1 "Childhood" Reading Notes

Everyone has experienced childhood. Childhood is wonderful, childhood is happy, childhood is happy, childhood is worth recalling... But Gorky's childhood was so terrifying and miserable that people dare not recall it.

Poor Gorky lost his father at the age of 3 and lost his kind father's love. He followed his mother and grandmother to a small dyeing workshop owned by his grandfather. From then on, a dark life came to Gorky. My grandfather had a very bad temper and often beat his grandmother and Gorky, which cast a shadow on Gorky's young mind.

Later, Gorky met his close friend Xiao Gzigan. The two talked about everything and formed a deep friendship. However, the good times did not last long, and poor little Gypsy was killed by two vicious uncles. Gorky lost his friend in this way. Yakov and Mikhail are devils. They beat their wives and argue every day to divide the family property. There is no unity between the brothers. Their two sons, Sasha, have also been taught bad things and tease Gorky everywhere. After that, Gorky met the carpenter "Good Things" and became good friends. As a result, Gorky was driven away by his grandfather, and Gorky got a stepfather who was very fierce and often beat people. A few years later, his grandmother who loved him most died, and his mother also died, so he was kicked out by his grandfather and made a living by picking up garbage.

The grandfather Kashlin of this "family of idiots" is grumpy, surly, greedy and selfish; his two uncles Mikhail and Yakov are also rough, selfish philistines, and even their children are with them. Enthusiastically participated in one. Only his kind, kind, and affectionate grandmother gave him the slightest comfort living in this environment.

I like the grandmother in the article. She seems to have a special affinity and she has endless stories to tell. And she loves her children so much. Even for the two big villains, Mikhail and Yakov, she did not ask her grandfather to punish them severely. How could a kind person like to have a war at home? Faced with her grandfather's merciless beatings and scoldings, she endured them again and again.

Except for some education and friendship, Gorky’s childhood was nothing worth remembering! In joy, in sorrow, in the intertwining of love and hate, his childhood passed by in such a hurry. In reading, I discovered his love, pondered his hate, and tasted the light in the darkness.

We now have plenty of food and clothing, we have everything we want, and we are the "pearl in the palm" and "darling" of our parents. How can it be compared with Gorky's miserable childhood? The difference between the ages is this difference. One is paradise, the other is paradise. It's hell; one is full of sunshine, and the other is full of darkness. Our current childhood is hard-won!

Childhood is full of joy, childhood is full of warmth, childhood is a camera worth remembering, childhood love fills the heart, teachers enthusiastically impart knowledge, students discuss with each other, we are like small saplings, accepting Moistened by the spring breeze and rain and dew - absorb more and better knowledge and thrive. In this ocean of knowledge, we end our happy childhood and begin to mature.

We live in a socialist country full of humanitarianism. There are no whips, no fists, no hatred, no greed, no surliness, and no endless atrocities and scandals. Here People are kind, pure, and optimistic, so our childhood is full of happiness and joy. Gorky was able to become a famous figure in such a difficult environment. We must also study hard and realize our ideals in life.

2. Thoughts after reading "Childhood"

Maxim Gorky's "Childhood" is world-famous. On a very ordinary Sunday afternoon, I opened it. My emotions rise and fall along with the lines of black Song fonts in the book...

The painful childhood life of the protagonist Alyosha moved me: his father lost his father at the age of four, and he followed his grief-stricken mother and kind-hearted mother. My grandmother went to the house of my grandfather, the boss of Xiaoranfang who was on the verge of bankruptcy, but she was often beaten severely by the violent grandfather. But his kind grandmother protected him everywhere.

At his grandfather's house, he met many "quiet" relatives, including two selfish, greedy uncles Mihailo and Yakov who were desperate to separate the family, and two uncles named Sara. cousin. The simple "Little Gypsy" (Ivan) who loved Alyosha deeply used his arm to block the whip his grandfather hit on Alyosha every time, even though he would be red and swollen from the whip. But he was so strong that he was crushed to death while helping his second uncle Yakov carry the cross...

Alyosha spent his childhood in a typical Russian philistine family. : Greed, cruelty, ignorance; intrigues between fathers and sons, brothers, and husbands and wives; constant quarrels and fights over trivial matters over property... But in this dark family, there is a hard-working, strong, and kind grandmother. She often told Alyosha pleasant fairy tales, and subtly taught him to be a person who did not want to surrender to ugly phenomena.

Alyosha’s childhood was dark, just like his family. There were too many cruel things happening around him, and sometimes even he himself couldn't believe that such a thing could happen. But fortunately, I have my grandmother, the spiritual support of the whole family. Alyosha also knew many other people: several tenants after moving into the new house, the third young master next door, and so on. Alyosha vaguely understood some truths from some "strange" behaviors of his family.

Compared with Alyosha, our childhood was splendid and colorful; there was no trouble or pain, and it was even more carefree. There are so many children who don’t even know what “beating” is because we have never experienced what it feels like to be beaten or whipped with a whip. That may be an unimaginable pain. Of course, in addition to this, there are very few greedy and vicious things in our lives such as intrigues between family members and fights over property. There will be no unthinkable "horror incidents" such as cruelly torturing an innocent person to death for no reason.

Oh my god, in comparison, our childhood is very different from Alyosha's. We live in a honeypot every day, soaked in sweet water, piled with golden money... How happy we are! We never have to think about food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is enough for adults to worry about it, and it is not our turn.

But with these, we are not satisfied. We always want more. Because, in our eyes, it is so easy for adults to make money, it seems effortless. How naive we are. Indeed, we don't have to go to the "human world" alone at the age of eleven like Alyosha. But after reading "Childhood", we should regret the luxury we once had, we should no longer waste it, and we should learn to cherish it.

Then, let’s start from now. We no longer are extravagant and wasteful; we start to think about our elders and be considerate of them; we should start to satisfy our own happy life. For the future, for the future, for the day when we go to the "human world".

"Childhood" Gorky

Author introduction:

Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) was born In the city of Nizhny Novgorod in central Russia, his father died when he was a child. Because his hardworking and kind-hearted mother could not support him, she had to send him to his grandfather's house to spend his childhood. He only went to school for three years. He entered the society at the age of eleven and began a life of self-reliance. He worked as an apprentice, porter, night watchman, baker, etc. At the age of sixteen, he came to Kazan alone and entered the "Social University". In the battle with his destiny, he went deep into the bottom of Russian society, came into contact with all classes and characters, and experienced the hardships of life, thus constantly... Enrich its social knowledge and life experience.

From 1905 to 1907, Gorky actively participated in the great proletarian revolution, and wrote the novel "Mother" in 1906. "Mother" truly reflects the turbulent workers' movement in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century and shows the struggle process of the Russian working class from spontaneous to conscious. It was praised by Lenin as a "very timely book". After the October Revolution, Gorky wrote his most famous autobiographical trilogy: "Childhood", "In the World", and "My University".

Content introduction:

Golky's autobiographical trilogy was first published in 1913. It is not only the author's autobiography from childhood to youth, but also a universally recognized art treasure. His personal life experience paints a vivid historical picture of Russia's social and political life in the late 19th century. The prototype of the protagonist Alyosha in the work is Gorky himself. This image is a portrayal of the author's early life and a typical example of the Russian people, especially the working people at the bottom of society, who have gone through hardships and moved towards a new life.

Excerpts of good words:

Suddenly, erratically, full of interest, shining

Excerpts of good words:

Volga River On the blue water, an orange-red ship is swimming upstream, while golden leaves are slowly drifting down the river.

I am very afraid of my grandfather. I always feel that his green eyes are staring at me all the time.

The music was passionate and filled with sadness, as if it were a river rushing down from the mountains, surging in the room.

People often hear their singing and stop to look at them from under the window. The upturned faces remind me of unwashed dirty dishes.

Good excerpt:

"Oh, you people...!" He often sighed suddenly like this, and he didn't know what he was sighing about. The ending of "Human..." is always drawn out by him.

Gizzard walked to the middle of the kitchen with a red face, beating like a ball of flame: his hands were raised high, his steps were so fast that it was difficult to distinguish, and his shirt was shaking, glowing brightly like burning. . He danced with abandon, as if if you opened the door and let him out, he could dance all over the city! Everyone was infected by him and started to tremble with him.

During the singing, my grandmother sometimes moved forward, sometimes retreated, sometimes whirled, and her youth returned to her in an instant, making her appear as beautiful as a blooming flower. Everyone is attracted to her.

My thoughts:

The author wrote the dirty environment that the protagonist was in at that time very well, and he was very skillful in the language description. It makes the article vivid and immersive, and gives people a deeper understanding of beauty and ugliness as well as people's complex emotions.
