The feelings of《The Unquiet Grave》
The book I have read during the winter vacation was The Unquiet Grave, written by M.R.James, who was famous for writing scary stories and was respected by millions and millions readers.The book The Unquiet Grave contains five parts, and each part in this book tells us a scary story.It has no relationships in the content of each article, but all of the stories’ setting are totally the same—they all happened in Cambridge University, each of them were connected by a corpse which was resurge strangely, frightening the life out of the role of each chapter, causing a great many troublesome problems.I was so impreed by the first two scary stories.Mr.Williams received the painting that he was so interested in.after finishing writing a letter one night, Mr.Williams occasionally found a figure was in the middle of the lawn in the expensive painting, crawling on hands and knees, moving towards to the unknown house.The next day, Mr.Williams invited his friends Nisbet to come and discu the mystery about the ―unpleasant figure‖.Luckily, Mr.Williams found the details about the unknown house—actually, it was a church named Anningly; and knew a little about the mystery of the Francis Family who were living there in twelfth-century.With the help of Doctor Green, Mr.Williams went a step further knowing the history of the Francis Family.Now, the ―unpleasant figure‖ was in the museum, even though visitors now watched it so carefully.The second story was happened in an inn in Suffolk years ago.A young man named Thomson, coming here and searching peaceful surroundings for reading.One day, he wanted to go
to the four rooms next to the room Mr.Thomson lived.When he came to the first room, he became nervous.It was something in the bed that was moving and shaking.And he was sure it could not be a rat because the figure of a person under the blanket was so clear, the shape of the head, the body….Before he left the inn, he lied to the owner of the inn in order to have a chance to go upstairs to check out what it was on earth in the next room.When he opened the door, he found it was only a scarecrow, but it was no longer an amusement, the scarecrow could shake his head himself, moving on the floor freely….Later, Mr.Betts told Mr.Thomson the truth.At the same time, I knew it also.It is really a good book, not only its content, but also the author’s thought in the book.I have ever said, ―An excellent book is that can bring readers into the scenes of the story, and makes reader thinks a lot.‖ I think it can not only teach us a lot, but it will let us know what scary story is.I am certain I will be like Profeor Parkins, seeing a scarecrow in a field late on a winter will make me sleeple for a whole week, or a month.
The feelings of 《Silas Marner》
George Eliot was one of the most famous novelists in Britain.Silas Marner is one of her most admired and loved works, in which she remind us to cherish the most valuable thing in the world –love.Though it was a short story about a linen weaver and an orphan Eppie , it is popular and moving.In the early years of the nineteenth century, the numbers of linen weavers in the English countryside was increasingly growing .The weavers were weak, pale, and hunchbacked because of years of hard work, so the villages all regarded them as wireds.Living in loneline and quietne, Marner worked day and night at his loom in a lonely cottage near the village of Raveloe.Marner’s past was full of sadne.Once he lived in Raveloe and belonged to a religious group.His best friend, William, who he trusted most, framed a case against Marner and at last he was driven out of Raveloe.Low in spirit, he didn’t trust his friends any more, and shut himself away in his cottage, starting to live in a dark world.Once a person lost his belief in something that he trusted very much before, he had to find another thing that he could believe in to support his mental life .As he spent more time in working, he earned more and more gold coins.Gradually his gold became his reason for living, almost religion.He treasured them so much not because his was greedy about money, but he was so lonely that he could only regard money as his friends.He was rich ,but he had never shown it off in front of others or do some bad deeds by using his gold, which reflected that in fact he had a kind heart .The Squire Ca was the most important and rich person in Raveloe, who had two sons—Dustan and Godfrey.Godfrey fall in love with Molly and was cajoled by Dunstan into
marrying her .It was not long before he found he didn’t love Molly at all and regretted marrying her.He was afraid to tell his father about this matter because Squire Ca would be angry and disinherit him and for the purpose of keeping it a secret he had to give money to Dunstan, who was always asking for money from others.One day when he paed by the house of Marner, his greed caused him to steal the gold coins .Then he disappeared in the village.At that time, Slias didn’t know his fate began to change.In The days after his gold was stolen, he had nothing to forward to because the only thing that made his life worth living had gone.But one night, he found a gift that god sent him near his house --a little girl.Her mother happened to be Molly, who was Godfrey’s first wife.No one knew the parents of the baby and Godfrey couldn’t bring himself to say the truth, so she became an orphan.Considering she would be as lonely as him, Silas felt sympathy about her, and decided to adopt her.He named her Eppie .from that time on, he had been living a totally different life.When he had another reason for living, his days became happy and full.At last, it turned out to be that it was Dunstan who stolen the money, but Marner didn’t care, for he had found the real gold in his life—love.Eppie’s real parents went to her and promised her a lot of money, she refused to leave Silas to live a more comfortable life,which gave all of them a big surprise .It was a world mastered by love not by money.
