In this summer, I read another book Wuthering Heights. Wuthering Heights is written by Emily Bronte. After reading that book, the love and the hatred between Catherine and Heath Cliff still linger in my head./r/n
Catherine, the heroine in the book, is described as a capricious and selfish girl. She is just like Heath Cliff, doesn’t know how to love at all./r/n
Anyway, Wuthering Heights left an indelible impression on me, cold and withering. However, at the end of the book, the author shows us that the human being’s kindness is not diminished at Wuthering heights, even though the wind can break off a tree, that doesn’t mean it can break off the whole forest. Even though hatred destroyed Heath Cliff, Catherine, Edgar and Elizabeth’s happiness, that doesn’t mean Cathy and Hareton’s happiness.
Uncaring or unsympathizing parents are shown throughout this story to be an element of destructive relationships. Because Heathcliff gained all the attention from Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley became disassociated from his father. This separation continued until after Mr. Earnshaw had died.Another example is between Hindley and Hareton. Hindley became such a drunk and a gambler that he could not properly care for young Hareton. This led to a separation between Hareton and his father as well. One primary example of an uncaring parent is shown between Heathcliff and his son Linton.Heathcliff did not even want his son for anything except enacting a part of his revenge. This is shown by Linton's fear of Heathcliff and Heathcliff's enmity toward his son. Linton even says "... my father threatened me, and I dread him - I dread him!"(244) to express his feeling about Heathcliff.The hostility and separation between father and son in this book shows that uncaring parents can cause serious damage in relationships with their children.
In this summer, I read another book Wuthering Heights. Wuthering Heights is written by Emily Bronte. After reading that book, the love and the hatred between Catherine and Heath Cliff still linger in my head.
The story begun with a mistake that made by Lockwood, a temporary resident. He is seeking shelter from the blizzard he staggers through the door of Wuthering Heights, finding the atmosphere inside is just as cold as ice. The master of the house, Heath Cliff, provides a bed reluctantly and it seems like that he feels ill at ease with his visitor’s coming. There's a sad tale behind his indifference, one which the elderly housekeeper Nelly Dean is happy to share.
Forty years ago, Wuthering Heights was filled with light, warmth and happiness. Mr.Earnshaw, a congenial gentleman farmer, lives happily with his boisterous children Cathy and Hindley. However, being a kind and generous fellow, he can't help rescuing a poor starving wretch off of the streets of Liverpool, a gypsy child named Heath Cliff. In time Heath Cliff becomes one of the family, loved by all people except Hindley，the son of Mr.Earnshaw . Cathy is an especially good childhood friend, spending many a happy day playing on the moor with Heath Cliff. Unfortunately Mr.Earnshaw dies suddenly; Hindley is able to express his enmity with damning cruelty. In order to air his grievance, he reduced Heath Cliff to a servant.
Later, Catherine is forced to marry Edgar. Heath Cliff’s heart is broken, so he leaves Wuthering Heights. After three years, he comes back to Wuthering Heights with wealth. Catherine has married Edgar, but not happiness. Heath Cliff begins to revenge crazily. He takes away Hindley’s belongings by gambling. Then, Hindley gets drunk and die, his son Hareton became slaves. Heath Cliff also marries Edgar's sister Isabella deliberately and persecute her in all the ways. Catherine is miserable inside and then dies of dystocia. Ten years later, Heath Cliff makes Edgar’ daughter Catherine marry to his dying son Linton. Edgar and small Linton dies, Heath Cliff owes Edgar’s property finally. Heath Cliff revenges successfully, but he couldn’t stop missing the dead Catherine, and then he dies. Small Catherine and Hareton inherit all the property and they finally fall in love with each other.
Actually, there isn’t such a character that I really like in Wuthering Heights. Every character seems teemed with agony and animosity, especially Heath Cliff. Heath Cliff is an orphan before Mr. Earnshaw adopts him, and in the novel, Mr. Earnshaw treats Heath Cliff even nicer than his own son, Hindley Earnshaw. It’s quite amazing that in spite of Earnshaw’s nice treatment, Heath Cliff has no gratitude at all, he revenged Hindley and Catherine, even their heirs. After reading Heath Cliff’s story, my feeling is complicated, although he is the avenger who dominate the whole story by using his vengeful machinations, he is also the most pitiful guy in Wuthering Heights; he doesn’t know what is love and don’t know how to love. Heath Cliff has lived with the Earnshaws for more than 10 years, but there is no attachment between him and the whole family except Catherine. However, even Catherine was died because of Heath Cliff’s torture. When he is torturing others, he is also giving himself a suffering.
Catherine, the heroine in the book, is described as a capricious and selfish girl. She is just like Heath Cliff, doesn’t know how to love at all.
Anyway, Wuthering Heights left an indelible impression on me, cold and withering. However, at the end of the book, the author shows us that the human being’s kindness is not diminished at Wuthering heights, even though the wind can break off a tree, that doesn’t mean it can break off the whole forest. Even though hatred destroyed Heath Cliff, Catherine, Edgar and Elizabeth’s happiness, that doesn’t mean Cathy and Hareton’s happiness.
Thoughts or reflections on reading Wuthering Heights
The book was written by Emily Bronte, it published in 1847.But at that time, it seemed to hold little promise, selling very poorly and receiving only a few mixed reviews. I found this in our school
library, I chose this book because the title attracted me. The book is structured around two parallel love stories, the first half of the novel centering on the love between Catherine and Heathcliff, while the less dramatic second half features the developing love between young Catherine and Hareton. In contrast to the first, the latter tale ends happily, restoring peace and order to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. In the story, the two houses, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, represent opposing worlds and values.
I spent twenty days reading this book. After reading this book, I felt for Heathcliff at first. Heathcliff begins his life as a
homeless orphan on the streets of Liverpool, and then he tyrannized by Hindley Earnshaw. But he becomes a villain when he acquires power and returns to Wuthering Heights with money and the trappings of a gentleman. His malevolence proves so great and long—lasting. As he himself points out, his abuse of Isabella—his wife is purely sadistic, as he amuses himself by seeing how much abuse she can take and still come cringing back for more.
Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high, lively spirits and her occasional cruelty. She loves Heathcliff so intensely that she claims they are the same person. However, her actions are driven in part by her social ambitions, which initially are awakened during her first stay at the Lintons, and which eventually compel her to marry Edgar. Catherine is free—spirited, beautiful, spoiled, and often arrogant, she is given to fits of temper, and she is torn
between her both of the men who love her. The location of her coffin symbolizes the conflict that tears apart her short life. She is buried in a corner of the Kirkyard. In contrast to Catherine,
Isabella Linton—Catherine’s sister—in—law represents culture and civilization, both in her refinement and in her weakness. Ultimately, she ruins her life by falling in love with Heathcliff. He never returns her feelings and treats her as a meretool in his quest for revenge on the Linton family.
Just as Isabella Linton serves as Catherine’s foil, Edgar Linton serves as Heathcliff’s. Edgar grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man. He is almost the ideal gentleman. However, this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in Edgar’s clashes with his foil.

In college, I always to improve their overall quality as the goal, to self-all-round development as the direction of efforts to establish a correct outlook on life, values and world view. In order to meet the needs of social development, I earnestly study all kinds of professional knowledge and give full play to my specialty. We will tap their own potentials and combine with the opportunity of summer social practice every year to gradually improve their ability of learning and analyzing and dealing with problems.Coordination of organizational and managerial competencies.
Three years of college life is the key point of my life. Three years of campus life and social practice I continue to challenge themselves, enrich themselves, to achieve the value of life and lay a solid foundation. Has always been that people should be old to learn the old I am knowledgeable, the meticulous of the professional, which has been affirmed in the results, each year have been third - class scholarships. In not satisfied with the theory of course, but also focus on practice.
Learning, I did not let myself down, the results have been among the best.Scholarships are awarded each year. I am a mechanical and electrical professional, know not only the theoretical knowledge, but also practical ability, so I often participate in practical activities. Now is the information age, learning the professional at the same time, I also conducted a computer learning, through efforts to get the national computer grade three. I learned a lot of new things, I am very willing to help people who need help, and greatly improve their self-learning ability. Then there is learned to use the learning method at the same time pay attention to independent thinking.To learn hard only hard to learn is not enough, to learn "methods" to do things. I have come here to learn the purpose of "fishing", but it is easier said than done, I changed a good many ways to do what is diligent in thinking, the case of the old man, There do not know where to diligent to ask.In learning, to "independent thinking" as their motto, always remember not to alert. With the progress of learning, I not only learned the basic knowledge of the public and a lot of professional knowledge, my mind has also been a qualitative leap, to a more rapid grasp of a new technical knowledge, I think this is very important for the future. In the study of knowledge this time, I and teachers to establish a strong friendship between teachers and students.The teacher's earnest teaching, so I realized the fun of learning. I and many students around, but also established a good learning relationship, help each other to overcome the difficulties. Now I have to face graduation, is doing graduate design, I became the design team leader, but also exercise the self-hands and analysis of problem-solving ability, benefit.
Ideologically, the fine style, treat people sincere, can better deal with interpersonal relations, doing things calm and stable, can reasonably arrange the affairs of life. For the community for the school for the students to do things for the people around is no longer feel cumbersome, but very happy to do and can be satisfied and happy, not to think about doing their own things, others less control. And has been in the pursuit of personality sublimation, pay attention to their own conduct. I worship people who have great charisma, and have always wanted to be able to do it myself. In college life, I insist on self-reflection and strive to improve their own personality. Now I understand the reason, willing to help others not only to cast a noble character, but also get a lot of their own interests to help others but also to help themselves. Looking back over the past few years, I have been very happy to have helped the students when I was in trouble. Similarly, my classmates also gave me a helping hand when I was in trouble. For the teacher, I have always been very respected, because they are in a loss when I guide to help me. Without the help of a teacher, I might not know where to go. I now realize that character is not so much a personal character to run, as it is the responsibility of the individual society as a whole. A person living in this world, you have to bear some responsibility to the community obligations, with a noble character, you can correctly understand their responsibilities, in the contribution to achieve their own value.
Life, I use spare time and vacation time outside to find part-time, do tutoring, but also exercise my social skills. In school life, let me learn a reasonable self-care life.
As a year university graduates, I have a young and knowledge. Young may mean lack of experience, but young also means enthusiasm and vitality, I am confident that with their own ability and knowledge in the work and life after graduation to overcome difficulties, and constantly realize the value of life and the pursuit of self-goal.
