After reading a famous book carefully, everyone will have a new understanding and view of life. Let's write a reading note and record your gains and feelings. But what are the requirements for reading notes? The following is a sample essay (generally 5) of my reading notes after the dust settles, hoping to help everyone.
The dust settles, reading notes 1 long for the dust to settle, and time belongs to Luo Ding. In the noisy world, are we as clever "fools" as the protagonist in Loy's The Dust Settles, or do we let our cleverness be revealed? I think different people have different answers. But for me, showing my cleverness is far more meaningful than hiding it.
Today's era is full of opportunities, but opportunities are often given to those who are prepared, and those who are prepared are undoubtedly smart people, not "fools" who hide their wisdom. A person is mysterious, does not show his intelligence, and pretends to be crazy all day, so the chances of being appreciated by others and meeting each other are slim.
So, what makes those once smart people choose to hide their cleverness? There are three reasons. First, I believe in shooting the first bird. I'm afraid I'll be jealous because I'm too ostentatious. If you ask me, such people's worries are unnecessary. After all, the reality is not a TV series, and there will definitely be envy, but envy is far from being achieved. Secondly, I don't think I need to show my wisdom in front of some people. Such people are often arrogant and think that their intelligence is superior to the world, and it is useless to show their wisdom in front of others. Third, in a word, lazy! I'm worried that after showing my cleverness, many things will come to my door and disturb my leisurely life.
Showing cleverness means more opportunities. Being smart means getting more exercise opportunities. Hiding your cleverness means that you will miss countless opportunities, which means that you will gradually lose your original cleverness and eventually disappear from everyone. The noisy world, why not let this noise make trouble for you? Show your intelligence and be your truest self!
After reading The Dust Settles, I especially like the image of a fool created by the author, because the word "silly" makes the protagonist more free.
He can live in harmony with his brother and love each other for many years, avoiding killing each other; He can easily chat and make friends with slaves or free people, eliminating the difference in rank; He can be himself at will and freely. These are things that normal and smart people in the toast family can't do, because they are bound, like money, love power, have endless desires and pursue them crazily, and bear the burden and price for them. The smartest person is also stupid, which is my evaluation of fools. A real fool can't predict the future. He showed that the Maggie family wanted to grow food, not expand the influence of the Maggie family. Not only that, he also opened up a new world of market economy in Tibet. This is a clever fool. A fool is a witness to the rise and fall of the Tibetan chieftain system, watching step by step the dust finally settled and the changing times finally defined.
After reading this book, I went to the post bar and found that most people who read it have a question: a fool can kill two Avengers. Why did he commit suicide to save their lives? I want to say that fools think differently from ordinary people. When this design is unexpected, it just fits the theme and better shapes the image of a fool. This is one of them. Secondly, his death symbolizes the end of the toast family and carries out the theme of dust settled. Third, make the plot of the article ups and downs, increase interest and stimulate readers' interest in reading.
This book is not only rich in Tibetan culture and mystery, but also has a strong modern significance. Reveal the good, evil, beauty, ugliness and desire of human nature through the affairs of ethnic minorities. Moderate desire will push us forward, work hard and change our life in a higher and more gorgeous direction; The greedy desire is not satisfied, but it will distort human nature and not recognize yourself. For contemporary college students who are about to enter the society, what is worth learning is the fool's lifestyle. He knows how to get along with others, respect others and care about others. When we saw him return to Guanzhai from the border of Maggie, he was warmly welcomed and praised by the people, and was highly praised by the people. A fool is impressed by his own people, and even more by the crumbling toast era. The entry of the Red Han people symbolizes the disintegration and demise of the chieftain system, and a country can only have one regime. The demise of the chieftain system conforms to the law of social development and the people's yearning and pursuit of freedom.
With the progress of the times, the people have been liberated, and the concept that all people are created equal has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. We should cherish the happy life now, learn from the wisdom and piety of fools, think more about the question of "who am I and where am I", and clearly understand the road we are going to take and the road we are going to take, so that we can always be alert to ourselves and not regret when the dust settles.
Dust settles, reading notes 3. I came into contact with contemporary literature very late. When other students have read all the works of contemporary writers, I am still wandering on the shelves of contemporary literature with surprises like a sixth-grade pupil. The number of contemporary writers' works is equal to that of ancient writers, and then I realized the existence of contemporary writers' works.
This is not surprising. I was born in a remote mountain village. In the early 1990s, a relatively wealthy family in the village bought their first TV set. During my whole growing up, I seldom came into contact with literary works. The occlusion of the environment is one of the reasons. All kinds of pirated martial arts novels and romance novels are popular in our country. I have always been wary of these novels, and my teacher also forbids me to read such "casual books". So, until now, I have turned a blind eye to the martial arts romance novels, and I can't get rid of my inner anxiety-the commandment of never reading "casual books" in the name of reading has been working; On the other hand, the family is poor and can't afford books (even eating is a problem and there is no money to buy books). Reading is nothing more than going to college, so there is no other reading except textbooks.
When I was finally admitted to the university, I was liberated. When other students fell in love and indulged in online games, I launched an attack on the library, as if to make up for my childhood deficiencies and read enough books-of course, the purpose was to solve my own confusion.
One of my roommates, who is also a classmate, has a copy of Dust Settled, which is on his bookshelf. This classmate is very interesting. He has a notebook computer, but he bought a mouse, mouse pad and headphones, but he often invites several students to play games in the Internet cafe. He knew I was poor and had no money, so he never dragged me to an Internet cafe. It can be seen that poverty is also good, and it will not be mixed with them and there is no ability to waste time. I borrowed the book from him when I found it. He was very happy and agreed. So I finished reading The Dust Settled in one breath.
Before reading this book, I had finished reading the novel The Sound and the Fury by American writer Faulkner, so when I read The Dust Settled, I thought it was written under the influence of The Sound and the Fury. For a long time, I still hold this idea. Only recently did I finally correct this concept. Now I don't think that because Faulkner was born earlier than Loy and wrote The Sound and the Fury, Loy was influenced by Faulkner, but I, a reader, inexplicably involved two writers.
Why? The Sound and the Fury wrote an idiot Benji. When the dust settled, I wrote my second son's idiot toast. The Sound and the Fury is an epic. The Dust Settles is an epic about the glory, decline and extinction of Tibetan chieftain system. It is the same narrative angle, the same epic, and the similarity between the two aspects that make me connect the two works.
The difference is that The Sound and the Fury tells the history of the same family from four narrative angles, which is the specific text structure of this work; But the narrative angle of the dust settled has never changed, and they are all stupid second sons of toast.
I even remembered the work Michael K: Life and Time by South African writer Coetzee. This book is also about a person with low IQ, and it is also an epic work. Maybe I should say that Coetzee was influenced by Faulkner? Maybe it is possible. I believe that before Coetzee won Nobel Prize in Literature, few people in China knew who Coetzee was. Coetzee is still on that continent, blocked by China. Therefore, Loy could not be influenced by Coetzee.
Isn't it amazing that non-interfering writers have written similar novels from similar angles in different lands?
I still clearly remember my high school Chinese teacher's ranking of modern literature, that is, "Lu, Ba Lao Cao". At that time, I was too young to understand the works of Lu Xun and other writers, and I rarely read them (I didn't have the opportunity to read the works of these great writers). Once, I read a novel by Mr. Ba Jin, called Autumn in Spring, about a woman who is free to fall in love against her father's wishes and lives with a young man according to her own ideas. Later, life was unbearable and he was taken home by his father to commit suicide. After hearing the news, the young man was full of sadness. After reading this novel, I was disappointed. If free love does not have a good ending, young people's efforts will get such a tragic ending, and there is no hope at all. Almost all of our young people will live such a morbid life. Later, I read the novel Regret for the Past written by Lu Xun. The tone is depressed and low, making people breathless. Perhaps only by understanding the era in which Lu Xun and Ba Jin lived can we understand their novels.
When the dust settled after I finished reading in one breath, my heart turned out to be extremely carefree, and I fully realized the pleasure of reading, which is exactly the opposite of the depressed mood of reading a novel like Autumn in spring. Roy also wrote about death and decline. Why are you so comforting? At that time, I thought, why didn't the book "The Dust Settled" win any prize and spread widely? This is definitely a good book. Later, I learned that this book is an award-winning work of the Contradictory Literature Award, and it has been selected into nearly 100 literary works in China. I think this is completely commensurate with the achievements of this book. Being able to read The Sound and the Fury and Michael K: Life and Its Times, I can also get pleasure from reading The Dust Settles-a kind of spiritual shock and being firmly attracted.
I have been reflecting on what has shaped a generation of morbid young people, such as "blushing as soon as I walk past the girl I like". In real life, incompetence and cowardice always turn love into tragedy. Yu Dafu's novel Sinking is an excellent example. I think, how can such young people survive in this increasingly competitive world? Can't we just be normal?
I seem to be saying that some works of contemporary literature are better than some works of modern literature. My words are enough to arouse the contempt of many predecessors. But I think literary works not only have the ability to describe reality, but also have the ability to shape new personality-this is a cliche now. The characters described in Yu Dafu's novels make us readers feel that those characters are darker than those in reality. Why are writers so weak and incompetent, starved to death and forced to die by reality? Why not strengthen yourself and live a good life?
The idiot written in The Dust Settles can adapt to life better than normal people, which has to arouse our reflection. An idiot was quite calm when he died. He knew that a new era had arrived and he died peacefully.
I think this has something to do with Alai being in a brand-new era. Loy is in this hopeful era, so he happily buried the toast and toast system to welcome a new life. The power of the toaster was supreme, arrogant and disappeared. The wars and conflicts of interest between chiefs and tribes are so real that there is no trace of man-made. I can't describe its beauty accurately in words. I even think that if I hadn't been in this culture and read a lot of materials, I wouldn't have written such a novel at all. This is a representation of past history. Life and death, love and hate, right and wrong of characters all go with history. When we face this period of history, some of them are just thrilling and at a loss.
If my predecessors say that I am shallow and ignorant and only know how to talk well, I have no quality as a critic at all, and I respectfully admit it. What can I do for a work that can't be written and only knows its various benefits, except heartfelt admiration?
Only after I have studied some literary theories can I comment on this work as the critics hope to see. Also, if there is no theory as a guide, where does criticism begin? Being a reader is much easier after all. I am a devout reader, not a critic. I'm just writing my thoughts after reading it.
When reading The Dust Settles, one of the books that won the contradictory literature prize was attracted by the mysterious world written by the author Alai and was deeply touched.
Kangba, a prominent Tibetan toast, gave birth to a silly son with his Han wife after drinking. This recognized fool is incompatible with real life, but he has a premonition and behavior beyond the times and has become a witness to the rise and fall of the toast system. The story of this novel is wonderful, tortuous and touching. With passionate pen and ink and detached eyes, it shows the rich national customs and the romantic mystery of the toast system.
Old McKee's toast has two sons. This gentleman is smart and brave, and is regarded as the heir of the toast. The second young master was born dull and has long been excluded from the inheritance of power. He hung out with maids and servants all day and witnessed the joys and sorrows of slaves.
Under the guidance of Commissioner Huang, the toast planted various crops on his own territory. He quickly became rich, and quickly formed a powerful armed force and became the overlord of the toast.
Seeing that Maggie's family became rich by opium, the rest of the toast tried their best to steal a wide variety, but the silly young master of Maggie's family suddenly suggested planting wheat, so he stubbornly planted the green wheat seedlings of Maggie's family in the sea of flowers everywhere in the plateau area. It was a good year with good weather and bumper wheat harvest, while opium supply in other toast areas exceeded demand, and Aba area was shrouded in the shadow of famine and death. A large number of hungry people defected to Maggie's command, which made the territory and population of Maggie's family reach an unprecedented scale. Just as the toast of all walks of life was sitting in the sad city and was in a desperate situation, he heard the good news that the second young master opened a warehouse to sell grain and made a fair deal. This is enough to see the foresight and superhuman wisdom of the so-called master fool.
Soon, a tent appeared next to the official village of the second young master, which contained a restaurant, an inn, a shop and a door. At the suggestion of Master Huang, the second young master gradually established a tax system and opened a bank. In this way, the embryonic form of commercial market town with modern significance appeared for the first time in the ancient and closed Aba area. Although this second young master is considered a fool, he has made great contributions to the development of Aba area. I think he should be a hero.
However, this aroused the hatred of my brother, and in this way, a succession war within blood shed's family began quietly. Later, the official village of the Maiqi family collapsed in the rumbling sound of the People's Liberation Army suppressing the remnants of the Kuomintang. Disputes and vendettas have disappeared, and an old world has finally settled down. It is also interesting to say that the silly young master bears the reputation of dementia, but acts as the embodiment of wisdom. Maybe the world itself has a wrong distinction between wise men and fools?
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world" and "those who know the times are heroes", but the fool in the eyes of ordinary people is the real hero. Anyone who blocks the wheel of history will eventually be crushed to pieces. People have different opinions about this so-called fool. Some people think that his image is exaggerated and somewhat divorced from reality. Others think that it is his unconstrained style that makes the novel open and close freely. In my opinion, one thing is undeniable: it is the existence of this unworthy fool that makes the grotesque and absurd in the novel an exciting turning point in the story, and makes this last elegy full of prosperity with gorgeous luster. It is this silly young master who led us through time and space, across the land and across the nation, and let us witness the last scene before the collapse of the toast in Kangba, witnessing the noise and turmoil of the alternation of two eras. Suddenly I feel that Alai's "Dust Settled" is a song sung with heart. So, I closed my eyes, as if I really heard an epic melody, floating in cadence.
The dust settles, reading notes 5 This is a land where "bones separate people". Free men and slaves under the toast system make "being king on a small land" a supreme dream. The author uses the eyes of a "fool" endowed with supreme power by "bones" to let readers observe the practices of many "smart people", but he only believes in the protective layer under the toast system and understands it. Self-righteousness will eventually be eliminated by the times, and "fools" have a foresight. He said: "People are actually afraid of the truth", so his father is afraid to pass it on to him. "Smart" brother is afraid of his competition, because he is true. "Smart" people have been immersed in their vanity and dare not face up to "worrying about the sky".
His real feeling is that he loves a person to the point of "bubbles in his bones", that he is ruling the country by virtue, that he really makes his followers obey with empathy and compassion, and that he does not just enslave them feudally. He attaches importance to those "bad words" and is willing to listen to public opinion, which is also reflected in his decision to make everyone a free citizen before the red Han people come to shell the stockade. This is the reason why he went further, and it is worth learning. The dust settles "is also thought by" fools "many times. The collapse of the dusty stone stockade also proved that the toast system was eliminated, and there was no king on the land, big or small.
