How to interpret things in prose

Prose can be roughly divided into narrative description of people, description of scenery, discussion and reasoning. The most difficult thing to understand is the description of the scenery. The so-called object is simply to describe things; Specifically, it is to vividly describe the shape, color, size and luster of things. How to interpret material prose?

1, make clear the description order and grasp the overall impression. ? Things? If you want your words to have substance, you should also speak in an orderly way. The writing order is either from generalization to concreteness, from whole to part, or from total score to total score.

2. Grasp the characteristics of things and understand the purpose of writing. Articles about objects always highlight the characteristics of objects through the description of specific images, express thoughts and feelings, and achieve the purpose of writing. This is what is often said: asking for emotion, asking for reason, or asking for meaning. When reading, we should analyze the author's writing intention through superficial phenomena and understand the author's reasons and feelings.

3. Analyze the structure of the article and make clear the level of the article. In the article structure, this kind of article usually adopts the method of arranging materials according to the characteristics of different aspects of things.

4. Grasp the characteristics of the object and analyze the so-called object of the author's emotion. It is the scenery or things written by the author in the article, and it is the support of the author's emotions. Natural landscape, sun and moon, clouds, rain, snow, flowers, trees, birds, animals, insects, fish and places of interest are all favored by the author. However, no matter from what angle the author writes and what the scenery is, what he shows is the poet's subjective feelings. Mountaineering is full of feelings, while watching the sea is full of meaning. The same objective things will show completely different characteristics in the works of different authors, some are vigorous and straight, and some are delicate and weak; Some are full of vitality, and some are languid; Some are open and clear, and some are narrow and cold; Some people are relaxed and happy, while others are sad. We can analyze the author's emotional tendency from these characteristics of the scenery, whether it is love or hate, joy or worry, love or disgust, praise or disgrace.

5. Analyze key sentences and refine the theme. Writing landscape prose not only expresses the author's feelings by describing the scenery, but also directly conveys the author's feelings or thoughts through discussion and lyric, indicating the theme or attitude of the article. These sentences are precise, eloquent and make the finishing point. Some are opinions or judgments on the scenery described, some are excavations and revelations of meaning, and some are the author's emotional outbursts. Students should draw such sentences when reading, then filter and sort out the paragraphs after reading, so as to make the content and theme of the article concrete, then summarize and refine them, and explain or summarize them in their own words.
