Vivid Heroine
——On Sister Carrie
Carrie was such an ordinary rural girl at the beginning of the story. Sitting on the seat of a bus, she couldn’t help feeling exciting at the sight of the metropolis’ spectacle. She was impressed deeply by large crowd on the avenue, the spacious square or tall buildings.
Far more different from other heroines, Carrie was not a plain pure angel like Snow-white, nor was she brave enough to be a heroine of revolutionist or even a reformer, nor was she so clever as to be a successful career woman who start from scratch.
What attracted her most, after her entering this huge metropolis was the incredible fineries, fashion shoes, smart handbags displaying in the shop windows, the jewellerys shining brightly behind the glass. She dreamed that one day, she could wear all of these, jogging gracefully into the most luxurious hotel with focused sights of admiration.
And this was not merely a dream. Because she had large eyes which can earn others’ sympathy, even love. She had wonderful figure which can win others’ hearts. However, anything she got, anywhere she reached, had not come from her ambition. Things happened, and then she accepted. That’s what she had just done — just to accept willingly from the bottom of her heart. She was not at all an evil woman who would give anything for the fortune or fame. However, she would give uo something for a better life when her instinct defeated her intellect.
That was Carrie, a girl had her own desire, a human being just like many others in the realistic world.
There’s one sentence written in chapter VIII:” When this jangle of free-will instinct shall have been adjusted, when perfect understanding has given the former the power to replace the latter entirely, man will no longer vary.” However, how many people can go that further.
And I want to quote another sentence to wind up my essay:
“In Carrie — as in how many of our wordings do they not? — instinct and reason, desire and understanding, were at war for the mastery.”

在假期里，《嘉莉妹妹》这本书是名著，在文章中有许多的道理和人生哲理。这本书使我受益匪浅。这本书的作者是美国著名的现实主义作家——西奥多·德莱塞。
这本书主要讲了：嘉莉十八岁那年她就独自一人从自己的家乡离开，去往芝加哥生活。她向往物质生活，所以才离开家乡的。
她的姐姐敏妮住在芝加哥公寓的凡步仑街，嘉莉去姐姐家住。她姐姐家很简陋房间的墙是拼凑的纸糊，颜色很不协调。地板上铺的是草席，只有起居室铺了一块薄薄的破地毯。嘉莉在姐姐家的附近找了自己能干的一份工作，她自己长的很漂亮，推销员杜洛埃很喜欢她，所以嘉莉变成了杜洛埃的情妇。但是后来嘉莉又由于更大的诱惑，跟随自己住的酒店里的经理赫斯渥私奔。
在一次很好的机会中，嘉莉竟然办成了走红的演员，在上流的社会中，完成了她的愿望。让赫斯渥陷入贫困，并又残忍的把他推上了绝路。
读完这本书，我觉得嘉莉只是沉浸在自己追求的生活和想象之中，她从未替别人着想过。她的这种性格是由于贫困所造成的。自己一无所有，却只是期求这幸福。
十八岁的嘉莉离开了自己的父母和家乡，到芝加哥找姐姐，谋求一份适合自己的工作，到芝加哥，工作十分不顺，付完每周的住宿费后，只有五美分的利用空间，而这些并没有挡住她对大城市的红灯酒绿，富人生活的诱惑。
这个故事描述的是十九世纪末的美国成都市，文中的嘉莉就像是现在中国社会中许许多多离开家乡的打工妹，不同的是嘉莉的才华或许真的很高，她的运气也十分的好，她最后的结局也如电影那样美好，但是平心而论，成功的机会太少，真的几乎不可能出现，就像第一章中的一句话，一个好孩子十八岁离家出门，结局只有两种之一，要么遇到好人搭救而越变越好，要么很快接受了大都市道德标准而越变越坏。我认为是她并没有错，表面上她可以选择。文中的一句话让我记忆深刻，有朝一日，某个女人应该就是这个专题撰写哲学论文。不管她多么年轻。衣着打扮一事她总是完全懂得，品评男人服饰时候，有一条几乎看不见的界限她能在男人中间区分出来，哪些值得她看上一眼，而哪些根本不屑一顾。一个男人的一旦滑到了这条几乎看不见的界限以下，那就休想得到妇人的青睐。男人的服饰还有另一条界限，可使女人琢磨她自己的衣着打扮。
这句话中字里行间充满了物质，我想社会是物质的，只有人在社会物质上面，才会做社会中美好的公益。《嘉莉妹妹》我并没有读完，也希望在读完时会有新体会。

“In Carrie — as in how many of our wordings do they not? — instinct and reason desire and understanding were at war for the mastery。”
《嘉莉妹妹》中的主人公便是嘉莉。她出生在一个普通的家庭，有一个疼爱自己的姐姐，也有一个一毛不拔的姐夫。
在小嘉莉刚满16岁时，她便做出决定，要出去闯荡闯荡，于是她独自一人，踏上了火车之旅，来到了姐姐家。在去姐姐家的路上，她碰到了一个奇怪的人——杜埃。杜埃是一家公司的推销员。他告诉嘉莉，如果你在这儿感到陌生的话，我可以帮你。后来杜埃看着嘉莉安全的到家后，才转身离开。然而就是因为杜埃对嘉莉的这一份情谊，却让嘉莉一举成了大明星。
嘉莉是一个酷爱话剧的女孩儿，所以杜埃经常带着她去大大小小的剧院去欣赏话剧。而杜埃也渐渐喜欢上了这个沉迷于戏剧的女孩儿，于是他决定，一定要让嘉莉一举成名！
嘉莉的星路旅程，也就从此拉开了帷幕。她从扮演一个从不被人注意的配角儿到扮演一个赫赫有名的大明星，她付出了常人无法想象，无法接受的苦难。大街小巷都贴着她的海报，每个剧院都放着她演过的话剧。而杜埃呢？他为了完成嘉莉的梦想，以涉嫌诈骗而被捕获，五年后，他出狱了，当他看到嘉莉时他惊呆了！嘉莉成名了，而他呢？却是一个丢了金钱、权利、地位、亲情和爱情的穷光蛋！
当我看完整本书时，我感到有一种罪恶感围绕在我的身边，我有过要为梦想执着奋斗的想法吗？就算有，我又有想过要实现它吗？我没有，我突然觉得自己太懦弱了，连最简单的现实都不敢去面对，还能有什么理由去面对呢？我恨我自己，为什么天生就是这样，为什么天生就没有改变自己的权利，我真的受够了！
我要改变，去坚强，去勇敢，去闯练，可我该怎么做呢？我依然还歪着脑袋深思着这个问题。
今天，我读了《嘉莉妹妹》这一本小说。
《嘉莉妹妹》主要讲嘉莉长得美貌过人，还有些锋芒毕露的敏感，但对身边的一切际遇却显得相当被动，她首先以自己的美貌博得了推销员杜洛的爱慕，成为她的情人，不久又由于更大的欲望而跟随酒店经理赫斯渥私奔。在偶然的机会里，嘉莉竟又成了走红的演员，挤进上流社会，并以不自觉的残忍将赫斯渥推上了绝望，她对自己的.欠缺可谓无知只是天真的沉浸在自己追求的生活和幻想中，无法想象别人怎么样去生活。
读完这本小说，我对文中女主人公嘉莉的虚荣心感到了无奈，虚荣心人人都有，因为每个人都有追求美好的幻想，但是很多人却不知道怎样才能去实现自己的梦想，经验只有一句话——磨难是人生必备经历。人只有经过磨难，才能得到收获。就拿我爸爸来说吧。我爸爸是农村里的，他小时候早上3、4点钟起来种地放牛、掏大粪，直到晚上才能点微弱的煤油灯，在细小的灯光下看书、写字，有时家里实在没油了，还得偷偷的跑出家门在路灯底下看书。
这种磨难使爸爸有一种不同平常人的坚强的毅力，最后爸爸凭着自己的坚强意志考上了研究生，这不就是美好的回报吗？现在我们这个社会的人都只盼望着不劳而获，盼望着有一天不费吹灰之力去过富人家的生活，这根本就是不可能实现的。现在，我想真心的对所有人说：“这个世界根本不会存在不劳而获，只会存在靠自己的磨难来获得成果。”
