the Reports of English

I. Introduction

Reading makes a full man conference a ready man and writing an exact man. We got a lot of fun from reading. Reading could not only eich our minds but also entertain the souls.

In the short term, by reading the short stories of the famous worldwide writers like Ernest Hemingway, Edgar, Allan Poe, Mark twain, I got a better understanding about them.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/c319042411.html,ments on the Stories

Simple words and common stories feature largely in the novels of Ernest Hemingway. But it is not difficult to find that, only by pondering could we uncover the truth hidden by the appearance of the brief words. For example, A Clean Well -Lighted Place, in this story there are no complicated words, no magnificent sentences and even no attracting plots. But it was the simple story reveals the nada of life. An old man, who wants to drive away the loneliness, always drinks in the bar. Two waiters, one is young and newly married, hurried to go home every night. The other one, who is older, along could feel sympathy and understand the old man. The depressing and gloomy setting, the vivid characters and the arrangement of the plot even the refined words make the theme clearly .People would like to get rid of the nada of life. They need communication, they want understanding and they hate loneliness.

While Edgar Allan Poe who was well known for his short stories, wrote about seventy stories which fall into two categories: those of mystery and horror; and those of ratiocination, which might be said to have set the standard for the modern detective stories. The Tell Tale Heart, one

of Edgar Allan Poe?s most famous short stories, is a psychological portrait of a mad narrator who kills a man and aferterward hears his victim?s relentless heartbeat.

At the very beginning, the plot of the story: “True! Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and I am.” Attracts the reader?s heart and fixes our eyes on the next plots. The narrator told us such a story that is how a guy planned and killed an old man but finally ,he was defeated by himself .In the whole story, a large number of psychological description created a terroristic atmosphere .The weird and exciting content shocked us again but the beautiful words feast our eyes.

However Mark Twain is an outstanding humorist and satirist. H wrote many volumes during his long life time .In his later years ,he began to focus on human greed ,cruelty and questioned the humanity of the human race ,one of his most famous stories “Is He Living or Dead?? include several obvious themes .First , the riches are cold and detached and crazy about the luxury. Second, the relationship between the sacrifice and rewards. Third, the great importance of the medium?s function. The whole passage developed around the three themes which acted the important clues. Finally, it reflected Mark Twain?s humorous and ironic writing style. Young Goodman Brown was written by Nathaniel Hawthorne who was an American novelist and short story writer in the 19th century, born in Salem, Massachusetts as Nathaniel Hawthorne He was greatly influenced by Puritanism, Transcendentalism and Mysticism, which can be traced in his works. Much of Hawthorne?s writing centers on New England and many feature moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic Movement. His themes often centers on the inherent evil and sin of humanity and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.

The narrator illustrated the story though Brown?s travel in the dark

forest. He adopted the expressing way of symbolism to show his ideas, For example, the themes, characters and the setting. The story happened on one night .Faith was scared of nights: please put off your journey until suise and sleep in your own bed tonight ,a love woman is troubled with such dreams and such thoughts that she?s afraid of herself sometimes. Pray tarry with me this night, dear, husband, of all nights in the year. But Brown replied,?? of all nights in the year ,this one night must I tatty away from you ,my journey, as you called it forth and back again ,must need be done between now and suise .the dark nights made Brown tarry away with faith and believing . In the literary works, the dark nights were always connected to guilty, mystery, hell and so on .The Christians chose days to go to the churches and expressed their wills to kindness. Well how was the travel in the evening? Brown? purposes of the dark night?s travel were not clear at first. But with the appearance of the guide and his unveiled identity, he found it was a ?evil? discover of his ancestors and so called the loyal Christians. The ?evils? conflicts with the ?kindness?. So he could only proceed in the dark nights. In fact, plenty of words used to describe the ?black? also created a kind of gloomy atmosphere for his lost hopes life. So many years passed but millions of readers appreciate his works all the time.

OscaWilde(1854~1900)was an Irish essayist ,playwright ,novelist ,fairytale ,writer and poet .Known for his biting wit ,he became one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian and one of the greatest celebrities of his day . In 1888, he published “The Happy Prince and other tales, fairy-stories written for his two sons .It is most famous for the Happy Prince, the short tale of a metal statue who becomes friends with a migratory bird together then bring some happiness to others in life and in death.

After reading the story, I was shocked by the small swallow and the

prince, because of selfless and sacrifice .And they are worth of respectation .In our real life, Leifeng, a model for the people of our party and the people?s army is an outstanding one, he lines to serve the people as the greatest happiness.

The next story I read was Eve line, written by James Joyce .He is an Irish novelist, noted for his experimental use of language in such works as Finnegan?s Wake (1939) .Eve line is taken from his works Dubliners, written in 1905.The theme of this collection is the numb situation of Dubliners .The heroine of this novel is Eve line, who leads such kind of numb living. She works in a shop and almost everyone can order her to do things, at home she lives together with her ill-tempered father, however she has no courage to go away with her lover to have a new life.

In this story, the themes shows that Old orders of life, the desire for dreams must

be destroyed by the cruel reality, if the Irish wants spiritual emancipation, they must deny the degenerate traditions completely. It also worked as a warning .And in Joyce?s technical innovations in the art of the novel include an extensive use of interior monologue; he used a complex network of symbolic parallels drawn from the mythology, history, and literature and created a unique language of invented words, puns and allusions.

The final story I read was Alice Walker?s ?Every day use for your grandmamma? Alice Walker is one of the most remarkable and influential Afro go-American writers in contemporary American literary world .She is one of the majority of critics .As a black woman ,writer ,her background provides the sources of her work ,especially work describing colored people?s life .

The modern classic ?Every day use for your grandmamma? tells the story of a mother and her two daughters?complexing ideas about their identities

and ancestry .the mother narrates the story of the day one daughter,Dee,visites from college and clashes with the other daughter ,Maggie ,over the possession of the some heirloom quilts . The quilts in the story are symbolized as the African American culture heritages .By presenting the two daughters? means of treating the quilts in the story .Walker reveals different attitudes on these heritages, which to some extend were confused by black people in America. T he theme of the story spoke highly of the loyalty of protecting mother and Maggie?s own identity and cultural tradition ,but condemn Dee, a traitor of his people?s belief . Meanwhile the author came forward the idea that the culture of the black and white should be treated equally and the two need to be merged, and then contribute greatly to the civilization. III.Conclusion

At last , after reading the seven short stories, it made me believe I got a travel for centuries, I can truly touched the hearts of the famous writers, and enjoy the charm of the literature. Reading could broaden one?s eyes and mode a person?s temperate, I would be enthusiastic about literature in my further study.

Love——The Most Precious Thing

My Impression of The Gift of the Magi

The Gift of the Magi is a short story wrote by O.Hey. This story tells that in the day before Christmas, a poor young couple exchanged gifts by sold the most precious thing of each, but resulted or detracted, the two

precious gifts all became useless things. While they got the most precious thing than any material objects——love.

After read this story, I learned how to respect others’ love and how to love others. In this story, they all lost the most valuable things——Jim’s golden watch and Della’s beautiful hair. Behind this, I saw they loved each other infinitely. They loved their family, they let me feel that cold Christmas Eve has become the warm heaven just because of their gifts. If Della only took one dollar and eighty-seven cents to pick gift, this story will probably lacking of shocking, and also cannot cause readers’ thinking.

In this materialistic society, people often use money to measure gifts. When bags of gifts which are packaged delicately in front of us, what can we see except empty and blank? Parents feel happy because of our simple greeting cards in their birthday, because of a few words of blessing. These gifts, simple but true. It can’t be compared with those

which built with a lot of money, outlined by luxuriance. What clever gifts! In some sense, they are invaluable.

Yes, in this materialistic society, some people think money is

everything, the one who owns money, who owns all. No wonder a great amount of girls became mammonists, and want to marry the richer, no wonder more and more men think that there is no true love, what girls love is their money. But I always believe sincere love is existed and it’s priceless. Even if you have millions of money, you can’t change it into true love. Maybe money can let you get some feelings from girls, but those are hypocritical. When you no longer possess vast wealth, the hypocritical feelings will ended and left you extremely painful finally. Jim and Della were a happy couple, although they were poor, living in short of money. In their hearts, money is not important, the important thing is the affection from each other. As long as they have it, they felt happier than

any millionaire.

Maybe some people will pour scorn on it and cannot understand what their done. If there is a good fortune and a sincere feeling in front of you at the same time, which one will you choose? I wouldn’t hesitate to choose the later, because sincere feeling is priceless! I believe that true

pay will have sincere return finally, and the one who have true love can have his or her happiness.

Nowadays, more and more people have been pressed to lose their breath by the reality. They forgot the persons they love, and the persons who love them. We need to care about others, no matter how much

money we have. What our loved one need is how our concern about him or her. In some important days, don’t forget to bring him or her some gifts. No matter what is it, how valuable is it, he or she would like it anyway. Because it is the gift of the Magi.
