Book review

Lord Jim

“Lord Jim " is one of Joseph Conrad's famous book , the novel presented us a man who was bravely search for his lost honor and profoundly exposed the society of that years .

The novel has portrayed many different people; the major character is Jim .It tells about Jim, a sailor, dreams happily of the adventures waiting for him at sea. He sees himself as the brave man who always does his duty just. But danger has come, and Jim is not ready for it, when the accident happens he fails to act as a hero of his dreams, only a man believes in Jim and help Jim to find a new life so Jim started a journey of search for his lost honor. Somebody thought Jim is crowd; some of them said Jim is wonderful. Different people have different opinions. In my opinion ,both people has their positive and negative , even Jim fails to act like the hero of his dreams at once .In my opinion both people has their positive and negative , ademit mistakes and to reveal the truth is the performance of the brave . In the story, Jim not only admits mistakes and to reveal the truth, also he bravely searches for his lost honor. So for this Jim was brave. In this book “follow the dream, to the end." was the most impressive sentence in my mind. Anyway Jim did not go wrong; in fact, he developed wonderfully, and lives his life bravely and honestly to the end.

In my opinion our lives are too short for anyone to judge us fully, and we never have time to say our last word of our love, trust, saddles, guilt and fight against the darkness.
