Teaching process
1. Introduction:
< p> Under my punishment system, I believe everyone is no longer unfamiliar with Haizi's "Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming", let's recall it together. Today, I would like to introduce to you a person who has even less extravagant aspirations than Haizi. He is the American Thoreau. How to understand it, you have to read today’s article "A Drop of God".2. Introduction to the author:
American writer Thoreau was born in Concord, Massachusetts, USA on July 12, 1817. He studied and graduated from 1833 to 1837. Harvard University, taught in his hometown for two years from 1838 to 1840. Then he lived in the home of the great writer and thinker Ralph Waldo Emerson (1841-1843), worked as a disciple and assistant, and began to try writing. In 1845, he took an ax and ran into the uninhabited mountains and forests beside Walden Pond in the state. He lived alone until 1847 before returning to Cannes. In 1849, he wrote a book called "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers." In 1854, the literary masterpiece "Walden" was published. The book had a modest start, but as time went on its impact grew. He died of illness in Cannes in 1862 at the age of 44. He left behind 39 volumes of "Diary", of which many editions and anthologies have been published. This American writer is recognized as a writer who works with loneliness.
The book contains Thoreau’s epigraph: ?I don’t mean to write an ode to depression / Rather, I imagine a rooster in his own habitat / boasting vigorously / If only to remind my neighbors . ?
3. Since everyone is not very familiar with Thoreau and his works, I have picked out some comments from celebrities and you can browse them quickly:
1. Emerson (a famous American writer) Writer, thinker)
The United States still doesn’t know? At least it doesn’t know how great a citizen it has lost. It seemed a sin to leave before his work was completely finished and no one could finish it for him; and it seemed an insult to such a noble soul. ?No matter where you are, as long as you are knowledgeable, moral and beauty-loving, you will definitely be his loyal readers.
2. White (American 20th-century essayist)
I remember my ecstasy when I read it. Many years ago, during a period of hesitation and despair, it was Made me healthy again. Thoreau's "Walden" is still both relevant and timely today. In our unstable season, when everyone is unconsciously looking for seclusion from a world completely out of control, his cabin in the woods of Concord is a haven.
3. George Eliot (a famous British female writer)
"Walden" is an extraordinary book. Severe pollution has caused people to lose the tranquility of the countryside. Therefore, Thoreau's works are read and missed by the whole world.
4. Xu Chi (famous Chinese poet and translator of "Walden")
"Walden" is a quiet book, a very quiet book , is not a lively book. It is a lonely book, a lonely book. It is just a book about one person. The language of "Walden" is astonishing, the words are sparkling, refreshing the heart and lungs, and touching my heart. In the dead of night, when everyone is silent, this book is not obscure and crystal clear. As I read it, I can't help but be fascinated by it.
4. Savor the key sentences below, communicate within the group, and select a representative to speak. (The key sentences are projected)
1. The lake is the most beautiful and expressive appearance in the natural scenery. It is the eye of the earth; he who looks at it can detect the depth of his own nature.
Clearly: In the author's mind, Walden Pond is beautiful, rich, tranquil, broad and spiritual, so he sincerely calls it "the most beautiful and expressive appearance in the landscape" and "the eye of the earth".
The word "nature" in the sentence refers to human nature. Thoreau believes that for a long time, human nature has been suppressed by an increasingly complex society and obscured by increasingly expanding desires. Walden Pond is like a mirror that makes people Rediscover and recognize your true nature.
2. Looking down from the west end, it looks like an amphitheater, and mountain and forest stage plays can be performed on the water. To be clear: Walden Pond looks like an amphitheatre when viewed from the heights of its west end. The surrounding mountains and forests are reflected in the clear lake water, changing with the times, like a drama being staged.
3. On those days, laziness is the most tempting thing, so I spent many mornings leisurely like this. I would rather waste the most precious time of the day like this. I am rich, although it has nothing to do with money, because I have the hours of sunshine and the days and months of summer, and I squander them.
Clear: As many radii as we can draw from the center of the circle, there are as many lifestyles for us to choose from. ?The author thinks that this kind of life is his own life.
4. If my muse is silent, can she be forgiven? The forest has been cut down, how can I hope the birds sing?
Clear:: Explanation . Analogy technique.
5. Appreciation of scene description techniques and language style
1. What are the characteristics of the scene description in this article?
Analysis: Be good at using metaphors and rhetorical techniques. As analyzed just now, the author compares the lake to the "most beautiful and expressive appearance" in the landscape, saying that it is the "eye of the earth". Still in the first paragraph, the author described the trees by the lake as "eyelash-like fringes" and the lushly forested "mountains" and cliffs surrounding the lake as "thick and protruding eyebrows" of the lake. These metaphorical images carefully describe the vivid mood of the lakeside scenery.
2. The language of this article is unique and charming. Although it is literary language, it is indeed simple in nature. Even the vivid metaphors and American humor have abandoned the glitz, showing a kind of condensation and profound meaning. . Let's all read together about a few places that I think are uniquely charming. (1) Section 1; (2) Section 2? On a summer morning, I was awake in a dream, until the boat hit the beach, startling me, so I got up to see what fate had brought. Which shore did I push to?; (3) Section 3? This demonic iron horse, the sound of cracking the eardrum of human ears can be heard in the whole town. It has boiled the spring with its dirty footsteps. The water is turbid, it is it that swallows up the trees on Walden's shore?; (4) Section 5? This lake is certainly the work of a brave man, and there is not a trace of hypocrisy in it! He surrounded it with his hands He raised this lake, deepened and clarified it in his thoughts, and passed it on to Concord in his will. I saw the same reflection on its surface again, and I almost said, Walden, is that you?
6. Thoughts
A drop of God is also God’s Tears, what is the difference between God's tears and human tears?
Clearly: God's tears are shed for the world. Objectively, they are rebirth and reincarnation. But people's tears are shed for themselves, which is selfish and hypocritical.
VII. Supplement
Thoreau has some wonderful comments: If there were no clothes, could people's relative identities be maintained? This is an interesting question. Without clothes, can you tell me exactly who belongs to the noblest class among civilized men? Many kings are crazy enough to keep a large number of carefully carved stones, hoping to make themselves eternal, if they use these thoughts to carve their own thoughts. , so what? A rational thing is more worthy of commemoration than a tall monument. ?When we read these words that sparkle with wisdom, our hearts will suddenly become brighter.
In ancient Western mythology, there are nine beautiful and wise girls on Mount Olympus. They are the daughters of Zeus, the Lord of the Gods, and the goddess of memory. They are responsible for love, wisdom, music, The nine Muses of poetry, drama, dance, philosophy, astronomy, and mathematics are collectively called the Muses. In ancient Greek mythology, the origin of music is shrouded in mystery. According to legend, the god Apollo is in charge of music and has jurisdiction over the nine Muses, the nine daughters of Zeus and the goddess of memory. Each of them is in charge of a different category of art

1. Introduction to "Walden Pond".
(Projection: Thoreau’s photos, Walden Pond and lakeside cabin photos)
If a person is greedy in the pursuit of material life, he will become a slave and become a slave. A slave trapped in the quagmire of material desires and unable to extricate himself. In order to free himself from the complicated and troubled worldly affairs and examine his lifestyle and spiritual state, on July 4, 1845, Thoreau alone held an ax and ran to Concord, two miles away from where he lived. Walden Pond, built a cabin with his own hands and lived in it. There, he worked independently, supported himself, and lived a secluded life with extremely simple material life and extremely rich spiritual life. On the shores of Walden Pond, after work, I can leisurely face the scenery of the lake and mountains, face the morning and dusk of the four seasons, and often realize the true meaning of life while forgetting things and myself. He recorded these scenery and feelings and wrote a book "Walden Pond". The book started out with little success, but later rose to fame and became a classic of world literature.

5. Appreciation of scene description techniques and language style
1. Scenery description is an important content of "Walden".
What are the characteristics of the scene description in this article?
Analysis: First of all, it is good at using metaphors and rhetorical techniques. As analyzed just now, the author compares the lake to the "most beautiful and expressive appearance" in the landscape, saying that it is the "eye of the earth". Still in the first paragraph, the author described the trees by the lake as "eyelash-like fringes", and the lushly forested "mountains" and cliffs surrounding the lake as "thick and prominent eyebrows" of the lake. These metaphorical images carefully describe the vivid mood of the lakeside scenery. Secondly, he is good at changing the scene shots, using different methods such as long shots, close shots, dynamic scenes, still shots, panoramic views, close-ups, etc. to show the richness and charm of Walden Pond from multiple angles. The reason why the scenery described in this article is very natural, realistic and expressive is that the author did not write the scenery for the sake of describing the scenery, but out of love for nature.
2. The language of this article is unique and charming, please give examples.
Analysis: The language in this article is simple and original. Even the vivid metaphors and American humor have abandoned the flashy and appear real and natural. These simple language are more concise and meaningful. For example, one summer morning, I was awake in a dreamlike state, until the boat hit the beach, startling me, and I got up to see which shore fate had pushed me to. The simple words and detailed descriptions contain endless philosophical thoughts. We see at the end of the article that Walden Pond is called "a drop of God" by the author. This passage can also be said to be a clear spring flowing from Thoreau's heart, which suddenly touches the author's distant thoughts on life.
6. Thoughts and insights
1. Some people say that Thoreau was wasting his time and living idle life by Walden Pond, and it was in vain, but Thoreau firmly believed that he was rich. , although this has nothing to do with money, it is rich in sunshine hours and summer days and months, and I can squander them to my heart's content without regrets at all. After reading "A Drop of God", what do you think?
Reference: In fact, the greatest happiness in life is not having huge wealth, but the fulfillment and freedom of the soul. People who are obsessed with fame, fortune and material comfort often feel tired, bored and empty. After work, Thoreau faced the beautiful scenery of Walden Pond, intoxicated by it, and let his soul fly. His life and life became nourished and enriched by it. Thoreau said: "A moment of beautiful experience is worth remembering more than a monument as high as the moon." ?Moreover, only by being freed from the complicated worldly affairs can we truly reflect and examine our own lifestyle and mental state, and understand our inner needs.
2. On the shore of the beautiful Walden Pond, there is a Thoreau Memorial Hall, and there is an endless stream of people visiting here every day. If you come to this place you have longed for, how would you feel? Please write a message of about 100 words in the guest book of the memorial hall.
Reference: With the development of modern industrial civilization, the instrumental rationality in human consciousness is increasingly expanding, the violation of nature has become more and more wanton, and the pursuit of material life has become more and more greedy. People have become slaves to material desires. Thoreau's simple secluded life in harmony with nature at Walden Pond is undoubtedly a wake-up call for people who are addicted to the desire to survive and cannot extricate themselves. Thoreau told the world through his personal practice that people can obtain the greatest spiritual happiness and satisfaction through the most frugal lifestyle.
