How could we get from a Lost
      -----particular depth ignited by John Milton

The first time to look through it, Paradise Lost is just a famous masterpiece. the poem tells the experience of a man named Satan's(a widedly kown devil) ,rebelling against God, then expelled  from Heaven acccompanying  the rest of the rebellious angels, and how he tempted Adam and Eve so that they dared to eat the forbidden fruit and agitate the almighty Lord. After so many chances to review this epic, the spectacular  story  tells not only the myth of Jesus' temptation in seducing the inner devil of Satan and how he resisted  the “sweat -talk”from satan , also the imminent  test  descend  on humanity's  behalf  which Adam and Eve has failed.
    The first depth in Lost----- praise of revolution
It is an enlightenment  through huge and ambitious in distribute, powerful and stiring up in its words, bright in its depictions.For many centruies ,Satna is a vicious brand representing for all sin,but Milton speaks highly of him on his rebellion ,especially against authority. A bold character with perseverence won satan admiration .
In the Bible, almighty God is the creator of mankind, but has been portrayed as a tyrant in this epic.Ironically, Milton couldn't blame God in his work puclicly as a pious puritan,so he made a compliment to him similar to his figure who has a counterpart in Old Testament. Referring  to the seriouness of images building,he didn't restrain his anger to this holy “saint” when he wrote that how God toiled angels and rebelled Adam and Eve . At paradise, he was egoistic, arbitrary and without equality or justice. Under this condition,the author take advantages of satna to identify God as a “self-centered ruler and tyrant ”.Satna held in mind that he wanted to launch a battle agaist him , teaching him a lesson with reverenge. That’s what we can get from his poets“conquer with violence only halfway home.(以力服人者，只是服人的一半)”
The tyrant in paradise reflects the one on earth and the image of God is a mirror of Stuart at that age. Therefore It is quite natural to unveil God with exposures and indignation .Cannon was used for fight against God by Satan picturing the confliction between Capitalists and Feudalists in England in 1970s to indicate this event set in the real world.                                                                                         

The second depth lies in Lost-----a positive presence of “Love”
Milton profusely adhere life ,nature and love to a perfect depiction of Adam and Eve inheriting a traditional humanstic ideoloy from Renaissance.“They are not induling in the Garden of Eden which brimming with joys and vitality but thirsty for knowledge and puzzles of life. Both of the fresh creatures strive for truth at any cost even they realize it worths an eternal darkness of death.”
Adam and Eve have enterprise and determination for work molding them the personality of being industrious and modest. They are not regret of facing deportation as a punishment from God for having eaten the forbidden fuirt .Adam observed:“what should it matter,I can feed the family with my own hands, it is much better than being a lazy creature.”poet appreciate his will to life ,vigor to struggle which lacking in his blood. Human beings can survive with hard work without relaying on the power of Heaven.Obviouly,this concept descended from Renaissance.
Meanwhhile,as the poem goes,Milton sang a song of love sprouting  in a realationship of Adam and Eve,which obtains respect and loyalty. Obsessing over the earth,they lingered on their fruit of love
A Chinese edition translated as this:
“于是他将她手儿触抚轻轻，then he gentelly caress her fingers
出声和婉甚，有若西风嘘拂繁花境，voice as tender as wind brush away a beautiful scenery


This words are distinctive evaluation of love featured in the poems at Renaissance.The most impressive part consists in the sharing of weal and woe for Adam and Eve .They attached to each other with belief and stucking by it. It is not the intention of Adam to eat the forbidden fruit ,but in order to cast his lot with his wife,he followed her step having no regard for his own fate and life.
However, Puritanic mind shadowed on the fortune of this poor lover. As a model of honesty, Adam is a man with strong power of temperating greed while Eve is mild and frail who cannot resist temptation.It is the root of misery of mankind for Adam to spoil his wife abandoning principles and undertake the disastrous result.Yet we must consider this through an objective angle not blindly undertand this epic standing by the author’s side. What eventually comes out will be an abundence of  beauty and possibility.

The third is the overwhelming scene and boundless spectacle
The style of this epic derived from Homa,Vigil,Dante who have a reputation for unprecedented scale. Mutivolumes with herotic scenery. Paradise Lost consists of  three prominent parts:Heaven, Hell, and Eden as well which strech out in vast space. The combination of different occasions: grand Heaven of profoundation,mirthless Hell carrys terror,poetic Edem with luxriant ,all of these elements constitude a overwhelming sight of the splendid epic. Centered by the rebellion and revenge of Satan against God, unfolding a volume of fierce campaign which will be memorized forever. The events that led up to the insurrectionist were shown in a series of flashbacks splahsed splendourly and spectacularly(reference to volume 5,6) There was no past Paradise from which we fell for the crime of wanting to understand the world. There is no future Hell awaiting those who dare to question and think for themselves. There is nothing for an honest investigator to fear. We are not fallen, we are not sinners, we are not wretches. We are human beings, all equal, and when we finally awake from the mythological dreams of our past, we will know and understand the much brighter light of the world as it truly is - and in that understanding lie the true keys to an earthly paradise.
That doesn't  sound like a defeated troop but clenching their morale to set another battle until victory. Paradise is a epitaph for revolutinary after the restoration of Staurt, encougeing them to fight on freedom and human right structruing his epic with strong sense of righteousness.Paradise Lost is written in blank verse，resounding and exaltating with streching lines and freely beauty，deserves to be called a  treature of British  parnassus in  17th century。

What will ever lasting—after a “Braveheart”

The monarch crown of 1995's summer in England seems to have arrived early. It's daunting to imagine any motion picture released between now and August matching “ Braveheart ” for audiences.With its clashing armies, astounishing action, and grand sense of romance, this is the sort of film it's a pleasure to see and review. Stating my inclination as follows:

1. I'm a big fan of the epic adventure
A  catalogue  in which Braveheart, like soap bubbles, drifting to the top. There's countless in this film that's praiseworthy with applaud -- not the least of which is its ambition and scenaio. Those viewing this picture may be easily reminded of Gettysburg——“The Last of the Mohicans”(最后一个莫西干人), Glory, and such classics as Lawrence of Arabia, and Spartacus. The grandeur and splendid view of Scotland is certainly presented glamorouly; nevertheless, Gibson gives us not only memorable battles, but characters of mankind
Admiring  from “master act” like David Lean who holds sway in realistic performing, the actor  has knitted an exceptional cinematic tapestry craft  in only his great effort. Most of the time, three hour movies have a few flat spots, but the process of bosoming the  “Braveheart” is constantly on the move --  from start to finish. When the end credits began to roll, I was hard pressed to accept that nearly 170 minutes had elapsed. It was elements in the movie such as battle,betrayal,paradox,sacrifice,rvieting the tone of the director’s angle.

2.William Wallace (Gibson)
The essential character is William Wallace (Gibson), a prominent hero in Scottish history whose legend has surely outstripped fact (in its own unique way, the film acknowledges this). Wallace fought for Scotland's freedom in the late 13th century, wielding his broadsword and influence to defeat the forces of King Edward I (Patrick McGoohan), the British monarch who had declared himself king of Scotland upon the former ruler's demise and decreed the regulations of occuping the virginity of a bridge in the first night.
Braveheart erects slowly to its first climax. Much of the early film concentrates on Wallace's love for Murron (Catherine McCormack). Their affectation  is not that pace up , yet this is all matting scene for the advent of rebelling. The real peak of the story, which includes political mechanations, betrayal, and spectacular battles, is yet to come. Patrick Henry once said, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" That might well be Wallace's motto. "It's all for nothing if you don't have freedom!" The nobles of Scotland fight for land and riches, but Wallace stands for the individual, and earns respect with words and deeds.
No sharp armament as his counterpart rivals  and wearing a long-haired wig, Gibson pours his usual courage and wisdom of charisma to the title role. Patrick McGoohan,(best known from TV's Secret Agent Man and The Prisoner) is almost unrecognizable beneath a snowy beard. His Edward the Longshanks penetrate a touch of cold menace and resolute look . He's a worthy enemy for Wallace because his intelligence goes with  his ruthlessness. Sophie Marceau, the French actress who plays Princess Isabelle, and Catherine McCormack are both immensely appealing and eye-driving.
3.  Braveheart is a brutal, bloody motion picture, but the violence is not gratuitous.
The remaings, decapitations, and other assorted gruesome details make Wallace's world seem authentic,unpredictable but bold.  In addition, few theatrical moments make a more eloquent statement against war than when Gibson shows women and children weeping over the dead on a body-littered battlefield. War is a two-headed beast, and both faces -- the glorious and the tragic -- are depicted.
“Braveheart”  comes in pairs in filim history,widely known are its predecessors: two Robin Hoods, two Columbuses, two Earps, and now two Highlander epics. Rob Roy, the first, is a fine motion picture. Braveheart, however, is better, offering an exhilarating craft , highlighting touching experience that has viewers leaving the theater caught up in an afterglow of wonder. These days, heros like William Wallace are as rare as real sarcrtfice and chaos of society today are not always be seen

On Student Lovers’ Living Together
According to an official statistics, the number of college student lovers living together off campus in Changsha has increased by four times between 2001 and 2005. This is undeniably true of many other places in China. Although many students do not strongly object to it, I don't think it is advisable for college student lovers to live together away from campus.
Some lovers say that living together can help study better, for it can help them get rid of the interference of other students. This is actually not true. When living away from campus, the lovers will always think of each other rather than the teachers’ assignment, and other unavoidable family chores such as eating and washing will also take much time away that might have been spent on study. / Besides, many courses now require group work or cooperation. If they stay away from other classmates, how can they study these courses well?  
Some lovers say that living together can relieve their loneliness and pressure, but it is not really the best choice. On the one hand, the real reason for their loneliness is that they are not focusing their mind on study. Study, the most important task for university students, can prove to be fascinating if you real focus on it. / On the other hand, even if their loneliness is real, there are many better ways to deal with it. / For instance, they can find friends to take sports or other entertaining activities. By staying away from other classmates, living together can be a source of rather than solution to loneliness.
Other lovers argue that they mean to get married after graduation，and this experience can help them test each other if they are suitable for married life. But this mentality does not hold water. The two lovers may really love each other, but living together can actually spoil a good relationship, because it is entered into out of weakness rather than strength, doubt rather than conviction. / A follow-up study shows that few couples living together really end in marriage.
In a word, those student lovers cannot find enough reasons to justify their choice. What they can offer all represent self-deception or misconception. Although universities are not allowed to forbid students loving off campus, they can still find more effective ways to convince this lost group of the disadvantages, and improve teaching and after-class activities to attract them back to campus.
