1、汤姆索亚历险记读后感英文版导语:在汤姆索亚历险记中,马克吐温用一个孩子的视角敲响了不择手段地追逐名利的浮夸社会的警钟。this winter holiday l read a book .the book name is the adventures of tom books writer is mark twain.the book is talk about tom sawyer does not like school .he does not like work ,and he never wants to get out of bed in the he likes swimming

2、 and fishing,and having adventures with his he has a lot of adventures.but toms adventures can be dangerous, night in the graveyard he and huck finn see three are they?and what are they doing in the graveyard,in the middle of the night?then the boys see that one of the men is injun joe.tom and huck

3、never forget that are afraid of injun joe-and they are right to be afraid because injun joe is very quick with a knife.this story is very interesting and exciting.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

4、 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 simpl

5、e, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyers 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

6、 great about childhood. The book is filled with Toms 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,

7、 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 take

8、s 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 Im 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 any

9、one looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.The Magic of Tom SawyerThe 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

10、 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 th

11、at such a desire could hardly be achieved, given the fact that they have lots of homework and examinations to finish and in the meantimetheir parents wont 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 tha

12、t 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

13、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 mindwhy did the compliersinclude Tom Sawyer as a text in primary school textbook. Is it simply because the book entertains school childrens curiosity, sin

14、ce 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

15、proceed the reading and I found myself on the compiler s side. The style of Mark Twain s writing as well asthe 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 m

16、e in the first place. This novel features the frequent use of the conversational rule of Black EnglishDoublenegatives 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

17、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 t

18、ells 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 ofhas.Huck has. And so do many others. No matter how many scandlous charges were brought against him for thismatter, no one can deny his outstandingness and

19、unique perception.Tom Sawyer is of Mark Twain style in another aspect, that is the author s attention to the interactionbetween 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 unde

20、rstanding. 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 protago

21、nist, 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 su

22、ch 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 mischievo

23、usness. 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 teasedHi-yi! You re up a st

24、ump, ain t you?, Tom gave no answer. But rather hesurveyed 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 hereand there critized the ef

25、fect 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 knowbut if it was th

26、e 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 goingto 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 t

27、ime 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 go

28、t 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

29、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 cannotsurvive Toms wisdom. Rememberh ow our pirates returned from Jackson s island? There was a rustle in t

30、he gallery, which nobody noticed; a moment later the church door creaked; the minister raised his streaming eyes the congregationrose 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

31、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 Toms. A funeral is a solemn occasion sybolizing the mor

32、tal 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 t

33、o the-apple-of-the eye position for the moment. That would sound kind of ironic for the adults since theyhad 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 root

34、ed 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 hatedhis life in St. Petersburg. He had desperately wanted to break away from the old

35、 life together with its traditions, authority and being rebelling is not enough for an adventure career. It s the courage toget 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

36、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

37、and nobody else? The truth is as follows. Joe hadjust 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 w

38、ants 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 getenough 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

39、 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

40、-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 givethem a big round of applouse. Another case in point is his adventure with Becky in the cave. They had got lost and were in
