1. Appreciation of the original poem: Paper Boat - Send Mother
I never abandon a piece of paper
p>
Always keep it——keep it,
fold it into a small boat,
throw it from the boat into the sea.
Some were blown into the windows of the boat by the wind,
Some were wetted by the waves and stuck to the bow of the boat.
I still keep folding them every day without getting discouraged,
I always hope that one of them will flow to where I want it to go.
Mother, if you see a small white boat in your dream,
Don’t be surprised that it came into your dream for no reason.
This is what your beloved daughter folded with tears in her eyes.
Thousands of rivers and mountains, please pray that it will carry her love and sorrow back home.

3. Work appreciation: There are many poems expressing maternal love in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, but this poem has its own uniqueness. With the purity and innocence of a child, the poet found a medium from the children's game world - a paper boat - to express his infinite love for his mother, and used this to unfold his own feelings. The first and second stanzas of the poem are about folding paper boats and throwing paper boats: "I never abandon a piece of paper, / always keep it, keep it." This shows that the poet did not do this just for this long trip. It is a move, but a long-standing longing and affection for the mother; "folded into small boats" indicates the large number of folded paper boats, and also shows the deep longing for the mother; the poet "folded the paper boats" After being "thrown from the boat into the sea", "Some were blown into the windows of the boat by the wind,/Some were wetted by the waves and stuck to the bow of the boat." He wrote that the carefully folded paper boat was thrown into The heartbreaking result of the moment after the sea, it hints to the reader that it is actually impossible for the paper boat to float across the sea to his mother, giving people a pessimistic and desperate mood; but the poet still "does not lose heart and folds it every day, always hoping that there will be one It can flow to where I want it to go.” The place it wants to go to is my mother! As the saying goes, "Sincerity leads to gold and stone." Can the poet's wish be realized? In fact, this question is no longer important. The most important thing is that this is the only way for the poet to express his thoughts. Only in this way can the poet solve his problems. The sadness in my heart, only in this way can we fully express the unforgettable feeling of longing.
In the third stanza of the poem, the poet misses the most and expands his imagination: "Mother, if you see a small white boat in your dream, don't be surprised that it entered the dream for no reason." The paper boat cannot float to my mother. By your side, enter your mother’s dream! "This is what your beloved daughter folded with tears in her eyes. May it carry her love and sorrow back home through thousands of rivers and mountains." The title is pointed out, and the emotion reaches its strongest state, which makes people feel sad. This is the most wonderful line in the whole poem. In this poem, it symbolizes the heart that misses the mother and the motherland, and the poet's pure and beautiful wishes.
