When he was a child, he always went to the woods and field with his old brother. So he loves the nature very

2、much. In the middle of 19th century, American economies developed so rapidly that most people pursuit the material life and ignore the spiritual life. But Thoreau wants to live a simple life. Also for the Transcendentalist Movement was centered in Concord and Emerson had a great influence on him.All

3、 these made Thoreau go to build a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond and live alone to close to the nature in 1845. Later, he wrote the famous book, Walden, which mainly talks about his life and thoughts during he lived alone in the woods near Walden Pond.When Walden was published in 1854, it was not

4、 well accepted by people. Instead it was regarded as.He also writes that though he lives alone in the woods, he is close to nature and makes himself as a part of nature. He lives alone, but sometimes he also talks with his visitors who are honest, sincere, thinkable and loving their life.Thoreau als

5、o mentions that the noise in the town and the whistle of train disturb the quite life of the town. However, in the woods life is quite. Whenhe lives in the woods, he can listen to animals' sounds such as bird's singing, owl 's hooting, cockerel 's crowing etc. He lives with animals f

6、riendly. He also describes the Walden Pond. The water, blue and green, clear and pure, freezes in winter and melts in spring.When I was reading Walden, I felt that I was listening to a wise man's talking. The words and phrases about the nature especially the Walden Pond are beautiful and fascina

7、ting. The sentences are full of wisdom and philosophy.Reading this book reminds meof those people who work hard to earn money, waste lots of money to buy luxury and expensive things, waste time to entertain themselves. In mypoint of view, they may easily lose themselves, and though their bodies are

8、full, their minds are hungry. The real life is to make every complicate thing to be simple and enrich our heart and soul. In a word, just simplicity 、 simplicity and simplicity!One of Thoreau's thoughts about solitude attracts me deeply for I ' m the person who likes to be alone. There are s

9、ome reasons for why I like to be alone: Firstly I think that living with others is easy going to have a conflict whatever you are best friends. Secondly just as Thoreau sayinga man thinking orworking always alone and let him be where he will' .I always spent most of time to study, and I like to

10、make myself busy all the time, so I have little time to stay with others. In addition to, whatI'm thinking and interested in is quite different from others. I like studying at library and reading books but don't like pursuit fashionable and new trend things for it makes mefeel tired and bore

11、d. So I always live alone and people who around me think I must be lonely. Actually it's not true. They don't understand me at all. When I'm studying, learning or reading, I don't think other things, just immersing in the oceanof knowledge .My heart is quite calm. And if learn new kn

12、owledge I got a feeling of happiness, satisfaction and fulfillment. So I was so surprised that what Thoreau said was exactly same to what I thought. I was so glad to find a person who has the same idea with me. When Thoreau lived alone in the woods, people did not understand him, even Emerson though

13、t what he did was wrong. And now, people who around me think my life is not good. But I think Thoreau' s life was successful,meaningful and happy, so do I. Because I think that the success and happiness of life all comefrom exactly value. Everyone deeply desires of themselves life. When you know

14、 what the value of yourself is, meanwhile you can enjoy your life according to the value every time. You will find that everyday you have full of energy and enthusiasm to do anything, hear the sure sound from your heart, and often feel intense achievement, the most important is that your heart is pe

15、ace and calm.Last but not least, I envy Thoreau so much for helives in such a beautiful and comfortable nature environment. He can breathe the fresh air, live withwild animal friendly; appreciate the scenery of Walden Pond etc. While in modern society, people pursuit their own interests to hunt and

16、kill animals, cut down trees and pollute the rivers and so on. As a result, the number of wildlife is decreasing, the area of lake is shrinking, and the water is not pure any more. The environment problems such as globe warming, climate change and air and water pollution have been becoming increasin

17、gly serious. Reading this book makes me be aware of protecting the environment to realize the harmony between human and nature.The concept of responsibility is a necessary fiction. Although socitiesmust hold their individuals accountable for their own actions, people's behavior is largely determ

18、ined by forces not of their own making.On one hand, the highest social animal as human being is, any individual has his specific role in a certain society. And this specific role gives one social identity and individual responsibility through education in schools and influence of ethical and moral s

19、tandards. Though some times one would feel that thecertain responsibility is obligation from the society and organizations rather than his 'individual responsibility' at first, in most cases, the accountabilitywould presumably become one's owneventually followed by the final identificati

20、on of his specific social identity, and then direct one's behaviors without the force from the exterior world. For example, a soldier would think it is his duty to obey the rules without any hesitation; a surgeon would consider healing the patients as hisaccountability; and a historian would fee

21、l it is his responsibility to discover what is behind the historical descriptions. In fact, different careers and roles form diverse individual responsibilities, which result in individuals' voluntary behaviors.On the other hand, there are not only specific individual responsibilities in diverse

22、 areas but also some fundamental values and accountabilities, which we all human beings cherish. From the momentone can speak or even is born, the society begins to instill the moral and ethical standards, which is so called humanity in every one's mind. The older one is, the deeper influence th

23、e humanity would be. Whenone is just a little child, he would go directly to what he like and claim it. Then when he is old enough, he would realize that it is incorrect and ashamed. And because of the awareness of what is right and wrong, one would probably never do any misdeed again. Actually, hum

24、anity is just the common individual responsibility shared by all of us.However, every one lives in a certain society thereby one's behavior is more or less influenced by forces not of their own making. And to operate normally, every society has its laws, though many times have differences among

25、them. It is true that humanity plays an essential role in ruling individuals' behaviors; yet laws are necessary. Under the control of laws, people who have little individual responsibility would probably not dare to do any crime in fear of law punishment. Besides laws, for example in school, rul

26、es are also an important factor as well as individual responsibility. Nowadays, in most universities, a student who does not pass some certain courses in his four years college life would not get his diploma of bachelor's degree. So even if a student does not likehis discipline, or dose not care

27、 about his GPA, the pressure of graduating forces him not to playing computer or basketball all the time.In addition, individual responsibility and forces from outside world have overlapped parts some times. For instance, studying diligently is some hard- working students' individual responsibil

28、ity as well as the pressure from schools and society.Generally speaking, it is hasty and incorrect to conclude that the concept of 'individual responsibility' is a necessary fiction. Onthe contrary, individual responsibility plays an important role which cannot be replaced. However, laws and

29、 the exterior force also have their significance as well. Thus we can not put either of them aside and pay more attention to anotherAlthough I may not understand Thoreau's thoughts completely, I 'mreally benefited from reading the book, Walden.瓦爾登湖英文讀后感 【 2】 read through someof the more than

In his eyes, the nature was an intimate friend of him and all things in the nature were lively and vivacious. And all kinds of animals in the wood, such as field mouses, robins and wild rabbits

43、 were amicably treated and regarded as his adorable companions. He even thought that plants were also had the right to live equal with humanbeings. Just because of this, he even blamed himself for hitting chestnut trees with stones. From many words or sentences, we can easily feel Thoreau's deep

44、 love and care towards nature.Besides, Thoreau was a pioneering nature lover, who called on people to stop destorying nature but protect it by setting himself an example to others. The consciousness of the environmental protection is becoming more and more important in our modern society, while the

45、whole world is trapped in some serious ecological crisises resulting from hunting and killing animals, cutting down trees and polluting the rivers for pursuit of human beings' own interests. Weall have the common sense that the number of wildlife is decreasing, the area of lake is shrinking, and

46、 the water is not clear any more. What's worse, environment problems such as globe warming, climate change and air and water pollution are deteriorating during the commercial process . So it's high time that we should realize we never be the dominator of the whole worldconquringnature, butsh

He told us using his own experience that by living a simple life close to nature, we human beings will find out the true value of life and sig

49、nificance of existence.After reading the book, what impressed me most is the description of the fascinating scenery around the Walden pound, especially these sentences: "A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder m

50、easures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows". To Thoreau, the Walden lake is like a charming and melting girl , who has slender eyelashes and likes to dress h

51、erself in different beautiful clothes with the changes of different seasons.Every morning after getting up, Thoreau would have a bath in the Walden lake to start a new day. After that, he used to wander around the pond and refresh himself with the fresh air. In summer days , he cultivated a piece of

52、 land and growed beans, blackberries, johnsworts and the like. The depiction of his leisure rurality spontaneously reminds meof Tao Yuanming, the famous Chinese poet, who lived in the Jin Dynasty and madehis life meaningful by returning to the nature and perfecting himself. If Thoreau and Tao Yuanmi

53、ng lived in the sameperiod and place, they would probably become best friends.From the book, we know that during the years when Thoreau lived near the Walden, he did not completely isolate himself from the outside world. Sometimes he went to the town and did odd jobs and would receive visitors and friends in his cabin at times. As I mention before, the intention for his living in the woods was that he wanted to teach people how to live a simple life, achieve enjoyment from the nature, free oneself from the strained daily life and what is more im
