英文版《月亮与六便士》读后感

The Moon and Sixpence and I

It is said that The Moon and Sixpence was a fairy tale written for adults。 However， I hadn’t realized that it was the time for me to read this book until last semester.

I used to get extremly frustrated after entering college. As an engineering student, I even felt more tired than high school。 There were so much knowledge I was supposed to absorb that I didn’t have a second to build my own interests. Finally I perceived that I should stop and have a break. Then I bought this book by chance。

The hero of this novel called Strickland. He worked as a broker in a stock exchange and had a happy family at the beginning。 Yet he gave up all of those enviable issues including his children. Everyone thought he must be crazy。 His wife and relatives suspected him of loving someone else。 Ultimately the truth exceeded everybody’s expectations。 Strickland was just made a decision that he would escape from his old life and become an artist。 The only problem was that he didn’t know how to draw. To everyone’s surprise， he succeeded at last。

After I’ve finished this book, I believe that I’ve recognized something unique， something I can’t speak out. I can only say that we all have the ability to change our lives, if you're not content with your current life, don't just cross your arms and complain about it。 No one but you are taking control of your life.
