小城女人讀后感

（一）原 味 生 活

——讀余小偶《小城女人》有感

任連巨

余小偶女士囑我為其新近出版的小說《小城女人》寫一則評論，思忖良久始終沒能提筆，原因很多，其中最主要的原因有兩個，一是自己從未寫過文學評論，勉強為之怕貽笑大方，二是我知道每位作家的每部作品，都來源于作者多年的生活積淀，是融入了作者本人經歷的各種酸甜苦辣才釀就的醇醪，個中滋味也只有作者自己體味的更深更透。作為一名讀者，我們對作品的品讀往往會帶著自己的生活經歷，來做出自己判斷。正如一千個人的眼中會有一千個哈姆雷特，我怕自己的解讀有違于作者的原意，為此而惶恐，慎之又慎，久久不能落筆。但苦于盛情難卻，只能談一點粗淺的看法，不當之處望與作者商榷。

品讀書中的每一篇文章，在反觀書名，覺得作者小偶真可謂匠心獨運，全書突出了“小城”和“女人”兩個詞匯。

先說說“小城”之小，作品是以一個小縣城為背景，寫的是一個小小的生活圈里一些小小的生活畫面，逛街購物、廚房烹調、家人小聚、夫妻情調。即沒有對世界風云變換的關注，也沒有著眼國家的政事要聞，全書寫的都是生活瑣事，柴米油鹽，可謂“鍋碗瓢盆交響曲”,但早已厭倦了喧囂與浮躁的人們，正是在這些小人物小事件里領悟了生活的真諦——最平凡的卻是最真實、最美好的。作品中體現出來的真摯純美的友情、包容和諧的愛情、溫馨幸福的情親，無不令人羨慕和感動。是的，小偶沒有豪華的別墅，沒有名牌的轎車，但比起那些丑聞爆屏的影視明星、體育明星來，她的這些真實的、小小的幸福才是最令人艷羨的。

小偶的作品突出地描寫了一個小女人的普通生活。小偶是個職業女性，高級中學的一名普通教師，一個孩子眼中的“大人”但無論在“胖哥”丈夫眼里還是在父母公婆面前她都是一個小女人?！囤s早市》、《爭當二把手》相較于丈夫的做事利落，霸道與粗放，小偶就顯示出小女人的瑣屑“屈就”和羞澀；《家庭批判會》寫出了一個小女人小小的虛榮心；《吃涼面》，《又吃涼面》，《巧婦日記》，《萬變水餃》，《醉蝦》、《大掃除》等篇文章里，一個居家的小女人形象呼之欲出，各種生活情趣更是表現的淋漓盡致。《回娘家》《婆婆媳媳過個年》《我的公公》描寫了母親、公公和婆婆，個個形象都那么真實可感，那么“接地氣”.小偶作為一名高中教師是很敬業的，作為女兒、兒媳、妻子、母親也是很盡職的。

小偶女士的作品要細細品讀，才能得真況味。

構思精巧，獨居匠心。書中的每一篇文章的篇幅都不長，看似行云流水，隨手拈來，但卻都是作者精心構思，布局謀篇的結果。如《夫妻情話》一文，丈夫好不容易陪妻子散步，妻子好像積累了好多話說，此刻妻子是傾訴者，丈夫便成了耐心的傾聽者。雖然每個問題丈夫只給出一個字的答案，幾個語氣詞，形容詞而已，但態度卻是鮮明的，妻子也是高興的。這樣的布局謀篇真是

巧思，不得不佩服小偶對文字的駕馭能力。

細膩精致，如春風細雨自然溫潤。作者以一位知識女性的感悟，對待生活，美化生活。不管日子是清貧時代，還是已初步步入小康，作者都已一種快樂而真摯的感情，以一種寵榮不驚的心態來對待每一天、每一件事。這種心態，不僅僅是表現在一個個“吃”的場景、情節上，還表現在對人物心理的把握上。父母子女之間，夫妻之間，兄弟姐妹之間，親朋好友之間，心中都有自己的“小小九”,因此善意的“謊言”、無公害的“欺騙”在所難免。不管是“小城女人”對丈夫“哄弄”,還是“小城男人”對女人的“做戲”,都刻畫的仔細入微。在打麻將中，諸位晚輩想“欺負”作者是“生手”,于脈脈親情中又耍著小聰明，“妄圖”以自己嫻熟的技藝來“宰”一下在外邊混世界“有錢人”一下，不想偷雞不成蝕把米，作者接二連三的“胡”,他們的“嘴臉”就暴露出來了——很不樂意，氣憤填膺！作者把幾位小“賭友”的心理，通過他們的話語和動作，淋漓盡致地表現了出來，一個形象栩栩如生，讓人忍俊不禁。凡此種種，一方面體現了作者的獨到的細膩而敏銳的觀察力，一方面又凸顯了作者不凡的文字功底。

由小見大，讓愛浸透于人生。我早已知道“余小偶”文學功底了得，她的一些短文我在網上看過，一些文友們談其她也是贊譽有加，但我與她真正接觸確是在參與縣作協工作之后。她的真名“孫玉芳”,是一位高級英語教師。2015年10月我有幸聽到

過她給學生講授的一堂“文學”輔導課，不凡的氣度，風趣的談吐，廣博的知識層面，幽默的英漢穿插，讓一百多位學生如癡如醉，課堂氣氛十分火爆而又井然有序。從同學們的表情和語氣中，我看出小偶是深受學生喜愛的老師。她獲得學生的認可和擁戴，與她的一位女性“純天然”的愛是分不開的，這在《小城女人》中占據了相當一部分篇幅的文章中，盡情地展露出來。如《我的公公》一文，把公公與兒媳之間，爺爺與孫子之間那種感情都表現得相當細膩而溫情。一般在農村，兒媳與公公之間是很少有“共同語言”的，也很少有心靈的溝通。一個知識女性，之所以得到公公的認可和關心，只能是自己的真心和真情使然。天長日久，相互理解，相互體諒，相互關心，才能真正融到一家人的生活中。形成命運共同體。當她興沖沖地拿出給公公的新毛衣時，公公卻不像往常那樣“高興”,或佯裝“不高興”,而是懶洋洋的。后來婆婆告訴她公公已經病了三天了，她不由“心疼”了，埋怨婆婆讓公公干活累的。這種感情，是發自內心的，是真情實感的流露。沒有自己的生活體驗，就沒有生活的真諦。因此在《回娘家》《婆婆媳媳過個年》《故鄉的大門》《姑奶奶兒陪靈》《爹說娘說我說》等等，都浸透著濃濃的親情。愛殷殷，情切切，似一根生命線，把小偶的情感世界貫穿于工作、生活、交友中，讓人感覺到春天的和煦，陽光的溫暖，生活的原味，生命的意義。

語言輕靈歡快，別具風格?！缎〕桥恕窙]有長篇大論，沒有夸夸其談。都是生活小事，平凡得不能再平凡。但作者對自己的所思所做，對他人他物的描寫，都是寥寥數語，言簡意賅，語言簡短而又靈動，活潑而不失幽默。這可能是《小城女人》一書有別于其他作者，而又魅力四射，讓人愛不釋手的原因之一吧。

有人說，文若其人。我與小偶接觸中，感覺她是一個性情中人，頭腦反應靈敏，說話的語速快，相比她的生活、工作的節奏也是很快，很講究實效的。我想一個平時生活中拖泥帶水，拖拖沓沓的人，是不會寫出這種充滿“靈氣”的作品的。

總而言之，我粗讀《小城女人》，感覺到這是“小城女人，大胸懷，大手筆”.但愿今后的小偶把自己放到更大的環境中，更大的世界里，讓自己的筆鋒更多觸及社會各個層面，讓更多的人物和事物在她的文章中得到盡情展現，為人們的生活帶來美妙享受，讓人們感受到世界的更多精彩。

小城女人讀后感

（二）至真至性方顯美

張淑春

——讀余小偶散文集《小城女人》有感

以從未有過的速度一氣呵成讀完余小偶的散文集《小城女人》。盡管多數篇章之前曾經拜讀，但那些信手拈來的生活片斷依舊能輕易引爆我的笑點。

這是一部突出紀實性兼具靈活性與趣味性的文學讀物。文章或長或短，或詩或文，均取材于作者自身或者身邊人的真實經歷。小偶文字多帶有自嘲自娛成分，但更具分享價值——讓讀者分享自己的快樂與感動，以及無處不在的生活感悟。

在這部散文集中，作者以詼諧幽默的語言，輕松活潑的文風，記錄那些偶然劃過腦海的人物或事件。或表達一份的莫名的感動，或對一件事一處風景乃至一句話有所頓悟。當這些蕩漾于作者心底的生活微瀾如汩汩流水從容瀉于筆端時，平日里那些紛繁瑣碎的生活細節也變得生動鮮活起來。

讀著《萬變水餃》，簡直被眼前這位家庭煮婦的烹調爛技給折服了。當然由此還讓我想起了當年姐姐初學縫紉時的類似遭遇：本來打算做一件長袖襖的，結果布剪壞了便改成短袖、接著又改成馬夾，最后衣服做不成了便直接縫成了小褥子。

而《小偶砍價記》則讓我想起那次陪小偶買西瓜的經歷。那天我們在一中大門口發現一賣西瓜的。小偶提議“過去看看的”.我說散步呢，買啥西瓜呀。小偶說：“不見得真買，咱先砍砍價?！碧炷兀易钼鸬木褪强硟r了，居然還有這嗜好。要不趁這機會跟小偶學學？于是隨小偶來到西瓜攤前。問完價錢后，小偶故作吃驚狀：

“啊？人家都賣五毛，你咋賣八毛？五毛賣吧？”

“切，批發都六毛，能賣五毛？我這是因為天黑了才便宜賣的，平時賣一塊呢?！辟u西瓜的小伙子一臉委屈。

“再便宜點兒吧大哥（其實小伙子年齡真不大），你在俺大門上賣，按說得收你攤位費呢！”

“那就七毛吧，不能再便宜了。”

“七毛太貴了，再便宜點兒吧哥，我身上錢不多?！?/p>

“已經夠便宜了，你去別處問問有這價么？”

“這位大哥咋這么難說話呢，再便宜點兒便宜點兒……”

當然最后也沒買，小偶還忿忿不平：“費這么多口舌才打下這么點兒，太讓我沒成就感了！”

有時我在想，小偶輕松活潑的文風可能得益于她愛湊熱鬧又擅長表達的個性。散文本來就是世俗化文學嘛。張愛玲曾直言：“我喜歡聽市聲?！毙∨紕t毫不掩飾地說自己喜歡看熱鬧。當婆婆得知她這一“陋習”后，遇村里有紅白事便及時通知她：你不是愛看熱鬧么，爽快看看的吧！

有段時間，我們晚上散步發現路上時常有交警查酒駕。()每遇交警攔截車輛時，小偶都難掩激動的心情上前打望，非要看看交警到底怎么處理那些“倒霉蛋兒”.小偶為文，常以細節打動人，這該歸功于其善于發現的眼睛。如在《鄉居手記》一文里，與鄰家兄嫂的拉呱、鄉親的質樸與善良、老娘的深懷歉疚、孩子的天真無邪甚至狗狗的動作與神態在她眼里都成了故事。所有這一切，看似一地雞毛，可誰又能說這不是生活本身？！

“四妹帶著三歲的龍龍來了，我把小汽車拿給他，他從兜里掏出一個橘子獎勵我，后來可能覺得獎品有點單薄，于是趁大家不注意，小家伙鄭重地對我說：‘你咋長得這么俊??？！’”這典型的偶式幽默讓我忍不住笑出聲來。

“想起早上娘對我說：‘你給你爹買的那件大衣，是他最喜歡的，每年過年他都穿。穿完掛在大衣櫥，那件大衣我沒送人，也沒燒，我留下來做個紀念。’這些話在安靜的夜里竟像小刀似地割起我的心來。我蓋上被子，允許自己想起爹來，我嗚嗚地哭了起來?！卑殡S著作者平和自然的敘事風格，聯想到這個剛剛失去頂梁柱的家庭，那一瞬間，我的淚點也被輕易突破。

綜觀小偶文章，大多飽含小女人情懷，偏向于女性的心理描寫。像《趕早市》、《一個人的排場》、《夫妻情話》等等，在體現作者真性情的同時，也讓女性慣用小伎倆及生活中淡淡的幽怨躍然紙上。其實正是這些飽含人間煙火味的生活細節才彰顯出女人有別于男人的柔軟感情和心理需求。在這方面，小偶表達方式可謂以小見大、以微知著。

小偶散文以“真”取勝，真人真事真性情，算得上本色出鏡。對于散文之“真”,文學界一直有不同看法，有人以為散文當以“美”為主，可虛可實。也有人認為散文就當寫實，“真”是散文的靈魂，否則與小說無異?？僧斝∨及褍刃恼鎸嵑翢o保留地捧給讀者時，又難免遭遇尷尬。因為對于文章之“寫實”,有時連親人也不能理解。也有朋友善意地提醒小偶：“偶姐姐呀，你咋啥都敢寫？”.這讓小偶十分迷茫：難道只有突出高大上才算好文章？我本小人物，沒那么高尚，也不愿違心地堆砌一些虛假的文字來迎合大眾口味，我覺得散文首先要“真”,而且先要感動自己或者自己覺得有趣有味才好拿來示人。

記得小偶的《小城女人》剛收入《中短篇小說選刊》時，她曾向編輯提出異議：文章寫我自己的能算上小說？編輯笑了：以自己為原型的小說更能打動人！我也曾就此問題試探過小偶：如果說《小城女人》中的主人公以自己為原型的話，那《小城男人》里會不會也有胖哥影子？小偶坦言：何止胖哥，還得感謝XX也為我提供了創作的源頭活水呢！

其實散文之“真”也在性情之“真”.有作家言：散文就是讀者與作家的心靈對話，散文就是作家有意無意間透露的心靈囈語。從這一點來講，小偶她的確做到了。

第二篇：小城故事讀后感

小城故事

——讀《邊城》有感

《邊城》出自《管子·度地》：“當冬三月，天地閉藏，暑雨止，大寒起，萬物實然，利以填塞空郄，繕邊城，涂郭術。” 漢桓寬《鹽鐵論·擊之》：“往者縣官未事 胡 越 之時，邊城四面受敵，北邊尤被其苦。” 唐 杜甫《送高三十五書記十五韻》：“邊城有馀力，早寄從軍詩。”

《邊城》，是沈從文先生最負盛名的代表作，被譽為“文學史上最純凈的一個小說文本”，“小說中飄逸不群的仙女”。

小溪，白塔，墨竹，渡口，獨戶的人家??故事在靜美中拉開序幕。

開篇描寫小山城“茶峒”的地理位置，勾畫出一幅美輪美奐的山水畫。美麗安靜試著小山城的代名詞，淳樸熱情老實又是屬于山民的特性。老船夫兢兢業業，翠翠、小黃狗和渡船是老船夫唯一的親人和朋友。老船夫不論晴雨，必守在船頭，老老實實的為公家干活，絕不收人錢財。翠翠老船夫心愛的孫女，為人天真活潑，乖巧伶俐。他們原本平靜的生活在一次端午中，翠翠結識了順順家的二老儺送，又在兩年后的端午節認識了天保。兩兄弟同時喜歡上了這個天真可愛的小女孩，但是一人怎么可以嫁兩個人呢？后因哥哥天保自知自己比不上弟弟的歌聲，退出了。本以為幸福唾手可及，誰知老天爺愛開玩笑。老大天保出了船難，老二以為是自己的錯，也離開了。順順覺得翠翠害死老大，又害得老二離家，不肯再讓翠翠嫁入家中。老船夫在雷雨交加的夜里擔心翠翠今后婚事和生活中，安詳的離去了。翠翠就在渡口等著儺送。

魂牽夢縈的人兒哪！也許永遠回不來了!也許明天就回來。

全文的結果，讓人可以隨意聯想，自由猜想。也許儺送回來了，和翠翠開心的一起守在渡口上。也許儺送再也沒有回來，翠翠只能傻傻守在渡口，直到死亡。不管什么結果，都會讓我們意猶未盡，還不如隨意聯想，由自己給個結局。

“純粹的美”和“清潔的靈魂”，帶給我們恒定而久遠的感動?！哆叧恰肥谷讼嘈偶兦榈牧α?。

一字一句包涵作者對湘西的喜愛，對故鄉淳樸的世道民風的贊美，一字一句仔細斟酌，仔細推敲，為我們展現出一幅幅或濃或淡的水墨畫。

小城故事多。

第三篇：白衣女人讀后感

Plot, the Important Elements of a Story

As far as I am concerned, the book The Woman in White is worthy of reading twice.It’s an interesting story.And what touched me most is the attractive plot.After finishing this book, I realize that the plot is one of the essential elements for a book to be a best seller.While I was reading The Women in White, I always guessed what would happen next, and I always failed to make the right conjecture.But it didn’t make me depressed.Instead of being dismayed, I became more and more interested in the book.In my opinion, a fascinating book has to keep its mystery from the first beginning to the end.And the readers never know what will happen next so that they will keep on their readings.For the book The Woman in White, when I first saw Percival Glyde, the baronet, Laura’s fiancé, I regarded him as a respective, smart, humorous gentleman.I fell in love with the characters at the first sight.I looked forward to his wedding with Laura, and I thought they will have a happy ending.But in the next page of the book, it showed that Mr.Percival was a bad guy.There were much evidence which are relevant to his crime so that I gradually accept the idea that Mr.Percival was involved in some guilty job, but again, it seemed that he was innocent and he was a good man.In order to find out the real character of Percival Glyde, I kept on reading and reading, and I

couldn’t move my eyes from the book until I reach the exactly result.Take Ann Cathreric, the woman in white, as another example.Ann was in white from the head to feet when she first appeared in the book, and she always dressed herself like that.Because of the book’s title—The Woman in White—I thought that, with no doubt, Ann was the heroine of the book.So I put much attention to her description.But as I moved my eyes from sentence to sentence, I gradually found that Ann isn’t the heroine.Then I was curious about the real heroine, and I looked forward to her debut.By the way, Ann took an important role in the story, anyway.And at the first sight of Ann’s description, I thought she was a pitiful woman who had suffered a lot of misery.I began to guess what had happened to the poor woman and I was in expectation of the author’s explanation of Ann’s bitter fate.But then I knew that Ann escaped form an asylum, and there’s no doubt that she has some medical problem.More or less, I lost my interest in Ann.when I read further, I found that she was lock in the asylum by baronet Percival because Ann knew his crime, andhe was afraid that she would let his secrete out of the back.Again, I am curious about Ann’s experiences, and wanted to figure out what happened to her.In the end, it turned out that Ann isn’t a lunatic.But finally, the poor woman died.In the process of reading, I am usually in confusion and in order to find out the truth, I have to continue my reading.So I think a successful book

should be a mysterious book, and you can’t know the result until you put your eyes onto the last sentence.Think about that, there are two books—book A and book B.For book A, you can guess the ending of the story when you finish the first several chapters.While for book B, you can’t know the exactly ending until you finish the whole book.Then which book would you like? Book B is the better choice, definitely.班級：09級英語師范5班姓名：鐘艷莉

第四篇：大城床和小城房讀后感

關于《奇葩說》大城床還是小城房一集的讀后感 首先是辯題的理解

從支持大城床的角度，首先就要考慮，與小城市相比，大城市的優勢是什么。

第一，大城市的生活更加精彩，可以與來自五湖四海的人交朋友，認識不同的人，見識不同的事，了解更多的資訊，即使自己的容身之處只有一張床，自己依然可以活得很精彩很充實。

第二，為什么現在有那么多那么多人選擇了北漂，他們不知道在小城市里生活的更幸福嗎？不，不是，因為他們知道大城市充滿了更多的機遇，盡管會遇到更多的挑戰，忍受更多的苦，但是在大城市里，你能成功的幾率遠比比小城市更加高。

第三，記得曾經有個阿姨這樣和我說，年輕，沒有什么不可以，也許在大城市里拼搏不一定成功，但是相對于在小城市一眼可以望到頭的生活，當我們有一天老去，我們可以很自豪的說，我曾經努力過！

從支持小城房的角度，第一，我們以為離開小城市，去到大城市，失去了很多，也會得到更多，其實不是，失去的依然是失去了，但是得到的，依然不一定能得到。

第二，在小城市里，我們也依然可以奮斗，并不是說，在小城市里，就一定是混吃等死，我們也可以努力拼搏，努力過上更好的生活。

第三，在小城市里有一套房，而在大城市只有一張床，所以相對于大城市，小城市的機會相對于你來說更容易抓住。

其次是辯論技巧的理解

第一，發現選手在辯論的時候，基本上都會帶有肢體動作，而且加上肢體動作，會增加說服力度。

第二，辯論的時候，采取1.先駁回對方辯手上輪的說法2.開始講述自己的觀點3.總結我方辯手前幾輪的觀點并加以補充。這種辯論結構更容易使大家信服

第三，說話時可以在關鍵部分加強語氣，有停頓，會引起大家的注意。

第四，在辯論開始之前要揣測對方會用到什么例子，可以更加好的應對。以子之矛攻子之盾。

第五，在討論他人漏洞的時候可以用詼諧的語氣先說，但是在提出自己的觀點的時候，一定要嚴肅

第六，在發言的時候，說到重點部分的時候語速不能快。

第七，發表自己論點的時候用問句有時帶來的效果比陳述句要好。

第八，用自身經歷來作為論點有好處，自己親身經歷更具說服力，而且對方不可以事先預料。

unified.The Woman in White in a detective novel written by Wilkie Collins.It's said that this novel is one of his best novels.And the words he wanted on his gravestone is ‘author of The Woman in White and other works'.So we can see how much the author liked this work.Walter Hartright was the art teacher of Laura and Marian,who had the same mother but different fathers.For all their special relationship,Marian and Laura had a very close affection towards each other and Marian was like an angle ,who was always with Laura however difficult the situation was.Walter fell in love with Laura almost at the first sight of her,so did Laura.But the problem was that Laura had promised her father that she would marry Sir Percival before her father died,who was twenty years older than her and had a high position in the society and high reputation.Before the meeting with Percival,Laura received a warning that told her that the man she would marry actually was a very aweful person.According to the description of the gardener who sent the warning to Laura,Walter immediately realized that it is the same person he met the day before he came to Limmeridge House where the two sisters lived.She was the woman in white.She told Walter that she was the friend of Mrs Farlie,the mother of the two sisters,and loved she very much the night of their meeting.Walter didn't know that the lady that the woman in white referred to is the mother of his students.He didn't know either that from that moment his future and that of Laura's had been tied together.Though both Laura and Walter had a deep emotion towards each other,Laura didn't allow herselt to break the promise she had made to her father.Marian told everthing to Walter about her sister's promise and marriage and suggested that he leave before both of them had trapped too much.Walter left with great sorrow.And Laura married Sir Percival as arranged.But there was one thing that confused Laura's lawyer was that Percival insisted that the twenty thousand dollars which Laura's father had left Laura should go to him if Laura died before him.While Laura insisted that the money should be left to her sister.Then the loyal lawyer had to turn to Laura's uncle,who was now the master of the Limmerig House,for help.Her uncle was a very self-centered person,who only kept his health in mind and cared nothing else.So the lawyer had to agree the request of Sir Percival.Laura was very reluctant to be married with Sir Percival and her misery began since then.As the warning said,her husband treated her badly.To her relief,Marian lived with her and shared the burden and misery that she suffered from her devil husband.One day accidentally Laura met a woman who looked like her very much and was almost another Laura after an illness.Because she seemed paler and weaker than Laura.Actually she was that woman in white,Anne,the daughter of Mrs Catherick.Both the mother and the daughter knew the secret of Sir Percival,once the secret gave out ,it would destroy him completely.That's why Sir Percival was afraid of Anne very much and tried his best to make others believe that Anne had some mental problems and sent her to an asylum.So nobody would believe the words of a mad woman.It's lucky that Anne had escaped.She intended to tell Laura the secret,but before she could do that she was found by Percival's friend,Count Fosco.So she had to postpone the meeting with Laura and save herself.Sir Percival changed into another person after his marriage.He kept forcing Laura to sign on a document so that the money would be transferred into his name.Because Marian had heard his plot by accident and she warned Laura about her husband's plot,so Laura refused which made him very angry.While the bigger plot was waiting for them.After the night that Marian heard the conversation of Sir Percival and Count Fosco in the rain,she was badly ill and stayed in bed for days.From the conversation she knew the real purpose that Sir Percival married Laura was that Laura was the holder of twenty thousand dollars.He wanted to use this amount of money to pay his debt.Laura was ill too after some days of taking care of Marian.She fainted.After she woke up,she could't find her sister.And she was told that Marian had been taken by Fosco to London for improvement of her health.At first,Laura couldn't believe it because she was sure her beloved sister wouldn't leave her alone to deal with all the troubles.While indeed she couldn't find her sister so she left for London.The poor girl didn't know all of this was a swindle.After she arrived at London ,after a cup of tea that Fosco gave her ,she not only saw her sister,but knew nothing about it until she found herself in the asylum.The truth was that Marian wasn't sent to London,she was just transfered to another place in the house.Afer she recovered,the first news she heard was Laura's death from heart disease.She was very upset.Besides she was very regret of having asked Walter to leave her sister before they both trapped too much,she felt guilty of her sister's unhappiness.She returned to the Limmerige House.There her uncle showed her a letter from Fosco informing him to be careful.Fosco said that they had found Anne and sent her back to asylum again.She got worse by keeping claiming herself as Laura.Fosco just reminded her uncle not to believe any information that Laura was still alive.Marian felt very strange at such a letter.She wanted to what happened on earth.The result surprised Marian very much because the so-called Anne was actually her sister,Laura.The reason why Fosco succeeded in deceiving everybody was the similarity between Laura and Anne.And in the last few part of the novel we know that they were actually sisters.They had the same father.Marian tried her best to help Laura out of the asylum.While Laura had changed to a different person.Before marriage,she always smiled and was lovey and happy.But now you could see no change of expressions from her face.The devil husband almost destroyed her.Because of the letter that Fosco sent to Mr Farlie,their uncle refused to accept her as his neice.The servants couldn't recognise Laura either due to her so great changes.So they had to leave the place where they had spent their happiest life.Before leaving,Laura insisted to see their mother's grave.There they met Walter who just came back from the expedition to central America.Later on they figured out what happened on earth.Fosco and Percival caught Anne and because of her bad health,Anne died immediately after she was caught.The took her body as Laura's and make everybody believe that Laura had died.By doing this,Percival could get the property from Laura to pay his debts.All the plot ,troubles and tragedy were due to money.What a pity!

The secret that may destroy Percival was that he committed the forgery by adding the record of his parents' marriage himself.At that time ,forgery was a very serious

crime.Once discovered,he would be punished severely.After he knew that Walter had known his secret,he hurried to the church in hope of destroying the proof.In a hurry,he upset the lantern and locked himself in the fire and never came out again.What moved me very much was that at that time Walter tried to save him and forgot that he was his enemy.What was in his mind was only that he was a human being who was caught in fire and needed help

.Maybe that's why people can master the world ,not any other animals.Human beings have some unique characters which may not be found even by themselves.Once disaster comes,they will explode and produce unbelievable power.After all, the story had a happy ending.Laura and Walter got married and had a son,who became the master of Limmerig House after Mr Farlie's death.Kindness is the most treasurable character in the world,I think.Never never give up the chance of sticking to your kindness.
