Our feelings about the book
Someone may reproach Strickland's irresponsibility, giving up wife and family, but i think there is no such conclusion in the book to show whether Strickland's behavior is right or not. In my opinion, the meaning of everyone's life depend on everyone himself, what you want to do for this society and what you want to be.
Plots:

Our feelings about the book
…Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs… a different but great person. …inside personality of Maugham…. satisfied his desire imaginarily……. I dislike Strickland …But after reading it,… Everyone has the right to choose how to live. Whether he prefers sixpence or the moon, we should respect him.
Characteristic: blackguard, cool, indifferent, crazy, decisive, pursuit of fine arts forever love for painting
unique、beautiful The moon : the spirit and kind of people pursuing ideals
Our feelings about the book
Actually l dislike Strickland, because he is heartless to his family. He is arrogant and selfish to his friends. He looks down upon women. So many criticisms I want to say. But after reading it, his courage, persistence and perseverance moved me a lot. I have to admit that genius is always bizarre, crazy and lonely. Everyone has the right to choose how to live. Whether he prefers sixpence or the moon, we should respect him.
为什么你认为美――世界上最宝贵的财富――会同沙滩上的石头一样，一个 漫不经心的过路人随随便便地就能够捡起来？美是一种美妙、奇异的东西， 艺术家只有通过灵魂的痛苦折磨才能从宇宙的混沌中塑造出来。
Philosophical Sentences
Is to do what you most want, to live under the conditions that please you, in peace with yourself, to make a hash life; and is it success to be an eminent surgeon with ten thousand a year and a beautiful wife? I suppose it depends on what meaning you attach to life, the claim which you acknowledge to society, and the claim of the individual. 难道做自己最想做的事，生活在让你感到舒服的环境里，让你的内心得到安 宁是糟践自己吗？难道成为年入上百万英镑的外科医生、娶得如花美眷就算 是成功吗？我想这取决于你如何看待生活的意义，取决于你认为你应该对社 会做什么贡献，应该对自己有什么要求。

Our feelings about the book
Strickland acts like a wired and unreasonable man who’s ironic attitude is really annoying But, none of us can deny Strickland is a great artist and a real genius. I believe that just because his seemingly annoying personality protects his enthusiastic pursuit of beauty and his strong desire of creation makes him keep drawing until his death. Not so much he is a dream-seeker as he is a beauty-creator.
