《动物世界大百科》读后感800字 - 读后感大全

《动物世界大百科》读后感800字-读后感大全 读《动物世界大百科》有感 今年暑假，我读了不少书，其中，令我印象深刻的就是《动物世界大百科》这本书。 刚看了几页，我就入了迷，书中，五彩缤纷的珊瑚、令人胆战心惊的鲨鱼，把我带进了神秘莫测的海洋世界；翩翩起舞的蝴蝶，飞檐走壁的壁虎，大腹便便的企鹅，聪明狡猾的狐狸。。。。。。各种各样的动物，把我带进了一个丰富多彩的动物乐园。 在众多的动物中，最令我震惊的动物是狼。记得在我幼年的时候，妈妈讲的童话故事中，狼总是扮演着大坏蛋的角色，而每当小朋友们不听话时，大人们总会说着“大灰狼来了”之类的话。在我们的字典里，“狼心狗肺”，“狼狈为奸”这样的成语也都告诉我们，“狼”，从来都不是什么好东西。因此，我对狼从来没有好印象。 而读了这本书，完全颠覆了我以前对狼的看法。书中告诉我，狼是哺乳动物，属犬科，和狗属于同一科。我国各地都有狼，总体分成两部分：北方狼和南方狼。北方狼毛长且厚，喜欢群居，南方狼毛短而稀，喜欢独居和双居。狼是肉食动物，作为食物链顶层的狼，是以肉食为生的，它为了自己能够活下去，必须要吃掉比自己弱小的动物。这是自然界的法则。 然而，狼真的一无是处吗？回答是否定的，它的存在也是必要的，书中说了这样一个故事，某地有人养了一群羊，时常会有狼来叼走羊，为了防止狼再来偷羊，他找来了帮手，打死并赶走了周围的狼，从此，再也没有狼来抓羊了，人们可以高枕无忧了。可是，事情并非像人们想像的这样美好，羊的数量飞速增长，草地的草很快被吃完了，人们只得另找一片草地。在迁徙过程中，由于个别的羊身体抵抗力弱，得了疾病，而这种病很快在羊群中蔓延开来，导致许多羊死亡，农场主损失惨重。这是怎么回事呢？ 通过查阅资料，我终于明白了其中的道理：原来，狼叼走的羊，在整个羊群中都是最弱的，或是最小的和生病的。这样，狼可以填饱自己的肚子，得以存活下去。另一方面，对羊群来说，留下的都是强壮的，健康的和有生命力的。同时，正因为有了狼的存在，整个羊群才充满生命力，它们时刻保持警惕来抵御狼群的攻击。 “物竞天择，适者生存”，狼既然存在，就一定有它存在的道理，其他各种食肉动物也是一样的。动物是人类的朋友，我们应该遵循自然界的规律，保护自然环境，维护生态平衡，给动物们创造一个和谐、宁静、自由的家园！

Comment on Walden In 1845, Thoreau decided to conduct an experiment of self-sufficiency by building his own house on the shores of Walden Pond and living off the food he grew on his farm. He sought to reduce his physical needs to a minimum, in order to free himself for study, thought, and observation of nature, himself. Walden can be many things and can be read on more than one level. But it is, first and foremost, a book about man, what he is, and what he should be and must be. Considered one of the all-time great books, Walden is a record of Thoreau's two year experiment of living at Walden Pond. The writer's chief emphasis is on the simplifications and enjoyment of life now. It is regarded as 1. a nature book.2. a do-it-yourself guide to simple life. 3. a satirical criticism of modern life and living. 4. a belletristic achievement 5. a spiritual book. The Scarlet Letter Symbolic meaning of the letter “A” :1.The scarlet letter “A” is the central symbol of the novel. At the beginning it symbolized the sin of Hester—“adultery”, 2.then gradually when Hester became accepted by the community, it stands for Hester’s intelligence and diligence—“able”. 3.At the end of the novel the symbol has evolved to represent the high virtues of Hester Prynne—“angel”. Comments on The Scarlet Letter:1.The theme of the story should be the moral, emotional and psychological effects of the sin on people. 2.Scarlet Letter is a cultural allegory, in which the author indirectly tells the future of Puritanism.3.Scarlet Letter is a sample in which American Romanticism adapted itself to American Puritanism.(Because of the strong influence of Puritanism in American society, Hawthorne only expressed his ideas on the sin indirectly by employing symbolism.) Symbolism in the novel Moby Dick A. the voyage itself is a metaphor for “search and discovery, the search for the ultimate truth of experience.” B. the Pequod is the ship of the American soul and consciousness. C. Moby Dick is a symbol of evil to some, of goodness to others, and of both to still others. D. The whiteness of Moby Dick is a paradoxical color, signifying death and corruption as well as purity, innocence and youth; it represents the final mystery of the universe. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Setting: unpopulated wildness an a dense forest along Mississippi River Characters:1.Ignorant uneducated black slave Jim2.Uneducated outcast white boy Huck Finn。Theme: Huck’s inner waving struggle between what he was taught and what he thought out of good-heart and humanity.Its Features：1.Profound portrait of Huckleberry Finn 2.Magic power with language, the use of vernacular. 3. Humor In a Station of the Metro1 by Ezra Pound The apparition of these faces in the crowd: Petals on a wet, black bough.
