圣诞欢歌读后感(精选3篇)
《圣诞欢歌》,看到这个名儿,给我的第一感觉这本书是描写外国圣诞节的美景、习俗的写景书。可是我错了,当读过书之后我才发现其实这本书叙述一个老头——埃比尼泽·斯克罗吉转变的过程,通过一个生前与他一样作为的合作伙伴雅各布·马利的鬼魂和三个拯救他的昔日、今日、未来圣诞鬼魂的光顾,使他在除夕夜一夜之间从一个吝啬、冷漠、不愿帮助穷人的富翁老头变成了位心中充满热情,爱助人为乐的善良老人的故事。
这本书的内容表面上是在讲述一个神话故事,实际里边儿蕴藏着一个道理,这个道理我觉得用一个名人的生前事迹就能足以说明,这个人就是雷锋。雷锋同志生前是位助人为乐、“做好事不留名”的解放军战士,他做过的好事犹如银河里的繁星多得数也数清。有一次,雷锋的战友接到家书,战友家里已经穷到吃上顿愁下顿的程度,雷锋得知此事,以战友的名义为战友家里定期寄去自己辛辛苦苦攒的血汗钱,就这样悄悄的坚持了几年之久哇!这不是一般人能够做到的,尤其当时雷锋的处境也是相当困难的。比起书中人物斯克罗吉的从前,那自然是惭愧不已,他曾说过这样的话:“世界上的人太多了,所以如果有一部分穷人想死的话,这未必不是一件好事。至于救济穷人这些都与我无关,一个人清楚自己该做些什么就够了,用不着考虑别人的事。”我觉得,一个人如果能说出这样的话,这个人真是无药可救了。但,通过他的良心发现,他认识到了自己的罪过,人变的和气多了。
助人为乐是我们中华民族的传统美德,我们要向雷锋同志学习,学习他那种帮助别人的精神。
The spirit of Christmas Carol is to give, to forgive, and to love others. I get this message from the story A Christmas Carol , which is written by Charles Dickens, a famous English writer in the 19th century. It is about a miserly Englishman named Ebenezer Scrooge, who met three ghosts in a night and then became the best old man in England.
The change happened in this way: Ebenezer Scrooge was a greedy and lonely man. He wanted to spend all his days working so as to make more money. He had a clerk called Bob Cratchit, and he also wanted him to work all day long without raising his salary. As Scrooge never felt that he had made enough money he never felt happy, not even on Christmas. Bob did not feel happy either, because he had to work all the year round with no weekends, holidays, not even Christmas, yet still being unable to support his family with his small salary.
On one Christmas Day, when Scrooge went home after work, there was something strange happening in his house. After he sat down on his sofa to have a tea, a ghost appeared before him. It was Scrooge's old partner, Marley! Scrooge was frightened. The ghost of Marley was chained up by a long iron chain. He told Scrooge that he needed to change his bad ways otherwise he would also be chained up when he died with even a much longer chain. He also told Scrooge that there would be three ghosts coming to vist him that night. And then the ghost left him and went away.
When the clock struke twelve, the ghost of Christmas Past appeared. It took him to his boyhood. He was a lonely and unfortunate boy. Every one forgot him, even his family. Only his younger sister remembered him. This made Scrooge remember that he had sent a boy away, who was singing Christmas Carol in front of his office yesterday. He felt really sorry for the boy.
When the clock struke one, the ghost of Christmas Present appeared. It took him to Bob's house. Although Bob's family were not very rich, they still had a good Christmas party. They drank for each one's health. But when they came to drink for Scrooge's health, everyone looked sad. They thought Scrooge was good for nothing. Then the ghost took him to Scrooge's nephew's house. They were having a Christmas party too. They were talking about Scrooge. They thought Scrooge was a miser who did not use his money to do anything good. Scrooge made a reflection on how to spend his money doing good deeds after he heard this.
Soon the clock struk two and the ghost of Christmas Future came. It took Scrooge to a funeral house. It was his own funeral but no one was sorry for him. This made Scrooge know that if he did not change his miserly ways, he would have an awful result and a miserable death. No one would miss him when he died. This trip gave Scrooge a good warning and he became a generous and kind man ever since the next day. He sent a turkey to Bob and gave to the poor. Most importantly, he gave Bob a pay-rise!
The spirit of Christmas is to give, to forgive, and to love others. A man who gets a lot of money but with no generosity will never live a happy life. He will spend a life of unhappiness and grievence. But a poor man with a generous heart will live his life in happiness and laughter. We need to forgive others when they hurt you or harm you, just like what Scrooge's nephew did in the story. He forgave Scrooge when Scrooge said something which hurt him a lot. We also need to love others, just like what Scrooge did at the end of the story. He sent a big turkey to Bob and gave him a pay-rise. Let us be generous and kind, both to the poor and the strangers, our friends and neighbors. In that way we will live a happy and lovely life in the world!
A Christmas Carol is one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, who is a Criticism writer in the 19th century. His works mainly reflect the reality. So I like his works very much.
Charles Dickens was born in 1812, England. He had many difficulties during his childhood. However, these experiences enriched his life, at the same time, supporting many writing materials for his writing. He wrote more than 20 novels in all, reflecting the hate to the money and the sympathy to the common people. His works, such as Great Expectations, a Tale 0f Tw0 Cities, were affected by many readers.
This novel told a people who regard money as important as his own life---Scrooge. Even on Christmas Eve, he was also quite mean to everybody. There are five chapters in all. Chapter 1 introduced scrooge's character and Marley, his friend's ghost. The language was very beautiful and active. I like this part best. As followed there was a part of word to describe Scrooge: he was a hard man with money, hard as a stone. He was a secret self-contained man; friendless and alone .the coldness inside him froze his old face. His eyes were red. His thin lips were blue. Cold seemed to stiffen his way of walking. The hair on his head and above his eyes was white, white as snow. He carries this coldness with him always wherever he went. This part illustrated Scrooge was a cold man. He grasped the money tightly. As the following story, Scrooge refused his nephew invitation to have the dinner with his family. And he always scolded the Christmas is humbug. He didn't believe the existence of Christmas and didn't want to share his happiness and money with others. He had dinner in an inn and then went home. He had rooms in a house which had once belonged to Marley. Scolded sat quietly on the coach. But suddenly there is a big knocker on the door. It was Marley's ghost. The ghost was bound by the heavy chain and told Scrooge its tragic fate. The ghost told Scrooge that three spirits will come to Scrooge and then faded away.
From chapter 2 to chapter 4, it talked about the three spirits. The first spirit stood for the past. It showed the happy times in the past of Scrooge. In the past Scrooge always said “Merry Christmas” to whoever he met. He loved life and enjoyed everything in his life. In this part the spirit also showed the first work of Scrooge. His boss, Fezziwig, treated them very well on Christmas. But Scrooge gradually changed. He loved money more than his lover. So his lover parted with him. It's the money that made Scrooge lost many things. The second stands for the present. in this part , Scrooge is a greedy man . He has no mercy to everything and waste of his time. The third spirit stands for the future. In this part, it showed that Scrooge regret what he had done. And Scrooge was impressed at last. He understood money is not the only thing that is worth to reserve. Love and care were important too.
At the last chapter, that is chapter 5, Scrooge changed himself and gave mercy to the poor. And he had dinner with his nephew.
All in all, this story has a perfect end. Form this story, I realized that in this world, money is not everything. We also need love and help.
