reflection

I need to read some works and analyze their novel structure and central ideas. In the current situation, I think of these two novels. I once read them, these are two world famous books. They are all worth reading out at this time. When reading, I have the habit of sketching sentences, so this time I quickly read based on the sketched sentences and summarize the contents of these two books. After summing up, I analyzed the central ideas expressed in the novel and marked some values ​​that are worth learning from. These analyses help remind me how to grasp the overall values ​​of the novel, and tell me how to think critically when the plot is brilliant and complete.
