The Book Report of The Scarlet Letter(红字读书报告)
The Book Report of The Scarlet Letter---- The analysis of the main characters in The Scarlet Letter The Scarlet Letter as a masterpiece of Hawthorne, is a world-known tragic novel. The author adopts delicate description and profound psychological analysis portrays different characters vividly and deeply. It breaks the mold that American’s long-gestating novel is always fo llowing behind Western Europe’s.The social life in the early colonial period is very familiar to Hawthorne. Hence he is good at the portrayal of different kind of characters who were living under the rule of Puritans. And the novel is succeeded in shaping three types of people: Hester Prynne is a representative of ordinary women who were suffering persecution by the church. Being put in prison, publicly expose, put on scarlet letter, endless torments and humiliation stroke her religious belief and removed her hope for the church. At the beginning, what she wants to do is only to confess her sins. While she has no right to do that, which arouses her awareness of rebellion and resistance. We can see from the original work: ” But Hester Prynne, with a mind of native courage and activity, and for so long a period not merely separated, but outlawed, from society, had habituated herself to such latitude of speculation as was altogether foreign to the clergyman. The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. ” Therefore, she dare to motivate Dimmesdale to escape the secular society and pursuit their own life. Between the lines, we can see this woman’s process of convert clearly.Dimmesdale is a devout priest. And he is regarded as a real priest, a real religionist within the novel. However, he is quite different from Hester. If we use the words like kindness and rebellion to describe Hester Prynne, then we can use hesitation and timidity to depict the movements of Dimmes dale’s own mind. On the one hand, he is looking forward to having romantic love, while on the other hand, he hold the idea that he should not have any other intention except the strong belief of God. He can touch the sunshine and feel warm when Hester is accompanied with him. In the meantime, he is unwilling to leave God for a new life. As a devout priest, the barrier of belief is the biggest obstacle in his mind. There's often a tradeoff inside hisheart between the belief and love. He is tired of being hypocrisy, and dare not to disclose his own sins. When he had to sermonize his thoughts towards Hester when she was publicly exposed, he behaved as a hypocrite. Since he is in dilemma that he feels sorry for Hester and scares of being punished when his secret was disclosed by human beings.Dimmesdale and Hester are the main characters of this tragic love. What they suffered have unmasked the evil ruling of the church from two aspects. The suffering of Hester is an accusation against the draconian laws made by the church. And the result of death for Dimmesdale is a description of the cruel treatments of religious thoughts. It is naturally for Hester to have rebelled thoughts since she is subjected to abuse by all the village people. So there is no doubt that she rewarded the freedom in a certain degree. To the contrary, owing to his noble position, especially the strong belief to God, Dimmesdale is always the slave of religion. When Hester tried to persuade he to escape from this kind of Sodom, he was so excited once he heard the idea, while eventually he gave up the right for happiness for his fear of religion thoughts. From the point of his eyes, the behavior of escape is a matter that never can be absolved. As a matter of fact, although they escape from the cruel ruling of church, they cannot live in a happy life for the reason that he have no way to rid the religion thoughts of inwardly and ultimately.Chillingworth, as a hypocritical and cruel person ruling by the church in depth, he has no feeling towards his wife. What he has owned is his desire to be in possession. Despite he knew the fact that Hester would suffer a lot if she married to him. Their combination is just a misunderstanding. In order to fulfill his selfish desire, he just felt at ease to their unfortunate marriage. And once he found that his wife was unfaithful to him, his cruel nature exposed at once. For his revenge, he changed his name and intertwined with Dimmesdale like a viper. He appeared as a reliable friend in front of Dimmesdale, and then cheated him to expose all his secretes publicly. He didn’t uncover the secret of Dimmesdale not because of his generosity but for his conspiracy. Chillingworth, is a typical negative character in the novel, Hawthorne portrays this character deeply and profoundly.The great success of The Scarlet Letter in psychological description has put Hawthorne into a position of one of the most famous novelists in America. He created a new era for American romantic novel and psychoanalytic novel.。
The Shawshank redemption肖申克的救赎
The Shawshank RedemptionIt was a story about hope and despair, with a hopeful man in a despairing prison; it was a story about rules and chaos, with basic living rules and chaotic administration; is was a story about freedom and constraint, with a young man who wanted to leave and a group of old men who were unwilling to go. In this story, hope, rules and freedom coexisted with despair, chaos and constraint.The Shawshank Redemption is an American drama film directed by Frank Darabont in 1994. In this movie, we can transparently feel the power of hope, as if a thriving sapling grow up in a dessert. According to the Shawshank State Penitentiary, where prisoners were deprived of freedom with stern and clear discipline. People who were put in that prison could hardly feel the hope until a young man’s coming.In 1947,banker Andy was convicted of murdering his wife and her lover, and was sentenced to twoconsecutive life sentencesat the Shawshank State Penitentiary. People in that prison had lived for over ten years, they had been accustomed to living there without freedom, and nobody knew what were their dreams even themselves. Prison life consisted of routine, and then more routine. In fact, having lived there for too much time, they even did not want to leave, as Red said “T hese walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend onthem. That`s institutionalized”. Anyhow, Andy tried all the time, he never gave up hope, and he was always attempting to have fun, such as repairing the house to gain some to relax, managing financial matters for Warden to acquire more freedom. About one month after Andy entered the prison, he asked Red ,who could provide you everything as long as you had enough money, a pickax and later a poster of Rita Hayworth. Under the cover of these two things, Andy more than 20 years in digging a tunnel which Red thought it was unable to drill though spent 600 years on it. At last he got out of the prison by the tunnel.Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good things ever die.“I find I'm so excited. I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it the exciteme nt only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain.I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Paci fic is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.” Red said. He must learn much from Andy, at least he would have a bette r knowledge of hope, and never would he say “Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane”.When I first finished watching this movie, what impress me most was the brilliance of Andy, then his perseverance, finally the theme of hope. I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying. Never give up hope even in despair. We should know that some birds aren’t meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are just too bright. We have to find the meaning of life, freedom, love, friendship, family or anything else. You will find a place where it makes the most sense. With persistence and hope, you can manage to make miracles when everyone is suspicious of it.From another perspective, when Andy first entered the prison, he did not cry. He was very calm and only a month had he thought about the idea of escaping by a tunnel dug up by a pickax though it cost him 20 years. Hence, when you get trouble, don’t panic, calm down and you will find a way out. Maybe the process is long, but you can do it with a hopeful and persevering heart.。

Book Report of Scarlet Letter(红字英文读书报告)
Book report of “The Scarlet Letter”The Scarlet Letter is written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, who is a great American writer. Nathaniel Hawthorne is a representative of Dark Romanticism, a literary subgenre that emerged from the transcendental philosophical movement popular in nineteenth-century America. The themes are often on the inherent evil and sin of humanity.The Scarlet Letter is a love tragedy happening under cruel Puritanism in New England. The story starts inseventeenth-century Boston in a Puritan settlement. A young woman, named Hester Prynne, has been led from the town prison with her infant child in her arms, and on the breast of her gown "a rag of scarlet cloth" that "assumed the shape of a letter". The Scarlet Letter "A" represents the act of adultery that she has committed. A man, who is elderly and a strangerto the town, asks a people what is happening. The man explains that Hester is being punished for adultery. It is apparent that, while waiting for her husband, Hester has had an affair, leading to the birth of her daughter. She will not reveal her lover's identity, so Hester is led to the town scaffold and asked by the town fathers, but she again refuses to identify her child's father. The elderly onlooker is Hester's missing husband,who is now practicing medicine and calling himself Roger Chillingworth. He reveals his true identity to Hester and medicates her daughter. They have a frank discussion but Hester refuses to tell him the name of her lover and Chillingworth tells her that he will find out anyway. He settles in Boston to practice medicine there. Several years pass. Hester supports herself by working as a seamstress, and her daughter, Pearl, grows into a naughty child. Community officials attempt to take Pearl away from Hester, but with the help of Arthur Dimmesdale, a minister, the mother and daughter manage to stay together. Dimmesdale, however, appears to suffer from mysterious heart trouble, seemingly caused by psychological distress. Chillingworth moves with him so that he can provide his patient with middle care. Chillingworth also suspects that there may be a connection between the minister's torments and Hester's secret, and he begins to test Dimmesdale to see what he can learn. One afternoon, while the minister sleeps, Chillingworth discovers an "A" burned into Dimmesdale's chest, which convinces him that his suspicions are correct.[2]By taking full advantage of being a physician, Chillingworth continuously adds psychological torments to the clergyman. Eventually, the poorcreature cannot bear the sin rooting deeply in his heart and admits his adultery with Hester in front of the town people. Soon after confession, Dimmesdale dies at the scaffold. The novel ends up with Hester and Dimmesdale share a same tombstone bearing a scarlet letter A.What I am deeply impressed is the love between Arthur Dimmesdale and Hester Prynne. Because of the true love, Hester would rather die than tell the truth. Owing to love, she can suffer a great pain. A lover in need is a lover indeed.A lot of married couples will say goodbye when catastrophesuddenly arrives, but the two people, especially Hester, still stick to her love. I think we should learn the loyalty from her.。
The Reading Report of Shawshank Redemption
The Viewing Report of Shawshank RedemptionSong ShuzhenAnimal science and technology departmentThe Shawshank Redemption is my favorite story. Without love and family, it still a popular and profound story. I think the personality of the hero draw people’s attention. Thinking of that, if we were the hero, what would you do? Staying in the prison till the end of life or fighting against the devils till they kill you? If you wanted to get out of the prison, what would you? I can not imagine that. Story always exaggerate the fact, at least we can still learn something from the story.First, never be despaired whenever life seems helpless. Often in life, events occur that we truly can not control. The company we are working for “downsize” and we get laid off. In those situation, we may feel as if there is simply nothing we can do to make things better. Never be despaired! There is always a way when it is the right time. What you have to do is just going through the hard time, you will soon balance your life. Hope is a strong moral power that makes you endeavor to achieve your goals. A man can do nothing without hope. Second, change yourself if you can not change the world. It is the survival of the fittest, It is also the reason why our human beings can live till now. It is the most available rule for us who will graduate soon. In my opinion, you do not have to change all your personalities, you need characters to let others know you. Third, never justify people by their past. There is no perfect man in the world, so everyone may make mistakes. The prison is foe who made serious mistakes. It is unfair to say all prisoners are bad guys. I think some of their ins tincts are not so bad. besides, the life of prisoner who get out of the prison is really hard to live. In the story, there was an old man who had stayed in the prison for 70 years. He was respected by everyone because he was a wise man with great knowledge. He could teach other prisoners many things. He even had a position, which was to manage the library. But after he got out of the prison, he became an idle man who could do nothing. The world has changed so much during the past 70 years. Finally, he worn his best clothes then hung himself, he just wanted to die with esteem. No company will employ a prisoner. No matter what changes have taken place, they will not be treated the same with others. Maybe we should give them a chance to start new life, or they will break the law again because they can not live just like ordinary people.Through this story, we also see some social problems. Lust, Authority, Money, Hatred. If someone addicted themselves to such things, the prison is the final destinati on. As for us, what we should do learn is how to keep an ordinary heart when we succ eed. Too proud makes people get into a harmful situation. The way to true success is to learn how to control your mind.The Viewing Life of PiSong ShuzhenAnimal science and technology departmentPi is an Indian boy.At first his name is Picine.He doesn’t like this name.So everyone calls him Pi.It means. Pi’s father had a zoo.T here were many animals in it.Pi got on well with these animals.When Pi was 17 years old,his father decided to move his family to Canada.So his whole family went to Canada with some animals by ship.His father wanted to sell these animals for a high price. On the way to Canada,the ship was broken by the strom.Only Pi and four animals survived on a lifeboat. These animals included a tiger,a zebra,a hyena and an orangutan. The hyena killed the zebra and the orangutan.but it was killed by the tiger. The tiger’s name was Richard Parke. In the next 227 days Pi and Richard Parke drifted on the ocean. At first they were wary of each other. Pi shared the food with Richard Parke. They experienced storms and passed by the ogre island together.Pi had come to know that Richard Parke also had feelings. At the same time, he believed that the God was looking at him and always blessed him. At last the lifeship drifted at Mexico. Richard Parke went away without turning his head when they was saved. Pi was very sad. After I watched this film I thought a lot. Can I be calm like Pi if I sail a boat with a tiger?And do you think the god is looking at you anytime?The film also tells me that we must have the courage to face difficulties and got on well with each other.。

It has taught me that even in the darkest oftimes, there is always a glimmer of light waiting to be discovered.2The film "The Shawshank Redemption" left a deep and profound impression on me. It is a story that makes us think deeply about the relationship between freedom and restraint.In the movie, Andy's longing for freedom never faded even in the confines of prison. Despite the harsh environment and strict rules, he held onto the hope of freedom. His determination to create a library and his secret tunnel-digging project showed his unwavering pursuit of liberation. This longing not only sustained his spirit but also gave him the strength to overcome numerous difficulties.In contrast, many other prisoners had resigned themselves to their fate and become accustomed to the restraints of prison life. They lost the will to fight for freedom and were trapped in a state of hopelessness. However, Andy's attitude was completely different. He refused to be defeated by the circumstances and constantly sought ways to break free.This film teaches us that freedom is not just the absence of physical restraint but a state of mind. Even in the most difficult situations, we should never give up the pursuit of freedom. As long as we have hope and the courage to persevere, we can eventually break through the shackles and embrace true freedom.The film "The Shawshank Redemption" has left an indelible mark on my perspective of life.

Whenever I encounter difficulties and feel like throwing in the towel, I think of Andy and his silent struggle against the odds. His story urges me to keep moving forward, to believe that there is always a way out, no matter how bleak the situation seems.The friendship depicted in the movie has also made me reflect deeply on interpersonal relationships. The bond between Andy and Red, forged in the most unlikely of places, showcases the power of genuine connection. It has made me realize the importance of having true friends who stand by you through thick and thin. Their friendship taught me that in life, it is these meaningful relationships that give us the strength to endure and overcome.In conclusion, "The Shawshank Redemption" is not just a cinematic masterpiece but a life lesson.

The use of flashbacks adds depth and enriches the story, allowing us to understand the characters' backgrounds and motivations more profoundly.The cinematography is another aspect that enhances the film's appeal. The careful framing of each shot, the play of light and shadow, and the choice of perspectives all contribute to creating a visually captivating experience. It makes us feel as if we are part of the story, witnessing every moment along with the characters.Moreover, the movie delves deep into the complexity of human nature and social reality. It shows how hope can persevere even in the most desperate circumstances, and how the power of friendship can overcome the greatest of obstacles. The characters' transformation and growth throughout the story are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.In conclusion, "The Shawshank Redemption" is not just a film; it is a profound exploration of life, hope, and the human condition.

The story unfolds with such depth and intensity that it has the power to touch the hearts of viewers in the most profound ways.One particular scene that moved me to tears was when Andy, despite the harshness of prison life, held on to hope and played the beautiful music over the loudspeaker. The expressions on the faces of the prisoners, a mixture of astonishment and a brief escape from the mundane, was a poignant moment. It made me question the true meaning of freedom and the power of hope in the darkest of times.The entire atmosphere of the film, filled with both despair and resilience, gave me a sense of warmth and strength. The friendship between Andy and Red, evolving over time, showed that even in the most adverse circumstances, human connections can blossom and provide support.This movie is not just a story of escape from a physical prison; it is a metaphor for breaking free from the prisons we create in our minds. It teaches us that no matter how difficult the situation, we should never lose hope and always strive for a better future. The determination and courage displayed by Andy have inspired me to face my own challenges with a positive attitude and the belief that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.。

The Redemption of Hope in "The ShawshankRedemption"In the heart of every story, there lies a thread of truth that resonates with the soul of the reader. Such is the case with "The Shawshank Redemption," a tale that has captivated hearts across the globe with its powerful narrative of perseverance, friendship, and the redemption of the human spirit. Stephen King aptly described it as "the best film ever made" and indeed, it is a masterpiece of cinema that deserves every accolade it has received.The film opens with the conviction of Andy Dufresne, a banker wrongly accused of murdering his wife and her lover. His imprisonment in Shawshank Prison seems like a life sentence without hope. Yet, Andy's indomitable spirit and intelligence slowly begin to transform not only his own existence but also the lives of his fellow inmates. Through his quiet resolve and unwavering faith, he carves out a path of hope and redemption, one that leads him to freedom even within the confines of a maximum-security prison.The relationship between Andy and Ellis Boyd Redding, known affectionately as Red, is the heart of the film.Their bond grows from mutual distrust to a profound friendship that transcends the bars of their prison cells. Red, a hardened criminal with a lifetime of regrets, finds in Andy a spark of decency and humanity that he had lost long ago. As Andy says to Red, "Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane." Yet, it is this same hopethat sustains them both and ultimately leads to their liberation.The film's power lies in its ability to tell a deeply personal story while also commenting on the broader themes of justice, morality, and the human spirit. It challenges the viewer to question the nature of hope and its role in our lives, even in the most hopeless of situations. As Andy digs his way out of Shawshank with a small hammer hidden in a Bible, he reminds us that hope is not just a feeling; it is a force that can move mountains.The Shawshank Redemption is not just a film about prison; it is a film about the human spirit and the resilience of the human mind. It teaches us that no matter how bleak our circumstances may seem, there is always a way out if we are willing to dig deep enough and find thecourage to hope. In the end, it is not the prison wallsthat confine us; it is our own fear and lack of faith that keeps us from embracing the redemption that lies within our grasp.The film's ending, with Andy and Red embracing on the beach under a bright, sunshiny sky, is a testament to the power of hope and friendship. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a ray of light that can guide us to freedom. The Shawshank Redemption is not just a film; it is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the redeeming power of hope.**《肖申克的救赎》中的希望救赎**每个故事的核心，都隐藏着一条触动灵魂的真理之线。

英语观影报告-回复主题：《The Shawshank Redemption》观影报告文章长度：1500-2000字The Shawshank Redemption is a critically acclaimed film directed by Frank Darabont, released in 1994. Based on the novella by Stephen King, the film tells the powerful story of redemption and hope in the face of adversity. In this film report, I will discuss the main themes, characters, and my personal thoughts and reflections on the movie.The main theme of The Shawshank Redemption revolves around the power of hope and the resilience of the human spirit. The story is set in Shawshank State Penitentiary, where Andy Dufresne, played by Tim Robbins, is wrongly convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. Despite being innocent, he is sentenced to life imprisonment. From the very beginning, hope is established as a driving force in the film when Andy tells Red, played by Morgan Freeman, "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."Throughout the film, we witness the transformation of the characters and their relationship with hope. Andy's unwavering hope sustains him and gives him the strength to endure the harsh realities of prison life. He uses his financial expertise to gradually win the trust and respect of both the prison guards and fellow inmates. His determination to maintain his dignity and sense of self-worth in an oppressive environment is truly inspiring.Another important theme portrayed in the film is the idea of institutionalization and the loss of freedom. The prisoners in Shawshank State Penitentiary become so accustomed to the prison system that they struggle to adjust outside its walls. This is illustrated through the character of Brooks Hatlen, an elderly inmate who is eventually released after spending decades behind bars. However, Brooks finds it difficult to adapt to the fast-paced and unfamiliar world outside of prison, leading to tragic consequences. This theme raises thought-provoking questions about the effects of long-term imprisonment on individuals and society as a whole.The Shawshank Redemption is also memorable for its strong and compelling characters. Tim Robbins delivers a remarkableperformance as Andy Dufresne, capturing the essence of a man fighting for his freedom and searching for redemption. Morgan Freeman, as Red, provides a powerful and poignant narration that adds depth and emotional resonance to the story. The portrayal of the friendship between Andy and Red is one of the highlights of the film, demonstrating the transformative power of genuine human connection even in the most unlikely of circumstances.Personally, watching The Shawshank Redemption was an incredibly moving experience. The film beautifully depicts the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, showing that even in the darkest of times, hope can never be extinguished. The themes of redemption, friendship, and resilience resonated deeply with me, and I found myself reflecting on the importance of maintaining hope and staying true to oneself in the face of challenges.In conclusion, The Shawshank Redemption is a timeless masterpiece that explores profound themes of hope, institutionalization, and the indomitable spirit of the human soul. The film's well-developed characters and powerful performances add depth and authenticity to the story, making it a trulycaptivating cinematic experience. Watching this film was not only entertaining but also thought-provoking, leaving me with a renewed appreciation for the power of hope and the resilience of the human spirit.。

After a month, Andy pleased Rhett help him make the first thing is a stone hammer, wanted to carve a few little things to kill the time, and said he tried to escape prison party routine check. Later, Andy putted a huge poster on the cell wall. After Andy learned the surroundings, he was sent to be the prison library administrator. In order to get the update of books in the library, he wrote a letter once a week for the expansion of the library. Six years later, he realized the desire. After that, he started

Andy is always silent and firm. He never gave in to difficulty. He believed that he can change the fate. When Andy finally climbed out of the five hundred yards stench of sewage pipe, standing in the pouring rain, he overcame himself and achieved the freedom belongs to him. The kind of spirit is we all need to learn. The Shawshank redemption let me once again to understand: No society is equal to everyone and we must rely on our own hands to create our life.。
