曾達的囚徒的英文讀后感

　　“Will you do an important thing?” “Of course, I will.” That usually will be your answer.

　　“Will you do an important thing? But your happiness, safety, health, wealth will be gone.” “Well…Maybe I won’t.”

　　After reading The Prisoner of Zenda, you may know how hard it is to make a decision and how important it is.

　　Unlike the Rassendyll family, Rudolf Rassendyll looked like the new king of Ruritania. He went to Ruritania for the new king’s coronation. He soon found out that Black Michael wanted to be the king and marry the princess Flavia, even though Flavia was the intended bride of the real king and she loved the king. Rudolf met the king the night before the coronation. Unfortunately, the king drank the wine sent by Black Michael and he could not wake up early next morning. Fritz and Sapt who worked for the king asked Rudolf to take the king’s place because he looked almost the same as the real king. Rudolf was able to refuse and he knew how dangerous he was, because if something wrong was happen, he would lose his life. But he did not do so. He bravely took part in the coronation. If he did not go, Black Michael would be the king and the real king would be dead or a prisoner.

　　It was only a small part of the novel, but what do you think about Rudolf? He chose the way of danger and hardness. He knew how important he was at that time. And he was the only person stood out.

　　As soon as Black Michael knew it, he kept the real king in the castle of Zenda. Rudolf still had to be the king and his adventures began. The princess loved Rudolf as she thought he was the real king. And Rudolf fell in love with the princess too. But he had to save the real king, the prisoner of Zenda. He made plans with Fritz and Sapt. At last, Rudolf won. After fighting with the people who worked for Black Michael and being hurt, Rudolf saved the real king. He said goodbye to the princess Flavia and left the country of Ruritania.

　　Though Rudolf was not the real king of Ruritania, he was the real hero of the country. He could leave the real king and be with the princess. He need not to do so many dangerous things for the real king. He had the opportunity to choose his love, but he did not. He chose the honor and loyalty to the real king.

　　Making decisions is an important thing for us. We choose which to buy and which to eat. We choose where to go and what to do. The happier, the better. The safer, the better. Perhaps these are our common opinions. And I am sure that I usually choose something in this way. What about Rudolf? You may think that it is not a real event. But what about those soldiers who stood out and entered the armies? Without any forcing, they left their homes to protect their countries. What about those teachers who gave up the chance to stay in large cities and went to teach the students in poor areas? They could not get high salaries and they could not see their relatives often. And what about those managers who always did as much as their workers did? … They all made important decisions and lost much happiness or safety. And they all chose the estimable things and all did well.————
