6. Chekhov Mo Bosang O Henry's masterpiece, the more good sentences, the better. "After a few days of contact, the retreating team passed through the city in dribs and drabs. They are no longer regarded as any army. They are simply a group of scattered rabble ... "The story happened in the Franco-Prussian War, when the French army was defeated and the Prussian army occupied Rouen. There are 65,438+00 people in Rouen: traffickers and couples. Mr. and Mrs. Lamadon, noble virtues? The Earl and Lady of Breville, two nuns, Gao, a "democratic patriot", and boule de suif, a prostitute, left the Prussian occupied area in a carriage on a cold night, with heavy snow.
On the way, it didn't go well. On the way, I met a tall young Prussian officer. Because he was drooling over boule de suif, he asked boule de suif to stay with him for the night, or he would detain the whole car indefinitely. Although boule de suif was a prostitute, she was angry and refused to obey out of hatred for the invaders and love for the motherland.
Prussian officers know the essence of human nature very well, and he holds the trump card in his hand. "He means that if his hopes are not met one day, he must detain everyone for one day." At first, when the people in the car heard the truth about boule de suif's detention, they felt indignant.
"At that time, I only heard a voice condemning this shameless Qiu Ba and an angry complaint; Everyone United to resist the enemy, as if the enemy wanted boule de suif to make sacrifices, and each of them had a share ... "After the initial indignation of the crowd was detained," everyone seemed a little cold to Boule de Suif "; "They almost resent this woman now, why didn't she secretly go to the Prussian ..." The crowd worried about their situation and suggested leaving boule de suif alone and letting them leave. After being rejected by the Prussian officers, they had to change their methods to persuade and convince boule de suif ... Finally, Boule de Suif endured humiliation for everyone's benefit and obeyed the Prussian officers in exchange for their release, but was met with a cold shoulder by shameless fellow passengers. "Several mouths keep opening and closing, opening and closing, swallowing, chewing and swallowing, which is fierce."
..... "The basket was eaten. 10 people ate a basket of things and cleaned it effortlessly. It is a pity that everyone thinks that the basket is only this big, not a little bigger.
Since we finished eating, the conversation has cooled down a little, but it has continued for a while. "The author depicts a group of ugly and vulgar people around the beautiful and kind boule de suif. Although they have lofty social status, they have dirty souls that are inversely proportional to their status.
By comparing nature, language and status, we can clearly see good and evil, beauty and ugliness. Emotion also changed from reverence to contempt, from sympathy to anger.
As victims of the Franco-Prussian War, the differences between people are so great. People who are usually serious and even respected show despicable faces in the face of disasters, while those who have no status and dignity in society show selfless kindness.
Through the use of contrast, the author did not directly tell us whether the image of boule de suif is beautiful or ugly, but we have a deep understanding of her beauty and kindness. People in the war are preoccupied with their own affairs and only want to save their lives.
On the other hand, Boule de suif is different. Although she took a bus to avoid disaster in order to save her life, the author still turned the reader's attention to the food and clothes boule de suif took with him.
Here, the author doesn't explain boule de suif's bravery and composure, but from the ample food and luggage, we can see that boule de suif "ran away" with dignity, unlike those "decent" couples who are usually arrogant, but when the danger happens, they expose their nature one by one and forget the food in a hurry. The author's unique vision hides everyone's words and deeds, and simply explains everyone's luggage and articles, so that we can suddenly see who is brave and who is a coward in the face of disaster.
At this point, it seems that the author has not revealed enough. He wrote in a contemptuous tone, "gentlemen" in order to fill their stomachs, completely ignoring their previous dignity and face, wives instantly turned their original pretence of chastity into ambiguity and kindness. Their purpose is clear enough, that is, to occupy boule de suif's food and wrap their stomachs.
Here, the author describes everyone's eating in detail in an ironic way, so that we can clearly see that these "superior people" who bully the weak and fear the hard on weekdays will also show their ugly images of rudeness and gorging like hungry beggars who suddenly get food. "Several mouths keep opening and closing, opening and closing, swallowing, chewing and swallowing, which is fierce."
..... "The basket was eaten. 10 people ate a basket of things and cleaned it effortlessly. It is a pity that everyone thinks that the basket is only this big, not a little bigger.
Since we finished eating, the conversation has cooled down a little, but it has continued for a while. "Mo Bosang is a thoughtful and effective writer, but he is also a good at hiding. There is almost no straightforward preaching in his articles, and the greatest feature of his creation is that he is good at hiding himself.
At the same time, he skillfully mastered how to convey his views to readers while hiding, and finally enlightened and educated readers. This kind of concealment is not a real concealment. It only highlights the theme of the work, which is more intriguing than those plain sentences and lengthy truths.
In boule de suif, this kind of "hidden" art can be seen everywhere. He describes and explains the activities of the characters objectively, calmly and without any personal feelings.
Quite simply, we entered the soul of the characters in the novel with no effort, and in it, turning and overlapping, thinking and understanding were spontaneous, not forced or imposed by the author at all. Realism is different from avant-garde. Different from avant-garde writing techniques, realism focuses on its own language, style and narrative, which is supported by fiction and imagination.
Realism is the reappearance of real events in art and life. Boule de suif, the hero of the novel, is a prostitute, belonging to the lowest level of society and a group of people who are despised and humiliated.
Their existence seems to represent the depravity of human beings and the darkness of society. In the novel, the heroine boule de suif appears there in this image.
7. O'Henry's 27 short stories should be read with reading notes (with good words, sentences and main contents). The Gift of the Maggie is an interesting article written by O'Henry. It mainly tells the story that poor Della, who lived in an apartment the day before Christmas, wanted to surprise her husband Jim, but she only had one yuan and eighty-seven cents. She knew that the money was not enough to buy any good gifts. So she cut off her proud brown waterfall hair and sold it for $20. After searching all the shops, Della spent 2 1 USD, and finally bought a simple platinum watch chain that could match Jim's gold watch. Jim also wants to surprise his wife. He also sold the proud gold watch and bought a set of beautiful combs that Della had been envious of for a long time as a Christmas present. Although on the surface, they unwisely sacrificed their most precious things for each other, I deeply feel that they love each other deeply. In order to buy the best gift for each other, they can sacrifice their most precious things. But when both parties sell their precious things, the other party's gifts are no longer suitable for them. When they do these things, they are thinking of each other without considering themselves at all. It is because they love each other. Moreover, it is because we love each other deeply that we have such an interesting ending. After reading this article, I understand that we should care about others so that others will love us. With love, people will understand each other and there will be warmth between people. It is precisely because of the love between people and animals that animals will trust human beings, will not harm human beings, and live in peace with human beings. Love is really powerful. There is a song that says: As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world. When the Indian Ocean tsunami happened last year, people all over the world lent a helping hand, donated money and materials to help the victims rebuild their homes and reunite with their lost relatives. From this incident, I feel the pure friendship between people of all countries. I believe that as long as our hearts are full of love, our world will have a better tomorrow, the last leaf. That's why I want to see the last leaf fall. I'm tired of waiting and thinking. I want to get rid of everything and float down like a poor, tired leaf. Actually, I want to tell you, don't be so boring, learn something, at least. Hold on to youth, and don't let it leave you. Three years of junior high school should be cruel, because it only comes once, and when it comes, we don't know life and are not ready to meet it. I don't want you to have too much loss, regret and sadness when you walk out of this door and look back. Maybe you lost confidence in your study because of repeated failures, and found it too difficult and sad. No, why give up! For a long time, I thought I should control my own destiny; I have always believed that every life in this world has the right to be wonderful in high live. I always regard myself as a warrior, and I will try any adventure; All along, after every loss and failure, I ordered myself to stand up bravely! Have you ever thought about being responsible for your future? We don't need others to draw that leaf. Let's say to ourselves: Never give up, at any time! Choice: Give yourself Berman, a great painter. Although he has been down and out for most of his life, he has always had a resounding goal-painting a "great masterpiece." For forty years, he never gave up painting because of failure. He has been waiting for an opportunity. Johnsy Berman is more like a failed hero than putting his life on a swaying leaf. All of us must respect each other. However, if you think about it calmly, it is not advisable to be as blind as Berman. Without the last accident, he would be a complete wretch. In this world, natural selection and survival of the fittest. Since he has no talent for painting and can't have greater development, he should be wise and change to a new way of life on the premise of survival. Try to live a better life instead of sticking to undeveloped paintings. Learning is like a tree-maybe so is life. We can't do every leaf and everything well. Just like me, I can't fully participate in all competitions, I can't master my favorite flute and erhu, and I can't be good friends with every classmate. So I chose to give up, I gave up a lot of leaves. I gave up the math contest that I couldn't succeed, but I didn't give up myself. I gave up some leaves just to let the limited water and nutrition separate the flowers and fruits I wanted, just to make my roots grow stronger and have a more promising future. So I gave up what I should give up, but I never gave up on myself. After reading the police and hymns, when people really want to work hard, God is stingy and reneges. There is no denying that opportunity waits for no one, it is not passive, and it will not wait for you to analyze this, analyze that, consider this and consider a series of trivial things before deciding to do it. Perhaps it itself is a fleeting "spirit" that tests our courage, courage, wisdom and soul. But that doesn't mean everything. Of course, opportunities also need to be cherished and used well. It is already difficult to meet opportunities, and it is even more difficult to make full and thorough use of them. How to "perfect" it better is a key point. Didn't that policeman give Soapy a lot of opportunities? However, Soapy didn't know anything about it, but he kept playing the clown of life for the so-called "goal" in his heart and enjoyed it. Fortunately, he kept writing "stumbling" on the stage, but in the end he was laughed off as a joke. The end of a drama.
8. The Waves of Life O Henry appreciates the people he gets along with today. What will happen in 20 years? Don't say that we have been separated for 20 years, even if we have the opportunity to meet relatives or friends occasionally, the changes will be great, but the changes in appearance will not be great, but the differences in experience, situation and attitude towards life will be great.
Young readers might as well play this 20-year contract with your friends, which is similar to playing time capsules. In his works, Wells changed from a dull and honest man to a capable policeman. Bob, on the other hand, has changed from a clever man who is unwilling to be ordinary to an outlaw.
Fate played a trick on this pair of former good partners, and after 20 years, they became irreconcilable policemen and gangsters, and their life tracks were traceable. Wells adheres to principles and gives consideration to friendship.
O Henry is an excellent short story writer. His work style is often famous for its unexpected ending, and many people imitate it. Therefore, this technique is known as "The End of O Henry" and has become one of the characteristics of China's mini-novels. More than half of China's contemporary plot mini-novels have more or less imitated this ending, even non-plot novels, such as poetic novels, The Butterfly Forever, are unexpected.
This work is close to two thousand words, originally classified as a short story. In foreign countries, there is no mini-novel, but there is a title of "short story", which generally refers to extremely short stories and also includes general stories, which is equivalent to the connotation of "short story" in China, and "extremely short story" in Taiwan Province Province includes short stories.
Minifiction is limited to novels, which is different from short stories and general stories. Twenty years later, except for a little more words, all conform to the stylistic and artistic features of China's modern short stories.
From this work, we can see the horizontal reference of China's modern short stories. From this work, readers can find that O'Henry's ending is not a hard surprise, and the commentator's statement is unexpected but reasonable.
To say that the ending of this work is reasonable, we should pay attention to some details: their personalities show different life orientations; Criminals tend to dissect themselves voluntarily; Bob's smug overconfidence lightened his due vigilance; The dim light at the scene also blurred the line of sight, but the details of lighting the cigarette made Wells see it clearly; Bob's casual exposure to wealth also exposed him; Wells' honest character and police experience made him calmly face his criminal friends. All of the above can be seen from the author's artistic ingenuity.
Excellent mini-novels all have a common feature, and their ideas are ingenious and precise. Hard surprise is just resorting to simple coincidence, even confusing.
