The film named Iron Man 2 is directed by the famous director Jon Favreau . One of the main characters is Tony Stark; he is an extremely handsome actor I have ever seen. As long as you click the mouse, you can not help appreciating it. I watch iron man 2 online for free just now and want to express my review eagerly.
When you have a look at the Iron Man 2, you will be deeply impressed by the great scene of the superb man (Iron Man) gliding in the sky, it gives you the feeling that you were flying freely like birds .However, what comes next may make you thrill, the Iron Man launches into a vigorous concert, where thousands upon thousands of audiences are crying and shouting excitingly to the hero . Just then a lady-killer guy-Tony Stark- comes out of the iron suit. The screaming of the audiences grows louder and louder including me.
One of the peculiarities is that it combines the breathtaking experiences with education and technology perfectly .From the name of the film, you might think of the cold-blood warriors and cruel fighting, actually you will probably change you prospect once you get to it. It gives a glimpse of the future life, with the high advanced technologies, we create the robots to get us out of the tedious work and have a better life. Unfortunately, the beautiful dream is destroyed by the some wicked persons like Ivan Vanko, who abuse his high intelligence by revenging the Iron Man Tony Stark privately committed to protect people from the other evil robots. Every time Tony Stark fought with other robots, I feel my heart jump to my throat .No matter how hard the condition is, the witty Tony can always make it with a narrow escape.
Personally speaking, the most unforgettable feeling towards the film is Tony’s quick mind and his attitude to life .when he fights with the vicious enemy Ivan, he never, ever gives up any threads of survival, even he is single-handed. Besides, he is observant, versatile and most importantly humorous; it allows him to win the public support even when he is given the subpoenas to the court for his possession of the shield. I am appeared to Tony, and look forward to see the coming series of the Iron Man 2.

• The main actor Kevin Costner who plays Robin Hood is an attractive humorous and brave man.Before he became a beloved hero ,he was just a spoiled bully in many people’s eyes. But after meeting the strong-minded beautiful young woman Marian,he made his mind to raise a rebellion and bring his people free air.
• You know no man can resist an army with his own strength.Here Azeem made his exist valued. Just as every wise King must have a brave and able duke behind him to help him.Azeem is just this kind of role,he is cold-minded,intelligent and courageous heathen with civilization. He followed Robin Hood to realize his own vow to save Robin once in return. He is a hero behind in the scenes and he is really the great one.
• Marian played by Mary Elizabeth is the only beautiful lady appeared in the movie .So as a matter of course,she is the sole choice for the hero Robin if the work wanted a little romance besides the bloody war scenes.I think it is appropriate for the theme,just imagine if there is another attractive woman ,maybe it would be a film of a love story between two women and a hero.It is an offset track.
• The old King Richard just presented his face once at the last minute of the movie.You can say the arrangement is to accent the greatness of the hero robin,but you can also say it is a huminiation for the poor King who is just a foil.Besides,he is too much old to be Marian’s cousin in my oppinion.
• Maybe you will not notice the role of Robin’s brother Will Scarlett,a poor guy who is the son of the stepmother of Robin.He ought to hate Robin because he got most of their father’love.It is unfair in some manner for the boy,but at last he chose to believe in his brother to join the plan to save the trapped people.From this we can see the blood is thicker than water.
• The movie is some kind of a one-man show,the enemy is too lack of intelligence .Sheriff Nottingham is just a brutal fool with a blank brain ,he did everything under his ugly witch’guide who later known as his mother.How can he win over the intelligent group of people? He did not have a clear and evil plan to usurp power,all he can think of is to bribe other tribes to help him. When Robin disturb him and stir up his hornet’s net,he did not dare to revenge by himself,just offer a reward to let others help him.Once his man did something unsatisfied him ,he will kill him without hesitation,like his cousin .Seen from this ,Robin is the last hero which is more than a natural thing.No one can compete with him .
• In other words ,the movie has not enough ups and downs to highlight the true greatness of the hero.Actually,it is a battle between Robin and the old ugly witch who is ruthless and lack of far-sight.It is an equation,and not so fierce to keep the watcher nerve- strecthed.

On the whole ,it is an inspiring movie ,I strongly recommend you to have a look at it if you admire heroes very much and want to get to know more about the history of Old Britain.

Sh*t My Dad Says best-seller on New York Times and The Amazon, which was written by Justin Halpern is really a book that can bring back memories of our own father when you are reading it. If you have not  read this book before,reading a Shit My Dad Says review first could help you understand it better.East or west, home is best. That’s real. When the author Mr Halpern was dumped by his longtime girlfriend, he had no choice but to go his parent’s home to comfort himself. His father is a seventy-year-old man with minced words, just at that time, he began to interest to what his dad says, what’s more ,he published these words on his twitter page. You may think it’s really a normal father-and-son story, but in reality, it hit the first place on the best-seller rank. You may see the film The Pursuit of Happiness, Chirst said to his son, “ don’t let others say that you can’t ,even me” ,but in this novel ,absolutely different language styles, in other words, it’s absolutely love style, I remember some words his father said to Halpern , “The worst thing you can be is a liar. . . . Okay, fine, yes, the worst thing you can be is a Nazi, but then number two is liar. Nazi one, liar two.” The words are humorous, but it is these humorous words that made Halpern began to see the wisdom of his father, to see his father’s love for him. In my opinion, what this book to reader is like a father’s instruction to a son. (Read More…)

Sister Carrie  by Thodore Dreiser has been called “the wheelhouse of American naturalism,” and “chief spokesman for the realistic novel,” and “a profound and prescient critic of debased American values.”Sister Carrie by Thodore Dreiser can be  regard as an American tragedy summary.Three main characters occur in this novel, who respectively own different life and fate. Carrie is an honest , innocent country girl,who is full of illusions to the big city–Chicago. Drouser is just only a warm-hearted salesman, at the same time , a masher. Hurstwood is the manager of a saloon, who is thought to be an attractive and intelligent gentleman from upper class. It seems that Carrie will live a poor life. Drouser may just stay at his opposition, to be a light-hearted salesman, while Hurstwood will still live a honourable life in his circle. However, because of Carrie’s occurrence, these two men’s life will change a lot. What has happened to them? What’s the entanglement among these three people.

Carrie, the county girl, just wants to go to the big city to earn her life. But when she enters that city, she begins to understand it’s not easy to make a change in this city, especially an uncultured girl without money and status. So if she wants to live a better life, she must change this situation. The only capital she owns is her appearance, the first she boards the train. In the following days, she makes full use of it, and lives a completely different life.Carrie  pursues the luxurious life, wearing the fashionable dresses ,shoes and the shining jewelry, with the admiration of all the people around. And with her persevering struggle, Sister Carrie makes it, at last. The dream she longingly expects is realized. Is she happy? We only know that, at the end of it,she is alone.in her rocking-chair, by her window. Is it her dream? “shall you dream such happiness as you may never feel”.

What about the fate of the two men ? Drouser, just like his position, an attractive commodity is sold, maybe we can say, stolen although he feels a little pity. He does not lose much. He is still doing his business, and even better. Hurstwood, just on the contrary, falls from the peak to the bottom. Is it miserable? Once a manager, at last a beggar, dies lonely and medially.

Who is wrong ? Who is right? We can not jump rashly to the conclusion that something must be wrong. Every one in the world is relatively equal. We get something, we will lose something. We will neither always fortunate nor unfortunate. Everybody relys on oneself to make a living. So even if what they have done is not worth learning, we are not endowed to speak ill of them. Carrie fulfills her material dream, alone at last. Drouser once got that beautiful lady, Carrie, but was cheated by his friend, losing the valuable  friendship. Hurstwood eloped with his sweetheart, resulting in the loss of his family, wealth and status. Almost everyone must pay for what he has done. Other’s deeds do not need our judgement criteria. That existed is reasonable.

The novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte told us a story of  love and revenge,at the same time it reflected some   aspects of human nature.Not everyone is  from the same cloth. All of us are in different personalities. Some are generous,some may mean, some may selfish, various. Just because of this, others say we are different. 

 Since I read Wuthering Heightsby Emily Bronte , I have been in such thought— why we should say Catherine is deviant, and so is Heathcliff? For they do not do as others do — girls must learn to be a lady. When they have grown up , they must marry gentlemen. Boys must learn to be gentle. When they have become a man , they must attempt to hold money and power, so that they can marry a lady. If they are not , they will be considered guilty of heterodoxy, not accepted by the natives. The two main characters of this novel—Catherine and Heathcliff are in such conditions.

In the novel  ,Catherine comes from a honored family, who is borne with a silver-spoon in her mouth. However, Heathcliff is only an orphan, bringing back by Old Earnshaw, no money, no status, insulted by all the people, even the servants. These two kids’ personalities are shaped in such different situations. Catherine, a selfish, conceited girl, Heathcliff a self-contemptuous,bearing boy, so contradictory, but they are appeal to each other. Both of them pursue freedom and true love. This is the key point. It seems that we should fulfil this two people for their faith and persistence. In this novel, their love is completely a tragedy, only the two souls wandering in the freezing cold wind and walking under the cold cliff of that deserted land. Whether we should disgust Catherine, for her selfishness and vainness, Thrushcross Grange is swallowed by Heathcliff, Edgar dying sorrowfully, Heathcliff revenging Edgar cruelly. It seems that she is an evil. To pursue her own happiness, she ignores others’feelings and dignity. What she has done has harmed a lot people who love her, all of thesejust because she does not want to lose her true love. She chooses her own way to look for her love.

Meanwhile, another character of  Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte , Heathcliff, if we should hate such a cold and cruel man. In order to revenge, he pretend to love Isabella’ to get Thrushcross Grange，and revenge Hindley to gain Wuthering Heights。He has been notorious in that region. All these are for Catherine, to get her, his sweetheart. To be rich enough so that she will not look down on him. They could be equal.

They do harm to others for their own love, not choosing other alternative but in such way. This is wrong? It needs arguing. Each of us could decide to choose our own ways to harvest love. on the way to pursuit, we just do not think a lot about others. Love blinds most of us to become selfish. Although they are not in a happy ending, do we should say they deserve it? It gives us a lesson. No matter what we have come across, we should not only care about ourselves. Before we make decisions, we must think twice. Harming others will hurt ourselves at last.

Two opposite personalities, sense and sensibility ,which do you prefer? I think it’s really very difficult to make a decision. It is humor. We are born with such characteristics. Emotional person is the sea,which shows her temper emotionally,sometimes calm, sometimes crazy. However, the rational one is the stream, which running through the montains and forests. She seldom presents her emotions publicly. But we could not judge which is better, just according to this. In Sense and Sensibility Book, Marianne is the sea, expressing her feeling bravely. Elinor is the stream, setting her love to Edward aside quitely.

In the novel, Marianne and Elinor, which do you like more? In accordance with people’s tastes, the choice is different. Marianne is a brave girl, who can igonre local people’s rumore to love Willoughby. It is very precious. She breaks up the limitation to brave and sincere lovers in that peiod. Whereas Willoughby is not brave enough to abandon everthing to love. He owns nothing but love. How could he gives his sweetheart happiness , if no wealth to invest? He must cinsider this problem. And it troubles him a lot. He thinks twice then determins to leave Marianne. He has no alternative but to breaks his beloved heart. Can we say Marianne loves the wrong man? We could not sure say “no”. To some degree, his decision can be wise. If one can not give his love’s steady life, who can sure their future life is happy? so we should not completely deny him. Willoughby is emotional, but also rational. Marianne is sensible, so that she could not accept this reality easily.

In Sense and Sensibily Book,her sister, Elinor is a warm—hearted girl, always thinking for others, instead ignoring herself. Thus we can guess how tiresome she is. Her love is not farewell. She and Edward love each other. She just puts it at a corner. Edward mistakes it as friendship, so that their love become more and more vague. Because of a series of coinsidents, they get together. We can sure it is Jane’s arrangements. She encourages us not to renounce true love. Only persistent to it can we win. To a certain extent, her willingness is precious. How should we recommend on her? We should praise her for her selflessness, or shout at her for her silliness. One who does not understand how to harvest love, is not worthy praisal. Love will not come to you itself. You should attempt to gain it. Can we say she is rational? Maybe to a certain degree, she is. But love can not totally be obtained by rational decisions. It is selfish. Therefore, we should know when to be sensible and when to be rational.

So my friends, in Sense and Sensiblity Book ,what have you learned? What types of love do you want to get,vagorous or like the proverb says “Love me little, love me long”? It is your choice. However, sense and sensibility shoule both be taken into consideration. I wish all lovers could harvest happiness. Good luck to you, my friends.

Glenn Beck’s new novel “The Overton Window” will rank at the top of the New York Times Bestsellers List for adult fiction on July 4th.There are many  articles likes The Overton Window review has been wrriten by many people who interested in it.Glenn Beck has delivered a novel which is ripped from today’s headlines and destined to be as controversial as it is eye-opening and mixs American history, frightening facts about our present condition, and a heart-stopping plot together. The Overton Window will enlighten, educate, and entertain with twists and revelations.

This will be Beck’s sixth consecutive first bestseller. Publisher Simon & Schuster says  that Beck is the only author having had books debuts at the top of NYT’s lists for hardcover fiction, nonfiction paperback, children’s picture book and hardcover nonfiction.

The title, “The Overton Window” refers to a trick of altering expectations until the unthinkable becomes reasonable. The Overton Window is a way of visualizing ideas that define range of acceptance by where they fall in. Proponents outside the window want to persuade and educate the public so that the window either “moves” or expands to encompass them. Opponents within the window seek to convince people that these should be considered unacceptable. That makes those old fringe ideas look less extreme, and thereby acceptable. The idea that the public with fringe ideas intended to be and remain unacceptable will make the real target ideas seem more acceptable by comparison.

The Overton Window is full of irony, albeit of the unintentional variety. The novel reveals Glenn’s views of the world as it would be and he lays out the scenario by which he believes the progressive movement can undermine the country.You can also look some  The Overton Window reviews to share ideas with other people.

A plan to destroy America, a hundred years in the making, is about to be unleashed . . . can it be stopped? The book’s plot circles around the conspiracy of a slick Manhattan PR type named Arthur Gardner to put an end to the American experiment in self-government. Gardner believes that through proper manipulation he can make Americans accept even the most radical ideas, and he has cooked up a plot to take over the nation. Battling against him are a brave and beautiful patriot named Molly, and Gardner’s own son, Noah, who has fallen in love with Molly and come to see the world through her eyes.

“The Overton Window” is judged not by its literary value, or its contribution to the thriller genre, or the money it earns, but rather by the rebelliousness it incites among anti-government extremists. If the book is found tucked into the ammo boxes of self-proclaimed patriots and recited at “tea party” assemblies, then Beck will have achieved his goal. Glenn knows that the very best way to scare us is to show us what can really happen. Get ready to sleep with the lights on. This is the one you shouldn’t miss.(Read More…)

The theme of Pride and Prejudice is about love and marriage, three typical types of marriages—marrying for wealth and position, for beauty and passion, for true love but also considering the lover’s morality, wealth and position. And this is also Pride and Prejudice Summary. Most readers think that Jane and Mr. Bingley’s marriage is traditional, because they care more about man’s wealth and woman’s beauty. Lydia and Wickham’s marriage is believed to be disgusting. They get together for their passion, not for the true love. Almost every one holds that Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is perfect. Wife is a lady, beautiful and virtuous, and husband is a gentleman, wealthy and moralized.

However, we should know that idealized love is just a fairy tale, not the real life. Austen did not marry all her life, single. However, it seems that all her novels are about love. A woman who doesn’t experience love and marriage can really understand what true love is ? I do doubt. That an intelligent, wealty and hansome man chooses a pretty, bright and virtuous lady is considered quite a right choice, not only in the east bur also in the west. And the most important is the true love exists between the lady and the gentleman. The marriage includes all those important aspects is a perfect marriage. Maybe Austen expects such a kind of marriage. Because of no such exsitence, just expectation, she only idealizes it, in the novel. Thus, Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is merely a dream, not generally existed in reality,but heart of Pride and Prejudice summary.

Jane falls in love with Bingley. For his wealth? For his beautiful appearance? We do not know. Maybe they are part of it. If no material fundament, how can they live a stable life? Jane is not as strong as her sister Elizabeth. She hides her passion quitely. Because she fears that her bravity will brings the unacceptable rumore. This is her humor. And Mr.Bingley is just like her. He could not sure Jane ‘s love to him. So their love and marriage is just around the bush. Morever, Bingley happens to be rich with a considerable good family backgroud and Jane is also a good-looking lady. As a result, we draw a conclusion, their love is conventioal. But I argue that it is just because of a series of incidents connected together. Is it really traditional? We should find more evidences.

The most thrilling part of  the novel is Lydia’s elopment with Wickham. It is really a hit at that time. Their behaviors are not accepted by the local people. After she elopes with Wickham and he is paid to marry her, she shows no remorse for the embarrassment that her actions caused for her family, but acts as if she has made a wonderful match of which her sisters should be jealous. Should she feel embarrassed and guilt? According to the standard of manner and virtue in Austen’s times, she should. But just at her position, she should not blame. It is her way to pursue her love and marriage. Can all the people be fit in one shoe? This is the reality. The wood lives various birds, lovely and ugly.

Therefore, Elizabeth’s marriage is just a dream while the marriage between Lydia and Wickham is the true reflection of life. We live in reality, not in the visualized world, just choosing our own way to pursue love and marriage.
