The Ministry of Education stipulates that middle school students must read a certain number of world famous books after class. Who can name a few? Yes, for example, Les Miserables is almost a household name. As contemporary middle school students, we should have some knowledge of famous literary works. Starting today, the famous works we want to mention are only defined as foreign literary masterpieces.
2. Analysis: How to read?
First of all, patience is the premise.
Reading works, especially foreign literary works, will encounter obstacles to varying degrees due to the differences of times, environment and eastern and western cultures. For example, Red and Black was written in 1830 on the eve of the French "July Revolution" 1829, and this book was written in 183 1 year. If it is not related to the background at that time, like the French Bourbon Dynasty in 18 14. Therefore, before reading the famous works, we must first have a necessary understanding of the background mentioned in the famous works; Second, it's the name. Foreigners' names are long and awkward, especially Soviet Russian literature. For example, Dostoevsky, the author of Crime and Punishment. What shall we do? In a word, bear it! Patience for 30 to 40 pages first, after this hurdle, there will be a "bright future";
Secondly, we should respect our own tastes.
(q) Which is more important, authority or self-feeling?
Both are heavy. But when there is a contradiction between the two, choose the feeling of "self".
Some famous works are recognized for their high status and artistic achievements, but they are not called. What should I do? Is your level limited? Not exactly. Don't doubt yourself too much Dislike is mainly related to our personality, temperament and experience. The so-called "radish and green vegetables, each has his own love." Flaubert and Hugo don't like Stendhal, and Tolstoy doesn't like Shakespeare. Including The Dust Settled, which won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, was rejected several times at first, and was finally taken a fancy to by People's Literature Society. Celebrities are still like this, let alone ordinary people. At this time, if you want to break through, you must first understand some relevant backgrounds.
