嘉莉妹妹英语读后感
Having read the book Sister Carrie written by Theodore Dreisera very complicate feeling struck mefor the societythe people in America in the late 19th century.We can see clearly about the decadent and hypocritical moral principles of the bourgeois.They pursue only positionauthority and money.Pleasure is their honest companion.
The society was developing rapidly and the people's living standards were also improving.Yesthe prosperity appeared.But on the other handthe gap between the poor and the rich was strengthened.While some people were playing and drinkingthe other people were workingeven begging.Behind the happinesshiding much misery.Facing all of theseI am confused whether I should happy about the development of the society or I should sad about the cruel.
But I know I will give much sympathy to all of these peopleno matter they rich or poor.I am sorry that the rich have lost their good moralitytheir sympathy and I think they are blank in their spiritThe poorof courseare busy all the day for supporting themselves and their familyno time enjoying the life.All of them are the sacrifices of the society.
In this bookonly Sister Carrie can present us all of these.At firstshe was poor.She had to work hardbut only made ends meet.She admired the pleasure quick to understand the keener pleasures of life ambitious to gain in material things.You know Of an intermediate balance under the circumstances there is no possibility. The city has its cunning wiles no less than the infinitely smaller and more human tempterTheir beauty like music too often relaxes then wakens then perverts the simpler human perceptions.Then not only did Carrie feel the drag of desire for all which was new and pleasing in apparel for women but she noticed too with a touch at the heart the fine ladies who elbowed and ignored her brushing past in utter disregard of her presence. She realized in a dim way how meant for women and she longed for dress and beauty with a whole heart.Her craving for pleasure was so strong that it was the one stay of her nature.
She would speak for that when silent on all else.As a resultshe left her sisterfollowing Chas.H.Droueta salesman.So she has the beautiful roomhas the satisfied dress and so on.For a pereid of timeshe was happy and satisfied.But drived by the desireSister Carrie wants more. In Carrie-as in how many of our wordings do they not?
instinct and reason desire and understanding were at war for the mastery. She followed whither her craving led. She was as yet more drawn than she drew.When she went to the theatre with Drouet that spectacle pleased her immensely. The color and grace of it caught her eye. She had vain imaginings about place. and power about faroff lands and magnificent people. When it was over the clatter of coaches and the throng of fine ladies made her stare. CARRIE WAS AN APT STUDENT of fortune’s ways-of for Time’s superficialities. Seeing a thing she would immediately set to inquiring how she would look properly rated to it.
Be it known that this is not fine feeling it is Not wisdom. The greatest minds are not so afflicted; and On the contrary the lowest order of mind is not so disturbed. Fine clothes to her were a vast persuasion; they spoke tenderly and Jesuitical for themselves. When she came within earshot of their pleadingdesire in her bent a willing ear. The voice of the so——called inanimate!If we can saythen she falls in love with Hurstwoodmaybe pursuits something in spirit which cannot get from Drouet who seeks the enjoy all day and only cares about himself.With the developing of the storywe can see Carrie going through some difficultieseloping with Hurstwood.But at lastin New YorkCarrie became an actress by chance and turned out to be one of New York's most popular actresses.Neverthelessshe was not quite happy but felt lonely and void.To the resultI am thinkingmaybe this is inevitable.This is the fate in that society.
In the noveltoo much gave me a deeply impressionespecially the enormous change of Hurstwood.From the manager of a saloon to a beggaryHurstwood had stolen money from the safe in order to elope with Carriebut finally committed suicide.What is the reasonwho is wrong.Perhaps nobody knowswe cannot say Carrie or his families leading to this.Maybe this is the so-called destiny.But still seems to some deceiving ourselves.
Let us have a look at the other peoplethe families of the Hurstwoodhis wife and daughteronly love the vanity and seek the pleasure.They are cold and selfish.We cannot find the happiness that belongs to a familyHurstwood cannot feel the warmAnother personDrouet He loved fine clothes good eating and particularly the company and acquaintanceship of successful men.He has vanity and ambition. He might suffer the least rudimentary twinge of conscience in whatever he did and in just so far he was evil and sinning.He also loves women. Drouet had a habit characteristic of his kind of looking after stylishly dressed or pretty women on the street and remarking upon them. He had just enough of the feminine love of dress to be a good judge-not of intellect but of clothes.
He saw how they set their little feet how they carried their chins with what grace ands sinuosity they swung their bodies. A dainty self-conscious swaying of the hips by a woman was to him as alluring as the glint of red wine to a toper. He would turn and follow the disappearing vision with his eyes. he would thrill as a child with the unhindered passion that was in him. He loves the thing that women love in themselves grace. At this their own shrine he Knelt with them an ardent devotee.He lost the higher dreame.
No matter the result of these people is good or badI will feel sorry for them.They are the sacrifices of the society.We cannot only regard these as the destiny.Something else has led these.Of course we also cannot say it is the fault of the developmental society.Maybe what we can do is keep ourselves with our best.
