【讀書筆記】E.B.懷特 - 《夏洛的網(wǎng)》17
內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介:
《夏洛的網(wǎng)》是美國(guó)作家E.B.懷特所著的三部被譽(yù)為“二十世紀(jì)讀者最多、最受愛戴的童話”之一。
在朱克曼家的谷倉里,快樂地生活著一群動(dòng)物,其中小豬威爾伯和蜘蛛夏洛建立了最真摯的友誼。然而,一個(gè)最丑惡的消息打破了谷倉的平靜:威爾伯未來的命運(yùn)競(jìng)?是成為熏肉火腿。作為一只小豬,悲痛絕望的威爾伯似乎只能接受任人宰割的命運(yùn)了,然而,看似渺小的夏洛卻說:“我救你。”于是,夏洛用自己的絲在豬欄上織?出了被人類視為奇跡的網(wǎng)上文字,徹底逆轉(zhuǎn)了威爾伯的命運(yùn),終于讓它在集市的大賽中贏得特別獎(jiǎng),和一個(gè)安享天命的未來。但,這時(shí),蜘蛛夏洛的生命卻走到了盡?頭……
作者簡(jiǎn)介:
E.B.懷特(1899-1985)生于紐約蒙特弗農(nóng),畢業(yè)于康奈爾大學(xué)。也許你對(duì)美國(guó)作家E.B.?懷特(E.B.White)感到陌生,也許你對(duì)《Charlotte's?Web》(《夏洛的網(wǎng)》)不是很熟悉,但是一提起一部電影《精靈鼠小弟》,你馬上就知道了,這部電影就是根據(jù)E.B.?懷特(E.B.White)的書改編拍攝的。他還有一部童話叫《吹小號(hào)的天鵝》

【段落點(diǎn)評(píng)】
這里選擇的不是一般的描寫性段落,而是一段人物對(duì)話。說是對(duì)話,但是我們看到的是父母絮絮叨叨的叮嚀囑咐。回想一下你要離家之前,你的父母是不是也是這樣千叮嚀萬囑咐,生怕什么東西忘了,你在外面不安全呢?語言方面,幾乎都是同樣句式的命令式句子,一個(gè)是口語化,另一方面更凸顯了一對(duì)平凡普通的父母形象。人物的語言通常是最能代表一個(gè)人身份的,演員的語言通??鋸?,官員的不偏不倚的官腔,孩子的童真戲語都是他們身份的代表。作者顯然對(duì)這一表現(xiàn)手法非常的老道,信手拈來的絮叨對(duì)話給人一種親切感。
