I have wanted to recommend books worth reading several times before.
But every time I fail because of my procrastination, I seem to have found a solution to my procrastination recently.
That’s why I push the book list to share with everyone in time (in the future, I will also put on the agenda how to solve procrastination and how to get up early)
This time, I want to share There are three books in Book 1***: "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise", "When Will You Let Birds Fly to Your Mountain"
Each book Books are very meaningful and worthy of our thinking and reading! You will find that life seems to be a little more settled.
Have you ever been discriminated against by others?
"To Kill a Mockingbird" tells a story about prejudice.
Tom, a black disabled man, was sued for beating a woman in a white man's home. The lawyer defended the black man.
What followed was a barrage of rumors, ridicule and insults.
Although the lawyer knew from the beginning that he would lose the case.
The lawyer knew from the beginning that he would lose the case because black people suffered from severe racial discrimination at the time.
But the lawyer said to his children:
"Courage is when you know you will lose before you start, but you do it anyway. You rarely win, but Sometimes you win."
He tried to gather evidence to prove the black man's innocence, but in the end, he lost.
In the end, the black man escaped from prison in anger and was shot.
This story makes me very sad and sad.
Are the black people in the book a microcosm of some people in our real society?
They were prejudiced and discriminated against from the beginning.
Just like a thief, he wanted to quit, but found that the people around him didn't believe him at all. He was the first person who thought of him when something was lost.
Unable to bear these prejudices and discrimination, the thief who wanted to change his ways started stealing again.
The author said:
"Never understand a person from other people's mouths, and don't believe in rumors. Only by contacting him personally can you see the truth."
We may have all worn colored glasses and shot prejudiced bullets at others without knowing it.
I remember when I was in primary school, there was a child in my class who was often bullied.
None of us went to help him, we just stood by and watched. No one stood up to stop his violent behavior.
Because he was often bullied and everyone was prejudiced against him, no one played with him and he was always alone.
In the end, the little boy who was often bullied dropped out of school.
I wonder if we could all come together and stand up for him and speak out against violence.
Maybe we can bring him warmth, maybe we can change his destiny, and he can go to junior high school, high school, and finally college.
No one tried to understand him, he was just a little boy less than ten years old.
We always meet a person with our own definition, "I think...". "I think..."
"You can't really know someone unless you step into their shoes and walk with them for a while."
So now, when others are talking about a person, I don't interject too much.
Because the only way to know whether a person is good or bad is to contact him personally.
This is why I recommend this book.
If "To Kill a Mockingbird" taught me how to let go of my prejudices, then "Fan Xi's First Love Paradise" made me start to think about human nature.
One day in the second semester of my freshman year, I accidentally discovered this book on a friend's desk.
After reading a few pages, I was deeply attracted, but also felt depressed and painful.
I often remind myself that this is a book that should be placed next to your pillow.
The author of this book uses personal experience to show us the good and evil behind human nature.
The protagonist of the story is based on the author herself, and this book is based on her personal experience.
On the surface, the teacher seems amiable, but in fact he is an out-and-out "big-tailed wolf".
In the name of "tutor", the teacher took the girl to his apartment and sexually assaulted her.
After the incident, the girl was at a loss.
She also tried to tell her mother: "Mom, I heard that there is a girl in our school who is with a teacher.
Her mother replied: "That girl is so shameless."< /p>
Her mother's words also made her give up the idea of ??talking to her mother.
She chose to endure it. She deceived herself and fell in love with the teacher until something abnormal happened in her nature and she chose. He committed suicide and left this world.
The book writes: "Patience is not a virtue. Treating patience as a virtue is the way this hypocritical world maintains its twisted order." > In the face of crime, many victims, like the author, choose to hold their breath and endure in silence
Because once the incident is exposed, they and the people around them will be attacked by public opinion
< p> But if everyone chooses to swallow their anger, it will only make the evil people more and more rampant and unscrupulous.There is another sentence in the book that impressed me deeply:
"He. Feeling that society's taboos on sex are so convenient,
Forcing a girl,
The whole society will feel that it is her fault,
The guilt will drive her back Come to yourself."
I saw a Weibo post not long ago:
"After a girl was raped by a boy, she did not dare to tell her family because she had been a good student since she was a child and she was very strong. , she felt that she could not bear such a thing happening to herself.
She felt that she was unclean, so she chose to endure it silently.
She, like the heroine in this book, deceived herself as much as possible into falling in love with him.
Later, the girl became pregnant, and had no choice but to go to the hospital to have an abortion. When the other party’s parents found out, they said that the girl had seduced him, and even scolded the girl for being shameless. "
I sincerely hope that everyone can read this book. Sex education should be popularized as soon as possible.
Don't wait until you are absent from class and think that there is no class.
If you unfortunately meet a girl who has such an experience, don't deny yourself easily
Because a person's value is not defined by others
Nor is it accepted by anyone. , let alone anyone’s accessory.
You are yourself.
This book is quite popular this year, and I think many people have read it.
About education and family of origin
After reading this book, I learned about the author’s background!
It’s hard to imagine that in our life. In modern civilized life, things like this are still happening.
In the United States in the 1980s, it was difficult to imagine anyone being isolated from civilization.
The heroine of the story is the author. I was born in a big mountain in the United States in the 1980s, which is what we now call the post-80s generation.
She has 7 children in her family. Her father is a paranoid and prepares for the end of the world every day. She never went to the hospital when she was sick, but used her own home remedies to treat her illness.
Her father did not allow her to go to school and asked her to work at his scrap collection station every day. p> Therefore, the heroine Tara never went to school before she was 17 years old, never saw a doctor, and wore men's clothes to work in her father's scrap yard every day.
Tara occasionally had to endure her brother Xiao. En's cruelty and bullying.
When she grew up, the heroine left the family and entered Cambridge University alone.
But the book did not mention that Tara paid for it. How much effort.
How did a girl who had never been to school before the age of 17 get into Cambridge, leave her family of origin, and fly to a mountain of her own?
I think? , in addition to her innate intelligence, she also put in hard work and perseverance that we ordinary people cannot see.
There is this sentence in the book:
"Education should expand your thinking, deepen your resonance, and broaden your horizons.
Education should not solidify your Prejudice.
If people are educated, they should become less certain, not more certain."
After reading this book, you will see and feel the power of education.
In fact, the shortcut to changing yourself is education.
The heroine was admitted to college, but felt that her life was divided into two.
On the one hand, she cannot give up the past because of her family; on the other hand, she wants to escape from her family and spread her wings.
Perhaps, the original family is the part of our hearts where it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong.
Sometimes it gives us warmth, and sometimes it gives us the greatest harm.
The heroine loves her paranoid father, but still chooses to say goodbye to him.
Sometimes, she will think of the warm side of her brother who was violent to her, but she is more glad that his brother is not with her.
As the heroine said:
" You can love someone but still choose to say goodbye to them
You can miss someone but still be glad that they are not in your life
This is what I want to share now. Book list!
May we all be strong, independent, and brave in our future lives.
That’s it for today. See you next time~
