If I ask you who is the ugliest person in literary works? Do you think of Quasimodo from Notre Dame de Paris? But today I won't discuss Quasimodo, rather want to share some of my views on Esmeralda with you.

Notre Dame de Paris is a compulsory book for middle school students. When I first read this book, I thought Esmeralda was a kind-hearted beauty. But when I read it again, I came up with some new ideas.

Esmeralda had always wanted to find her mother and fortunately they met in church by chance. However, they had only just met, people who arrested Esmeralda had already approached them. If her mother had hidden her, everything would have be fine, and a new life was about to come. But the moment Esmeralda heard the voice of Phoebus, she forgot everything and only knew to stand up, rush out, and loudly call out to the person she loved. This action directly led to the death of her mother and her own hanging.

Maybe Mr. Hugo is to some extent using the kindness and beauty of the protagonist to contrast stupidity. The previous text always describe Esmeralda's beauty and kindness, but later write that Esmeralda tramples on Casimodo's love recklessly. She doesn't see Quasimodo's love, only see Quasimodo's ugliness, and accepts his kindness with peace of mind. At the end, the writer writes about her foolish behavior, which would make readers even more disgusted by the woman who lost her head for love.

The stories in the book, whether fictional or realistic, come to some extent from reality. When you read this book again, you may have different feelings than when you were in junior high school before, and you may find that many "Esmeraldas" are around you.

记得第一次看《云边有个小卖部》的时候是高二那年，那是一个燥热的夏天，而且是让人觉得十分难捱的夏天，身边清凉的西瓜，手里缓缓拿起这本书，突然想要看一看，这本买了好多年，却是第一次翻开。

“云边有个小卖部，货架堆着岁月和夕阳，背后就是山。老人靠着躺椅假装睡着，小孩子偷走了一块糖。泪水几点钟落地，飞鸟要去向何方。人们聚和离，云朵来又往。讲故事的人，总有一个故事不愿讲。时光飞逝，悄悄话变成纸张。” “云的边缘带上金黄色，天际缓缓变亮，朝日从云边出来，霞光无声蔓延，翻腾的云海似乎就在脚下。”我惊艳于作者的文笔，也惊艳于他笔下的情感细腻的人物和温柔到极致的环境描写，像是置身其间，感受着时间在作者的笔下缓缓流淌，像是终于找到了可以停泊的港湾。

古人云：“死生亦大矣，岂不痛哉。”生死之事，自古以来就是人们亘古不变的话题，而对于生死，每个人的看法都不近相似，所以才有了如今人们的颇多感慨，离别或是遗憾，或是惋惜，或是不舍，或是沉默，或是余生漫漫路上的怀念，或是前进路上的启航灯，指引前行。

我永远记得程霜的那一段话：“生命是有光的。在我熄灭以前，能够照亮你一点，就是我所有能做的了。”我曾无数次地感动于这个像是太阳一般的女孩子，耀眼而又温柔，即便身患绝症，却活得异常洒脱，像是山间来去自由的风，成为了一束温暖的阳光。作者在《云边有个小卖部》中写道：“有些人刻骨铭心”，没几年会遗忘。有些人不论生死，都陪在身旁。也许故事的开始早就暗示了我们程霜和刘十三的命运，我多么希望他们之间能有如果。“那么热的夏天， 少年的后背被女孩的悲伤烫出一个洞， 一直贯穿到心脏， 无数个季节的风穿越过这条通道， 有一只萤火虫在风里飞舞， 忽明忽暗。”

“外婆真的好想活下去，真想永远陪着你，外婆在你就有家。”外婆对于刘十三的爱是无条件的。亲人就是这样，即便知道我们有一天会羽翼丰盈，他们却依旧担心，依旧毫无保留地爱着我们，总是放手让我们飞翔，却一个人独自地承受着孤独，总是担忧着远方追逐梦想的我们会不会劳累，吃的好不好，睡得好不好……他们的爱从来都不是以爱为名的枷锁，而是无声的力量，温柔缱绻。

“有朵盛开的云，缓缓滑过山顶，随风飘向天边，刘十三以后才会明白，有些告别就是最后一面。”这是人生的遗憾，所以活在当下显得弥足珍贵，做想做的事情，成为想成为的人。

“王莺莺，我没本事点亮整条路了，就挂一盏，山顶挂一盏，你肯定能看见的，记得要回家。”爱，大概是，不论生死，我依旧爱你。

也许我们每个人的心里都有一个云边小卖部，那里装载着我们的童年回忆，装载着我们的思念和牵挂，转载着我们曾经想要实现的梦想。
