading with tears of sadness filling my eyes and fire of indignation filling my heart which revived my exhausted soul that has already been covered by the cruelty and the selfishness of the secular world for a long time. it is truly what i felt after reading oliver twist written by the prominent british author charles dickens. the resonance between me and the book makes me feel not only the kindness and the wickedness of all the characters in the novel but what this aloof society lacks and what i lack deep inside. these supreme resources i’m talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals oil that we usually mention. they’re abstract like feelings and some kinds of spiritual stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from one another —— love and care. those charitable figures whom dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life. they showed love and care to others just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth which was carved into my heart deeply. mr. brownlow is one such person. the other day he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by two skilled teenage thieves artful dodger and charley bates and thought naturally it was oliver who was an orphan and forced to live with a gang of thieves that had done it because he was the only one near by after the theft had taken place. being wrathful he caught oliver and sent him to the police station where the ill-tempered unfair magistrates worked. fortunately for him oliver was proved innocent by one onlooker afterwards. with sympathy mr. brownlow took the injured poor oliver to his own home. there oliver lived freely and gleefully for some months as if he were mr. brownlow’s own son. one day however mr. brownlow asked oliver to return some books to the bookseller and to send some money for the new books that he had already collected. the thief oliver once stayed with kidnapped him. after that he disappeared in mr. brownlow’s life. searching for a while mr. brownlow had to believe the fact that he had run away with his money. but dramatically they came across each other again a few years later. without hesitation mr. brownlow took oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil. perhaps most of us would feel confused about mr. brownlow’s reaction. but as a matter of fact this is just the lesson we should learn from him. jesus said in the bible. “forgive not seven times but seventy-times seven.” why is that? because forgiveness is our ability to remove negative thoughts and neutralize them so our energy may be spent on doing what we came here for. we cannot move forward in our future if past issues cloud our thinking. stop put mr. brownlow into the list of your models. always give people a second chance no matter what they might have done. that’s also a substantial part of loving and caring others.

once when i was six years old, i saw a magnificent picture in a book,called true stories from nature, about the primeval forest. it was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing an animal. here is a copy of the drawing.

in the book it said:" boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. after that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion."

i pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. and after some work with a colored pencil i succeeded in making my first drowing,my drawing number one. it looked like this:

i showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them.

but they answered:"frighten? why should any one be frightened by a hat?"

my drawing was not a picture of a hat. it was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. but since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, i made another drawing: i drew the inside of the boa constrictor,so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. they always need to have things explained. my drawing number two looked like this:

the grown-ups response,this time, was to adviseme to lay aside my drawing of boa constrictors,whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar. that is why, at the age of six, i gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. i had been disheartened by the failure of my drawing number one and my drawing number two. grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it si tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

so then i chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes.

i have flown a little over all parts of the world:and it is ture that geography has been very useful to me. at a glance i can distinguish china from arizona. if one gets lost in the night,such knowledge is valuable.

title: the little prince.author: antoine de st-exupery.

main characters: the little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.

despite i’ve not in my childhood yet, i still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. the tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. this summer i’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. it’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the french author, antoine de st-exupery, the little prince.

as many other fairy-tales, the outline of the little prince is not very complex. “i”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the sahara. in this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the asteroid b612. the little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. in that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.

on his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. from these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the sahara, on the earth.

traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. at that time a fox appears. the fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”, becomes his new friend. at the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. from that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his.

gulliver’s tra一vel is a fairy tale written by jonathan swift. it’s a very interesting story full of imagination. besides, the description is vivid and appealing, when i read it i feel like i’m tra一veling with the hero in the story.

jonathan swift was born in ireland, but his parents are english. he has written many books such as a tale of a tub and the battle of books, respectively criticizes and attacks the corruption of religion and prejudice of scholar authority. his drapier’s letters reveals the attempt of england to destroy the economy of ireland. for this reason, english government awarded 300pounds for catching swift. however, nobody in ireland betrayed him. swift died in 1745, and he said in his testament that he would give all his property to the charity.

gulliver’s tra一vels tells a story of captain gulliver’s unique experience. gulliver has a strong desire of tra一veling around the world since he grew up. however, when he became a captain, he tra一vels not between different countries but between strange places we never imagine.

the first time, his boat encountered a storm and he swan to the shore. when he woke up he found himself surrounded by small men later he realized he had come to the country “liliput”， which was a country of small men. in the country, the people treated him very friendly, they ga一ve him food and drink and wine. he? lived happily and he was nice to them as well. later, the king asked him to help fight the other country blefuscu for a very amusing reason: people there break their eggs at the big end while people in liliput break eggs on the small end. gulliver helped the king win the battle and soon after that he went home.

the second time, he set sail and met a fierce storm again. this time he found a land which was a country named broadingnag. it was a country of giants. you can guess his whereabouts. the huge people treated him as a pet. they put him on show, give speech and do sword drill, till he was tired out. later he was sent to the queen, the queen liked him very much and had him dine with her everyday. but life was not easy for him. nevertheless, something interesting happened. when he wanted to read, he had to climb up on the book and walk from left to right to read a line. imagine that scene i couldn’t help laughing. another story is playing the piano. he had to strike the keys hard with his first.

people comment the book as a satire to england even to the whole europe. in detail, that is, the first experience use the amusing reason of war to criticize the parties and religion of england, the second experience satirizes the boast and conceit of the whole europeans. nevertheless, in my opinion, i only see the vivid portrayal and the interesting imagination. maybe it’s because it’s the first time i read the story and know not so much about the background and situation of the author and his society, but the story really impresses me. i like the exotic experience of gulliver, and i like swifer’s imagination. a masterpiece which can influence generation after generation surely has its reason, maybe for the profound understanding of history, maybe for the description of people’s life. this novel may ha一ve something to do with sarcasm, but to me, at least by now, is a pure fantasy and a wonderful fairy tale.
