Reading Note
The Scarlet Letter offers an extraordinary insight into the norms and behavior of American Puritan society in the 17th century. The basic conflicts and problems of its main characters, however, are familiar to readers in the present. The female protagonist, has borne a child out of wedlock and has been jailed for over three months and sentenced to wear a symbol of her adultery, a scarlet “A” on her dress at all times. It concerns about the moral, emotional and psychological effect of the sin on people in general. It’s not simply a love story or a story of sin. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne uses the scarlet letters to symbolize the harshness of Puritan society, showing how they brand sinners for life.
I think these paragraphs are very meaningful:
1、"A writer of story-books! What kind of a business in life,--what mode of glorifying God, or being serviceable to mankind in his day and generation, --may that be? Why, the degenerate fellow might as well have been a fiddler!" Such are the compliments bandied between my great-grandsires and myself, across the gulf of time! And yet, let them scorn me as they will, strong traits of their nature have intertwined themselves with mine.
Analysis: This passage comes from the introductory section of The Scarlet Letter, in which the author details how he decided to write his version of Hester Prynne's story. Part of his interest in the story is personal-- he is descended from the original Puritan settlers of Massachusetts. Like Hester, he both affirms and resists Puritan values. The narrator finds Hester Prynne compelling because she represents America's past, but also because her experiences reflect his own dilemmas. Thus, for the narrator, the act of writing about Hester becomes not a trivial activity but a means of understanding himself and his social context.
2、"Mother," said little Pearl," the sunshine does not love you. It runs away and hides itself, because it is afraid of something on your bosom...It will not flee from me, for I wear nothing on my bosom yet!"
"Nor ever will, my child, I hope," said Hester." And why not, mother?" asked Pearl, stopping short..."Will it not come of its own accord, when I am a woman grown?"
Analysis: This quote is also a meditation on the significance of the scarlet letter as a symbol and an exposition of the connection between sin and humanness--one of novel's most important themes. Pearl is frequently identifies the scarlet letter on her mother's bosom with the metaphorical(and in this case also literal) lack of sunshine in her mother's life. Pearl has noticed that the other women in town don't wear scarlet letters. But, on a more figurative level, her question suggests that sin--that which the scarlet letter is intended to represent--is an inevitable part of being a mature human being.
3、"Mother," said Pearl, "Was that the same minister that kissed me by the brook?" "Hold thy peace, dear little Pearl!" whispered her mother." We must not always talk in the market-place of what happens to us in the frost."
Analysis: Hester's realization that different rules apply in the marketplace than in the froest has more significant consequences than she realize, making this yet another ironic moment in the text. Hester's statement suggests that plans made in the forest will not withstand the public
scrutiny of fantasy, possibility, and freedom--is not an option in the heart of the Puritan town, where order, prescription, and harsh punishment reign.
Otherwise, I like these sentences:
1、But, on one side of the doorway, and rooted almost at the threshold, was a wild rose-bush, covered, in this month of June, with flowers, which might be imagined to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom, a token that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him.
2、Of an impulsive and passionate nature, she had fortified herself to encounter the stings and deadly stabs of public view, inflicting itself in every variety of insult.
3、The vulgar claimed that symbol was not mere scarlet cloth, colored in an earthly dye-pot, but was red-hot with hell's fire, and could be seen glowing all in flames whenever Hester Prynne walked abroad in the night-time. And WE must say, it burned Hester's bosom so deeply, that perhaps there was more truth in the rumor than our modern doubt may be inclined to admit.
4、Nothing was more remarkable than the instinct as it seemed, with which the child comprehended her loneliness; the destiny that had drawn a circle round about her; the whole peculiarity, in short, of her position in respect to other children.
5、Pearl's beauty was rich and luxuriant and it shined with deep a vivid colors, a bright complexion, eyes possessing intensity both of depth and glow, and hair already of deep, shiny brown, and which, in after years, would be nearly black, There was fire in her and throughout her; she seemed the chance offshoot of a passionate moment.
6、Pearl, that wild and impulsive little girl, stole softly towards him, and taking his hand in the grasp of both her own, laid her cheek against it; a caress so tender, and so careful, that her mother, who was looking on, asked herself, “Is that my Pearl?” Yet she knew that there was love in the child’s heart, although it mostly revealed itself in passion, and hardly twice in her lifetime had been softened by such gentleness as now.
7、They grew out of his heart, and symbolize, it may be, some hideous secret that was buried with him, and which he would have done better to confess during his lifetime.
8、As at the waving of a magician, rose a horrible ghost—rose a thousand ghosts—in many shapes, of death, or more awful shame, all flocking round about the clergyman, and pointing with their finger at his breast!
9、But the sea in those old times, heaved, swelled, and foamed, very much at its own will, or subject only to the wind, with hardly any attempts at regulation by human law.
The husband of a faithless woman 一个妻子不忠的丈夫，译成一个带了绿帽子的丈夫
The long sought regard of woman长期寻觅讨女人的欢心
In this novel, the mainline seems to be around the letter A. Hester is brave enough to face the cruel reality. She is always with a mind of courage. She has been alone with her child for so long, with litter communication. Shame! Hopelessness! Loneliness! Hester has to wear the letter A day after day, seven years as for punishment and ill fame. When a woman has lived through a difficult experience, her character changes a great deal. If she be all tenderness, she will die. If she survives, the tenderness will leave her.

《红字》的读书报告
A Reading Report of The Scarlet Letter The Scarlet Letter is written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, who was an influential American romantic novelist. Many of his works are inspired by Puritan New England, combining historical romance loaded with symbolism and deep psychological themes, bordering on surrealism. The Scarlet Letter makes Hawthorne known all over the world. Puritanism is the practices and beliefs of puritans. The American puritans accept the doctrine and practice of predestination, original sin and total depravity, and limited atonement through a special infusion of grace from God. But due to the grim struggle for living in the new continent, they become more and more practical. American Puritanism is so much a part of the national atmosphere rather than a set of tenets. A prominent characteristic of Hawthorne’s works is describing the dark side of society and humanity, which is inseparable to the influence of Calvinism on people's “original sin” and “intrinsic depravity” theory. Hawthorne is a pione er of psychological novel, who is good at analysis human’s “heart.” He focused on the ethics and the problem of evil, and advocated good deeds and self repentance to wash sin and purify the mind, and thus be saved. However, not all Hawthorne’s works are wrote the dark, at the same time in his expose social evils and human evil, he placed great sympathy for many kind-hearted heroes. As his friend, the great writer Herman Melville noted that Hawthorne's dark kept the dark even more bright dawn ahead. Hawthorne has made a great contribution on the development of American literature. The influence for writers such as Henry James, Faulkner and Malamud is obvious. Hawthorne's works are imaginative and structured. In addition to psychological analysis and description, also use the symbolism. His sophisticated imagery idea added romantic to his works, deepened meaning for his works. But in his works, some places are mysterious obscure. In The Scarlet Letter, he used symbolism skillfully to enhance the artistic effect. So it is regarded as the first symbolic novel in American Literature. Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent things such as ideas and emotions. Symbolism is

中学生的读书笔记六篇
中学生的读书笔记六篇 我们看了一本书名字叫《会跳舞的坎肩儿》，讲述了一只会跳舞的火狐狸红霞为了自己的愿望而牺牲了自己。从前，森林里有只被誉为舞蹈皇后的火狐名字叫红霞，好用有一身排红的皮毛。每当翩翩起舞时，他身上的毛就散发出绚丽的红光如同傍晚的霞光。 如今，森林老了，全身萎缩了。曾经广袤、繁荣的林海取失了，只剩下一小片稀疏的森林，勉强苟延残喘一般过活。唉!不过过去一百年，生机勃勃的森林衰败了。火狐红霞对自己的好朋友文利说自己要去参加全世界的舞蹈大赛。于是，红霞跑到了一家店里藏起来度夜一天，一个非常喜欢跳舞的小女孩来了，于是，红霞决定教她舞蹈红霞经过了三天三夜小女孩终于像红霞一样跳的美丽，可是红霞却不行了她看自己没希望了，于是，把希望全放在了小女孩身上。红霞死了以后，在临死前告诉她让她的妈妈用自己的皮毛做成，马夹。最终完成了红霞的心愿。 我的感受：我要是主人工红霞，我会给一个好心人在夜光下跳一段舞蹈，当他被我的舞蹈吸引住以后，她个人会收养我，他让我参加舞蹈大赛，这样，我不仅被人人成为舞蹈皇后，而且人人见了我都说：你瞧，那只狐狸多厉害身上可以发出红光。 我看到了：火狐红霞被锁在高大的水晶盒里，已经六天
了，六天来，他没有喝一滴水，没有吃一粒粮食，尽管这样，红霞每天晚上，依然会在小羽来之前跳一段舞。读了这一段，让我知道了，动物为了我们人类而牺牲自己，何况我们人类。 昨天，我读完了这本《埃米尔擒贼记》。这本书讲述的是一个居住在德国新城的小男孩，他叫埃米尔。一天，他的妈妈把他送到了车站，并千叮咛万嘱咐他千万别把给外婆的140马克弄丢了。埃米尔点点头，就上了火车。后来，一个小偷趁他熟睡之际，偷走了埃米尔的140马克。埃米尔醒来之后发现并跟踪了他。后来，埃米尔在柏林的一站下了车，开始一路地跟踪他。埃米尔在跟踪的时候，结识一了一些好朋友。在他们的帮助下，埃米尔成功地抓到了小偷，拿回了自己的140马克，另外还收到了柏林警局奖励的1000马克。 读完这个故事后，我还觉得意犹未尽。喇叭男孩古斯塔夫，教授，小礼拜二和一些可爱的侦查员们都令我感到吃惊。没想到柏林的男孩们都这么勇敢，这么有智慧，这么团结。我也明白了，团结的力量是不可忽视的。一个和尚挑水喝，两个和尚没水喝。他们之所以没有水喝了就是因为他们不团结。你如果只想靠自己一个人成功的话，那根本就不可能。现实社会是残酷的，它弊病丛生，什么样的人都有。就像文中的那个小偷一样，他为了140马克，为了欺骗一个小孩子，光是姓名就有三个，真是让人哭笑不得。如果没有教授他们的帮忙，恐怕那个小偷早就逃之夭夭了。我很是佩服柏林的

The Scarlet Letter For long Nathaniel Hawthorne has been considered to be the first great American writer of fiction. His The Scarlet Letter is one of the greatest novels in American literature of the 19th century. This is a story of crime, sin, guilt, punishment and expiation, set in Puritan Bostin during the mid-17th century. Although the story is mainly about Hester Prynne, Arthur Dimmesdale and Roger Chillingworth, during my reading, I am attracted by Hester and Dimmesdale's special child –Pearl. Her particularities are as follows. Pearl inherited her mother's beauty and characteristics. She possessed a ″rich and luxuriant beauty; a beauty that shone with deep and vivid tints; a bright complexion, eyes possessing intensity both of depth and glow and hair already of a deep, glossy brown and which, in after many years, would be nearly akin to black″. No matter what clothes she was in, she was graceful, even if she torn and soiled the clothes during her game. In terms of characteristics, she was determined and rebellious. When she was look down upon and mocked by other children, she angrily and bravely rushed and drove away them; when she was asked in the Governor's hall who made her, she deliberately refused to give the proper answer that her mother had taught her but said that she had not been made at all; when her mother ask her to come to the minister in the forest, she was reluctant to do so and even washing off Dimmesdale's unwelcomed kiss with disfavor. Pearl was so close to nature that she seemed to be a part of it. As an illegitimate child, she had no father beside her. Luckily, she was not only the child of human being, she was also the child of nature – it warmly accepted her as a part of it. Having been kept away by other children, her only playmate was nature, even a stick or a bunch of rags or a flower could become the main character of the drama in her inner world. She dared to seize a shark, melt a jelly fish in the sun and hit pebble to a bird. In the forest, the wild animal took her for their same species, for example, ″A fox started from his sleep by her light footstep on the leaves, looked inquisitively at Pearl, as doubting whether it were better to steal off, or renew his nap on the same spot.

The small shout essay impression after reading The first article: Today I have read a article named ‘A Shoe Pattern’. The article tells about the story of an eighteen years old boy. The boy’s parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning, after breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, the supper is ready. Of course, he never washes his clothes or goes to buy something in the shops. When his father was on busine ss and his mother was ill, he couldn’t do any housework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus! When his mother gave him a shoe pattern and told him to buy a pair of shoes himself. He even left the shoe pattern at home. From the article ,we can know that we should do anything by ourselves, and we should learn to do housework on our own. We should not rely on our parents forever. We are required to share in troubles with our parents. What we should do is to comfort our parents. We should also be very careful. We should be absorbed in the things we are doing. If we are very careless, we couldn’t do anything perfectly. The second article: This article tells about the story of Bill. Bill Masters almost single–handed built up them sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. And nobody could approach him. From the essay I know that we should learn to be hard and creative. We should set Bill as an example, so that we can do well in the future. As a person, we should have the long-term and keen eyes. If we can, we would be successful soon. We are responsible to study hard and well, so that we can have the capital to own our business in the near future. The third article: This essay is a narrative writing. It describes a doctor who works 60 hours a week and takes care of 159 patients a week in the hospital and at his office. The doctor’s name is Nick Petrels. Dr. Petrels has his own TV show. He starts the show with a song and then gives medical advice. He likes to make people smile. And he thinks it’s difficult to make a sick person smile. Medicine and entertainment both try to do the same thing. They try to make people feel good. This article is very vivid and imaged. It tells us a lot. First we should learn to be helpful and friendly. If someone is in trouble, we should stretch our hands to help them. Second, we should be optimistic and hopeful. We should wear smiles every day and learn to make other people smile. I think this is very difficult but it is very useful. Third, our government and doctors should learn to Nick Petrels. They should take

《心流》读书笔记6篇 《心流》读书笔记6篇 品味完一本名著后，相信大家都增长了不少见闻，是时候静下心来好好写写读书笔记了。那么读书笔记到底应该怎么写呢？下面是小编为大家整理的《心流》读书笔记，欢迎大家借鉴与参考，希望对大家有所帮助。 《心流》读书笔记1 最近用三天时间仔细阅读了米哈里.契克森米哈赖的《心流》一书，英文原版名称为“flow”，此书的副标题为“最优心理学体验”。书中的字里行间都蕴含着智慧的光芒，也解答了好多困扰我多年的心理疑问，更是一本能够提升我们生活幸福感的指南。 ”心流”一词指的是我们在做某些事情时，那种全神贯注、投入忘我的状态——在这种状态下，你甚至感觉不到时间的存在，并且在做完这件事之后我们会有一种充满能量并且非常满足的感受。给大家举一些常见的例子可能会帮助我们更好的理解这种体验，其实很多时候我们在做自己非常喜欢、有挑战并且擅长的事情的时候就容易体验到心流，比如爬山、打球、游泳、玩游戏、阅读、演奏乐器还有做自己喜欢的工作的时候。 书中采用了大量的案例来阐述心流理论、进入心流的状态，并从日常生活、休闲娱乐、工作、人际关系等方面，
分析如何进入心流状态，获得最优的体验。下面就选取书中的一些有启发之处与大家分享。 1、为什么幸福感如此的难能可贵？ 幸福如此难能可贵，主要要从人与其他动物的差异说起。其他动物的心灵只能容纳环境中确实存在的，并且与自身切身相关、靠直觉判断的资讯。比如一只饥饿的老虎智能注意到猎物的资讯，而一只吃饱后的老虎则将注意力完全集中在温暖的阳光上面......除了人之外，其他动物都不会自作自受，它们的进化程度还不足以感受悲伤、沮丧这些复杂的情绪，只要没有外在的干扰，它们就能保持自身的和谐稳定，体验到人类所说的“心流”。而人类的神经系统过于发达，这无疑有利于我们的生存，但却也是我们感知更多苦恼的罪魁祸首。也可以说，自然选择出的生理机制只是服务于人类的生存繁衍，从来没有考虑过增加幸福感。 2、是什么在阻碍我们获得幸福感？ 幸福并非只发生在一瞬间，它与运气和概率无关，用金钱买不到，也不能依仗权势强取豪夺，它不受外在事物的操纵，而是取决于我们对外在事物的阐释。对于同一件事，不同的人就会有不同的感受，这就取决于一个人在内心如何阐释这件事。比如同样是遇到堵车，有的人就会变得脾气暴躁，感觉似乎整个世界都崩塌了，毫无耐心的按着喇叭或者破口大骂，虽然这些做法对于解决问题无一点用处，但有些

"Kuan Kung VS Mulan" ---Interpreting the Image of Fa Mulan in The Woman Warrior Abstract: In The Woman Warrior, Kingston reshapes Fa Mulan from a traditional Chinese daughter to a new American woman warrior. The reshaped Mulan is criticized by Frank Chin, who says the rewritten story distorts Chinese classics, depreciates Chinese males and loses Chinese ethnicity. But the author thinks it is the reshaped story that propagates Kingston's feminism and facilitates the communication between Chinese and American culture. And it is the differences in gender and culture identity that cause the debates between Kingston and Frank Chin. However, there are indeed contradictions in the reshaped tale, which shows Kingston's boundedness as a female writer. Keywords: The Woman Warrior, Chinese culture, American culture Main Body: The folk-song-styled poem Mulan Ballad in Northern Dynasty tells a story of Mulan who disguises herself as a male soldier to take her father's place in the conscription army to resist enemies and protect her country. In The Woman Warrior, Kingston mixes the traditional ballad of Mulan with her own experiences in America and endows Mulan new individualistic and feminist characteristics---revolting gender discriminations in Chinese and American culture and asking equality and respect for Chinese Americans. However, the reshaping of Mulan legend triggers a drastic controversy. Male Chinese American writer Frank Chin gave the most furious criticisms, that censure that The Woman Warrior distorts Chinese classics, depreciates Chinese males and loses Chinese ethnicity (Zhang 2010, 51). This debate provoked by different supporters of Frank Chin and Kingston is so furious that it is called "a war between Kuan Kung and Mulan" (Liu 2008, 75). Basing on those arguments between Frank and Kingston, many people show their opinions: some say Kingston tries to shape the "other" image of China and to cater Americans' curiosity. But most eulogize Kingston's way of rewriting Chinese legend, believing that The Woman Warrior brings Chinese American women rights to speak for themselves, dispels the duality of gender and race, enriches the legend of Mulan and promotes the harmonious blending of Chinese and American culture. This paper thinks that Frank Chin's criticisms are one-sided; the reshaping enriches Chinese classics, propagates feminism and also cares for the destiny of Chinese Americans. And the controversy is mainly caused by Kingston and Frank's differences in gender and cultural identity. But there are, indeed, contradictions in the reshaped story, which shows the boundedness of Kingston as a female writer. "When we Chinese girls listened to the adults talk-story, we learned that we failed
