The story happened during the Civil War eve.Scarlett O'Hara,a 16-year-old girl,who was living in Tala manor in Georgia,was loving her neighbor Ashley Wilkes.However,after the war have broken out, Ashley Wilkes married his yonger cousin Melanie. Scarlett was so angry that she decided to marry a man she didn?t really love---- Charles Hamilton.Not long after that, Charles Hamilton joined the Army and died of illness in the war.So Scarlett had to act as a widow.Afterwards,at a donating dance party,Scarlett is acquainted with a captain named Rhett Butler. Then the flames of war approached Atlanta.Everyone was busy leaving away from the war.Scarlett managed to escape 1 / 23 精品文档 from Atlanta with the help of captain Rhett.Having come back to Tala manor,Scarlett made up her mind to rally her homeland at any cost when she saw that the former manor had been ruined.Later,her second husband died in the fight,she was a widow again.Durling that time, Rhett had been loving Scarlett sincerely and warmly.Seeing that Rhett could help her rally the manor,Scarlett married him.Although Rhett had similar characteristic attracting her,Scarlett still loved Ashley.Later,their only daughter died accidently,Rhett left Scarlett sorrowly.And then Scarlett realized that Rhett was the only one who could fall in love with her. The novel takes the US Civil War as the background.It takes Scarlett?s individual activity as the thread.The book show us a tragic love story .A couple who could have a perfect future,but finnally go in opposite direction.As a matter of fact,their charactristics have decided their tragic result inevitably.We feel sorry about the end because we are looking forward to a perfect end,just like Scarlett and Rhett.In 2 / 23 精品文档 fact,ferfect is always a excessive damand. I affirm Rhett.He brings excitement to Scarlett?s life and encourages her impulse to change and succeed.Like Scarlett,he goes after what he wants and refuses to take ?no? for an answer.He is humorous,intelligent and cynical with a hint of treason.He is really a respectable man.I think he finnally left because of love .Otherwise,he couldn?t have gone without hesitation. Ashley Wilkes is the foil to Rhett?s dark, realistic opportunism.If there was no Civil War,he is surely a nobility of grace and charm.But history cannot be changed.He bocame a victim of the war.His era was gone with the defeat of the war.At the same time,we cannot deny the fact that he had a chear understanding about reality,which just contribute to his tragedy. In this book,what I appreciate most is not Melanie?skindness or Rheet?s dedication and patience,but Scarlett?s courage to throw her long-standing morality and tradition whe faced with diffiiculties.At the beginning of the war,she didn?t 3 / 23 精品文档 care about this.In her world are endless dinner parties and dance parties.In her body are her father?s brave Irish blood and her mother?s noble French pure blood.She had a vast farm as her home.She had hundreds of slaves.This is Scarlett.,a member of noblity,proud and different.However,the war changed everything.Her mother died of illness.Her father become silent and the farm was nearly deserted.Even food became a big problem.All the pressure was put on Scarlett?s shoulder.She must feed a family of 9 people in it.What a big difference of level.If all this happened to someone else,he or she may choose to escape.On the contrary,Scarlett choose to face the change of life bravely.How can we not admire her courage of to change herself.Life is like a mountain.The road can?t be completely smooth.When we fall down from the peak,we may get hert ,we may get disappointed,we may feel despair.But if you want to survive,you must stand up to face it. It is obvious that > is really a good book,even if a long time has passed away,it is still suitable for today?s 4 / 23 精品文档 society.It is of great importance to change ourselves,change our value even our thoughts when our life chages. On the other hand,I think there is no real perfect in the world.Everybody has his shortcomings.It is necessary for us to learn to forgive others? faults.If we keep good-tempered,Ibelieve there will be more comedy and less tragedy. 篇二:英文小说读后感之飘 Gone with the Wind飘(又名:傲慢与偏见) 简介: Gone with the Wind is a romantic drama and the novel written by Margaret Mitchell, which sets the American Civil War as the background.

What impresses us most is the spirit of a rebellious Georgia woman named Scarlett O'Hara and her travails with friends, family and lovers in the midst of the antebellum South, the American Civil War, and the Reconstruction period. It also tells the story of love those blossoms between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. 9 / 23 精品文档 This is really a kind of moving story. Someone said that the most classic scene in the novel was that when Scarlett returned her ruined home, holding the earth in her hand, she promised that no matter to steal or to rob she would 篇三:《飘》英文读后感 Scarlett O’Hara One of my friends had recommended the book Gone with the Wind almost two years’ ago, but my reading plan was just put off, for the book is really too thick and I even no courage to start. However, this semester I made my mind to read and I found myself was totally lost in the absorbing plots and the attractive characters the author portrayed. I was impressed by the war, the love and the hero Scarlett O’Hara, who would also be a charming and successful woman in today’s modern society, I think. Scarlett is a dark-haired, green-eyed Georgia belle who struggles through the hardship of the Civil War and Reconstruction. She exhibits more of her father’s hard-headedness than her mother’s refined southern manners. Determination defines Scarlett and drives her 10 / 23 精品文档 to achieve everything she desires by any means necessary. 1, pursuing her love bravely Scarlett aims to win Ashley Wilkes, and her failure to do so guides the plot of the novel. Ashley’s marriage to Melanie and rejection of Scarlett drive nearly all of Scarlett’s important subsequence decisions. Scarlett marries Charles Hamilton to hurt Ashley, stays by Melanie’s side through the war because she promise Ashley she will, and loses her true love, Rhett butler, because of her persistent desire to win Ashley. Without hesitation for pursuing her love, she is a little blind to love. However, her courage is inspiring. After all, love always makes people lose sense. 2, facing the war fearfully On the night the Yankees capture Atlanta and set it afire, Scarlett drives the cart all night and day through a dangerous forest full of deserters and soldiers, at last reaching Tara. She arrives to find that her mother, Ellen, is dead; her father, Gerald, has lost his mind; and the Yankee army has looted the plantation, leaving no food or cotton. Scavenging for 11 / 23 精品文档 subsistence desperately, Scarlett vows never to go hungry again. Scarlett takes charge of rebuilding Tara. She murders a Yankee thief and puts out a fire set by a spiteful Yankee soldier. What a great girl she is! Instead of feeling afraid and waiting for others to help her, she bears the burden of rebuilding the Tara by herself. I admire her so much; for I have the same belief---- heaven helps those who help themselves! 3, gifted in business When Scarlett takes advantage of Frank’s immobility, going to the store to see the account books, she quickly realizes that frank runs the business badly—his friends owe him vast sums of money that he is too embarrassed to collect. Scarlett thinks she could do a much better job in strictly male world of business and begins to think of acquiring a sawmill. Devoting all her time to the mill and turning a sizeable profit by any means necessary, she becomes the only successful businesswoman in Atlanta. In that age, it is really a big challenge for women and she has the confidence and courage to challenge it. Scarlett’s development precisely mirrors the 12 / 23 精品文档 development of the American’s south. She changes from spoiled teenage to hard-working widow to wealthy opportunist, reflecting the south’s change from leisure society to besieged nation to compromised survivor. As selfish she is, her bravery and strong mind towards love and war really impress me a lot. When there is barrier, even disasters come, we can feel depressed or afraid, but never give up. It is really a wonderful novel which worth being chewed! 陈丽晓 篇四:飘英文版读后感原创 Gone With The Wind The novel is set in North Georgia at the time of the American Civil War, from 1861 to 1865 and beyond when the Southern plantation owners fought the northern Yankees for the right to own slaves. They lost the war, suffered innumerable losses of life in the process, and the romantic plantation life depicted in the early chapters of the novel is destroyed. During this period the characters in the novel undergo the transition from a carefree playful life of picnics and parties 13 / 23 精品文档 (underlain by the hard graft of their slaves) to one of hand-to-mouth living and hard physical labour, and finally, back to prosperity. About Scarlett O’Hara and Brave Scarlett O‘Hara is a spoilt society beauty with ― bristling black eyelashes‖ – I love this description! – which she uses to charm men. She lives with her sisters and parents on their plantation estate with dozens of slaves, including Mammy, their black housekeeper who is regarded (as much as was possible at that time) part of the family and plays an important role in Scarlett‘s life. The storyline centres around Scarlett‘s life at the time of the civil war and the other characters which interact with her. The book starts with the heroine of the piece, 17 year old Miss Scarlett O‘Hara flirting to the best of her capacity with the handsome Tarleton twins on the porch of Tara, her plantation house home, and berating the seriousness of the impending war because it ruins her capacity to have fun, attend parties and have beaux. I mention this first page because it encapsulates the very nature of the entire novel. Scarlett O‘Hara is 14 / 23 精品文档 a spoilt, selfish beauty with enormous power to manipulate men and a desire for the good things in life. Knowing this, you can see why she makes some of her seemingly ridiculous choices throughout the novel. Throughout the novel Scarlett makes some appalling decisions, such as marrying the shy, nervous Charles Hamilton (Melanie‘s brother) for spite because Ashley dared to marry Melanie. She quickly finds that married life isn‘t what it‘s cracked up to be, and that she can no-longer flirt to her heart‘s content. Matters are made even worse when Charles dies while at war, and Scarlett is doomed to years of widowhood, wearing black and no dancing. Worse than this even, she is pregnant with her first child, a fact she despises. However, Scarlett is not one to be held down for long and she quickly rebels against the constraints the society imposes by both dancing and wearing brightly coloured clothing (at Rhett‘s impetus) while still in mourning. Later on when the guns of war come close around Scarlett and her comrades she shows surprising resilience and strength, delivering Melanie‘s baby 15 / 23 精品文档 single-handed amid the sacking of Atlanta, and taking on the responsibility of managing Tara. She proves to be a sound and resourceful businesswoman, who can make difficult decisions when they are needed. You can‘t help but like Scarlett. She‘s hopelessly selfish, vain, manipulative, deluded and foolish, but she‘s also an extremely vivacious, loyal and strong character who can be relied upon to say and do just exactly what she thinks, regardless of the impact on other people. Again and again through the novel you find yourself thinking ―No Don‘t do that!‖ but you know she‘s going to do it anyway. About Rhett Butler and Love Rhett Butler is a dashing renegade, the man who is rumoured to have ruined a woman (whispered in shocked tones among Scarlett‘s companions). But he is a hero at the same time.He jeered the South‘s arrogant,but when he saw the soldiers fight bravely to protect their home,he was moved and join the army immediately. Butler is not a traditional gentleman.He is overbearing and wanton,foxery and unpoitely. He is a man who is full 16 / 23 精品文档 of contradiction which makes him so charming. That is the reality of social calm and uestrained passion of love, like the mixture of fire and ice. We interpret his character by way of analyzing his attitude to the South and the War. His tortuous and full of tragic love story reflect his passion love to Scarlett. Furthermore, we expound on the reason of his character formation. That is particular growth experience and social environment of the time. The theme of the paper is the courage of straighten the life, the indestructible spirit. The practical significance of this character shaped by Rhett is revealing the strength and weaknesses of personality When Scarlett first met Rhett,she said, ‘sir, you are no gentleman!‘ And Butler answered sarcastically, ?And you, miss, are no lady!‘ At that time, their fate has been an opened book. Rhett Butler, known for his scandalous ways with women, is the first man to ever offer her real love, along with all the material possessions she could ever ask for. He also happens to be the first man besides her father 17 / 23 精品文档 to truly understand her, her flaws and attributes; in effect, he becomes a kind of solid rock for Scarlet throughout the picture. Their love is a thwarted union of two passionate spirits—share equal focus with the story of people swept along by the forces of history. But Scarlett still can not forget Ashely,her first love--- a misplaced, deluded infatuation.She still fifn‘t realize that she is nobody to Ashely and the man who really cares about her tears is Rhett.And this really hurts Rhett. So Rhett turned his love to Bonnie----their daughter.He dote on Bonnie,treat her like a princess.He do everything for her to make her to be a respectable lade in the future.He ingratiate the upper class just for raising a good reputation for his dear little Bonnie. When Bonnie was dead, he was drastically collapsed. He told Melanie that Bonnie is the first one that really belongs to him and she is almost the same like her mother Scarlett. He loved her so much,he wants her to be seraphic and happy, he wanted to prote 18 / 23 精品文档 ct her away from all the fears and darkness. Rhett , his love is to protect, to connive. About the war The American Civil War (1861–1865), also known as the War Between the States (among other names), was a civil war in the United States of America. Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, also known as "the Confederacy." Led by Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy fought against the United States (the Union), which was supported by all the free states (where slavery had been abolished) and by five slave states that became known as the border states. In the presidential election of 1860, the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery beyond the states in which it already existed. In response to the Republican victory in that election, seven states declared their secession from the Union before Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861. Both the outgoing administration of President James Buchanan and Lincoln's incoming administration 19 / 23 精品文档 rejected the legality of secession, considering it rebellion. Several other slave states rejected calls for secession at this point Confederate commander Robert E. Lee won battles in the east, but in 1863 his northward advance was turned back with heavy casualties after the Battle of Gettysburg. To the west, the Union gained control of the Mississippi River after their capture of Vicksburg, Mississippi, thereby splitting the Confederacy in two. The Union was able to capitalize on its long-term advantages in men and materiel by 1864 when Ulysses S. Grant fought battles of attrition against Lee, while Union general William Tecumseh Sherman captured Atlanta and marched to the sea. Confederate resistance ended after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. The American Civil War was one of the earliest true industrial wars. Railroads, the telegraph, steamships, and mass-produced weapons were employed extensively. The practices of total war, developed by Sherman in Georgia, and of trench warfare around Petersburg foreshadowed World War I in Europe. It remains the 20 / 23 精品文档 deadliest war in American history, resulting in the deaths of 620,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilian casualties. Ten percent of all Northern males 20–45 years of age died, as did 30 percent of all Southern white males aged 18–40. In the book, Michell presented us a ruthless and misery picture of war through Scarlett‘s eyes. "War is a hellish way to settle a disagreement" The war caused poverty , plague,criminal and panic.The war ruined Scarlett‘s home, the spoiled beauty had to pich cotton and be the householder.All these tragedies were because of the war. Michell told us all these oppinions of war from a special female visual angle. ―Gone With the Wind ―is a book full of love and courage, I just can‘t help but repeat the brilliant words that Scarlett said---Tomorrow is another day! 篇五:《飘》 英文读后感300字 Gone with the wind --Margaret Mitchell This book was written during the American Civil War. Scarlett ,a beautiful girl with "bristling black eyelashes ",use to charm man. When I first read it, I did not like her. In my view ,she was a paradoxical human. 21 / 23 精品文档 She was hopelessly selfish,vain,manipulative,deluded and foolish,but she is also extremely vivacious,loyal and strong character.She had a strong will .whatever she thought she will try her best way to do it. In the book,she always think she loves Ashley.and she believe that Ashley also loves her.Although at the end he leaves her unkindly,she never give up this thought. But when I read it secondly.I find that she is just a lonely girl. during the Civil war , she has to make enough money to live with her lover and valentine. She pursuits but also ignore the true love . she regards Ashley as her true love but ignore Barrett who is always being with her. What a pity! If Scarlett can understand who is her lover and can give her happy life, she will not live so hard. Luckly , she has a strong will. Barrett is one of the persons that I like most. He was born in a wealth family, And has a good education. He did many things for Scarlett. He protected her, loved her,looked after her. He is waiting for Scarlett patiently. But Scarlett refused. As a smart ,charming,grave man. He could have had a better 22 / 23 精品文档 lover . He is not leave until his daughter's death. After read this book, I learned that we should enthusiastic with our life.
