Old and Medieval English Literature1.How to define the period of Old English Literature?English literature begins with the Anglo-Saxon settlement in England at about 450 and ends at 1066, the year of Norman Conquest of England of Old English literature, a few relics are still preserved. All of them are poems, or songs by the Anglo-Saxon scop or gleeman (minstrels) who sang of the heroic deeds of old time.2.What does Old English Poetry include?Old English poetry includes two groups: the religious group and the secular one. The former is mainly on biblical themes. For example, Genesis A, Genesis B and Exodus are poems based on the Old Testament, while the latter shows the harshness of circumstance and the sadness of the human lot. A typical example is England’s national epic Beowulf.3.What is the plot and theme of England’s national epic Beowulf?Beowulf, nephew of the king of the Geats, hears that Hrothgar, a Danish king, is in great trouble. The kingdom of the king is harassed by a monster called Grendel. He at once sails there, grapples with the monster, and wounds in fatally. Then comes Grendel’s mother, a she-monster, in revenge of her son. Beowulf follows her to her under water cave and kills her with a giant sword. With these honors won, he returns to his homeland and reigns as its king for 50 years. Then a fire-breathing dragon comes out of its den and kills many people. Though old now, Beowulf still kills its single-handedly. But he, too, is fatally wound and later dies. 4.What is epic?Epic is an extended narrative poem in elevated or dignified language, like Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.It usually celebrates the feats of one or more legendary or traditional heroes. The action is simple but full of magnificence. Today, some long narrative works, like novels that reveal an age and its people are also called epic.5.How to define the Medieval Period in English literature?The Medieval period in English literature starts at 1066, the year of Norman Conquest, and ends at about the 15th century. The early part of the period, i.e. from 1066 to the mid-14th century, English literature flourishes with the appearance of writers like Geoffrey Chaucer, William Langland, John Gower, and others.pared with Old English literature, what are the characteristics of Medieval EnglishLiterature?In comparison with Old English literature, Medieval English literature deals with a wider range of subjects. It is uttered by more voices and in greater diversity of styles, tones and genres. And it is deeply influenced by the principles of the medieval Christian doctrine, which are primarily concerned with the issue of personal salvation. Romance become a popular literary form, indicating the age to be a chivalric rather than heroic one.7.What is the miracle play?The miracle play, he medieval dramatization of a Biblical story (e.g., Cain and Abel) or of a sain t’s life, was chiefly popular from the twelfth through the fifteenth centuries. The term is sometimes limited to plays on saint’s lives. The Biblical plays are then called mystery plays.8.Why is Chaucer regarded as ―the Father of English Poetry‖?Originally, Old English poems are mainly alliterative verses with few variations. Chaucer introduced from France the rhymed stanzas of various types to English poetry to replace it. In The Romaunt of the Rose, he first introduced to English the octosyllabic couplet. In TheLegend of Good Women, he used for the first time in English heroic couplet. And in his masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales, he employed heroic couplet with true ease and charm for the first time in the history of English literature.Besides this, though he drew influence from French, Italian and Latin models, he is the first great poet who wrote in the current English language. His production of so much excellent poetry was an important factor in establishing English as the literary language of the country.And he made the dialect of London the foundation for Modern English speech. Small wonder latter day writer, John Drydon would call him ―the Father of the English Poetry‖.9.What is Heroic Couplet?Heroic couplet is rhyming couplet of iambic pentameter, often containing a complete thought.There is a fairly heavy pause a the end of the first line and a still heavier one at the end of the second. Commonly there is a parallel or an antithesis within a line, or between the two lines. It is called heroic because in England, especially in the 18th century, it was much used for heroic (epic) poems.10.What is Chaucer’s literary achievement?(1) First of all, he presented a comprehensive realistic picture of his age and created awhole gallery of vivid characters in his works, especially in The Canterbury Tales.(2) He anticipated a new era, the Renaissance. In his works, the spirit of Renaissance can bealready seen.(3) He developed his characterization to a higher level by presenting characters with bothtypical qualities and individual dispositions.(4) And he greatly contributed to the maturing of English prosody by adopting differentrhyming skills. Drydon called him ―Father of English poetry‖.11.What is popular ballad?Ballad is originally a song intended as the accompaniment to a dance. In the modern sense, a ballad is just a simple spirited poem in short stanzas in which some popular story is graphically narrated. The English popular ballad flourished from the 12th century to the 15th century, reflecting the life of the people then. And the most remarkable ones are the Robin Hood ballads. These are ballads about an outlawed hero who lives in the forest with his men, robs the rich and help the poor. Major collections of these ballads did not begin until the 18th century and the most creditable among them are Thomas Percy’s Relics of Ancient English Poetry, Walter Scott’s Minstrels of the Scottish Border, etc.12.How would you define the term Renaissance?This term refers to a great bourgeois cultural movement in Europe which began in the 14th century and continued to the mid-17th century. It first started from Italy and then spread all over Europe. Originally, the term means ―rebirth‖ or ―revival‖. And the movement seems to be a rebirth or revival of ancient Greek and Roman culture, caused by a series of historical events, such as the new discoveries in geography and astrology, the religious reformation and the economic expansion. The Renaissance, therefore, in essence, is a historical period in which the European humanist thinkers and scholars tried to get rid of those old feudalistic ideas in Medieval Europe, to introduce new ideas that express the interests of the rising bourgeoisie, and to recover the purity of the early church form the corruption of the Roman catholic church.13.How to define the term Humanist?Humanism is a system of beliefs upheld by writers and artists of the Renaissance period in fighting against medieval asceticism. It states that man is godly, that man is able to find truth, goodness and beauty, and that man is in control of the present life rather than being controlled by God. Briefly, humanism puts man at the center of their beliefs and takes man to be the measure of every thing while the former asceticism puts God at the center of their beliefs and takes personal salvation to be the most important thing on the earth for man.14.What are the main characteristics of humanist writings?Humanist writings affirm the value of man and repudiate the absolute control of man by God.They call for man’s freedom in thinking, praise man’s worldly aspirations, and denunciate the feudalistic control of man’s thought. They state that man has a right for earthly happiness and that asceticism is against human nature. In them, reason and science are put into a very high place while mysticism is thrown away. They are mostly realistic in essence.15.What is bland verse?This term, which was first brought into England by Surrey, is used to name the unrhymed iambic pentameter line in poetry.16.What is sonnet?Sonnet is a type of poem consisting of one single fourteen-line stanza. It was perfected by the Italian poet in the 13th century and introduced into England in the early 16th century.English sonnets in terms of structure, largely fall into two classes: the Petarchian or Italian form and the Shakespearian or English form. The form divides its fourteen lines of iambic pentameters into two parts: one octet and one sestet; while the latter consists of three quatrains and a final couplet. The three quatrains develop the poem’s subject consistently and the couplet condenses the emotion into an epigram.17.Why is Edmund Spencer regarded as ―the poet’s poet‖?Edmund Spencer (1552～1599) is the author of Faerie Queene, creator of the Spencerian stanza and one of the greatest figures of the Renaissance period in England. His poetry usually enjoys five qualities : (1) a perfect melody, (2) a rare sense of beauty, (3) a splendid imagination, (4) a lofty moral purity and seriousness; and (5) a dedicated idealism. It is just his idealism, his love of beauty, and his exquisite melody that make him known as “the poet’s poet.18.What is the Spencerian stanza?A Spencerian stanza is one that consists of eight five-foot iambic lines, followed by aniambic line of six feet, rhyming ababbcbcc. It is so named because it was Spencer that first used this form in his masterpiece Faerie Queene.19.What is the dominant theme in Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus?Dr. Faustus is a play based on the German legend of a magician. The hero, Dr. Faustus, aspires for knowledge and in order to get it, sells his soul to the devil. He experiences a lot of strange things and finally meets his tragic end.The play’s dominant moral is human passion for knowledge, power and happiness; it also reveals man’s frustration in realizing the high aspirations in a hostile moral order. And the confinement to time is the cruelest fact of man’s condition.20.What is Marlowe’s literary achievement?Marlowe’s greatest achievement lies in that he perfected the blank verse and made it the principal medium of English. It is Marlowe who brought vitality and grandeur into the blankverse with his ―mighty lines‖, which carry strong emotions.Marlowe’s second achievement is his creation of the Renaissance heroes for the English drama. Both Tumburlaine and Dr. Faustus, characterized by endless aspiration for power, knowledge and glory, are typical in possessing the true Renaissance spirit.Owing to the above, though Marlowe is not strong in dramatic construction, and his women characters are somehow pale, he is still regarded as an eminent pioneer of the English drama.21.Roughly speaking, Shakespeare’s literary career can be divided into four periods. What are thefour periods? And what are the major works in each period?Shakespeare’s dramatic works can be divided into four periods: The first period of Shakespear e’s drama career was one of apprenticeship, characterized by histories, and comedies, including Henry VI, Richard III, The Comedy of Errors, The Two Gentlemen of Eerona, The Taming of the Shrew, and Love’s Labour’s Lost.In the second period, Shakespeare’s style and approach became highly individualized. By constructing a complex pattern between different characters and between appearance and reality, Shakespeare made subtle comments on a variety of human foibles. However, optimism still prevails in most of the works.Shakespeare’s third period includes his greatest tragedies and his so-called dark comedies.His optimism waned in this period and strong touch of pessimism marked most of his works, which revealed the society to be an evil one. The famous four tragedies were all written in this period, which include Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth.The last period of Shakespeare’s work includes his principal romantic tragicomedies.22.What is the theme of The Merchant of Venice?The traditional theme of the play is to praise the friendship between Antonio and Bassanio, to idealize Portia as a heroine of great beauty, wit and loyalty, and to expose the insatiable greed and brutality of the Jew.But modern critics tend to view it from another aspect. Many people today regard the play as a satire of the Christian’s hypocrisy and their false standards of friendship and love, their cunning ways of pursuing worldliness and their unreasoning prejudice against Jews, here represented by Shylock.23.What are the common characteristics shown in the four great tragedies of Shakespeare?Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies are: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. They have some characteristics in common.(1) Each portrays some noble hero, who faces the injustice of human life and is caught in adifficult situation. His fate is closely connected with the fate of the whole nation.(2) Each hero has his weakness of nature. Hamlet, the melancholic scholar-prince, faces thedilemma between action and mind. Othello’s inner weakness is mad use of by the outside evil force. The old King Lear, who is unwilling to totally give up his power, makes himself suffer from treachery and infidelity. And Macbeth’s lust for power stirs up his ambition and leads him to incessant crimes.(3) The whole play is usually centered about the hero. All characters and incidents serve butto set him off.(4) And along with the portrayal of the weakness and bias of the hero, the sharp conflictsbetween the individual and the evil forces in the society is also revealed.24.How to analyze the complicated character of Hamlet?Without a knowledge of his character, Hamlet’s story would hardly be intelligible. Hamlet is neither a frail and weak-minded youth nor a thought-sick dreamer. Though he is deprived of his right to the throne, he is still loved and respected by everyone. Though a scholar, he is also fearless and impetuous in action. We see him rushing after the Ghost, killing Polonious, dealing with Claudious’agents, boarding the pirate, leaping into the grave and at last executing his revenge. A mere scholar can never do such things.Hamlet is humanist, a man who is free from medieval prejudices and superstitions. He has an unbounded love for the world rather for heaven. He cherishes a profound reverence for man and a firm belief in man’s power over destiny. Such a delight in nature and man is characteristic of the humanists of the Renaissance.His intellectual genious is outstanding. He is a close observer of man and manners. His quick perception drives him to penetrate below the surface of things and question what others take for granted. So he is forever unmasking his world.From these we may know that Hamlet is not a mere scholar, simply meditative by nature.On the country, Hamlet is a man of genius, highly complicated and educated, a man of profound perception and sparkling wit. He is a scholar, soldier, and statesman all combined.His image reflects the versatility of the men of the Renaissance.And it is just because he is blessed with such a profound perception that he, through his personal wrongs, perceives something rotten in the state affairs and his sense of personal wrongs grows to a disgust for world in which such crimes prevail. He seems to understand that his mere revenge upon his uncle would in on way solve the problems that trouble and upset him. This, and this only, is the cause of his profound melancholy and his delay in action.So Hamlet’s melancholy expresses, in a way, the crisis of humanism at the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century.25.Why is it said that Shakespeare’s heroines are ―the daughters of the Renaissance‖?In Shakespeare’s plays, he shows an equalitarian attitude toward women. His heroines no longer cling about the neck of a father or a husband, unable to defend themselves. Instead, they are of a new type. They are witty, bold, loving, optimistic and faithful. They are happy and make the others happy. They carry their destinies with them and in speaking and thinking as well as in feeling are men’s equals or even superiors. Though there are moments of weariness and frailty, their courage never fails them in times of danger. And with every pang of affection and anxiety they only grow stronger and more capable of coping with the situation. In the ideal women of his plays, the heart and head sway away equal. This is best exemplified in the character of Portia, heroine of The Merchant of Venice. She is beautiful, prudent, resourceful and witty. She chooses her own husband and is capable of rising to an emergency. She is independent in character and takes her own path of life. In a word, Shakespeare’s heroines are the masters of their own fates and in them, the influence of the Renaissance can also be seen. Some people even call them ―daughters of the Renaissance‖.Their splendor is unprecedented in the English history and it is not until the modern age that women characters again obtain equal position with men.26.What is Shakespeare’s literary achievement?(1) Shakespeare is one of the founders of realism in world literature.(2) Shakespeare is amazingly prolific. Within 22 years, he produced 37 plays, 154 sonnets,and 2 long poems.(3) Shakespeare was skilled in may poetic forms, the song, the sonnet, the couplet, and thedramatic blank verse.(4)Shakespeare has been universally acknowledged to be the summit of the EnglishRenaissance, and one of the greatest writers the world over.27.Who is Bacon and what are the three classes of his works?Francis Bacon (1561～1626), a representative of the English Renaissance, is a well-known philosopher, scientist, and essayist. He lays the foundation for modern science with his insistence on scientific way of thinking, and fresh observation rather than authority as a basis for obtaining knowledge. His Essays is the first example of that genre in English literature, which has been recognized as an important landmark in the development of the English prose.And some phrases have even entered the English literary tradition.His works can be divided into three groups. The most important works of his first group, the philosophical ones, include The Advancement of Learning(1605), written in English;Novum Organum (1620), an enlarged Latin version of the Advancement of Learning, etc. his literary works are in the second group, among which the most famous is his Essays. And the third group is his professional works, including mainly Maxims of Law and The Learned Reading Upon the Statue of Uses.28.What is the characteristics of Bacon’s Essays?Bacon’s essays are famous for their brevity, compactness and powerfulness. The neatness, preciseness, the gravity, and the weightiness are the essential qualities of his writings.The theme of the essays vary, including his personal opinions on friendship, love, old age, beauty, public performance, etc. the essays are well arranged and enriched by Biblical allusions, metaphors and cadence. So the reasoning is very persuasive.29.How would you define ―Metaphysical Poetry‖?‖Metaphysical Poetry‖ is commonly used to name the works of the 17th century poets who wrote under the influence of John Donne (1575～1631), leader of the school, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, and Henry Vaughan. With a rebellious spirit, the metaphysical poets tried to break away from the conventional fashion of Elizabethan love poetry. The diction is simple as compared with that of the Elizabethan or the Neoclassic periods, and echoes the words and cadences of common speech. The imagery is drawn from actual life. The form is frequently that of an argument with the poet’s beloved with God, or with himself.30.What is the social and background of John Milton’s writings?Milton lives in the 17th century, a century of revolution and restoration in the English history.During the Tudor dynasty (1485～1603), the crown seemed to be able to win the support of the English bourgeoisie. But at the end of Elizabethan’s reign, clashes between the two appeared and under Charles I, the situation became worse as he insisted upon absolute monarch and paid no attention to the people’s cries. A civil war broke out in the 1642 and lasted till 1649. the revolutionary camp won and England became a Republic. Later, the revolutionaries split up and Cromwell, leader of the big bourgeoisie, put down the middle bourgeoisie and declared dictatorship. After his death, parliament recalled Charles II to England in 1660. the Restoration ushered in a period of white terror to the country. Many Republicans were killed. Then, afraid of another revolution, the big bourgeoisie, expelled Charles II and invited William, Prince of Orange, from Holland, to be king of England in1688. this was called ―Glorious Revolution‖, glorious because it was bloodless and there was no revival of the revolutionary demands.31.Who is Milton? What are his major works? And what is the social significance of his writings?John Milton, the greatest 17th century English poet and writer of political pamphlets, serves as the representative writer of the English revolutionary camp. During the Revolution, he used hi pen as the weapon in fighting against the king and the Catholic Church. His representative works in this period are Defense of the English People (1650), Second Defense of the English People (1652), and Areopagitica (1644)。

One of these characteristics is that the feeling cannot be brought on by appearances, and must gradually develop between the two people as they get to know one another.

Veginia Woolf

Writing Career
The writing career of Virginia Woolf is closely related to two men.One is her father,the other is her husband. Her father was Leslie Stephen,the late Victorian critic,philosopher,biographer,and scholar.Moving among writers and artists, her world was from the very beginning the cultured one. Her Fabian writer husband Leonard Woolf,who was her brother’s classmates at Cambridge University, encouraged her to write novels. In her book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), she writes, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
The Last Note of Virginia Woolf
“I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier 'til this terrible disease came. I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that — everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been”. From Women of Letters:A Life of Virginia Woolf by Rose Phyllis.

初中英语星级训练完形填空+首字母六年级

初中英语星级训练完形填空+首字母六年级全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Last year, when I was in sixth grade, my English teacher introduced us to this new exercise called "First Letter Six Years." At first, I didn't really understand what it was or why we were doing it. But as we kept practicing it throughout the year, I realized how helpful it was for improving my vocabulary and reading comprehension skills.The way "First Letter Six Years" works is that the teacher gives us a list of words, and we have to come up with vocabulary words that start with each of those letters. For example, if the list was A, B, C, we might say "Aardvark, Bouncy, Caterpillar." It's a lot trickier than it sounds, especially when you get to the more obscure letters like X or Z.At the beginning, a lot of us struggled. We'd spend forever racking our brains trying to think of words for Q or U. Sometimes we'd end up using really outlandish words that nobody actually uses in real life, like "Quinoa" or "Uxorious." Our teacher let us work together though, which helped a ton.The kids who werestrong in English would share weird words they knew with the rest of us.As the year went on and we kept doing "First Letter Six Years" over and over, something crazy happened - our vocabularies actually expanded! All those wacky words started sticking in our brains. We got faster at recalling interesting vocabulary on the spot. When we'd read stories or articles in class, more and more of us would recognize definitions without having to ask.By the time we finished sixth grade, "First Letter Six Years" had become like a fun vocabulary game that we all looked forward to. Our teacher promised that the exercise would help prepare us for the kinds of cloze passages and other reading comprehension challenges we'd face in middle school English. None of us really believed her at the time, but boy was she right!Now that I'm in seventh grade, cloze passages and other "fill in the blank" exercises are a huge part of our English curriculum.A "cloze passage" is just a page-long story or article with certain words removed. You have to use context clues and vocabulary knowledge to figure out which words go in the blanks.At first, these cloze worksheets seemed impossible. There would be 20 or 30 blanks per passage, and I'd stare blankly atthem, unable to make sense of the context. My mind would go blank whenever I tried to summon vocabulary words that could potentially fit. It was like all the words I knew had been wiped from my memory.That's when I remembered "First Letter Six Years" and the training it had given my brain to quickly retrieve vocabulary from the crevices of my mind. Suddenly, those cloze exercises started clicking into place. I'd read the sentence fragment before the blank, think of the first letter that the missing word started with, and bam - obscure words would miraculously pop into my head!"Oh, this blank needs a word that starts with Q for being stingy...Quibbling! It must be 'quibbling' based on the context!" My mind would make these lightning-fast connections, all thanks to the mental muscles I'd developed from a year of "First Letter Six Years."Not only has this made me way better at cloze passages, but it's helped with other reading comprehension challenges too. Whenever I come across a vocabulary word I don't recognize while reading, I can break it down by looking at context and roots/prefixes/suffixes. Just knowing a word starts with a Q or Z automatically unlocks potential definitions in my head.My strong vocabulary has even helped on writing assignments. I'm able to sprinkle in much more interesting and nuanced word choices, like "quintessential" or "zephyr" or "xylocarp." My teacher always leaves nice comments about my "excellent diction" on essays.Of course, vocabulary and reading comp isn't everything when it comes to English class. We've also covered a ton of grammar concepts, from participle phrases to subjunctive moods. And we've analyzed literature too, exploring themes and motifs in short stories and novels. But I'd argue that vocabulary knowledge is the foundation for performing well in all those other areas.After all, how can you dissect an author's writing style if you don't understand the meaning of the words they use? How can you properly demonstrate your understanding of grammatical structures if you don't have a robust lexicon to pull from? Vocabulary is key for any part of English, which is why I'm so grateful my sixth grade teacher made us do "First Letter Six Years."What started as a silly warm-up activity ended up giving me invaluable skills and knowledge that I've been able to apply throughout my English studies in middle school. And I know"First Letter Six Years," combined with all the cloze passage work we're doing, is just setting me up for more success as my English education continues.By the time I get to high school, I'll basically be a walking thesaurus! Okay, maybe not quite. But you get what I mean. My point is, as tedious and pointless as certain exercises may seem, they could actually be secretly sharpening your skills in incredibly helpful ways. So keep practicing, keep studying, and keep absorbing new words like a sponge. It'll all pay off bigtime in the long run!篇2Title: My English Cloze Passage & Word GamesHey friends! It's time for another round of English practice. I know, I know...you're probably thinking "Ugh, why do we have to keep doing this stuff?" But trust me, it really helps get our English skills stronger for those big tests coming up.First up, we've got a cloze passage to try.

英文小说奇幻电影推荐作文

英文小说奇幻电影推荐作文英文：Fantasy movies have always been one of my favorite genres, especially those adapted from English novels. Today, I would like to recommend two amazing movies that I believe are worth watching.The first one is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," which is based on the novel of the same name by J.K. Rowling. This movie tells the story of a young wizard named Harry Potter who discovers his magical heritage and attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I wasfascinated by the magical world that the movie created, and the characters were so well-developed that I felt like I knew them personally. The movie has a perfect blend of humor, adventure, and drama, making it enjoyable for people of all ages.The second movie I want to recommend is "The Chroniclesof Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," based on the novel by C.S. Lewis. This movie is about four siblings who enter a magical world called Narnia and help the lion Aslan defeat the evil White Witch. The movie has breathtaking visuals and a captivating storyline that kept me engaged from start to finish. I loved the characters and the moral lessons that the movie conveyed.Both of these movies are excellent examples of how fantasy can be used to create engaging and inspiring stories. They are perfect for anyone who loves adventure, magic, and a good dose of imagination.中文：奇幻电影一直是我最喜欢的电影类型之一，特别是那些改编自英国小说的电影。

The famous publishers will begin to understand the originality and excellence of your work through these hundreds of words and produce the original publishing impulse. You're lucky to get the chance to publish. When you finally make a book, part of what you write may be printed on the cover or back cover, so that your readers can see it and stir up their reading impulse. Some readers after reading, excited, recommend this book to his best friend. A few sentences in the hundreds of words you write may become the core of what he says to a friend. In my view, as long as the full understanding of the importance of the outline of the story, a capable to control the text, talented, tell a good story of the author, can write excellent story outline. Never expect an editor to read the whole manuscript without knowing the gist of the story. If there is no story, I will be required to provide contributors.If the contributor can provide novel "aspect introduction", it will be better. The gist of the story is to achieve the following goals:(1) explain the names, gender, identity, age, appearance, personality and temperament of the main characters (which can be adjusted according to actual needs).(2) tell the hero to do what things (fortune, promotion, revenge, hegemony, marriage etc.).(3) make clear the significance and difficulties of the protagonist in doing it. For example: male No. 1 will win the title of "campus singer contest" to get the love of campus beauty. The difficulty is, I also campus Belle competition, not only super strength, super strong and win the heart, beat her hatred of any person.(4) explain the result of the event. The result is one of the main concerns of the reader. "Cop-out" this idiom, estimates that the world there is such a thing. According to reading experience, the results of many novels are very disappointing.(5) a novel conveys some emotion through a story. There are so many kinds of feelings, and the stories are ever-changing. The experienced editor naturally sees the emotion that it conveys to the reader from the story. Of course, if you really have a fresh and profound understanding, it's good to write a few words here that can be used as aphorisms.But this is the "flower" of the icing on the cake; what the editor wants to see is still "Brocade"". A write relatively simple story examples of the title: "the godfather". Author: Mario Puzo after the end of World War II, several large family Mafia in the United States to start a new competition. Vito Corleone. Known as the "Godfather", is one of the largest Mafia leader.His son Michael is the outstanding graduates, Ivy League Heroes have been unwilling to participate in family affairs. His father was seriously injured after the eldest brother Sonny family affairs agency.

He went to Italy to escape his follow-up to Sicily, here, killed his wife. The elder brother of Sonny presided over the family affairs has also been designed to kill enemies. The old Godfather recovered, followed by his rivals for negotiation, and after a year's escape, Michael returned to the United states. Old Michael after the death of the godfather, clear mole, revenge. After the success, is regarded as a new "godfather".Time: World War II just ended, 1946. Location: USA, Italy. Characters: old godfather, Michael.Features: old godfather, wily; Michael, confessed to the mafia boss from the elite candidates.Main events: revenge, hegemony. Difficulties: his sinister means. Meaning: save yourself, destroy your opponent. Result: Michael became the new godfather.The first aspect: the underworld insider who was exposed in the novel for the first time.The second aspect: the old Godfather described the so-called "life wisdom" in the novel".Comment: this sketch is very simple, clear clues, clear points.A write more gorgeous story examples of the title: "sweet cold" Author: fwsc a tear sparkling seal, a long time with gold paper, the two section will never change until death grief at separation and joy in Union. Deep love man, holding the beautiful bride is her sister. Originally thought,Xinrusihui, can let her relatives and lover for a blood feud to the enemy. However, the man who broke into a beautiful monster is the antidote to her salvation or the poison of love?

However, she is just ten feet red in the laity, forget the past, will not jump out of love and hate, greed and hatred. And he, Satan's love will be blessed?
