recently read the simplified version of The Black Tulip published by Shanghai Translation Press This novel was written by the distinguished French writer Alexandre Dumas Pere the pioneer of the Romanticism Literature Movement in France He was so popular that his works had been translated into several languages and welcomed by readers all over the world This novel took 17th century Dutch bourgeois revolutionary period of intense political struggle and the turbulent life as its background This gist of the story is as follows The leading role Cornelius is a young doctor who completely doesn t inquire about politics He loves growing tulips and is trying to cultivate a black tulip without any other color on it at all In order to obtain the considerable bonus offered by the government to the first man who cultivates the very kind of black tulip Boxtel Cornelius neighbor tries to destroy and steal the bulbs of Cornelius even kill him Fortunately Cornelius in the prison gets acquainted with the prison keeper s daughter Rosa and they fall in love Under Rosa s help Cornelius realized his dream and achieves happiness at last It s firmly believed by some people that when you become rich and successful happiness will naturally follow After reading this novel I believe that nothing is further from the truth To my mind the secret to happiness lies in your successful work in your contribution towards others happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest efforts Firstly in order to obtain happiness you should achieve your successful work in order to achieve your successful work you should go through thick and thin As the writer said those who have suffered much have a right to be happy Take the two leading characters for example They eventually reach happiness after suffering a lot both psychologically and physiologically Secondly your happiness should live in your contribution towards others happiness but not on the contrary in destroying others happiness If you get your happiness by taking advantage of others or by hurting others you won t be happy with it for long at least you won t enjoy the real happiness People will think you re a mean person Boxtel was a typical case He would never gain happiness Thirdly wealth obtained through dishonest means doesn t bring happiness Happiness is not an end it is a process It s a continuous process of honest and productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful and worthy person Sample 3 A Book Report of Thirty Nine Steps By Ding Xiaobiao Class

Rugby was one of the most influential schools at that time But the public schools were under bad government In the school there was a good deal of bullying physically punishing students and also quarrels between teachers The teacher student relationship was intensive People thought masters and boys were natural enemies But after some significant reforms on the school teaching methods by the master Thomas Arnold the school appeared a new look It was under such surroundings that leading role Tom was educated and grew up At first Tom feared the master but when he knew how anxiously and carefully the master had watched over these students lives he looked upon him with love and respect and thought of him as a very wise and good man As the book said Now Tom s faith was complete and if next term the Doctor had stopped all football ad cricket and fagging Tom would have supported him with all his faith So when Tom learnt the news of the Dr Arnold s death he seemed to have lost the center point of his world We can see how much Tom loved and respected him And this reminds me of the book Harry Potter Harry had the same feeling as Tom when he watched his old master killed by the enemies Harry Potter is one of the books I love most So when I saw some similarities with Harry Potter in this book something drove me to read on And in Tom s school there were some activities also reminding me of the book Harry Potter The book interests me in some things more such as the boys catching birds fishing This shows me the beautiful life they lived and this is what I look forward to
