Recently, I read the book Charlotte’s web. It mainly talks about a pig, Wilbur and his friend Charlotte, a spider. They become friends on a farm, and the story is all about their adventures.

The story takes place in a barn, where Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider formed their friendship. However, a piece of bad news broke the peace of the barn, Wilbur was going to become bacon and ham. As a pig, sad and desperate Wilbur seemed to accept his destiny. However, Charlotte said: "I will save you." On the pigpen, Charlotte used silk to weave words like ‘some pigs’, ‘terrific’, ‘radiant’, that were regarded as miracles by humans. These words of praise for Wilbur completely changed Wilbur's fate, and finally let Wilbur to win a special prize and led to a peaceful life. However, Charlotte's life came to an end at this time.

One big thing in the book is the power of friendship. Wilbur and Charlotte show us that friends can come from unexpected places, and it's not about how someone looks but how they care about you. It made me think about the friends I have and how important they are. A strong friendship can create miracles among us.

The book also talks a lot about life and death. While Charlotte’s friend succeeded, she had to face death. It made me think about how everything changes as we get older, and everything has to come to an end. Hence, we have to cherish what we have at the moment, and face death with a wise mind.

Another thing I liked is how the book talks about being kind. Kind Charlotte did as much as she could for Wilbur, which saved Wilbor’s life. This indicates that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. In a world where people often forget to be nice, it's a good reminder. We should be kind enough in our daily life, and always be willing to help others.

The story also reveals how wisdom matters. Being only a little spider, Charlotte uses her wisdom, by writing words on the web, saved Wilbur’s life. In our daily life, we should use our mind frequently, think more, and think wisely when facing difficulties, instead of giving up.

In summary, Charlotte's Web is more than just a kid's book. It reveals plenty of profound truths in our world. It made me feel things and think about what really matters. It's like a little adventure with friends, and I'm glad I read it. If you're looking for a good story that's easy to understand but still makes you think, this is a great pick.

After reading the novel, the biggest shock is the book of Oceania for the protagonist of the outer party member Winston's humanity, the totalitarian ruler represented by O 'Brien with a series of cruel means to successfully turn a living person who is still flashing the light of humanity into a walking dead who only knows 2+2=5 and love Big Brother. The society depicted in 1984 is a totalitarian society that is completely dehumanizing. Why is it a totalitarian society? I learned from Baidu that the main characteristic of totalitarian regimes is the penetration and diffusion of political power, and its extreme type is that political power penetrates into all areas of humanity, the social order is completely achieved by political power, and individuals no longer have any private space or freedom. There is a classic saying in the book, "Big Brother is watching you," and the core party represented by Big Brother is the ruling class of the country and the embodiment of totalitarianism, and he controls Winston. It is clear from the circumstances of Winston's life that as a member of the outer party, apart from work and collective activities, every activity initiated by him is dangerous, as the book says, "In principle, a party member has no free time, except sleeping in bed, the rest of the time is always with someone." However, even if you go to bed, you will still be monitored by Big Brother's eyes - the telescreen. By the way, the "telescreen," that is, the development of science and technology, is the reason for the existence of totalitarian societies. After consulting Marx's scientific discourse on human nature, I learned that the core of Marxist theory of human nature lies in the full affirmation of human nature, the trust in the infinite potential and wisdom of human beings, and the yearning and pursuit of human freedom and liberation. None of this exists in Oceania. First, Oceania denies humanity. They put forward that the party is human nature and nothing else is worth mentioning. They think that they control human life and create human nature, which is obviously a denial of human nature. Marx believed that human nature comes from nature and society, and human nature cannot be created by only one political party. "All human characteristics or attributes" are human nature, it contains human natural, social and spiritual attributes ", sexual desire as one of the natural attributes of human beings, is the basic power of human reproduction, and the lack of the party to destroy this power, on the grounds of corruption of society, the men and women as simple reproductive tools, "the scarlet belt of the Youth Anti-sex League" is a crime. Oceania obliterates the potential and intelligence of its people. For the people of Oceania "ignorance is power", one only needs to know that 2+2=5, and that Oceania's hierarchical society is based on poverty and ignorance. According to Marx, the comprehensive development of human beings has a comprehensive and rich connotation, which not only refers to the full development of physical and mental strength, but also refers to the full, free, harmonious and unified development of all human attributes. Man can rely on "free" and "conscious" activities, that is, purposeful and conscious class struggle, productive labor and scientific experiments, to transform nature, society and himself, and to obtain freedom for his own development in the world of objects of transformation. However, the Party takes "new language" as the ultimate goal of spiritual construction, and uses "new language" to narrow the scope of human thought, so that people cannot develop their own thoughts to carry out class struggle and change this totalitarian society under the control of Big Brother. This is undoubtedly the erasure of human spiritual attributes and the destruction of human potential and intellectual development. Oceania prevents people from being free and emancipated. Oceania had a slogan, "Freedom is slavery," and the party believed that no one would seize power in order to abolish it. Power is not a means but an end. A dictatorship is not established to defend the revolution; The revolution in turn is to establish a dictatorship. The totalitarian rule of Oceania, the endless pursuit of power by the ruling class, is to create for the people a prison from which they can never escape, and living in such a prison, freedom and liberation become elusive. Marx said: "The nature of the activity of life contains the whole character of a species, its class character, and free conscious activity is precisely the class character of man." In addition to the people of Oceania have no freedom of personal thought, nor the freedom of personality development, and Marxism has always attached importance to the unique and free development of personality, but the party is the stick of humanity, the personality of the party replaces the personality of all people, in life, economy, politics and other fields, the Party has formulated strict standards to completely eliminate the difference of people's personality. Thus, people lose the characteristics of free and conscious activities and become a tool for the party to implement totalitarian rule.

Reflection on "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian"

Reflection on "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" 

# data[].attributes.body
When I first picked up "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian," I didn't expect to laugh, cry, and get mad, sometimes all on the same page. Sherman Alexie's book, which is kind of a mirror of his own life, tells the story of Junior, a smart kid with a weird sense of humor and a bunch of health issues, living on the Spokane Indian Reservation.

Junior's life on the "rez" is a mixed bag of family love, friendship, and a whole lot of sadness. It's a place where dreams are like the last piece of pie at Thanksgiving dinner – everyone wants it, but not everyone gets a bite. When Junior decides to leave his school on the rez for a better one in town, it feels like he's leaving more than just a school; he's leaving a part of himself behind.

Reading through his diary, filled with his drawings that are both funny and sad, I got to see the world through his eyes. It's a world where getting punched in the face is just as normal as getting an A in geometry. This book doesn't just give you a story; it gives you a ticket to ride along with Junior as he figures out who he is and who he wants to be.

One thing that really hit me was how Junior dealt with loss. Man, he lost a lot – his grandmother, his sister, and it felt like each time a piece of him was chipping away. But he kept going. It made me think about how we all have stuff that tries to knock us down, but we've got to keep getting back up.

Going to his new school, Junior was the only Native American except for the school mascot. Talk about awkward, right? But even when people there treated him like he was from another planet, he found friends in the most unexpected places. His new buddy Gordy was like a walking encyclopedia, and he showed Junior that there’s a whole world of knowledge out there.

What I loved about this book is that it's real. It doesn't try to paint a pretty picture when there isn't one. Life on the rez is tough – with alcohol, fights, and a future that seems as distant as a star in the night sky. But there's also beauty in the bonds between people, in the laughter that comes out of tears, and in the hope that grows from despair.

Sherman Alexie's words are like arrows shooting straight. He doesn't sugarcoat the truth, and he shows that sometimes, life is a mess – but it's our mess to make sense of. Junior's story taught me that no matter where you come from, your dreams are valid, and you’ve got the right to chase them, even if it means leaving some things behind.

To wrap it up, "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" is a story that’ll stick with me for a long time. It's more than just a book for a school assignment; it's a book that challenges how you see the world and the people in it. Junior might be a fictional character, but his story is the reality for many, and it's one that we all need to understand.

The House on Mango Street is a full-length novel by American author Sandra Cisneros consisting of 44 relatively self-contained short chapters, all of which take place on a small Chicago street called Mango Street. It chronicles the transformation of Esperanza, the novel's heroine, from a girl to a woman, chronicling the last days of her teenage years.

Esperanza, who lives on Mango Street in a poor Latin American neighbourhood, was born with empathy for the pain of others and a sense of beauty; she surveys the world around her with clear eyes, and uses her beautiful and tender language to talk about growing up, the vicissitudes of life, the beauty of life, and the hopes and dreams of youth. Esperanza dreams of having a house of her own, of pursuing herself in writing, of gaining freedom and the ability to help others, of getting away from poverty and flying out of Mango Street.

At home, Esperanza becomes a wonderful traditional woman in the eyes of men in a patriarchal society. Esperanza observes her own family's life, the lives of her neighbours, and the cruel marriages formed by the girls under the patriarchal ideology, and comes to her own conclusion - the only way to live is not to be like her "mother", the only way to live is not to be like the other girls, and through self-salvation and the ability to help others, she can escape from poverty. She comes to the conclusion that only by not living like her "mother", only by not living like the other girls, and only through self-rescue and writing, can she embark on the road to freedom.

At the heart of the novel is Esperanza's growth, which is a process of self-awareness awakening and construction. Esperanza begins her search for self-worth through the awakening of her awareness of racial differences and discrimination against women. She leaves Mango Street so that she can return to Mango Street later to bring the awakening of self-worth to those who still remain in Mango Street and are subjected to racial discrimination. Esperanza learnt that relying on men is unstable, and that men become "masters" who enslave women, not friends, and that a woman can only realise herself by breaking away from men and relying on herself. When Esperanza is reassured by her mother that she will become more and more beautiful, she counters, "I'm determined not to grow up to be as meek as the others, with my neck on the threshold, waiting for sweet chains."

The house in the novel is the central symbol of the book, the hope of little Esperanza, and the main character's hope for the house in the book also contains a vision of her ideal self. The author uses several images throughout the book, such as about the house, balloons, and trees, all of which can be seen as projections of the protagonist's sense of self in an objective society. The novel is, in a sense, a story about a man's search for himself in the world, for a place of hope and belonging. Dreams and hopes do not come out of nowhere. Possessing the desire for dreams and hope for the end of time, but the commercialised society, where people always define the standard of beauty and ugliness in terms of consumer goods, dominates the feelings of the children. As little Esperanza grows up, the house keeps changing into a hope. She envies those who can live on the hill and sleep so close to the stars, but also makes it clear that those on high forget about those of us who live on the ground. She dreams that one day she will have a house on the hill and will take in homeless wanderers in her attic. From the imagery of the house, we can not only see the awkward identity and poor status of the marginalised people in the mainstream culture, but at the same time we can also feel their sensitivity and strength, and their endless hope for the future. Little Esperanza witnesses the miserable life of many poor people on Mango Street, and she is determined to have a house of her own. This "house of my own" is Esperanza's declaration to the world that she wants to be completely independent of her own personality, so that women can finally enjoy equal and free rights; and "But I won't forget who I am and where I came from" further expresses Esperanza's hope for the future. expresses that Esperanza not only wants to own her own house, but she will also fight for the political, equality and freedom rights of more Hispanic immigrants, so that they can all own "their own houses" and have their own hopes.

The description of the women's high heels in the novel is another interpretation of the author's hope. The girls are excited to wear their mothers' high heels and begin to walk in the same sexy way as the adult girls. From the metaphor of the shoes, Heath Neross provides an insight into the disadvantaged situation of the women of Mango Street, which symbolises the marginalised culture, and their powerlessness and passivity in resisting the strong patriarchal power. The women of Mango Street have been trapped all their lives in a poor and burdensome domestic life, wearing very uncomfortable high-heeled shoes imagining that one day their lover can take them out of the deep continent, but not wanting to fall into another trap. But little Esperanza is brave enough to explore a real way out of her own upbringing. She refuses to be one of those tortured women on Mango Street, but instead she throws away her crappy high heels and bravely picks up a pen to change her destiny.

In the novel, the author's portrayal of the four thin trees is another source of hope for the author. As the reader can appreciate, everyone has reasons to support themselves during their growth. And these four thin trees give little Esperanza a reason to hold on to hope. No matter how much pressure there is, no matter how many setbacks and injuries there are, little Esperanza will break through the masonry and grow just as tenaciously as the four scrawny little trees near the house. Although Esperanza is not able to control her own destiny and change the world, she still feels the world with a sensitive and strong heart. She waits hopefully to grow up, waits for enough strength, and then fights. She believes that the tree, like a fierce beast, is unstoppable, and that she will one day succeed. A little poem by little Esperanza, who contemplates the secrets of the tree in moments of pain, speaks to her heart. "I want to be a wave in the sea, a cloud in the wind, but I'm just little me, one day I'm going to, jump out of my body, I'm going to shake the sky, like a hundred violins", so weak, yet so strong in courage and hope.

Leaving means a more meaningful return. If the desire to leave Mango Street is almost equal to the pursuit of success and affluence, the responsibility and expectation of returning to Mango Street is essentially beyond hope in the usual sense. The author concludes the book by saying, "I left in order to return. For the sake of those I left behind. For those who couldn't get out." Those left behind are the perpetual fulcrum of those who left. To return, on the other hand, is to bring back dreams and hopes to tell the story of another life. Everyone has probably been like Esperanza, confused about life, about the future, and finally deciding to look for a better future, for those left behind, for those who couldn't get out. Although The Cottage on Mango Street speaks softly in a child's voice about everything around her, its richness is brought out through this seemingly unintentional description, which makes you feel full of hope.

It makes you look forward to tomorrow with ho

I read a book called My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry ,this winter vacation. The author is Frederick Buckman, a Swedish writer. His writing is funny and lively, and the characters in his pen are really real, which makes me laugh with tears and realise life.

This is a story about love, protection and forgiveness. The protagonist of the story is a seven-year-old girl, Elsa, and her grandmother. Elsa ’ grandmother is a little different from other people's grandmothers. She is a strange and crazy old lady who will ambush in the snow to scare her neighbours, slip out of the hospital in the middle of the night and take Elsa into the zoo, and shoot salesmen with a paintball gun. However, Elsa likes her grandmother. Staying with her grandmother can briefly forget the fact that her mother and father are separated. She can hear many wonderful fairy tales and be a different person. She is a grandmother who loves to make trouble, an "incompetent" grandmother, but also a grandmother who has cancer and dares not say goodbye to Elsa.

Her grandmother once said that every seven-year-old child should have a superhero of his own. Grandma is Elsa's hero! Grandma is a very gentle person in her heart. Although her life is not as orderly as her mother, she is giving back to society in her own way. She is a doctor. It can be said that she will appear wherever she is needed, or the more others do not want to go, the more she will appear. Why? Because she wanted to do her part to save... Grandma's letter of apology is a lot of apology and love. In the process of sending letters to Grandma, it was also a process that Elsa slowly liked. She found that her house was also a fairy tale kingdom. As Grandma said, fairy tales were based on life. Elsa found that every one in the building People all play the role of fairy tales, from dislike and fear to like and love.

Grandma moved me very much. She told us that we shouldn't care about the ideas of those fools, because the best people are always different - look at those superheroes. After all, if everyone has superpowers, there is nothing unusual.

Reflection on the Little Prince's Reading （Alice）

Reflection on the Little Prince's Reading （Alice）

# data[].attributes.body
"The Little Prince" is the work of French writer Antony de Saint Exup é ry. The book not only contains rich imagination, but also has a romantic language. Regardless of the age group, reading it will bring different emotions.

Every adult used to be a child, owning their own B612 asteroid. That planet may be ordinary and small, but it always shines with an indelible light. Because it originates from every sincerity, every courage to express love, and every wild imagination. As an adult pilot and also the "me" in the book, I fell in a flight accident and met the Little Prince in a desert. He seemed curious about everything, but only he could see his childhood paintings. A python digesting an elephant, not just a simple hat.

The 6-year-old painting is like a bullet, traversing decades of wind and frost before returning to this aviator, hitting the center of his brow. When adults are no longer fixated on creativity and ideas, as if they no longer care about the problem of pythons, the Little Prince can see through it at a glance and give the answer. He is so familiar, so determined to say, "This is a python digesting an elephant," because he has also fantasized countless times, turning his attention into simple interests and inspiration. As the fox at the end of the story said, "What is truly important cannot be seen with the eyes, only with the heart can it be seen clearly." "Humans have forgotten this truth, but you must not forget it." In fact, the answer is already revealed at the beginning of the book.

The first thing the Little Prince learned was to have a childlike heart and a passion for the world, which was also his innate talent.

The little prince longed for the arrival of new things, so heaven gave him a rose. That is a hot tempered and delicate rose that can be seen everywhere on Earth. The Little Prince said that if someone falls in love with a unique flower among 10000 stars, as long as they look at these stars, they will feel happy. He could mutter to himself, "My flower is on one of the stars, but if a sheep eats this flower, all the stars seem to have gone out in one go."He slowly discovered his love for the rose on the journey, and every thorn in the rose's words was mixed with care. The fragrant breath and blooming petals were always passionately saying "I love you". He understood and said, "I should have judged based on her behavior rather than words. I really shouldn't have left her and ran out. I should have experienced all the warmth hidden behind his insightful tricks." The most touching thing about this sentence is not only about love, but also about family.

So far, the second thing the Little Prince learned is called love.

On his interstellar journey, he met all kinds of adults. A king who governs everything but has no actual power, a vain person who can only hear praise, a drunkard who drinks to avoid real-life problems (always drinking), and a businessman who always calculates his own assets. Their behavior is absurd and comical, and their self contradiction makes people laugh. In the end, he met a lamplighter who insisted on lighting and turning off a lamp for a minute if he wanted to rest. Unlike the people in front of him, he was fulfilling his duties, and this steadfastness and persistence moved the Little Prince. As he said, "This is the only person I can try to be friends with on this trip, because he is doing things for people outside of himself, even if he will definitely be looked down upon by the king, the vain, the drunkard, and the merchant." The little prince saw the power of responsibility for the first time.He often thought of his rose until he met a fox on Earth. The fox said, "It is precisely because of the time you have put in for the rose that your rose is so important." The little prince "tamed" the rose and took responsibility for his own rose. This is also true in human life, because each other has invested time and become unique beings, we should learn to cherish and take responsibility. Guard your rose well, don't let her cry.

The third thing the Little Prince learned is called responsibility.

In fact, the Little Prince has never dissipated. In every moment when we sets aside fame, fortune, and work, as long as he embraces the world with sincerity, courage, and responsibility, and accepts ourselves ,every adult can return to that B612 asteroid and meet his former self.

"Hairy Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a book wrote by J.K. Rowling, and it's a really amazing book that takes us into a world full of magic. This book, which is the number one in the famous Hairy Potter series, is a real masterpiece that has captured the hearts of people of all the ages.

From the first page, I was really interested in the story. Rowling's descriptions was so good that I feel like I was really in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a place where magic is real. The characters in the book was so unforgettable, each one with their own personality and things that make them different from others.

The main character in the story is Hairy Potter, a young boy who doesn't know he's a wizard. He lost his parents and he's trying to find out who he really is. I was so happy for him when he was facing the challenges and solving the secrets in the book.

One thing that I really like about the book is how the author creates the world of magic. She describes so many magical creatures and spells that make me believe in magic. The way magic is part of the everyday life in the book is so interesting.

Also, Rowling pays attention to the details. She describes Hogwarts so well that I can imagine how it looks like, with the stairs that move and the paintings that talk. It's like I'm really there, with Hairy and his friends, experiencing everything with them.

The book talks about friendship, bravery, and the fight between good and bad. The friendship between Hairy, Ron, and Hermione is really nice, and it shows the importance of being loyal to your friends. The bad guy, Lord Voldemort, makes the story really exciting and dangerous.

Besides the magic, the book also teaches us important life lessons. It shows us that the choices we make are important and that our actions have consequences. It's a book that has a lot of wisdom and guidance for life.

To conclude, "Hairy Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is an amazing book that made me imagine a lot and made me want to read more. J.K. Rowling is a great author who can create a world of magic with interesting characters and themes. I can't wait to read the other books in the series and continue the journey in Hairy Potter's world.

The Red and the Black is a foundational work of 19th-century European critical realism. The novel revolves around the protagonist Julien's personal struggle and final failure, especially the description of his two loves, and extensively shows "the social atmosphere brought about by the successive governments that pressed on the heads of the French people in the early 30 years of the 19th century", and strongly criticizes the reactionary aristocracy of the Restoration period, the darkness of the church, and the vile vulgarity and greed of the bourgeois nouveau riche. Therefore, although the novel takes Julien's love life as the main line, it is not a love novel after all, but a ‘political novel’.

Stendhal was a master of literature who reflected on major social issues in love. Both of Julien's love affairs were closely linked to the times, which was a form of class rivalry at the time, and he did develop genuine feelings for Madame de Renard later, but at first out of revenge on the magnates of the small towns. Thus, when Julien first took possession of Madame de Renard's hand, he felt not the happiness of love, but the triumph of Napoleonic ambition, the "revelry" and "joy", the satisfaction of revenge.

If Julien's pursuit of Madame de Renard still had some sincere feelings, then Julien's love for Mademoiselle Mathilde was purely political, and Mathilde had the arrogant and willful temperament of an aristocratic maiden and was deeply influenced by the French Revolution. She believes that if there is another great revolution, it must be a vigorous young man like Julien who will dominate society. The same as connecting to form a couple, which is not only full of romance, but also finds a strong backer. And Julien thinks that marrying Miss Mathilde can climb to a high position, so he does not hesitate to cheat her love.

However, Julien's two loves ultimately failed. This is because during the Restoration, the feudal forces fought back rampantly against the burghers. Julien was not a member of the circle of the ruling class, and that class would never tolerate a man like Julien to realize his ambitions.

The Red and the Black has outstanding achievements in the shaping of typical environments, typical characters, symmetrical artistic structure, and the use of white drawing techniques, and Stendhal has been called the "father of the modern novel" by critics because of his outstanding psychological genius in "Red and Black". Realist writers emphasize the truth of details, but Stendhal is different from Balzac, he focuses on depicting not the objective environment, but the meticulousness and realism of the inner activities of the characters. The author devotes only three pages to the plot between the time he learns that Madame de Reynald wrote a letter of denunciation and the shooting of her, while the love affair with Mathilde is described in detail on hundreds of pages. Madame de Renard's complex psychology of joy, pain, repentance and unwillingness to give up happiness when she fell in love is also stunning.

Reading "The Red and the Black" is a long process, because time has given the most selfless and fair judgment of the writer and the work, and I can't read it as unscrupulously as I do with bestsellers, nor can I be as noncommittal as I do with romance novels. I was talking to that era with my heart, and the focus was on exploring and thinking beyond history.

As I closed the final page of the seventh and final installment of the Harry Potter series, a sense of profound sadness and longing washed over me. The world that J.K. Rowling had created so masterfully, with its charming characters, breathtaking adventures, and profound themes, felt like a distant realm that I had been privileged to visit. But more than that, "Harry Potter" had been a companion through my formative years, a series that had grown with me, teaching me valuable lessons about life, love, and the human spirit.

Harry Potter himself is a remarkable character. From the moment we meet him as a young boy, living a life of neglect and isolation with his unloving relatives, we see a spark of courage and defiance that never dims. Harry's journey through the series is not just one of magic and adventure; it's one of personal growth and transformation. He goes from being a scrawny, lonely child to a confident, brave young man who finds his place in the world and his true family among friends.

The relationships between Harry, Ron, and Hermione are not just the hallmarks of a great friendship; they are the embodiment of loyalty, understanding, and mutual support. Through thick and thin, they stand by each other's sides, ready to face any challenge or danger that comes their way. Their friendship teaches us that true companionship is built on trust, respect, and a shared history of memories and experiences.

The themes explored in "Harry Potter" are as diverse as they are profound.

After reading "The Three-Body Problem" by Liu Cixin, I was really impressed by this science fiction novel. It's not just an exciting story, but also makes me think a lot about human nature, the mysteries of the universe, and how different civilizations might work together or fight against each other.

The book takes us on a journey that begins in China during the Cultural Revolution era and then zooms out to the vast expanse of space where aliens from the Trisolaran system live. The author smartly combines history with futuristic ideas, showing how important scientific exploration is when facing big challenges.

In the book, there are some really cool and imaginative uses of physics concepts. For example, the game called 'Three-Body' simulates the unpredictable conditions on the alien planet, and things like 'sophons' and the 'Dark Forest theory' make you ponder about life, knowledge, and the whole universe.

The characters are well-developed, dealing with tough moral decisions and personal sacrifices that I could relate to. Through their experiences, I got a glimpse of what it would be like if we made contact with extraterrestrial intelligence and the scary possibilities it could bring to Earth's future.

In summary, Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem" series goes beyond being just sci-fi; it's a reminder of our place in the cosmos and stresses the importance of both science and humanities. Reading it left me with many questions and wonderings about the big mysteries of existence long after I finished the last page.

Title: Reflections on "Million Pound Bank Note" by Mark Twain

"Million Pound Bank Note" by Mark Twain is a captivating tale that delves into the complexities of human nature, societal perceptions, and the power of belief. Set in Victorian-era London, the story follows the unexpected journey of Henry Adams, an American stranded in England, who finds himself in possession of a seemingly worthless piece of paper - a million-pound banknote. Through Henry's experiences, Twain weaves a narrative that explores themes of wealth, class, and the intrinsic value of money.

One of the central themes of the story is the arbitrary nature of wealth and its influence on human behavior. Despite possessing no tangible wealth or resources, Henry Adams is thrust into a world of privilege and luxury solely based on the promise of the million-pound banknote. Through Henry's encounters with various characters, Twain highlights how societal perceptions of wealth can shape individuals' attitudes and behaviors. From the generosity of the wealthy Portman brothers to the skepticism of the shopkeepers, Henry's journey exposes the superficiality of societal hierarchies and the power dynamics inherent in the distribution of wealth.

Furthermore, "Million Pound Bank Note" explores the concept of belief and its transformative effect on reality. Despite facing numerous challenges and doubts along the way, Henry maintains unwavering faith in the value of his banknote. His steadfast belief not only sustains him through difficult times but also attracts unexpected opportunities and alliances. Twain skillfully portrays the power of positive thinking and the role of perception in shaping one's destiny. Through Henry's character, readers are reminded of the importance of self-confidence, resilience, and optimism in navigating life's uncertainties.

Additionally, Twain offers a critique of societal conventions and the pursuit of wealth for its own sake. While Henry is initially drawn into the world of high society and material extravagance, he ultimately discovers the emptiness and superficiality of such pursuits. Through his interactions with the aristocracy and the working class alike, Henry comes to realize that true wealth lies not in material possessions but in human connection, integrity, and self-worth. Twain's exploration of these themes serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of values and priorities in leading a fulfilling life.

Moreover, "Million Pound Bank Note" serves as a social commentary on the disparities of wealth and the challenges faced by those on the margins of society. Despite his inherent qualities and resourcefulness, Henry's lack of financial means initially leaves him vulnerable and marginalized. Twain sheds light on the arbitrary barriers and prejudices faced by individuals based on their socioeconomic status, highlighting the systemic injustices embedded within society. However, Henry's journey also offers hope and resilience in the face of adversity, demonstrating the potential for individuals to overcome obstacles and redefine their circumstances.

In conclusion, "Million Pound Bank Note" is a thought-provoking tale that explores timeless themes of wealth, belief, and societal perception. Through the character of Henry Adams, Mark Twain invites readers to reflect on the nature of wealth, the power of belief, and the importance of integrity and human connection. As Henry's journey unfolds, readers are reminded of the inherent value of self-worth, resilience, and optimism in navigating life's challenges. Ultimately, "Million Pound Bank Note" is not just a story about wealth and privilege but a profound meditation on the human spirit and its capacity for transformation.

The Shawshank Redemption is an American drama film based on Stephen Edwin King's 1982 novella The Shawshank Redemption, written and directed by Frank Drabonte and starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. The film mainly tells the story of banker Andy, who was wrongly convicted of shooting his wife and her lover to prison, how he plotted to save himself step by step and finally succeeded in escaping and regaining his freedom.

One of the main themes of the film is the power of hope. Within the prison walls, Andy did not give up hope, he firmly believed that he was wronged, and has been looking for opportunities to prove his innocence. With wisdom and courage, he changed his own life and affected those around him. Even the prisoners who had been imprisoned for many years began to think about their lives and futures under Andy's influence.

The character development in the film was also very successful. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman do an excellent job of creating the personalities and inner lives of Andy and Red. Andy is a reserved, composed, and visionary banker, while Red is a witty, humorous, and kind black prisoner. The interaction between the two characters is also very interesting, as they change from strangers to friends to life and death friends at the end, allowing the audience to feel the beauty and warmth of humanity.

In addition, the filming technique and the score of the film are also worth mentioning. Director Frank Delabonte used a lot of long shots and detailed descriptions to give the audience a better understanding of the characters and the storyline. The score is also excellent, especially the song "The Marriage of Figaro", which appears several times in the film, adding more emotional color to the storyline.

While watching the film, I couldn't help but think about people in real life. Many people live in a state of bondage, whether it be due to work pressures, family responsibilities, or relationships. They may feel helpless and hopeless and think they can't get out of this situation. But "The Shawshank Redemption" tells us that hope is powerful and that as long as we don't give up, we may find the opportunity to change our fate.

In the movie, Andy succeeds in changing his fate through his own efforts and wisdom. Although he was inside the prison walls, he never gave up hope and finally proved his innocence with his own actions. His story tells us that no matter what predicament we are in, we should keep an optimistic attitude and bravely face the challenges and difficulties in life.

In general, The Shawshank Redemption is a very outstanding film, which not only has high artistic value, but also has profound ideological connotation. The film tells us that the power of hope is infinite and that as long as we don't give up, it is possible to find the chance to change our fate. We should cherish every day of our lives, face the challenges and difficulties bravely, and make our lives more fulfilling and meaningful.
