“你以为，就因为我贫穷、低微、不美、矮小，我就没有灵魂，也没有心吗?不，你错了!我跟你一样有灵魂——也同样有一颗心!”这是出自《简·爱》中简·爱的一句话。

读了这本小说，我被简·爱的自尊、自信、乐观所感动。虽然她有贫困低下的社会地位和漂泊无依的生活遭遇，但她都始终追求自己纯洁高尚的精神生活。无论是在简爱生活的那个时代还是现在，都会有人有过悲剧的生活，于是有人自己就看低了自己，一味的抱怨命运的不公平，在侮辱和痛苦中沉沦;但也有人敢于反抗、敢于追求自己的平等和自由，最后拥有童话故事般美好的结局。所以，无论我们的家境如何、智力如何、地位如何，都不要放弃追求幸福的权力。要相信，每一个人都值得拥有最好的一切。
简·爱是我心中最美的女神。

近日闲暇无事，随意拿起一本躺在角落里的书。不经意的翻看间，竟深深地结下了与她的难解之缘……
夏洛蒂·勃朗特写于1846年的《简爱》，是英国文学史上一部经典传世之作。它成功地塑造了一位独立自主、敢于斗争、敢于追求平等自由的女性形象。
简·爱——一个被命运百般折磨的女性。她出生于贫穷的牧师家庭，幼年父母双亡，被寄养在舅父家。舅父去世后，简·爱受尽舅妈和表哥表妹的歧视、虐待。然而她并没有绝望，更没有沉沦。在她每每惨遭表兄殴打时，总是选择强烈反抗，勇敢回击。让我们听听简·爱八岁时的心声吧。“要是大伙儿对残暴的人一味顺从，那坏人就永远不会有什么顾忌，会变得越来越坏。”后来，舅妈又送十岁的简·爱进了劳渥德孤儿院。那里生活艰苦，教规严厉，院长是个冷酷的伪君子。简·爱在孤儿院生活了八年。她目睹人世百态，饱受肉体和精神上的双重摧残。简·爱个性刚强，她的反抗与好友海伦的忍耐顺从形成了鲜明的对比。
为了追求自由，简·爱从孤儿院毕业后，选择了去桑菲尔庄园，成为庄园主人罗切斯特先生的家庭教师。其貌不扬的简·爱不顾身份地位悬殊，大胆爱上了高贵的雇主罗切斯特先生。但命运再一次戏弄了简·爱。成婚前夕，律师宣布：罗切斯特十五年前已经结过婚，他的妻子就是庄园里那个疯癫女人。得知这一切后，简·爱选择宁可身无分文，重新过回滇沛流离的生活，也决不违背道德准则。她承受着巨大的痛苦，毅然离开庄园，离开自己心爱的人。
简·爱她是何等坚强！她可以忍受日夜思念心上人的煎熬，甘受贫穷，却毫不贪恋富裕美好的生活。更令人敬佩的是，简·爱又是何等善良执着！故事的结局：罗切斯特先生的疯妻纵火把昔日富饶的庄园，化为废墟后坠楼身亡，罗切斯特先生受伤致残。此时，已经恢复平静生活的简·爱毫不犹豫地重回罗切斯特身边，和他成为伴侣，过上了自己理想的幸福生活。
在我看来，简·爱是不幸的，命运似乎时时处处为难可怜的人；但她又是幸运的，因为通过不停息的抗争，简·爱最终得到了梦想的幸福。
“你以为我会留下来，成为一个任你摆布的人吗？我要走，去寻找属于自己的生活！”——透过这不屈的呐喊，我看到了在那个歧视弱者的年代，简·爱以怎样一种顽强与不屈，扼住命运的咽喉，排除万难，闯出了一条只属于自己的路。这本书中的词句如惊雷声声，在我心中留下极大的震撼与冲击。而封面上简·爱柔弱瘦小的身躯、坚毅果敢的眼神，却让我面红耳赤，自觉渺小卑微。我不禁扪心自问：与简·爱相比，我的生活何等优越，只因一次中考失利，如今整日心灰意懒，浑浑噩噩，自暴自弃，没有一丝一毫进取心。真是懦弱啊！挫折算得了什么？命运有什么可怕？最可悲的是自己低头认输！每一个人的人生道路都不会是一帆风顺的，但只要你不心甘情愿地倒下，就永远是胜利者，终将会获得梦想的幸福。
我与简·爱虽隔着茫茫时空，但现在的我却与她心灵相通。感谢《简爱》，这本书是一场及时的春雨，它滋润了我心中“坚韧”这颗种子；这本书是一缕冬日的暖阳，它照亮了我昏暗的人生之路；这本书是一道划破长空的闪电，它刺穿了我软弱的外壳……我相信：只要有了它作我的护盾，人生路上，与简·爱同行，就再也没有击不败的狂风恶浪！
我一次又一次地品读这本书，品读这个不屈的女性，品味自己的处世之道：当今社会，对女性的歧视并没有完全消除，但我一定要活出强者的风采，让那些断言“女子无所为”的人被事实所打败。我知道，这个过程一定无比艰辛，但我已经踏着永往直前的脚步出发，一路前行。简·爱不屈的声音一直在我耳畔回响：只要你不屈服，世界终会向你低头！
[优质读书心得] 《青铜葵花》读后感怎么写
读是写的基础，只有读得认真仔细，才能深入理解作品，才能写出“真材实料”。想要学到新的知识，这些经典作品就不可或缺。在阅读过一篇书籍后内心肯定有属于自己的感悟，我们就可以通过文字的方式把那些心得体会记录下来，有关作品的读后感范文有哪些呢？下面是小编为大家悉心准备的“[优质读书心得] 《青铜葵花》读后感怎么写”，欢迎阅读，希望能为您提供一些灵感。
前几个星期，老师推荐了一本名为《青铜葵花》的小说，我便买来看，谁知一看便不能罢手，读后收获颇丰。
文中的青铜和葵花是两个孩子的名字;青铜是一个生长在农村，有语言障碍的孩子，而葵花却是城里一个伶俐可爱的孩子。两个素不相识的孩子最后变成了不肯分开的兄妹。
文中讲述的是葵花的爸爸、妈妈相继去世，她不得已被送到乡下，由村里最穷的一户人家——青铜家领养。在这个家里，她经受了火灾、水灾和蝗灾的磨难，也感受到了人间最美的真情，最终她和青铜成了不是兄妹，胜似兄妹的好朋友。
读完这本书，我想说的是，书中写了苦难，很苦很苦!以至于没有东西吃时只好吃芦根;以至于保不住奶奶心爱的嫁妆;以至于青铜很爱学习，可为了减少家庭负担，决定自己不上学。但苦中有乐，没有人因此而一蹶不振，而是像竹子一样，越来越坚韧。
文中很多地方使我再次感受到了人间真爱。当葵花被强行接走后，青铜非常伤心，几天不吃饭，不睡觉，一直就坐在地上。直到有一天，青铜仿佛看到了葵花，便大声喊道：“葵——花!”泪水泉涌而出。邻居听到青铜的喊声，高兴的说：“青铜会说话了!”多么感人的兄妹情啊!当青铜喊出“葵花”时，我的泪水和青铜的泪水一齐涌了出来。
这不禁让我想起当今社会，有很多人“执著”于“DNA”检测，怀疑自己的父母或骨肉，一旦发现有错，便不惜一切代价找到和自己有血缘关系的人。但有什么能比情更重要呢?血液算什么，关键在于那份多年的真挚的情啊!
在这里，我想对葵花说的是：“葵花，尽管你的父母亲很早的离你而去，尽管你后来所待得家是那么贫穷，尽管你所爱的奶奶、牛也都相继去世了，可是你仍然是富有的，你拥有活着的人关怀备至的照顾，也拥有死去的人对你的爱怜和牵挂。”
苦难几乎是永恒的。每一个时代有每一个时代的苦难，苦难绝非今天才开始。今天的孩子，用不着为自己的苦难大惊小怪，更不要以为只是从你们这里才有苦难和痛苦的。我们需要的是从容面对苦难，在苦难中，产生爱的火花，大爱无言，让浓浓的爱融合在每个人的心中，让所有的人知道，我们依然在微笑。
[优质读书心得] 简爱读后感1000字930字
读书使人充实，思考使人深邃，交谈使人清醒。我们在生活中可以多多去读一些经典书籍作品，在阅读过程中，我们经常为作者精妙的文笔所叹服，此时可以抽出一点点时间写写读后感，分享自己的想法。一篇属于自己的作品读后感该怎么写呢？为此小编特意整理了“[优质读书心得] 简爱读后感1000字930字”，欢迎阅读，希望小编的分享可以为您带来帮助。
她是一个命运波折、经历坎坷的女性。她的故事并非仅仅是灰姑娘的翻版那样简单。她用她的每一句话，每一个动作，每一个眼神，每一个思想鼓励人们用自己的努力去创造幸福，追求美好。她是人们心中永不屈服、永不放弃的强者。她是一个虽然矮小但屹立在19世纪英国文坛，永远光彩照人的艺术形象。她就是简？爱。
《简爱》这本小说是一部具有浓厚浪漫主义色彩的现实主义小说。主要描写了简爱与罗切斯特的爱情。主人公简爱是一个心地纯洁、善于思考的女性，她生活在社会底层，受尽磨难。但是她有倔强的性格和勇于追求平等幸福的精神。小说以浓郁抒情的笔法和深刻细腻的心理描写，引人入胜地展示了男女主人公曲折起伏的爱情经历，歌颂了摆脱一切旧习俗和偏见。扎根于相互理解、相互尊重的基础之上的深挚爱情，具有强烈的震撼心灵的艺术力量。其最为成功之处在于塑造了一个敢于反抗，敢于争取自由和平等地位的妇女形象。
简？爱的结局是美好的，但放下书本后的我却久久不能平静。早已经习惯了男作家用粗犷理性的笔调写出的一篇篇狂风骤雨的战争文章，我的心却轻易的被这个女人的感性的细腻笔调折服了。夏洛蒂？勃朗特似乎就在为我们讲述她自己的切身经历一样，讲述着一位女性辛酸的心路历程，我们为简爱在里盖茨梅德的遭遇不满，为她在寄宿学校的自强求知而感动，为她和罗切斯特的爱情祝福。
在简爱的世界，有那么多的美好，令我们无限幻想。在那个属于爱的夏天，有爱情的浪漫，亲情的温馨，友情的坚强。在那没有一丝的黑暗，因为那里不允许有任何邪恶。简？爱是一个幸福的人，她懂得什么是幸福，也知道如何让自己幸福。
我有时侯还不能够平等待人；还不能够面对各种挫折；还不能够在学习、生活上完全自立。记得有一次，我数学题目做不出来，我也没有认真地思考一下，就让爸爸帮忙，但爸爸说他没有空，叫我自己思考去解决问题。可我却偷懒，吵着让父亲教我。爸爸就让我反复看书上的例题，让我真正看懂了，再让我做作业题，我一下子全懂了！我终于明白了，我们遇到困难时要有信心、要敢于面对困难、学会自力更生。当今生活中，在物质日益丰富的今天人们都疯狂地为了金钱和地位而淹没爱情。在穷与富之间选择富，而在爱与不爱之间选择不爱。很少有人会像简爱这样为爱情为人格抛弃所有，而且义无反顾。《简爱》所展现给我们的正是一种返朴归真，是一种追求全心付出的爱情，还有作为一个人应有的尊严。它犹如一杯冰水，净化每一个人的心灵，让人感受到快乐。
无数人在追寻她们的足迹，追求着幸福人生
[优质读后感] 《围城》读书心得1000字怎么写
常言道“书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉”，人在阅读的过程中，知识与能力在同步增长。在读过了作品，对于里面的情节非常感兴趣，面对作品里的情节、人物，我们需要从相关的角度去分析它。怎么才能用文字的方式把读后感记录下呢？下面是小编为您精选的“[优质读后感] 《围城》读书心得1000字怎么写”，有需要的小伙伴一定不能错过！觉得有用请收藏。
阅读一本书，像浸泡在温泉中，酣畅淋漓，心醉神迷;阅罢如同出水，不禁哆嗦，一身冷汗。带给我这样感受的，唯有《围城》。
一本讽刺小说能引起读者如此反应，不可谓不成功。一方面，我赞叹作者刻画人物一针见血，又不至于夸张;另一方面，我为自己某些人性的弱点或多或少遭到作者赤裸裸地披露而惶恐不安，急欲克服。这得益于作者用高超的技巧来记叙事情，却不评论，从而触发读者的心理反应，使读者自己生出批判的意义来。
印象最深的便是李梅亭买红薯，这件事总让人揣测他自私、吝啬的性格，却又惊觉，若这是当时的自己，大概也会生出如此的想法和相同的行动吧，不然如何猜得熟练而世故?读书以自喻，我该暗暗敲响反省的警钟了。
不过作者在自序里写道：“在这本书里，我想写现代中国某一部分社会、某一类人物。写这类人，我没忘记他们是人类，只是人类，具有无毛两足动物的基本根性。”由此可知，《围城》所突出的重点并不在于探讨人性，而在于反映“某一社会”、“某一类人物”的存在状态。那时的社会正处于抗战前期，其最大的时代特征是中西文化的碰撞，而最能见证文化变迁的学者或文化人，自然是那一类人。
这本讽刺小说的矛头指向的是部分陷入精神危机的文化人，他们有的学习西方文化，不料生搬硬套——看看三闾大学的“导师制”，本来是要向西方一流大学看齐，与国际接轨的，不料竟变成了倡导教师一天三餐都跟学生同桌吃饭之类非马非驴的闹剧。
有的学者志在传承中国文化，不料抱残守缺，这有鉴于方鸿渐先生的家庭观。有的人明明碌碌无为，却偏偏贪图风光，于是把这无聊的聪明用于各个场所，一旦有所成效，就披上皇帝的新衣，装模作样，旁人为了显示自己的品味，连声赞叹，助长了不正之风。
倘若没有最后一段，小说也仅有智者的痛快，没有仁者的悲哀，没有蜡烛点亮了黑夜的同时流下眼泪闪耀的神圣光芒：
“那只祖传的老钟当当打起来，仿佛积蓄了半天的时间，等夜深人静，搬出来一一细数：‘一，二，三，四，五，六’。六点钟是五个钟头以前，那时候鸿渐在回家的路上走，蓄心要待柔嘉好，劝他别再为昨天的事弄得夫妇不欢;那时候，柔嘉在家里等鸿渐回家来吃晚饭，希望他会跟姑母和好，到她厂里做事。这个时间落伍的计时机无意中对人生包涵的讽刺和感伤，深于一切语言、一切啼笑。”
一切归于平静，平静地经历暴风雨的洗礼，然而平静是妥协的无奈，是祭奠的惋惜，是雨后沉闷的瘴气。
随着方鸿渐坠入原始的睡或者称为死的样品，他的灵魂挣开肉体的束缚，归于缥缈，归于虚无。我叹至此，再无“围城”。
教你写读书心得: 《简爱》读后感之一
书是我们的精神食粮，读书是我们的兴趣喜好，读好书则是我们做人的行动指南。读书对我们是有很大影响的，所以有很多人就很喜欢看各种的书籍，我们在读作者写的作品时，不能马观花地读，需要仔细地领会，是时候把自己阅读作品后的所思所想写出来了。优秀的作品读后感怎么才能够写出来呢？下面是小编为大家整理的《教你写读书心得: 《简爱》读后感之一》，欢迎阅读，希望能为您提供一些灵感。
在书还没读一半，我就被简的悲惨人生和她身上矢志不渝的精神吸引住了。
小说主要讲了简？爱的成长过程。她从小就生活在一个居人篱下的环境中，父母的身亡，舅妈的嫌弃，表哥的毒打……这些让简的心智比同龄人更成熟。后来，简被送进了一所虚有其名的慈善学校。在善良可怜的孤儿海伦？彭斯和坦普尔小姐的帮助下，简洗清了之前的诽谤，重新踏入新的生活。长大后，简为了追求独立自由的生活，成为了一名家庭教师，并与主人罗彻斯特先生结婚，拥有了一个幸福的结局。
简？爱面对困难时坚强不屈的精神正是现在小学生所缺少的。做作业时，遇到不会写的字问父母，哪几个会查字典呢？不会读英语单词时，问同学，哪几个会根据音标钻研呢？简？爱从小失去双亲，从小感受不到亲情。简？爱童年受尽了舅妈的折磨，但在长大后，还是在舅妈病危之时去看望。当今社会里，孩子不是被父母捧在手里就是含在嘴里，生怕摔了化了。当今社会里，谁还有像简？爱这样宽广的胸怀呢？我很喜欢海伦？彭斯的一句话：“我想生命似乎太短暂了，不应用结仇记恨。”我们应用宽广的胸怀对待每一个人。
《简？爱》让我明白了：不管遇到什么，只要勇敢面对，就有成功的希望。
[优质读书心得] 南渡北归读后感怎么写
阅读一本好书，就好像在眼前展开了一个新世界，我们经常需要读大量有深度的书籍，它们是人类知识的总结。在阅读作者的作品过程中，书中的描述让人欲罢不能，此时就可以写一篇读后感，把自己阅读完毕后的想法写下来。写作品的读后感，该从哪些方面着手呢？面对这些问题，小编为大家收集了“[优质读书心得] 南渡北归读后感怎么写”，敬请阅读，希望能帮助到有需要的朋友。
第一次在网上书店看到这本书的时候，是被它封面上那些联袂推荐的作家的大名所吸引的，李存葆、莫言、张志忠、朱向前等，然后觉得很奇怪，何谓大师远去，再无大师，什么才称得上是大师，这里所指的大师又是哪方面的呢？于是毫不犹豫地在网上买了下来，最近才看完第一部分，南渡，就深深被其中的历史人物和时代背景，以及两者交叉呈现的内容所吸引，更准确地说是感动。有感于大师们的民族气节和精神，更有感于他们的治学、求学之严谨，无论历史如何变迁，时代如何更迭，风云如何变幻，烙印在他们心底的那一份爱国与求学的精神不来，同样，带给我们的这一份感动也同样永存！
《南渡北归》它以时代背景，历史变迁为线索，按时空的逻辑细致全面地描述20世纪在我国国家危亡，民族饱受凌辱的特殊历史时代，一些有志有为的学术大师们的命运变迁，他们是中国近代最有名的知识分子，也是近代中国在饱受列强侵略和瓜分后保留下来的知识分子的种子，然而他们的命运，时运都很不济，可谓是命运多舛，用文中自己的文字来讲就是天欤，亦或时运欤？
在这样一部着作里，我们看到了无数大师级知识分子的命运，他们要么抱病离开，要么含恨而终，要么终于与自己毕生所追求所向往的事业与人生失之交臂，悔不终生。他们为了中国的文化传承事业，为了国家民族大义，放弃了自己原本美满的生活，违背了自己内心的想法，或放弃权威、名利本可以双收的社会地位，或失去亲人，或离开爱侣，而这些都是他们所不想更不愿的，然而他们处在那样一个特殊的年代，一切都身不由己，一切也都理所当然。这些都不重要，真正重要的是，他们付出了，牺牲了，可是值还是不值？
我想它留给我们后人尤其是作为当代知识分子的应该是更为深刻的思考与反省，如今局势安稳，环境充裕，我们可否一时像这些大师们一样潜心于学术，专注于真知，废寝忘食不是为了备考，绞尽脑汁不是为了作弊，我想我们不会如此肤浅，不会这么快对一件事情失去热情，失去耐心。
书中阐明了一个观点，当代的中国人（指那个历史剧烈变迁的时代），大多下愚上欺，官僚勾结、腐败是导致中国近代落后挨打的重要原因，面对这样的民众，如果仅强其体魄，是无法从根本上解决问题的，也无法实现中华民族的真正崛起，在这一点上，我想鲁迅先生的弃医从文，由强其体魄，转为强其精神、灵魂的观点是经得住历史考验的，从这一个层面上来看，发展壮大中国知识分子队伍，重视文化、知识、品德的教育就显得越为重要了。这也是这批大师们命运剧烈变迁留给后人的一大启发吧。
可是还是有遗憾，还是让人回味无穷，如果吴宓真的迷恋毛彦文，如果徐志摩真的倾心于林徽因，如果生在和平年代，处于安稳之秋，也许有情人终能眷属，至少没有那么多凄美的色彩。如果陈寅恪真的是奔李庄而去，也确实去了，留给他自己的不会是深深的遗憾，留给后人的也不会是迷一般的历史遐想，然而，陈寅恪最终却舍李庄而去。自此，一代史学大师失去了李庄，李庄推动了这位三百年才得一见的大师。而史语所同仁与陈寅恪之间的交往也如滚滚长江中游走的鱼，渐行渐远，直至冲出三峡汇入大海的那一刻分道扬镳，相忘于江湖。

When the long winter nights come on and the wolves follow their meat into the lower valleys, he may be seen running at the head of the back through the pale moonlight or glimmering borealis, leaping gigantic above his followers, his great throat a bellow as he sings a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.
There was a script about the savage life in the frozen north of ice and snow. There were the unexplored north areas of America and the 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush which dragged men from the entire world into the hard wild to look for gold. There was a road where a gigantic dog like human fought his way to struggle in the wasteland. There was a civilized beast grew from mildness to wildness. And there came the call of the wild.
The background and plot
In the 19th century, it was said that gold had been found in the Klondike area in Northern California of vast wilderness, so thousands of people rushed into this uncultivated ground to seek for gold and fortune, which needed a large quantity of dogs to support for the transportation. There came up Buck story which we cant define it as luckiness or unluckiness.
Buck, a dog weighed one hundred and forty pounds, tall, strong, and heavy muscled, lived a cozy and comfortable life in a rich family of a Judge named Miller, but was soled by evil gardener to two dog dealers and was took to Alaska as a sled dog.
Led by his second masters, two governmental couriers, he studied how to pull a sled and how to live in this cruel world where needed more cunning behavior and less fake moral and courtesy. For example, he learned to sleep in the snow hole to get warmness from the clod nights, and he learned to thief bacon and food from his masters and neighboring camps, as well as that, he learned how to fight effectively and efficiently with his antagonists and survive of the combat about the dominant leader with Spitz. In addition to those, he also went through the hardships in the toil on the ice layer, and he learned how to obtain the victory and stand on the wilderness which was beneficial to himself who can only fit the environment, but cant defy the harness.
After the arduous trace and trail, they finally reached the destination, and then, after a short break, dogs including Buck led by a Scotch half-breed man stepped again on the ice land with the Salt Water Mail. It was a hard trip and a monotonous life operating like machine that dogs must undertake the heave pulling and poor condition where they were tired and short of weight. Buck partner, Dave who had something wrong inside suffered most of all, but pride as he was, pulling the sled was his holy missionary job which can fulfill his life and must be done until his death. However, the tough work was still continuous.
Thirty days passes, by which time Buck and his mates found how really tired and weak they are until they arrived at the last town. They were in a wretched state, worn out and worn out, which was not the tiredness that came from a brief and excessive effort and can be recovered from some hours rest, but was the dead tiredness that came through the slow and prolonged strength drainage of months of toil and had to need a long vocation to evacuate. Nevertheless, only three days after they were bought by a family including a foolish woman, a callow and ignorant youngster, and a middle aged man with weak and watery eyes. Never mind of dogs frazzle, the third masters tried their best to lash out at them with whip, but Buck was not under very good command and not proud and interested of this career. Until they reached at the camp of Thornton, with the natural instinct and extreme weariness, Buck tolerated the whip from his so called masters and refused to go ahead which was his luckiness to meet his last master, Thornton.
Without doubt, Thornton was a good master, full of wisdom, intelligence and love who can manage Bucks life comfortably and in order. By the careful attendance form his new master, Buck was on his feet quickly and solidly. Filled with the loying love toward his master, Buck companied him, saved his life for several times and helped him win the gambling party. Then, they faced into the East on an unknown trail to achieve where men and dogs as good as themselves has failed, as the call from the wild became stronger and stronger which attracted Buck to leave the civilization to look for. The knife that cut out the bound of Buck between his masters was the masters deaths which left a void in the dogs heart and a strengthened calling from the wild. Buck, a civilized dog, finally went back to wolves after thousands of generation by singing a song of the younger world, which is the song of the pack.
Survive of the fittest
The Call of the Wild abounded in Darwinism which advocated the evolutionism and natural selection theory.
In the process of having to leave the comfortable Millers house and adapt to the harsh primitive snowfield, Buck went through the changes from the mildness to wildness where he studied the law of club and fang and admitted the rule of failure without progress. He had learned well the law of club and fang, and he never forewent an advantage or drew back from a foe he had started on the way to death. He must master or be mastered, Kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, was the law; and this mandate, down out of the depths of time, he obeyed.
After analysis, we can find that related to the Darwinism, learning ability was an important factor of the victory of living of Buck. As a south dog living in the rich family and innocent environment, Buck was not wary of Manuels uncommon behavior, but situation has changed entirely after a period of barbaric life: he showed hostility to his all possible mates and took precaution of everything. As well as that, throwing away the moral standard and facing the death of starvation, Buck had an ability of thief. This first theft marked Buck as fit to survive in the hostile Northland environment. It marked his adaptability, his capacity to adjust himself to changing conditions, the lack of which would have meat swift and terrible death. In addition to those, his muscles became hard as iron, and he grew dumb to all ordinary pain, and he can successful take full use of all the elements no matter internal or external. Thats the progression of Buck which can equip him with thick helmets from being hurt deeply and made him be the fittest.
Not only did he learnt by experience, but instincts long dead became alive again. Maybe knowledge acquired by learning was Bucks left hand, instincts his right. Good pedigree set up his first sense of a tall, strong and muscular potential king, while the instinct helped him to learn fast and save his life. It was no task for him to learn to fight with cut and slash and the quick wolf snap. They came to him without effort or discovery, as though they had been his always.
Buck changed as his living environment changed. With the change of environment, Buck, compared to the previous southern family dog that was mild and gentle, acquired many abilities and skills. He tried his best to live by becoming cunning, cold-blood, and cruel which make him step forward on the road of corpse and blood. Survive of the fittest which is demonstrated by adaptation to the environment and wielding the law to protect himself and attack on others made him roared on the top of the food chain and return to wolves.
All what Buck has done was not due to his reason and thought, but due to his fit. He was fit to everything surrounding him unconsciously and put him to the new way of living quickly.
The theory, Survival of the fittest， is the law of biological evolution which implies that plants or animals adapt to the environment to survive or to dieit is the biological survival rule of brutal biosphere. That is to say, the key of this law is that those who can fit the environment can survive, on the contrary, those failed to fit would be obsolete under the rule of elimination.
Peeping at Buck and his struggle, we can have a vision of us human that was also fighting in the battlefield with our mates and against our enemy. Filled with bustling stuff, we tried our best to stand on the top of right and authority only because that position would give us more materials and the sense of pride which we depended on to live. Flowers in the greenhouse didnt know about the hardship of living, so they showed goodwill and send aroma to others; while life in the ice field where wind was blowing like knife and thick snow can bury people only showed a will of survive and cut up the useless goodness to wear on the coldness.
We must do it because we had to do it. The pack of animal was like a society of people. Death and genocide would happen on us if we were not willing to fit the environment thoroughly. To dance with the shackle of survive of the fittest was the policy we should carry out forever, the reason why our human stood on the top of biologic chain, and the rule of living of every individual.
My opinion on virtue and vice
Some people had said virtue was the biggest treasure that human should obey. There is no doubt that kindness, loyalty, honor, love, companionship, sympathy, mercy, and other virtue should be followed. However, I argue that there is transformation between different virtue and even the virtue and vice.
Showing the feature of three animals: dog, wolf and human, Buck was the bridge that connected the past and present. As the production of human civilization, dog was evolved from wolf and they would still howl on the wilderness if human didnt raise and train them.
Buck was a mirror from which we can see ourselves. Through this dog, writer told us that only in a place where sun darted its forth beams and everything was in order human will wear the coat of basic goodness, otherwise, kindness would be eliminated if it met with the club and fang. In the cruel process of primitive accumulation of capitalism, mercy and sympathy was not needed for those quality can lead to death of innocent people. In the period of survive of the fittest, life was not concerned with civilization, while wilderness was the real marrow of life and echoing for the wilderness was the beginning of revival. Buck realized that Mercy did not exist in the primordial life. It was misunderstood for fear, and such misunderstanding made for death. This phenomenon can be seen in dogs as well as human. Wilderness were calling for human and eliminating the kindness in humans heart stealthily.
In A Treatise of Human Nature, British philosopher David Hume has said moral came from humans emotion and conscience but not rationality. The essence of moral existed in the perceptual knowledge, but not rational knowledge. Therefore, the reason why moral distinctions had the division of virtue and vice was that the judgment of moral came from humans attitude toward their internal actions and external objects. The judgment of moral came from our interest appeal; that is to say, the judgment of moral came from what was good to us, but not what is good.
Let us think the question that which direction of Bucks change to a beast was, progression or retrogression? The answer was that we cant answer because he survived due to that he threw away those so called virtue and carry out those so called villainy. All what Buck did was under the pressure of living, and he responded to the call of the wild only because he wanted to live. Maybe in the comfortable and civilized Judges house, he would stick to the standard of moral and protect the respect of Judges riding whip by dying under his whip. But in this cold field, sticking to those so called moral was a fool. Possibly in this kind of world, brutality, cold-bloodedness, cunning and so on was the moral.
The division of virtue and vice was the refection of the division of civilization and wilderness to some degree. Maybe we cant define what moral was and what vice was now in some scene, but we can try to last for enough time to seek for the answer.
Run after the free life
The call from the wild stood for humans nature to run after a simple, independent and free life.
Buck was bored of the complex life where he must deal with such a big net of relationship. He just wanted to run and leap through the forest, howled under the grey moonlight, ate what he liked and killed what he liked without many rules to obey. No one desired to live a complicated life for its difficult and tiring to reckon other people, while life in the wilderness was just that eat or eaten, kill or killed and there was no middle ground. Easy and simple life was set up on the uncivilized world where creatures didnt have so much relation and elements to consider. Only being independent from all that can we find what we wanted.
When unpracticed Charles and his relatives sunk in a ice hole, writer said that A yawning hole was all that was to be seen. That hole was a capitalistic vast mouth that can eat people, but which would be rotten if we escaped from it. Here a yellow stream flows from rotted moosehide sacks and sinks into the ground, with long grasses growing through it and vegetable mould overrunning it and hiding its yellow from the sun. The gold that Thornton got has become a yellow stream because they were eroded by natural power and lost their value. Imagine in a world where was entirely natural and uncivilized, gold, a kind of iron and currency, was entirely futile, isnt it?
Being free of human world and even free of materials, Buck got a totally new life where he can run at the head of the pack through the pale moonlight to release his vitality and got comfort from nature. We needed materials actually, but material was void actually. How can we get free? To get free of our hearts.
Conclusion
There are two sentences Id like to mention. First, human beings, never degenerate into beasts. Second, beasts, never degenerate into human beings. Correctness of those two sentences should be discussed.
Humans progression began in the point when human beings evolved from wilderness period to civilization, but the retrogression also began at the point when people shared the feast of civilization. For us who are far away from the wilderness and raised and trained by civilization, this book gives us a new vision.
Sometimes a picture floating in my mind: in the icy forest, a silhouette of Buck as a wolf caned his neck to howl toward the pale moonlight to echo the howling of pack. Thats the song of animal, and the chant of human, and the snarl of life.
