關于有關了不起的蓋茨比讀書感悟1
在很久之前曾經讀過這一本書,故事的構成到現在的記憶已經模糊,只知道這是一個求而不得的愛情故事。但是卻一直沒有領略到蓋茨比的了不起體現在哪里?
但我想這本書有如此高的評價,也并非只是講述了一個男子追求心愛女子的故事這么淺顯的故事。我想是我自己太過淺薄了還沒有體會到這一個故事想表達的東西。因而又重新去體會了一遍這個故事。
說實話,這個故事并不是我喜歡的有完美結局的故事。但是讀完之后,仍然覺得心緒難平,想通過一個渠道去宣泄下心里的情緒。我無法說出來一個故事為什么最后會呈現那樣一個結局,如此悲傷而自然的結局。
故事用有個場景,讓我到現在想起來都可以體會到那個時候的張力。就像我在現場,看著故事發生,我都緊張的屏住呼吸。在尼克的家里,蓋茨比終于要見到一直在等到與守候的心上人——黛西,一個已嫁作他人婦,但是仍然放不下的黛西。
通過作者的筆觸,你可以體會到尼克那時候期盼與緊張的心情,以及黛西見到舊情人的時候的羞澀與不安。相顧無言,只有動作在傳遞著一些情緒。我想那個時候的尼克,看見自己一直遙望的綠燈出現在自己觸手可及的地方的時候的心情,是欣喜還是心酸?
隨后的故事,像是啟動了命運的車輪,越轉越快,最終蓋茨比成為了犧牲品。但是最令人悲傷的是蓋茨比的葬禮,黛西沒有來,往常來往于他的宴會的人也沒有來,生意伙伴沒有來,只有一個心里面有一點親情和貪婪的老父親出現。還有一個人,那就是尼克。
葬禮的無人問津和宴會上的觥籌交錯,讓人覺得恍惚到離奇。輝煌時身邊人的絡繹不絕,跌落谷底時的少有人的支持。
人性的悲涼,嫉妒,逃避責任,有時候不經意間就推動了一個生命的沉淪。

每個人都能從蓋茨比的身上看到自己的影子,我也是。
書名對蓋茨比做出了評價,了不起,在于他對于這部分“夢想”的堅持,一顆心的赤誠。故事的結尾充滿了悲涼,充滿了那個年代里的人性的冷漠與人情的薄涼。生前財富與榮華帶來的熱熱鬧鬧,對比著,葬禮的冷冷清清,蓋茨比畢生追求的,或許只是為了可以與黛西那個階層的匹配,他的內心是真誠的,只是最后得到的是“背負著早已忘卻的夢走過一年又一年,守望著虛無”,那五年他守望與堅持的,是一份想象,美好的想象,“美國夢”般的想象。只可惜到最后夢碎了,滿是悲涼。
黛西和蓋茨比根本不是一個世界里的人。其實黛西所處的環境,她所在的那個階層,根本無法體會蓋茨比,她只是想要一份快樂,一份安逸,她根本不會為了一份所謂的真摯的感情而放下她擁有的,哪怕是冒一丁點的風險。
“被真相傷害總比被謊言安慰好”,對蓋茨比的一生,我總感到惋惜。有時在想,若是五年前蓋茨比可以接受現實,懂了過去的終歸是過去,那或者又是另一番結局。
細細想來,我又何嘗不是如此,當接受了所有的現實,發現即使再回到那年,也早已沒了那年的冬天,沒了那年的自己,過去了的也早已過去。我很感激,感激曾經的那份感覺帶給我的,一種溫暖如陽光,一種一直鼓勵我往前走的向上的力量。
我很欣賞對生活認真的人,早已過了耳聽言語的小小年紀,聆聽自己的心,用心感受,追求著讓自己更為舒服的生活,一種方式。可以無趣,但貴在真實。
“躲得過對酒當歌的夜,躲不過四下無人的街”,若現實如此,我依然喜歡這座城市,依然喜歡在這里的感覺。

上周一口氣讀了《了不起的蓋茨比》,這是一本在美國很有名的書,在美國人心目中,它對美國人的`心靈產生了很大的影響。
二十世紀二十年代的美國,空氣里彌漫著歡歌與縱飲的氣息。一個偶然的機會,窮職員尼克從美國西部來到紐約追尋自己的夢想,從事起債券生意,無意中他闖入了揮金如土的大富翁蓋茨比隱秘的世界,驚訝地發現,他內心唯一的牽絆竟是河對岸那盞小小的綠燈——燈影婆娑中,住著心愛的黛西。然而,冰冷的現實容不下縹緲的夢,到頭來,蓋茨比心中的女神只不過是凡塵俗世、任性不負責任的物質女郎。而蓋茨比走后,卻無人問津,無論生意伙伴還是朋友門客。當一切真相大白,蓋茨比的悲劇人生亦如煙花般,璀璨只是一瞬,幻滅才是永恒。最終尼克在紐約沒有帶走一片云彩,選擇了回家,而蓋茨比卻留給了他一個現實的故事和深刻的思考。
現在的中國,有多少懷揣夢想的“尼克”,我想自己也是其中一個。當然不是每個尼克都會遇到并執著于某個物質女郎。有些“尼克”功成名就,但是卻也傷痕累累;有些“尼克”想明白,看明白了,選擇了對自己真正重要的東西;更多的“尼克”迷失了。往往我們過分執著于什么,就越容易在什么中迷失,經常走的太遠。我想我們需要停下來,休息一下,靜靜的思考,讓自己的靈魂跟上。
生活只有一次機會,不可重來。
“The American Dream”reflected in The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F.Scott Fitzgerald.The first time I finished reading it, I treated it as a love tragic story.Gatsby’s love for Daisy was so deep that he loved her for so many years and finally died because of her.However, it is a pity that Daisy was a fickle, shallow girl who only loved money, ease and material luxuty.I feel sorry for Gatsby’s love for a unworthy girl.In fact, the novel involves a much larger and less romantic scope.I came to realize it after knowing more about F.Scott Fitzgerald’s works and the background of the story.The Great Gatsby actually symbolized the disillusion of the American Dream.It shows a vivid picture of the 1920’s with its surface prosperity and underlying sadness.The 1920’s is a decade when Americans worship money and ease of life instead of the original American Dream that dreaming of a better, richer and happier life for all citizens of every rank.The tragedy of Gatsby is an example of the failure of the American Dream.It can be analyzed from people’s pursuit of money, status and love.Money was of great importance during that period of time.It can be found from every aspect of people’s life.Firstly, money was a necessity for love and marriage.Gatsby was penniless when Daisy fell in love with him.They could not get married without money.Thus, Gatsby left to make money for his love.However, Daisy didn’t wait for him but married Tom, an arrogant, hypocritical man who had no moral qualms but money.From it we can see that Daisy chose money, not love.Secondly, people can do anything for money.For example, in order to make money, Gatsby chose to smuggle alcohol and do other criminal activities.These activities were of high risks, but Gatsby was willing to do them for money.Thirdly, money was more important than family kinship.At the funeral of Gatsby, his father didn’t show much sorrow for his son’s death, but were more proud of his son’s wealth.In his eye’s, money was more important than his son.Finally, money could make a normal person a celebrity.At the beginning of the novel, the author spent a lot of ink to describe the gorgeous mansion Gatsby lived, the luxurious car he owned, and the grand parties he held.These things made Gatsby popular in the town and these things all came from money.From above it can be concluded that money was the very pursuit of people in that period of time.Status was also a very important thing people try to pursue.Firstly, it can be reflected from Gatsby’s love for Daisy.Why did Gatsby loved Daisy but not other girls? This was because to Gatsby, Daisy represented the paragon of perfection—she has the aura of charm, wealth, sophistication, grace, and aristocracy that he longed for as a child in North Dakota.All her characters were endowed by her status.Secondly, in the novel, the town was divided into East Egg and West Egg.People like Daisy and Tom lived on the East Egg presented American aristocracy(families with old wealth), and people like Gatsby lived in the West Egg presented newly rich industrialists and speculators.Fitzgerald portrays the newly rich as being vulgar, gaudy, ostentatious, and lacking in social graces and taste.Gatsby, for example, lives in a monstrously ornate mansion, wears a pink suit, drives a Rolls-Royce, and does not pick up on subtle social signals, such as the insincerity of the Sloanes’ invitation to lunch.In contrast, the old aristocracy possesses grace, taste, subtlety, and elegance, epitomized by the Buchanans’ tasteful home and the flowing white dresses of Daisy and Jordan Baker.Thus, it can be concluded that the newly rich admired the aristocracy’s status.Gatsby’s pursuit for Daisy also reflected the American Dream.Daisy was beautiful, charming
and grace, but she was also shallow, bored and sardonic.In reality, therefore, Daisy falls far short of Gatsby’s ideals.Daisy proves her real nature when she chooses Tom over Gatsby in Chapter VII, then allows Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle Wilson even though she herself was driving the car.Finally, rather than attend Gatsby’s funeral, Daisy and Tom move away, leaving no forwarding address.With the pursuits corrupted, Gatsby's American dream is inevitably doomed.Gatsby died in line with the disillusionment of the American Dream.Furthermore,Gatsby is merely a typical representative of the thousands of Americans in 1920s.Through the archetypal story of Gatsby, Fitzgerald tells us that the distorted and perverted American dream in 1920s is doomed a disillusionment.
