After reading The Thorn Birds, college students have 1000 words. Paper books precipitate people's hearts. A book with profound thoughts is worth reading. A person with empty spirit cannot be called a complete person. It is necessary to enrich his mind with knowledge. You can also refer to the words 1000 given to college students in Reading Thorn Birds and write your own feelings.
The reading experience of Thorn Birds is 1000 words. The reading experience of Thorn Birds for college students is 1000 words. The book opened by the author reads: In the southern hemisphere, there is a bird whose song is more beautiful than all the creatures in the world, but it can only sing if it finds a thorn tree and falls on a branch full of thorns, so that the thorns can pierce its body. From the moment it left the nest, it began its journey to find the thorn tree, until it got its wish and found that the thorn tree was covered with thorns as sharp as needles. At this time, it will fall, and you should choose the sharpest, sharpest and longest thorn. Its body was pricked by a sharp thorn, the pain was unbearable, and its life was dying. It began to sing, which made all the singing birds feel ashamed. Larks and nightingales, who have always claimed to be the king of songs, are also eclipsed in front of singing. Soon, the blood of the thorn bird ran out, and the most beautiful song came to an abrupt end. However, the whole world is listening quietly, and God is smiling in the sky. All the people and birds who heard this song are paying their last respects to the Thorn Birds, because we all know that the best things can only be bought with deep pain and great innovation.
Maybe this passage is not only about Meggie, but there is no doubt that all her songs are painful. Because of the poverty at home, she had to bear more hardships early. She has only one doll (which was broken by her brother). She has no beautiful clothes. Because she was poor, she was scolded and even whipped by a nun at school. From the day she was born, pain was pierced into her life by thorns.
But her greatest pain is her feelings. Her person is excellent. No matter her quality or appearance, that person loves her equally. There is no obstacle between them except one-he is a priest.
If you get married, you may still get divorced. If you are poor, you may be able to overcome it. If you don't love her, you may be able to work hard. But he is a priest. How can she take him away from God? I don't know if the sentence "A woman's greatest misfortune is to fall in love with someone she can't love" is true or not, but Meggie's love for Ralph is really unfortunate. But can you say that she is wrong in love? He greeted her family after they set foot on Australian soil. He gave her father's love and brother's care. He took her to the market. He taught her to ride a horse. He cares about all her unhappiness and troubles. When she first met him, she was only ten years old. He accompanied her from girl to girl. She has no chance to love others, and others are so eclipsed in front of him.
But he is still a priest, and they will never get married. He left, and she married a man who she thought looked like him, a shearing worker. She followed the shearers to another country she couldn't adapt to, where she couldn't see her husband often, let alone have a home of her own, and didn't even have a penny on her. But no matter how hard it was, she put up with it. She doesn't want to leave. Although her husband was so strict with her, she persisted with her unique tenacity.
But Ralph came, and the crazy and sweet life in heaven changed everything. Meggie left her husband and returned to Drogheda with some of the things she finally got from Ralph. For Meggie, this is a happy time. When she was a little girl, she longed to be a mother. Her first child was born in an unpopular state. This is her husband's child, but this is Ralph's child, a child almost like Ralph. So tall, fit, elegant and kind, how much she loves this child, even more than Ralph, but it is such a child who has embarked on the same road as his father-he is going to be a priest.
What she stole from God in all aspects returned to God, but it didn't stop there. Her son died. When he finally finished his eight-year college life, he took advantage of his vacation in Greece and was swallowed up by the sea to save two girls. Meggie was fifty-three years old at this time, but she endured the pain again and handled things calmly and rationally. Just to find her son's body, she had to tell Ralph the secret she swore to keep-that son is yours, too.
The last song of Thorn Birds was beautiful, but it was sung in the most painful time. While enduring the pain, it sang a song that made God smile. Is the song really that attractive? Or life itself is like this: if you can't stand it, then you can't survive, and when you stand it, life goes on.
Ralph-the repression of piety and ambition
Maybe some people don't like this priest. Admittedly, his personality is not perfect. Faced with13 million pounds, he betrayed Meggie and Cleary's family. Although he took good care of their lives afterwards, and although the family might fall into other traps without his takeover, he seized their property anyway.
Ralph's character is full of contradictions to some extent. He believes in God, and even if he breaks his oath, he dares to repent before God, although perhaps this confession may completely destroy him. From this point of view, he is devout. But on the other hand, his heart is full of utilitarianism. He is eager for promotion and upward mobility. It is for this goal that he abandoned Meggie. This seems a little incomprehensible to me, because I have always felt that piety and utility are incompatible. I can't imagine a monk receiving money while chanting. But no matter how I don't understand, this contradiction is unified on Ralph, and makes him fully alive: I am a priest, but at the same time, I am also a person. As a priest, he is devout, and as a man, he is ambitious. However, you can't have your cake and eat it, so this also doomed Ralph's pain.
When he met Meggie, he fell in love with the little girl at first sight. To be exact, he fell in love with her. This is not pedophilia. To be exact, Ralph fell in love with Meggie's feminine qualities: tenacity, patience, tolerance and elegance. ...
This kind of love is ignored by everyone, including Ralph himself, because Meggie is just a child, but he is disgusted with Meggie's growth and her growing body because he knows that when she grows up, he will leave.
To tell the truth, I like this role very much, because I have always liked repressed feelings and helpless pain. Ralph loves Meggie, but he can't say it. Her bedroom can only be described over and over again, and can only be expressed by a father to his daughter or his younger brother to his sister. Moreover, as Meggie grew up, his pain deepened, and even when Meggie showed his love to him, he shook his head and refused. Meggie finally married someone else as she wished, and what she got was not imaginary redemption, but greater pain, which was caused by herself.
There has always been a joke that my girlfriend is married and the groom is not me. Abandoned people are painful, but if this abandonment is caused by themselves, what should we say and deserve it? Yes, he deserved it, but can we say that Ralph deserved it?
Maybe Ralph really deserved it. Who made him both ambitious and pious and fell in love with a woman? This feeling has been written off and on. At first, I thought I should write at least 10 thousand words, because it brought so many feelings and shaped such excellent characters. I really started writing, only to find that I couldn't find a sentence to express my feelings. Especially for Ralph, how can I tell his frustration and pain? Is it the fault of religion? I can simply boil down to a slogan that we have read a thousand times: Does religion suppress human nature? I can't, although I did think so at first: a priest can only pour all his feelings into a little girl because of his religion. But as the plot unfolds, I know this idea is too superficial.
Mary Carson-Crazy Love and Hate
In my opinion, in an excellent book, there must be several people who can't evaluate it. They hover between good and bad, and you can't even point out for sure that they are gray. On the surface, such people are the same as ordinary people, and we can't say whether it is good or bad, at least I can't. However, they are different from us. They are crazier than ordinary people. Their madness is often the key factor to promote the plot. Just like their personalities, their madness can't be defined.
Mary Carson is crazy. She has no background or aristocratic background, but she has tens of millions of property when she is old. Although her success is largely due to a woman's talent, she won't achieve anything if she doesn't go all out.
History books only play down her success. She didn't appear many times, but she was impressive every time. I believe there is no age limit for love, but when I saw Mary in her sixties falling in love with Ralph at the age of twenty-eight, my eyes widened. She hates her age and follows Ralph and Maggie with envy. Finally, she took revenge. This revenge was carried out after her death, but it changed the lives of Ralph and Meggie. A will that only Ralph knows, as long as he publishes it, will soon have13 million pounds, and he will immediately embark on his official career and occupy a place in the church, but if he hides it, then this13 million yuan will still belong to Meggie's family-it should have been theirs.
Do you doubt that Satan loves Christ? I don't doubt it. This is a sentence in Mary's suicide note, put in brackets, so outrageous but so impressive.
Why Satan always opposes Christ, why Satan always tries to make Christ suffer, because he loves him. ...
Mary loves Ralph, madly in love, so she wants him to suffer forever.
Writing here, I can't help but think of two paragraphs in Peking Man, which was extremely popular in new york ten years ago: If you love him, send him to new york, because it is heaven; If you hate him, send him to new york, because it's hell.
Naturally, I have never been to new york, and I don't know what it's like there. But from the analysis of the novel and the proletarian education I received since I was a child, this is a society where money is supreme (don't mention the current situation in China to me). In that era when money was used to speak, money was the source of everything, including pain and happiness.
Ralph got a lot of money and realized his dream, so he went to heaven; Ralph betrayed Meggie in order to get the money, and there was an eternal estrangement between them, so they went to hell.
Let the people I love taste heaven and hell. I don't know if this is because Mary hates more than love. All I know is that she succeeded. Although Meggie's family, including Meggie himself, don't think this is anything. But Ralph was still condemned by his conscience-he would rather they were angry with him than take revenge on him.
How to summarize Mary's madness? Maybe she's not crazy. Her only mistake is that she is still beating an active young heart in an old body. ...
label
Perhaps, I should also talk about Fiona, who is calm and wise, Frank, who is rebellious and teased by fate, and Justine, who is eccentric, intelligent and seemingly strong but fragile, especially the latter. Her bold pride always gives me a feeling of love and hate, but I can't say much because of this.
Looking back at the home page again, I found that it was not even a post-reading feeling, but simply repeated the experience and personality of the characters.
I always think that the most painful feeling is helplessness, especially the helplessness you have caused yourself. This book also gives me this feeling. Your misfortune is caused by yourself, just like the thorn bird, it hurts because of the thorn it is looking for.
Perhaps, some people will say: how can you sing a song that even God laughs without pain? But don't forget, it was the last song before death. Just like human beings, there may be no joy without pain, but pain is always pain.
The thorn bird 1000 words after reading the thorn bird 1000 words after reading the college students 2 It took a long time to finish reading this book, not because it was too long, but because the seemingly calm narrative in the book was unbearable. At this point, I understand that I will never be as calm and cruel as a writer. When writing a novel, I was overwhelmed by my feelings at the moment I started writing.
The happiest time is also the time when pain comes. Just like the thorn bird pouncing on the sharp thorn, it is also the time when she sings the most beautifully.
Fiona is the daughter of a noble, born out of wedlock. Frank's father is a famous politician, but he loves Faye, but he can't marry her. Fei was abandoned by his family and arranged by his father to marry Paddy, a shearing worker. After marriage, she was indifferent to Paddy and her children. She buried herself in heavy housework, didn't say a word every day and worked like a top. She can have children for Paddy and be tired, but she won't love him. She only loves Frank and Frank's father. She has been living in the illusion of happiness in her early years. It was not until Paddy was burned to death that she suddenly found herself deeply in love with him. Before he died, she never said, and she never knew.
Some love is so inexplicable, just like Guo Fu in The Condor Heroes. It was not until she married Yeleshi that she knew that she loved Yang Guo. She was angry at not getting his love and turned against him. We always think we are thorough, but we are fools to stick to our own judgment.
Fei's daughter Meggie was ignorant when she was a child, although there were times of pain, such as being beaten by Sister Agatha when she was studying in a church school, and being forced to break up with her little friend Teresa and escape from Frank, which made her deeply miserable. However, at that time, she had real happiness, just like the arrival of Agnes, knowing Ralph and feeding little Hal, Meggie felt the mercy of God. Only when Ralph was betrayed by greed and power to Mary's dead soul and the Catholic Church did Meggie's life fall into bottomless darkness. "Meggie, I sold you for fifteen million silver coins," Ralph said. Said to Meggie in rose-gray clothes. He said bitterly, I love you, Meggie, but I am a priest and I will only be loyal to God. However, Meggie has always loved Ralph. She married Luke, a bit like Ralph, just to have a child like Ralph. The lost love has not been made up by Luke; Accustomed to being single, Luke never takes Meggie as his wife. At best, he is obsessed with her beauty. What fascinates Luke most is not Meggie's beauty, but her money. This is the initial reason why he approached Meggie. The reason why two people are together has nothing to do with love. After that, her attitude towards life was not so much love as helplessness.
When she got married, she didn't tell Ralph that when he returned to Meggie's home in Drogheda Farm, he was in great pain. When Meggie gave birth to a baby (Luke's baby, named Justin), Luke didn't even come to see her. Father Ralph suddenly appeared at this moment, accompanied Meggie through the pain. Meggie looked at him at this time, there seems to be no love or hate. In fact, Meggie still loves him. She only loves him all her life. But she has a strong self-esteem, and just like her mother, she hides her feelings deeply. It doesn't mean love, and it doesn't mean I hate crying.
After giving birth, with the help of kind lady Anne, Meggie went to an island for a holiday. In a quiet atmosphere, she began to think about how to go in the future. "Let's live with Luke. Ralph will always be a dream. " She said to herself. But just when she decided to forget Ralph, he came to the island to find her. She didn't tell Ralph that on the island, she had Ralph's child-Dane-a child exactly like Ralph, which seemed to be all she wanted, but in fact it was only a meager comfort. She said Ralph belonged to God and she couldn't have it, but she finally stole something from God. The more she likes Dane, the more she shows her loneliness and pity, the fragility of love and the vanity of losing her lover. Her mother Fei said, "No one can steal anything from God. Stolen things must be returned. " . One day, you will lose Dane. "When he grew up, Dane began to worship Ralph the first time he met him, and finally decided to become a priest. Meggie was heartbroken, but he went anyway. On the Greek coast, Dane died trying to save several drowning women. Only when Meggie asked Ralph to help her find Dane's body and take him back to Australia did Ralph know Dane was his child. A few hours after presiding over Dane's funeral, Cardinal Ralph stopped breathing. At the last minute, he didn't think of Meggie. The source of his pain and happiness, he only loved one person in his life. His life struggling between love and power is finally over and he is free.
After Ralph and Dane died, Meggie was truly liberated. Just like after Paddy's death, the old fee also rested in peace. At this time, the song is the loudest, and I am particularly sad because of the loss of my loved ones.
Also sad for Dane's death is Dane's sister Justine. Originally, she planned to go to Greece for a holiday with Dane, but she went to London to accompany Ryan. She felt that if she was not so selfish and stayed with her brother Dane in order to be with the person she loved, his brother would not die. This woman, who looks cold and rude but has strong feelings, ran away from Ryan. She feels that her only love is her brother, and no one can replace him. Neither can Ryan.
Ryan went to Drogheda, Australia to find Meggie, hoping Meggie could help him convince Justin to stay with him instead of going back to Drogheda. He said, "Justine can't be satisfied by ordinary people, Mrs. O 'Neill. If Justine chooses me, she can still perform on the stage, which Drogheda can't give her. "At this time, he looked at her firmly, just like looking at an opponent." I'm here to ask you to make sure she chooses me. It seems cruel to say so, but I need her more than you do. "When Meggie said there was nothing wrong with Justine staying in Drogheda, Reina said," Justine is so curious that she will feel lonely in Drogheda. "He knows Zhu Siting better than her mother. But when Zhu Siting said that he had received an unusual letter from his mother, his heart sank. He thought Meggie did consider this matter leisurely, but instinctively told him that this was the beginning of her action, but it was not the kind of action he liked. Meggie began to play tricks on his daughter, and Gendereau Haida came back to make the dynasty pass on for a long time. He began to persuade Zhu Siting to go home. He began to suspect that maybe her mother was right and she was wrong. His eyes suddenly became cold, as if it was difficult for his mind to focus on something different from what he said.
She resolutely carried out her plan to leave England. In the chaos, someone used this power to make a phone call, but not to persuade her to change her mind; Ryan didn't even know she was leaving. He just came to invite her to be the hostess at a party held in his house in Lane Park. "Good girl, please! Do not cry! Come and be my hostess! " He said. Finally, Zhu Siting said, "Did I tell you that I want to go back to my hometown in Drogheda forever?" He took out a cigarette from his cigarette case; Those big hands neither hesitate nor tremble, but use them flexibly. "You know very well that you didn't tell me." He said.
He will never stop her from leaving. He hasn't figured out what is best for Zhu Siting.
When Zhu Siting left, she noticed her appearance for the first time in her life to please him.
He didn't seem to look carefully; At least he didn't mention her mental fatigue or possible illness or even her luggage. This is nothing like him. After a while, she began to experience the feeling that the end of the world was coming. He is quite different from his usual appearance.
It can help her eat this meal well and make it a pleasant and interesting thing to recall the past during the trip. As long as she convinces herself that he is worried about her leaving, maybe things will be easy. However, she can't do it. He is not in that mood either. On the contrary, he looked so cold that she felt as if she were sitting with a paper man. I'm really worried that a breeze will blow him away. She had never seen him like this before.
He no longer cares about her clapping for girls; Recently, she has noticed that the frequency of using this word has dropped. He didn't use this foreigner number once this evening.
When Zhu Siting returned to her room, she received a letter from her mother. Meggie suggested that she go back to Ray. She finally understood how Zhu Siting could be happy. At this time, Reina has sent someone to meet Zhu Siting. "Actually, I don't know myself. I need some help." Zhu Siting said to Reina.
"It's not what you think. I know you love me. I can wait. I always believe that patient people will eventually win. "
Reina is much more mature than Zhu Siting. Only with Reina will Zhu Siting be taken care of.
At the end of the story, Zhu Siting married Reina.
This is the most complete love in The Thorn Birds.
"This bird has a thorn in its chest. It follows an unchangeable law. She was stabbed by something whose name was unknown, driven away and died in singing. The moment the thorn pierced, she didn't realize that death was coming. She sang and sang until her life ran out, and she couldn't sing another note. However, when we insert it into our chest, we know. We know very well. However, we still have to do this. We still put thorns in our chests. "
Everyone is in loved one. No matter what the result is.
Colleen mccullough is one of the most influential writers in contemporary Australia, who wrote 1000 for college students. She was born in a family of livestock workers and moved to Sydney at the age of twelve. In the past, this family lived a nomadic life. The advent of The Thorn Birds made more readers know about this great writer.
Thorn bird was originally a rare bird from South America. It got its name because it is good at foraging in thorns and bushes, and its feathers are as bright as burning flames. Legend has it that this bird sings only once in its life, and its song is more beautiful than all the creatures in the world. From the moment she left the nest, she was looking for the thorn tree until she got what she wanted. Then, she plunged into the longest and sharpest thorns and let go of her voice among the wild branches. In the abyss of dying, she is detached ... it is symbolic that the author is named after the thorn bird. Thorn birds symbolize persistent, fearless and sad pursuit. They have been pursuing the best ideals all their lives and finally sacrificed their lives. It also symbolizes the last swan song of life, such as the falling of a meteor. That once-in-a-lifetime beauty is beyond the ordinary beauty in the world.
The Thorn Birds is an Australian family novel. The book is divided into seven parts, each of which is centered on a person, but they are interrelated and echo each other. This book mainly tells the love entanglement between the heroine Meggie and Father Ralph, and describes the story of three generations of Cleary family. As a family novel, there are not many characters in The Thorn Birds, but they are all very individual. This work shows us all wonderful characters.
As a masterpiece, there are many things I can read. Such as the delicate portrayal of the characters' hearts and the vivid description of the environment ... I mainly read the experience of the protagonist Meggie in the article, so I will focus on what I saw and how I felt after reading it! Four-year-old Meggie has a touching power. She is as gentle, beautiful and lovely as her birthday present doll. As the years passed, this shy rose quietly opened. Meggie has a natural motherhood and a special fascination with children. Meggie is like a little mother when she skillfully changes diapers for her younger brothers and sisters. These behaviors attracted Ralph.
Meggie's most touching spiritual strength is also the power of women's permanent beauty-persistence. Ralph is almost all Meggie's dreams, even the purpose of survival. This man planted the seeds of love in Meggie's heart, and her love for Ralph, with the growth day by day, irresistibly sprouted and blossomed. For this love, Meggie exchanged her life. However, the man she fell in love with gave himself to God, and she will never get this man. This is Meggie's sharpest and longest thorn.
As a pure reader, I sigh Meggie's tenacity, a woman can persist so silently! Our real life and the situation in the novel are not exactly the same, but they are all real and cruel. Innocent girl becomes a strong woman and then a great mother. This process really makes countless people feel! Looking back at those married women in life, it is not difficult to find that valuable persistence and tenacity! So I like the tenacious Meggie in the book, the Meggie who pursues hard and has no regrets!
Classic love always ends in tragedy. As said at the end of the book: When we pierce thorns into our chests, we know clearly that we just want to turn a swan Song Like into a thorn bird. Finally, I want to say to all teachers: true love and all good things need to be exchanged at unimaginable prices.
