了不起的盖茨比英文读后感1

I have heard of the famous novel The Great Gatsby for many years. However,until recently have I got the time and mood to read it. As soon as I finishreading, I find my previous unwarranted assumption of it totally wrong.

This is a story about Gatsby and his pursuit for the ‘American dreams’。During the World War One, the poor soldier Gatsby fell in love with an upperclass girl named Daisy. But due to the wide gap between them, Daisy decided tomarry Tom, a man of her class, instead of Gatsby. Broken-hearted Gatsby thenheld the conviction that money was of the greatest importance. He stronglybelieved in the ‘American dreams’， which as we all know, advocates that one canachieve whatever he or she likes through continuous efforts. He strived for fiveyears to become a millionaire and bought a villa near Daisy’s to attract her. Hewas too addicted to his fantasy to realize that Daisy was no longer the lovelygirl she used to be. Eventually, he was killed because of her crime.

After reading it, something reverberates in my heart. I can’t help thinkingof the theme Fitzgerald trying to convey. One thing may be the lonely void ofpeople’s spiritual world. I am deeply impressed by chapter 3, where a vividdescription of a party is given. There were beautiful girls, drunk men, andboisterous crowds there, but none of them perceived the pointless of their livesand the barren of their minds. To see this phenomenon deeper, there were

1

twocircumstances underlying it. The first is the lack of dreams. Some people,especially the people of the upper class, lived an aimless life. They wastedtheir time and money and took an indifferent attitude towards life. They chasedfor temporary ecstasy but lost their identity in eternity, namely Daisy and Tom.The second is the misleading of dreams. Some others like Gatsby, bravely pursuedtheir dreams, yet going to a diverged way unconsciously. They might mix up theconcept of a richer life and a happier life, viewing a higher social state and apeaceful fulfilled life as equality. Unfortunately, when they were busy chasingtheir dreams, everything changed with time. When they were anxious about theto-gets, they ignored what they had already had and lost the alert to theconstant changes. The excellent use of symbolization illustrates this ideaperfectly. The imagery of ‘green light’ is the most important symble whichoccurred three times in the novel. The green-light’s obscure in the mistindicates the dim of Gatsby’s dreams.

As far as I am concerned, this story can serve as a reminder for us. Tolive a meaningful life, we should carefully choose some dreams to pursue. And inthe process of fulfilling our dreams, we should always be concious about what wereally desire. Anyhow, only by pursuing the proper dreams can we finally get tothe deep springs of happiness.

The Great Gatsby is the work of Francis Scott Fitzgerald, an American poetand dreamer, published in 1925. This time, it is the work of Li Jihong, atalented

translator.

In the novel, Gatsby was born in a poor family and fell in love with Daisywhen he was young. However, he was unable to marry Daisy because of poverty. Thereality made Gatsbys fantasy in his heart disillusioned for the first time.Daisy is a very realistic rich woman, and she immediately married another richbusinessman Tom. Later Gatsby became a millionaire by his own efforts and luck.Gatsby was still nostalgic for his former lover after he made his fortune. Hejust wanted to see the green light at Daisys Wharf and set his home by thesea.

At the beginning of the novel, the author uses a lot of ink to describeGatsbys scene of entertaining guests and friends in the mansion, as well as hisfeelings after meeting Daisy again. Although Daisys husband Tom was adamantagainst it, they were still recklessly sweet. Just as they were about to walk tothe \"happiness Avenue\Daisy accidentally hit a passer-by while driving, whichresulted in the death of passers-by. The authors use of such dramatic colors isreally boastful. Gatsby was willing to give up his life and wealth for daisy. Insharp contrast to this, Daisy and Tom are selfish and indifferent. Theydeliberately excuse themselves to go away from home and blame Gatsby for all theaccidents. Once again, the reality coldly shattered his illusory and almostnaive dream.

At first glance, the title of \"amazing\" Gatsby, but at the beginning, I hadbeen thinking hard. I just couldnt figure out where he was? Its only after a lotof aftertaste that we have an epiphany.

Gatsby is a great man. His greatness lies in his simple and simple view oflove. He thinks that love is the world of two people. Gatsby can live a rich andupper class life from poverty to wealth, but he is not moved by money and fame.All his purposes are only to meet Daisy again until his life ends in tragedy.Gatsbys greatness lies in his wish I want to exchange my life for Daisys life.Knowing that we cant do it, I applaud Gatsbys courage again!

\"The Great Gatsby\" is such a story of \"the grandiose age, the lastclassical love dream\" with tragic color!

Summer order. Just finished reading \"the Great Gatsby\after reading it. To be honest, I dont really understand the meaning ofit. Maybe I dont know enough about the American dream and the jazz age.

But I still felt the infinite sadness revealed in the novel. At thebeginning, I was intoxicated with gold. The lively party scene was in sharpcontrast with the funeral of Gatsby that no one except the hero was willing toattend. Even Daisy, the only important person in Gatsbys heart, never sent atelegram to send a flower. How sad!

I can only write some miniature of Gatsby and the world I saw. Gatsby is afool who is loyal to love. He used to be a self disciplined man, but in order toget Daisy, he would not hesitate to walk outside the rules and laws to makehimself rich. It

seems that Daisy can choose him!

Toms arrogance and even the people who attended the party were still fullof insults to Gatsby. Daisy chose a rich and powerful man as the marriage objectamong many suitors (even if she didnt love him so much). The shock andalienation after hearing Gatsbys moneys coming were the choice of those hatefulupper class people for that era -- money and power.

At the end of the story, he was misunderstood and shot in his own yard. Noone came to see him off. Even Daisy didnt come. In the end, wealth and love areempty dreams. How disappointing!

Maybe Gatsby, who has dreams in his heart and has been struggling hard, isamazing!

At the end of the novel:

So we continue to strive forward, sailing against the current, being pushedback until we return to the past.

Good evening, Mr. Gatsby.

In this article, the hero that gatsby is a unique thought of the people, healso have Platonic love. He put himself as the son of god, he thought he shouldbe god's career service, his pursuit of a \"vast, secular, ostentation ofbeauty\imagine himself become Christ's character. Seventeen, hedecided to change name, from the original James gates to jay gatsby, jay gatsbyis said to be English Jesus, God ` s boy pronunciation variation. But the ironyis that, from the moment he changed his name, he began to pursue the so-calledbeauty and kindness, also began his tragic life. He saw Daisy buchanan as hepursues the incarnation of beauty. When he saw her, he knew that she had put hisideal and his life together. He knew his heart to heart with god, must besingle-minded, never heart side wu chi. When he kissed her for the first time,\"she is just like a flower bloom for him, and the embodiment of this ideal isdone.\" On Daisy, gatsby's dream became flesh and blood. He desire and Daisytogether to realize their dreams.

However, Daisy cannot act as the role. She is a just a miss the bourgeoisiefor the highest goal in life, no thoughts, there is no sentiment, shallow false,bored, nothing to do. She never to realize gates than his dream to sacrificetheir own vested interests. While gatsby himself could not achieve their dreams,of course, his idea is too unreal.

I felt sorry for gatsby, he is so single-minded, but in the end was hurt bytheir favorite woman. Of course he is praiseworthy in some places. He can readthe love is beautiful, and not like most people associate love and interests.But he really misled by his ideal, he did not see time and occasion, heshouldn't be on the right people also is reluctant to part with the pastmemories after married. And Daisy this person too vain, too greedy. To someextent, gates than the final fate has a lot to do with her.

Recently read \"the great gatsby, a story of hegemony set up dawn. The northAmerican continent, is hundred years ago, the economic development of the trainsped forward; Friction machines roar, but also too much to hide a moment of theheart. The book, that history is a little mark.

Investigate its likelihood is a person's tragedy, is the tragedy of thesociety as a whole, may not be important. Wine party smallpox, extravagantluxury residence, colorful gorgeous clothes, just for the sake of his heart loveDaisy. Think first, young and beautiful, sketched a period of time; Flies awayand alternative fate lane person, in the heart of love is someone else'sconfidante. The deep love, the injury the farthest, cut; Not reality, immersedin the beautiful dream, but blurred the

7

forward field of vision. Weakness ofgunfire, all the dreams and beautiful, vulnerable to burst, scattered in thewind, without trace.

Gatsby, his great, because he was the degree of potential energy, butbecause of his pursuit of the good feelings. He hasn't done anything wrong, butalso had to the empty rooms. A dream, how to do, easy, but also how to away,difficult to achieve. In an age of people pursuit of material, to be backed byreal emotions. Buckish, stained with money, odour, lost a condition is a pureheart. Leave a piece of pure land, at that time, doomed to oblivion the audacityof commitments.

Finally wrote: \"we continue to strive to move forward, stream, after beingconstantly push, until the return to the days of the old one.\"

Heart can not help a Chu. Accustomed to another potential, accustomed tothe intrigue, people, really happy? Blundering world, difficult times, disguisethe Buddhism, purports to recall the mood like that is like water. This, is theonly thing we can do?

\"Day after day, excitement consumed by gradually.\" Reality, kill too muchlike real unreal image. Those beautiful like a castle in the air, and hollowcrowd away already. In between dreams and reality, we go from here?

Gatsby is the choice of the former. Even if the cruel reality, fate, hisimage is still great; Pure love is hard to stop, right and wrong about his, alsomake them in a glorious situation across the sphere of a bygone era. Quietlyaway, few people look

at the light. Through one hundred, is the ray of light, tothe left a dark era deserves stay have story.

Even if you, in the reality, still mark a dream back without regrets. Thatis worth pity era, these moving words, bring us infinite daydream.
