指环王英文读后感
The lord of rings was written by John Tolkien in 1955. He made up a mystical world called Middle Earth. And the start of the story, is not a person, but an object, a ring. The ring allows one to control a host of other rings handed down to the different peoples of Middle Earth: three rings belong to the immortal elves; seven to the dwarfs; and nine rings to mortal humans. The ring that rules all the others, forged using the fires of Mount Doom by the evil Wizard Sauron, gives its holder so much power that it corrupts all those who seek to wear it, even the purest. Of course, there are some peoples that are more pure than others. Humans generally seem incapable of wearing it without being corrupted by its influence. But there exists a diminutive people, the Hobbits, who do seem at least capable of carrying it without being polluted too much. So the fate had come to a Hobbit---- Frodo, who had to carry this Ring deep into the shadows of Mordor and unmake it in the place precisely it was made. If this Ring exists, the world may fall in the Power of the Dark Lord. So Frodo, with his gardener Sam, started an amazing journey towards the hope.
But the Hobbits is a kind of people who loves peace and quiet. They don’t care much about affairs in the world, nor do they like to take part in adventures. But Frodo and Sam have no chance to choose their destiny. The future of the Middle Earth depends on this little creature. In the story of this trilogy Frodo is the most impressive character not because of his heroic movement, but his true personality. As a reflection of our human being, he has been afraid, he has been tempered by the power of the ring, and he has doubt about the possibility of the success. Just because he’s so similar to us, the journey becomes more dangerous and difficult, which makes it easier for this character to move us.
I can still remember the narration of the beginning of the story. In a small Hobbits town called Shire, which is just like the unforgettable dream land, a Hobbit boy, Frodo, shiny like the bright sun shine, reading beneath the tree. His clear blue eyes represent the purest soul in the world, which lets me doubt about the truth that there’s no angle in the real world. He’s just an insignificant nobody, he never thinks about the ambitious dream of fighting for the justice and freedom. But he loved his uncle, his friends and his hometown Shire. He packed up and went on the journey for adventure just because he wanted to save Shire, the place he never wants to leave. The first time the story moves me is when the two hobbits stepped out of the wheat field of Shire. Sam stopped and said:” one step further makes the furthest trip away from home”。 Until that time had I realized what a great sacrifice they made.
When the chance came to him that he can leave the ring with the king of the Elves, he made his decision. When he saw the outstanding representatives of different peoples quarreled with each other about how to deal with the ring, he stepped out and said:” I will take it! I will take it! I will take the ring to Mordor!” I was shocked and surprised by the great power that burst out from this little creature.
The other theme of this book is the friendship that runs through the story. In the novel, after the wizard Gandalf and human Boromir died in succession on the way to the Mount Doom, Frodo crumbled down. He began to hate the ring, and cursed it that why it had chosen him to be the carrier. He picked himself up quickly and decided not to bring anyone else in this dangerous journey, he wanted to shoulder this great responsibility by himself. So he got the only little boat and set out. At that time, his friend Sam found him and jumped into the river though he couldn’t swim. Sam embraced Frodo closely and said “I made a promise：Don’t you leave him. And I don’t
