holes英文读后感

my reading responses about the 《Holes》by Louis Sachar I have to say that it is indeed a great works of children's Literature after I spent the shortest time in reading the "Holes",and i`d like to talk about my impression for this work by Louis Sachar. First,the name of chinese edition of the holes is “别有洞天”，i reckon it`s not a appropriate name in my opinion,and I said so because chinese people usually use the idiom “别有洞天”to describe the peculiar ,fascinating scenery, which is a entirely different world.the word Holes generally has two meanings in the novel,one meaning is the holes showed throughout the text,which the child laborers in the Green Lake Camp digged on the dry riverbed of the Green Lake everyday, five feet deep, five feet wide;antother meaning is the extended meaning of the holes.Child laborers are digging everyday on the river bed, but none of them is dug for themselves, they lived suffering and dull lives, but nothing could bring them relief ever, Stanley and Zero just dug a hole for themselves ,but that made them find the wealth left by kissin` Kate Barlow. Peple live our daily lives day by day, but perhaps not one day is lived for ourselves , nor for our dreams, we `ve tried so hard to escape the negative ends time and time again , we laugh and sneer at others, making fun of them,but we`ve never done any careful intention of our own future.A hole can become into a burying tomb, yet it can also bring us wealth. Do not dig for others, but do it for ourselves, and no need to dig that many holes ,just one ,you insist on digging and maybe it is the one buried with great wealth.I think that is why Stanley said "I guess you have to fill in the rest of the holes yourself."in the end of the text. Neverthless,the translator didn`t understand Louis Sachar`s exquisite design apparently.So,from my view,I think the name 《洞》or《斯坦利的洞》will be better. Second,the Holes is a funny and poignant coming-of-age adventure with quirky and intricate plot.The leading man in the novel,Stanley Yelnats,an unusual young hero,dogged by bad luck stemming from an ancient family curse,made a deep impression on me. The whole article from beginning to end is trying to create an oppressive atmosphere: Yes, that is oppression. Sam and Kate's romance and death is a kind of oppression; digging reform in labor "prison" is a sort of oppression;racial discrimination is oppressive;Mr. Pendanski discriminated against young criminals； Warden ruled Mr., Sir, and Pendanski and the two men were forced to obey; The weather is oppressive: hot, wet, thirst, irritability · · · · · · all of this people feeled depressed. At the very beginning, the children got into the Green Lake Camp only be required to dig everyday, the purpose of doing so is to shape the personality , but it was not until the Yelnats and Zero came back to the hole where they`ve found Kate`s lipstick and continued digging ,the secret of digging was able to known around the world, and therefore plot made a sharp turn from here, the warden's ambition was exposed;for the juvenile in the camp green Lake ,their fates was finally ushered in a turning point. Stanley and Zero ,two boys destined to meet ,thus finally come together.They finally unlock the secret behind the Green Lake Camp Holes by virtue of the wisdom and courage , Stanley also discharge the winding 150-year-long family curse, the Zero was finally reunited with his long-lost mother, Stanley`s father poured the onions and peaches inadvertently into the pot, but accidentally developed a significant effect of shoes deodorant ——sploosh！ In the end Yelnets family and Zero inherited wealth in the case left by Kate Barlow.Good Luck followed, the first half of the section is repression, constant doom, hit by a pair of smelly shoesfall from the sky, also chased by police car, posters on the wall ,Stanley father`s invention on shoes deodorant... ... a series of coincidences became the evidence showed stanley stole the Clyde Livingston`s shoes , and stanley was so ignorant to accept their own "judgment", facing his idol `s scorn resulted in nothing but weak rebuttal.After go to the green lake camp. Stanley had been bullied by D`tent`s campmates:Squid、Armpit、ZigZag、Magnet and X-ray .Chubby body gives Stanley also a slight advantage in the body of peers but did not let him get any respect from problem children. At last stanley through his own effortChanged the fate of the whole family and his certainly,the warden as well as her henchmen ,Mr.Sir and Mr. Pendanski were arrested.Stanely also find his own voice to defend himself, "she's lying, I did not steal!"Finally he was no longer that little yes-boy. Green Lake Camp has also been investigated and taken over, and the Camp Green Lake usher in a heavy rain, the children rejoicing a rain ,cheering,jumping.Since here, an elimination atmosphere and scattered, history can be changed from depression to a crisp bad luck to good luck, before and after makes sharp contrast, the implementation can be described as that dead end but in reality unique character of the whole story of interlocking, and finally filled with the color of comedy and redemption. In the end ,I want to say this novel makes me understand the truth that:the fate is can not be changed, if your fate is really destined, then no matter what you do to change it doesn`t work, if it`s not your fate, you don`t bother to change it.Choosing change the fate deliberately is only a kind of escape, even if you`re destined to accept the continuation of the tragedy of the previous generation, but you still choose to face ,then your fate would be truly changed ever. the children take over and live their own lives, regardless of how suffering and painful , so this is happiness yet.(命运是无法可以改变的，自己真是那个命，怎么改都没有用，不是那就更不用改了，刻意的去改变命运只是一种逃避，即使要延续上一代的悲剧，却依然选择面对，这才是真正的改变命运，孩子能走自己的人生，无论怎样的苦与痛都能活下去，这就是幸福。)
