The author writes cicadas, first restraining and then promoting. Where is the suppression? Where is Yang? What kind of thoughts and feelings are expressed through one suppression and one promotion?
The purpose of this topic is to understand the author's writing method of restraining before promoting, and at the same time guide the in-depth understanding of the text content and theme.
First of all, the noise of cicadas is annoying, which is a kind of repression. Secondly, writing about seeing a sick cicada and writing about its smallness and weakness is another kind of repression. A friend said that in 17, the cicada was buried under the soil and only lived for one summer, so the cicada began to surprise people. When my friend finally said that cicadas must live well in order to prolong their life, the impression of cicadas has changed from disgust and nausea to showing the meaning of life.
From suppression to promotion, the implication is profound, which conveys the theme of this article: live well no matter how short life is.
Second, contact the context and understand the profound meaning of the following sentences.
1. Should I also make use of my own abilities to make what I can do more exquisite, meticulous and meticulous?
2. After thousands of years, maybe someone will watch and play with my traces repeatedly, and can't help but sigh gently: "What a stubborn and simple heart!"
The purpose of this topic is to understand the author's thoughts and feelings more deeply through the pondering of sentences.
1. This sentence goes on to say, "How exquisite, how careful and meticulous the residence God has built for it." Compared with the life in the shell, I realize that although my life is limited, it is still a little longer than the life in the shell, and I have more space to express my excitement: I want to do things as delicately and better as possible.
2. The author doesn't want to build a great career. She just wants to imagine that little shell, carefully and meticulously create a persistent and beautiful image, give back to life and touch people's hearts. "Stubbornness" and "simplicity" are the author's relatively modest statements, which shows that she does not crave people's absolute praise and worship for her. What she longs for is a touch, hoping to touch the world like the beauty of shells touched her.
Compare and read two texts and talk about their similarities and differences.
This topic aims to guide students to read two texts together and deepen their understanding of the texts through comparison.
Similarities:
1. It's all because of a small "thing" that triggered some insights into life.
2. The understanding of life is positive and serious.
3. The description of "things" is meticulous, and the style is fresh and natural.
Difference:
1. "Cicada" is first suppressed and then promoted, and "shell" is the direct theme.
2. Cicada's understanding of life is that no matter whether life is short or not, we should face it positively and live well; "Shell" is to do what you can more carefully, more exquisitely and more meticulously.
3. The metaphor of the author's attitude towards life in Cicada does not directly express the meaning of cicada's life; "Shell" clearly put forward the idea of doing things seriously, and expressed the need to leave something to the world that is worth cherishing and marveling.
