Unit two: The plot and the Character Reading: O. Henry, The Gift of the Magi Plot ?A plot is a plan or groundwork for a story, based on conflicting human motivations, with the actions resulting from believable and realistic human responses. ?“The king died, and then the queen died.” ?“The king died, and then the queen died of grief.” Conflict in plot Fictional human responses are brought out to their highest degree in the development of a conflict. In its most elemental form, a conflict is the opposition of two people. They may fight, argue, enlist help against each other, and otherwise carry on their opposition. Conflicts may also exist between larger groups of people, between an individual and larger forces, such as natural objects, ideas, modes of behavior, public opinion, and the like. The existence of difficult choices within an individual’s mind may also be presented as conflict. External Conflict External conflict may take the form of a basic opposition between man and nature, or between man and society. It may also take the form of an opposition between man and man(between the protagonist and a human adversary, the antagonist. Internal Conflict ?Internal conflict, on the other hand, focuses on two or more elements contesting within the protagonist’s own character. ?Some conflicts, in fact, are never made explicit and must be inferred by the reader from what the characters do or say as the plot unfolds, as is the case in Ernest Hemingway’s Hills like White Elephants. Five Stages of Plot (1) ?Exposition:the exposition is the beginning section in which the author provides the necessary background information, sets the scene, establishes the situation, and dates the action. It usually introduces the characters and the conflict, or at least the potential for conflict. Five Stages of Plot (2) ?Complication: The complication, which is sometimes referred to as the rising action, develops and intensifies the conflict. ?Crisis: the crisis (also referred to as the climax) is that moment at which the plot reaches its point of greatest emotional intensity; it is the turning point of the plot, directly precipitating the resolution. Five Stages of Plot (3) ?Falling action: Once the crisis, or turning point, has been reached, the tension subsides and the plot moves toward its conclusion. ?Resolution:It is the final section of the plot which records the outcome of the conflict and establishes some new equilibrium. The resolution is also referred to as the conclusion or the denouement, the latter a Frenc h word meaning “unknotting” or “untying”. The Ordering of Plot (1) ?The customary way of ordering the episodes or events in a plot is to present them chronologically, i.e., in the order of their occurrence in time.

Had the queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his treasures piled up in the basement, Jim would have pulled out his watch every time he passed, just to see him pluck at his beard from envy.

While the lady of the home is slowly growing quieter, we can look at the home. Furnished rooms at a cost of $8 a week. There is lit-tle more to say about it. In the hall below was a letter-box too small to hold a letter. There was an electric bell, but it could not make a sound. Also there was a name beside the door: “Mr. James Dillingham Young.”

麦琪的礼物英文读后感

The Gift of the Magi It's a short story by O ? Henry that has moved me for a long time. Maybe most of you are familiar with its name：The Gift of the Magi. I have read it many times but every time I like to read it slowly and deliberately. I think "The Gift of the Magi" is meant to be savored. Maybe there is no necessity for me to repeat the main idea of the story. But I'm so fascinated with the short story that I want to retell it to you, and to myself. It happened to a very poor but blissful young couple named Jim and Della in the end of 18th century in England. Because of the maladies of that society and the effect of economic crisis, they worked hard but earned little. Life is very hard for them. Despite of this, their love to each other and the enthusiasm for life didn't changed at all. When Christmas day was approaching , Della used the money she got from selling her beautiful hair which she treasured very much to give Jim a fob for his grandfather's pocket watch. But Jim had already sold that watch to buy Della tortoiseshell combs to wear in her long hair, not knowing she'd cut it off. It appears that the gifts they gave each other have been useless. But I think they gave each other the best of what they had to make the other happy. Isn't that true love? We can image, in such rough conditions, as it said in the story, "Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, sniffles predominating." It is absolutely reasonable for them to be beaten by the misery. But the fact is that no matter how tough life had been, they wouldn't lose heart. With strong faith and their love , they did their best to make the other pleased." Whenever Mr. James came home and reached his flat , above he was called “Jim”and greatly hugged by Mrs. James." Maybe this account is the best description of their love and struggle against hard life. It was said that the poverties life is ,the firmer and truer love is." Actually, they'd given the very best they had out of love. Love has nothing to do with money, possession or status. It's consideration, tolerance and respect. It's giving one's best to the other even it means sacrifice. It's affection which connects two persons' hearts, and it's reinforced by adversities. Nothing did they have, at least they possess love. Never give up as long as love exists. From" The Gift of the Magi", from Jim and Della, I have learned a lot about love, life and hope.
