组织行为学的研究方法

组织行为学的研究方法研究目的研究术语评价研究研究设计研究中的道德小结对于每一个复杂的问题，都有一个简单的、精巧的、错误的解决方案。

——H．L．门肯(H．L．Mencken) 几年前，我的一位朋友声称他看到一项研究结果，终于知道了如何才能爬到一家大公司的最高层的奥秘，为此他欣喜若狂。

虽然我很怀疑对这样一个问题是否有一个简单的答案，但为了不打击他的热情，我还是向他请教了那项研究结果。

你猜他说什么？我的朋友告诉我说：那就是参加大学运动会！当时我的反应用诧异这个词是绝不足以形容的，于是我向他详细请教。

此项研究对象包括全美500家大公司1700名成功的高级管理人员，研究者发现，其中半数的人参加过校际水平的大学运动会。

［1］我这位擅长统计的朋友告诉我，既然在所有大学生中仅有不足2%的人参加过校际运动会，那么，此项研究结论纯属偶然发生的事件的概率不到千万分之一。

总结完他的分析后他对我说，根据这项研究，我应该鼓励管理专业的学生们组建一支学校运动队。

当我暗示他这个结论可能靠不住时，我的朋友多少有点局促不安。

接受调查的经营人员都是男性，他们是20世纪40年代和50年代的大学生，那么，这项研究结果同样适用于21世纪的女大学生吗？并且，这些高管人员并不是典型的大学生。

他们当中的大部分都就读于普林斯顿、马萨诸塞等著名私立大学，这些大学参加校际间运动会的学生占相当大的比例，而这些学校的学生并没有怎么碰过足球或篮球，他们参加的是诸如高尔夫球、网球、棒球、越野长跑、划艇、橄榄球之类的小项运动。

而且，研究人员也有可能混淆了因果关系的方向，即或许是那些具有内在动机和相当能力升到大公司最高职位上的个体偏爱于学生运动会这样的竞技活动。

经我这么一说，我这位朋友倒真是因为误用研究数据而感到有些不好意思。

当然，这样的人远远不止他一个。

我们总是被各种各样的报告所包围，诸如老鼠体内某些物质与癌症有关的实验报告，以及大学生对于性的态度发生变化的调查等等。

柯林·莫尔好莱坞默片中灰姑娘的喜剧性展演

①　ｆｌａｐｐｅｒｇｉｒｌ这一词语最早见于英国，是雏妓的代称。

１９１０年代之前，该词逐渐成为即将进入青春期，身体性征发育尚不明显的少女的代名词；１９１０年代之后，ｆｌａｐｐｅｒｇｉｒｌ与ｔｏｍｂｏｙ一起用来形容那些身材平板，接受过一定教育，喜爱运动的女性。

在１９２０年美国作家菲茨杰拉德（Ｆ．Ｓ．Ｆｉｔｚｇｅｒａｌｄ）的小说集《飞来波女郎与哲学家》（ＦｌａｐｐｅｒｓａｎｄＰｈｉｌｏｓｏｐｈｅｒｓ）出版之后，ｆｌａｐｐｅｒｇｉｒｌ基本成为了２０世纪２０年代美国年轻女性的代名词。

关于ｆｌａｐｐｅｒｇｉｒｌ具体的演变参见ＬＩＮＤＡＳ．Ｌｏｓｔｇｉｒｌｓ：ｔｈｅｉｎｖｅｎｔｉｏｎｏｆｔｈｅｆｌａｐｐｅｒ（Ｌｏｎｄｏｎ：ＲｅａｋｔｉｏｎｂｏｏｋｓＬｔｄ，２０１７）．②　爵士乐时代是美国作家菲茨杰拉德在其文章《爵士乐时代的回声》（ＥｃｈｏｅｓｏｆｔｈｅＪａｚｚＡｇｅ）中对美国自１９１９年到１９２９年这一黄金年代的命名，他认为“那是奇迹频生的年代，那是艺术的年代，那是挥霍无度的年代，那是嘲讽的年代”。

更重要的是，他直接将飞来波女郎视为这个时代的代表。

详见菲茨杰拉德：《崩溃》，黄昱宁、包慧怡译，上海译文出版社，２０１１年，第２１－３５页。

③　关于ｆｌａｐｐｅｒｇｉｒｌ名称翻译的思考源自２０１７年在上海召开的“默片中的女性”会议的讨论，特此对参与讨论者表示感谢。

柯林·莫尔：好莱坞默片中灰姑娘的喜剧性展演李莹莹（贵州财经大学文学院，贵州贵阳　５５００２５）摘　要：柯林·莫尔是２０世纪２０年代好莱坞电影中“飞来波女郎”（ｆｌａｐｐｅｒｇｉｒｌ）的典型代表，相较于克拉拉·鲍和露易丝·布鲁克斯的性感形象，柯林·莫尔扮演的多为保守的“飞来波女郎”，《艾拉·辛迪思》中的辛迪思就是其中的典型代表。

The Oxford Companion to American LiteratureⅡ .Questions on content:1. What activity is the writer referring to in his phrase ‘its most lucrative and characteristic activity’? (para 1)2.

Why does Mencken use the uncommon word libido in his title?2. How is para 1 developed? What effect does the powerful contrast in the last two sentences of para 1 have on the reader?3. Why does Mencken refer to other towns and villages in America (para 5), to the villages of Europe (para 6) and to the Parthenon (para 8)?4. Besides attacking the ugliness of Westmoreland, what else does Mencken attack in this essay?5. Is the satirical power of Mencken’s attack simply a result of his choice of words, of his diction? Is his scathing tone also achieved through structure and image? Cite examples.6. Are all the similes, metaphors and hyperboles used appropriately and effectively in this essay?7. Does Mencken achieve or defeat his own purpose by using so many striking metaphors and hyperboles?IV. Paraphrase:1. boy and man, I had been through it often before (para 1)2. But somehow I had never quite sensed its appalling desolation.(para 1)3. it reduced the whole aspiration of man to a macabre and depressing joke (para 1 )4. The country itself is not uncomely, despite the grime of the endless mills. (para 3)5. They have taken as their model a brick set on end. (para 3)6.

What I allude to is the unbroken and agonizing ugliness ( )4. there was not one in sight from the train that did not insult and lacerate the eye ( )5.

I award this championship only after laborious research and incessant prayer. ( )9. It is as if some titanic and aberrant genius, uncompromisingly inimical to man, had devoted all the ingenuity of Hell to the making of them. ( )10 Are they so frightful because the valley is full of foreigners--dull, insensate brutes, with no love of beauty in them? ( )11. Then why didn’t these foreigners set up similar abominations in the countries that they came from? ( )12. It is impossible to put down the wallpaper that defaces the average American home of the lower middle class to mere inadvertence, or to the obscene humor of the manufacturers. ( ) ( )13.Certainly there was no pressure upon the Veterans of Foreign Wars to choose the dreadful edifice that bears their banner ( )14.The etiology of this madness deserves a great deal more study than it has got.

This essay abounds in hyperboles. Comment on the effectiveness of some of themXV. The tone of the essay is extremely sarcastic. Try to point out the places where sarcasm, ridicule or irony is employed.XVI. Read the following paragraphs and prepare to discuss: 1 ) What is the topic sentence of the paragraph? 2) In what pattern are the specific details arranged?1. The “Band Wagon”is a device to make us follow the crowd, to accept the propagandist’s program en masse. Here his theme is”“Everybody’s doing it. “ His techniques range from those of the medicine show to dramatic spectacle. He hires a hall, fills a great stadium, marches a million men in parade. He employs symbols, colors, music, movement, all the dramatic arts. He appeals to the desire, common to most of us, to “follow the crowd.”Because he wants us to “follow the crowd”in masses, he directs his appeal to groups held together by common ties of nationality,religion, race, environment, sex, vocation. Thus progagandists campaigning for or against a program will appeal to us as Catholics, Protestants, or Jews; as members of the Nordic race or as Negroes; as farmers or as school teachers; as housewives or as miners. All the artifices of flattery are used to harness the fears and hatreds, prejudices and biases, convictions and ideals common to the group; thus emotion is made to push and pull the group on to the Band Wagon. In newspaper article and in the spoken word this device is also found. “Don’t throw your vote away. V ote for our candidate. He’s sure to win.” Nearly every candidate wins in every election--be- fore the votes are in.2. If you pick twenty adults at random, the odds are that fifteen of them drink moderately, two are problem drinkers and one is a desperate alcoholic. Two who use alcohol are also using marijuana, a couple are taking tranquilizers on doctors’orders and one or two have been popping barbiturates to relieve insomnia and are perilously close to addiction. Three or four have taken amphetamines to stay awake or to lose weight and nearly all of them drink caffeine, another stimulant. Ten or twelve of this group of twenty continue to smoke tobacco even after the medical hazards of that habit have been amply documented. One has probably taken acid or mescaline. The children of some have sniffed glue or carbon tet for kicks (thereby risking brain and liver damage), more smoke pot and some have had an LSD trip. The drug culture, as the newspapers call it, doesn’t just belong to the kids; everyone’s in it together.ⅩⅦ. Topics for oral work:1. Discuss Mencken’s style--its strong points, its weakpoints.2. Comment on Mencken’s statement: “Out of the melting pot emerges a racewhich hates beauty as it hates truth. “ⅩⅦ. Write a satirical attack on ugliness, describing:1. women’s (or men’s) clothing styles2. any city or village________________________________________习题全解I.Henry Louis Mencken (1880--1956) was the first American to be widely read as a critic. He was born in Baltimore, Md. , on Sept. 12, 1880, and privately educated there. After graduating from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute at the age of 16, he became a reporter on the Baltimore Herald. He rose repidly, soon he was the Herald’s city editor and then edi tor. In 1906 Mencken joined the organization known as the Sunpaper, which he served in a variety of ways until his re- tirement. Mencken’s journalistic skill became his chief hand- icap as a critic. He had also carried out a fruitful study of the American Language, with some comprehensive works pub- lished in this field. By the time of his death on Jan. 29, 1956, in his beloved Baltimore, recognition of his service to the language was everywhere admitted.1. The writer is referring to industrial production which is the most lucrative and characteristic activity in the United States.2. All the noble aspirations of a man for a better, fuller and more beautiful life here on earth.3. All the houses were ugly. The houses look like bricks set on end. They were made of clapboards, with narrow, low- pitched roofs. And the whole house is set upon thin brick piers. All the houses are streaked with grime and many of them are noteven perpendicular but they lean this way and that. The writer suggests a chalet-type house for the hill sides. A chalet with high-pitched roof, to throw off theheavy winter snows, but still essentially a low and clinging building, wider than it was tall.4, According to the writer, the house has the most loathsome color. The color of a fried egg when and after some time they take on the color of uremic yellow.5. Strictly speaking, no. Most of them were most probably U.S. citizens of European origin, with perhaps a few re- cent immigrants from Europe.6. Mencken doesnI t believe that mere ignorance was the rea son for such ugliness. He believes on certain levels of the American race, there seems to be a great passion for the ugly. Ugliness seems to give some sort of satisfaction to this type of mind. Mencken, however, doesnf t understand they have such tastes.7. No. he is only implying in a sarcastic tone, that he does- n~t understand why so many Americans seem to love ugli ness for its own sake. He doesn~ t understand the psycholo gy of these people who lust to make the world intolerable. He thinks these people have a diseased mind.1. Mencken deliberately uses the word “libido”, a specialterm in psychoanalysis, in his title to create the impres sion that his description and analysis has some scientific foundation.2. Paragraph 1 is developed by contrasting the great wealth of this region to the abominable human habitations seen everywhere. The last two sentences bring home to readers that ugliness is not due to poverty, but to something in- nate in the American character--a love of ugliness for its own sake, or, as the title says, the libidofor the ugly.3. Meneken refers to other towns and villages in America, to the villages of Europe and to the Parthenon in order to em- phasize the ugliness of Westmoreland County. He means to say Westmoreland is the ugliest spot on earth and the United States as a whole is uglier than Europe.4. The author also attacks the whole American raee a race that loves ugliness for its own sake, that lusts to make the world intolerable; a race which hates beauty as it hates truth (see the text, para. 9)5. The satirical power of the authorr s attack in this essay is not only a result of his choice of words, of his diction, but also his masterly employment of the various rhetoric means such as metaphors, similes, hyperboles and so on. Examples may be referred to the answers to Exs. XIII, XIV,XV.6. So far as the point which the author wanted to make is concerned, all the metaphors, similes and hyperboles are used appropriately and effectively.7. As a rule, an excessive use of strong language in writing tends to be self-defeating. Mencken uses a lot of hyper boles to exaggerate and also makes abundant use of sar casm, ridicule and irony to taunt the jeer in the essay. It may lead the average reader to doubt the objectivity and fairness or even the honesty of the writer. He may feel the writer perhaps has a special axe to grind and lose interest in what he has to say. So one might say Mencken employs all the force of diction, structure and figures only to batter his readers into insensitivity.IV.1. As a boy and later when I was a grown-up man, I had of- ten travelled throughthe region.2. But somehow in the past I never really perceived how shocking and wretched this whole region was.3. This dreadful scene makes all human endeavors to advanceand improve their lot appear as a ghastly, saddening joke.4. The country itself is pleasant to look at, despite the sooty dirt spread by the innumerable mills in this region.5. The model they followed in building their houses was a brick standing upright. / All the houses they built iooked like bricks standing upright.6. These brick-like houses were made of shabby, thin wooden boards and their roofs were narrow and had little slope.7. When the brick is covered with the black soot of the mills it takes on the color ofa rotten egg.8. Red brick, even in a steel town, looks quite respectable with the passing of time. / Even in a steel town, old red bricks still appear pleasing to the eye.9. I have given Westmoreland the highest award for ugliness after having done a lot of hard work and research and after continuous praying.10. They show such fantastic and bizarre ugliness that, in looking back, they become almost fiendish and wicked./ When one looks back at these houses whose ugliness is so fantastic and bizarre, one feels they must be the work of the devil himself.11. It is hard to believe that people built such horrible houses just because they did not know what beautiful houses were like.12. People in certain strata of American society seem definite- ly to hunger after ugly things; while in other less Chris- tian strata, people seem to long for things beautiful.13. These ugly designs, in some way that people cannot un- derstand, satisfy the hidden and unintelligible demands of this type of mind.14. They put a penthouse on top of it, painted in a bright, conspicuous yellow color and thought it looked perfect but they only managed to make it absolutely intolerable.15. From the intermingling of different nationalities and races in the United States emerges the American race which hates beauty as strongly as it hates truth．V．See the translation of the text．Ⅵ．1．express：a fast，direct train。

怪诞行为学中的一些例子

怪诞⾏为学中的⼀些例⼦申明：这本书之前看过，⾃⼰没总结，以下故事是⾖瓣南桥兄的书评，等我看了第⼆遍在评价⼀下 •有⼀段时间，为抑制企业给CEO乱涨⼯资⾏为，美国媒体开始给CEO公开⼯资，并排名。

结果，CEO⼯资涨得更是⽆法收拾了，因为富⼈这时候眼睛看着超级富⼈了； •你对⾃⼰的⼯资是否满意，要看你⽼婆的妹夫赚多少钱，因为你⽼婆会跟她妹妹去⽐。

（H. L. Mencken语）； •有个年轻⼈毕业后年薪⼗万，很不开⼼。

⽼板问他，你当初预期多少：“三万。

”“那么⼗万为什么不开⼼？”“因为参加同学聚会，那个很不怎么样的家伙挣30万！”作者建议，参加同学聚会的时候，看到⼀群⼈拿着酒杯在那⾥吹嘘，赶紧就⾛，别给⾃⼰找罪受。

•你买⼀⽀钢笔，甲商店卖25，⼄商店卖18，你会为了这7块钱跑15分钟去⼄商店。

你买⼀件⾐服，甲商店卖455，⼄商店卖448，同样是省7块钱，你却不愿意跑15分钟去⼄商店。

⼈找对象往往也是这样，有时候未必是仔细思量过对⽅的优点和好处，⽽是因为这个对象和其它某⼈⼀⽐，有了明显的强项。

所以找对象的时候也是⾮理性的。

那么理性的⼈呢？理性的⼈或许已经嫁不出去了。

供求的谬误： •很多时候，世界上并没有需求，只是卖的⼈来了，也便有了需求。

交际中委婉语的语境解析——具体委婉语

委婉语(euphemism)一词源自希腊语。

“eu”是前缀,意思是“好的”,词根“pheme”的意思是“话语”,因此字面上的意思是说好听的话或用礼貌的方式说话。

委婉语是一种语言现象,更是一种文化现象,是文化在语言当中的一种体现。

在语言交际中,人们对某些概念或事物总想避免直接提到,尽管在他们所用的语言里有这些词语。

要提到某种概念或事物时,就用另一个听起来比较委婉的词语来替代。

委婉语这种特殊的语言现象,共存于人类社会各语种之中,无论在书面或口头表达中,人们都有意或无意地在使用委婉语,使交际顺利、愉快地进行。

在当今社会中,委婉语的使用更是有增无减,而且不断推陈出新,令人目不暇接。

对委婉语的研究在近年来取得了很大进展,可谓如火如荼.什么是委婉语?不同的书有着不同的定义。

但归纳起来,其大意不外乎是:委婉语往往是用一种令人愉快的、委婉有礼的、听起来不刺耳的词语来代替令人不快的、粗鲁无礼的、听起来刺耳的词语。

根据不同的标准,委婉语有不同的分类。

根据所表达事物禁忌与否,把委婉语分为积极委婉语和消极委婉语。

根据委婉语的本义是否被遗忘可分为无意识委婉语和有意识委婉语。

语境是研究语言使用和功能的一个重要的语言学范畴。

语境的定义很广,而且不同学派、不同学科中人们对其认识也不一样。

但就一般而言,语境就是言语交际所依赖的环境。

语境直接影响委婉语的选择和理解,而委婉语的运用也依赖于语境。

如果对语境有足够的了解,并能恰当地加以利用,就能获得较好的语境效果,取得交际成功。

中文摘要委婉语在社会和文化交际中扮演着不可或缺的角色，是一种重要的交际策略，它是用一种间接而礼貌的方式来表达使人感到不快、尴尬的事情。

迄今为止，国内外许多学者从不同角度来研究委婉语并取得了可喜的成就，但是与Verschueren的顺应理论相比，其他研究方法都或多或少地缺乏普适性。

鉴于委婉语是交际过程中语言使用者顺应交际语境做出的具体的语言选择，是为实现某些交际目的而采取的一种语言策略，故运用顺应理论对委婉语进行系统的理论分析是非常必要的。

MarkTwain英文简介

MarkTwain英⽂简介Mark TwainMark Twain (1835 – 19l0) is a great literary giant of America, whom H. L. Mencken considered “the true father of our national literature.” With works like Adventure of Huckleberry Finn (1884) and Life on the Mississippi (1883) Twain shaped the world’s view of America and made a more extensive combination of American folk humor and serious literature than previous writers had ever done.1. Brief Introduction to the AuthorMark Twain, Pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was born on November 30, 1835, in Missouri, and grew up in the river town of Hannibal. After his father died, he began to seek his own fortune .He once worked as a journeyman printer, a steamboat pilot, a newspaper colunist and as a deadpan lecturer. Twain’s writing t ook the form of humorous journalism of the time, and it ennabled him to master the technique of narration.Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which provided the setting for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. After an apprenticeship with a printer, he worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to his older brother Orion’s newspaper. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his singular lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City TerritorialEnterprise. In 1865, his humorous story, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” was published, based on a story he heard at Angels Hotel in Angels Camp California where he had spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention, even being translated to classic Greek. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned praise from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he invested in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, which failed because of its complexity and imprecision. In the wake of these financial setbacks he filed for protection from his creditors via a bankruptcy filing, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers eventually overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no responsibility to do this under the law.Twain was born shortly after a visit by Halley’s Comet, and he predicted that he would “go out with it,” too. He died the day following the comet’s subsequent return. He was lauded as the “greatest American humorist of his age,” and William Faulkner called Twain “the father of American literature.”2. Mark Twain’s major worksIn l865, he pub1ished his frontier tale “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” which brought him recognition from a wider public. But his full literary career began to blossom in 1869 with a travel book Innocents Abroad, an account of American tourists in Europe which pokes fun at the pretentious, decadent and undemocratic Old World in a satirical tone. Mark Twain’s best works were produced when he was in the prime of his life. All these masterworks drew upon the scenes and emotions of his boyhood and youth. The first among these books is Roughing It (1872), in which Twain describes a journey that works its way farther west. Life on the Mississippi tells a story of his boyhood ambition to become a riverboat pilot. Two of the best books during this period are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The former is usually regarded as a classic book written for boys about their particular horrors and joys, while the latter, being a boy’s book specially written for the adults, is Twain’s most representative work, describing a journey down the Mississippi undertaken by two fugitives, Huck and Jim. Their episodic set of encounters presents a sample of the social world from the bank of the river that runs through the heart of the country.His social satire is The Gilded Age, written in collaborationwith Charles Dudley Warner. The novel explored the scrupulous individualism in a world of fantastic speculation and unstable values, and gave its name to the get-rich-quick years of the post-Civil War era. Twain’s dark view of the society became more self-evident in the works published later in his life. In A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1889), a parable of colonialization. A similar mood of despair permeates The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson (1894), which shows the disastrous effects of slavery on the victimizer and the victim alike and reveals to us a Mark Twain whose conscience as a white Southerner was tormented by fear and remorse. By the turn of the century, with the publication of The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg (l900) and The Mysterious Stranger (1916), the change in Mark Twain from an optimist to an almost despairing pessimist could be felt and his cynicism and disillusionment with what Twain referred to regularly as the “damned human race” became obvious.3. The Characteristics of Mark Twain’s Writing Style1) Twain as a local coloristTwain is also known as a local colorist, who preferred to present social life through portraits of the local characters of his regions, including people living in that area, the landscape, and other peculiarities like the customs, dialects, costumes and so on.Consequently, the rich material of his boyhood experience on the Mississippi became the endless resources for his fiction, and the Mississippi valley and the West became his major theme. Unlike James and Howe1ls, Mark Twain wrote about the lower-class people, because they were the people he knew so we1l ancl their 1ife was the one he himself had lived. Moreover he successfully used local color and historical settings to i1lustrate and shed light on the contemporary society.2) His use of vernacularAnother fact that made Twain unique is his magic power with language, his use of vernacular. His words are col1oquial, concrete and direct in effect, and his sentence structures are simp1e, even ungrammatical, which is typical of the spoken1anguage. And Twain skillfully used the colloquialism to cast his protagonists in their everyday life. What’s more, his characters, confined to a particular region and to a particular historical moment, speak with a strong accent, which is true of his 1ocal colorism. Besides, different characters from different literary or cultural backgrounds talk differently, as is the case with Huck, Tom, and Jim. Indeed, with his great mastery and effective use of vernacular, Twain has made colloquial speech an accepted, respectable 1iterary medium in the literary history of the country. His style of languagewas later taken up by his descendants, Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway, and influenced generations of letters.3) His humorMark Twain’s humor is remarkable, too. It is fun to read Twain to begin with, for most of his works tend to be funny, containing some practical jokes, comic details, witty remarks, etc., and some of them are actually tall ta1es. By considering his experience as a newspaperman, Mark Twain shared the popu1ar image of the American funny man whose punning, facetious, irreverenl articles filled the newspapers, and a great deal of his humor is characterized by puns, straight-faced exaggeration, repetition, and anti-climax, let alone tricks of travesty and invective. However, his humor is not only of witty remarks mocking at small things or of farcical elements making people laugh, but a kind of artistic style used to criticize the social injustice and satirize the decayed romanticism.4. Huckleberry Finn1) What is the book aboutH uckleberry Finn, by general agreement, is Twain’s finest book and an outstanding American novel. Its narrator is Huck, a youngster whose carelessly recorded vernacular speech is admirably adapted to detailed and poetic description of scenes, vivid representations of characters, and narrative renditions that are both broadly comicand subtly ironic.Huck, son of the village drunkard, is uneducated, superstitious, and sometimes credulous; but he also has a native shrewdness, a cheerfulness that is hard to put down, compassionate tolerance, and an instinctive tendency to reach the right decisions about important matters. He runs away from his persecuting father and, with his companion, the runaway slave Jim, makes a long and frequently interrupted voyage floating down the Mississippi River on a raft. During the journey Huck meets and comes to know members of greatly varied groups, so that the book memorably portrays almost every class living on or along the river. Huck overcomes his initial prejudices and learns to respect and love Jim.The book’s pages are dotted with idyllic descriptions of the great river and the surrounding forests, and Huck’s exuberance and unconscious humor permeate the whole. But a thread that runs through adventure after adventure is the theme of man’s inhumanity to man–-of human cruelty. Children miss this theme, but adults who read the book with care cannot fail to be impressed by an attitude that was to become a reiterated theme of the author during his later years.2) The significance of the novelThe book marks the climax of Twain’s literary creativity.Hemingway once described the novel the one book from which “all modern American literature comes.” The book is significant in many ways. First of all, the novel is written in a language that is totally different from the rhetorical language used by Emerson, Poe, and Melville. It is not grand, pompous, but simple, direct, lucid, and faithful to the colloquial speech. This unpretentious style of colloquialism is best described as “vernacular”. Speaking in vernacular, a wild and uneducated Huck, running away from civilization for his freedom, is vividly brought to life. Secondly, the great strength of the book also comes from the shape given to it by the course of the raft’s jou rney down the Mississippi as Huck and Jim seek their different kinds of freedom. Twain, who knew the river intimately, uses it here both realistically and symbolically. Thirdly, the profoundportrait of Huckleberry Finn is another great contribution of the book to the legacy of American literature. The novel begins with a description of how Widow Douglas attempts to civilize Huck and ends with him deciding not to let it happen again at the hands of Aunt Sally. The climax arises with Huck’s inner struggle on the Mississippi, when Huck is polarized by the two opposing forces between his heart and his head, between his affection for Jim and the laws of the society against those who help slaves escape.Huck’s final decision – to fo1low his own good – hearted moral impulse rather than conventional village morality – amounts to a vindication of what Mark Twain called” the damned human race,” damned for its comfortable hypocrisies, its thoroughgoing dishonesties, and its pervasive cruelties. With the eventual victory of his moral conscience over his social awareness, Huck grows.5. Selected ReadingAn Excerpt from Chapter 3l of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 1) The storyThis novel begins with Huck under the motherly protection of the Widow Douglas and her sister, Miss Watson. When his father comes to demand the boy’s fortune, Huck pretends that he has transferred the money to Judge Thather, so his father catches him and puts him into a lonely cabin. One night, after his father is drunken, Huck escapes to Jackson’s island and meets Miss Watson’s runaway slave, Jim. They start down the river on a raft. After several adventures, the raft is hit by a steamboat and the two are separated. Huck swims ashore and is saved by the Grangerford family, whose feud with the Sheperdsons causes bloodshed. Later, Huck discovers Jim and they set down again, giving refuge to a gang of frauds: the “Duke” and “King,” whose dramatic performances culminate in the fraudulentexhibition of the “Royal Nonesuch.” Huck also witnesses the lynching and murder of a harmless drunkard by an Arkansas aristocrat on the shore. When he finds that some rogues intend to claim legacies as Peter Wilks’s brother, Huc k interferes on behalf of the three daughters, and the scheme is failed by the arrival of the real brothers. Then he discovers that the “King”has sold Jim to Mrs. Phelps, Tom Sawyer’s Aunt Sally. At the Phelps farm, Huck and Tom try to rescue Jim. In the rescue, Tom is accidentally shot and Jim is recaptured. Later, Tom reveals that the rescue is necessary only because he “wanted the adventures of it.” It is also disclosed at the end of the novel that Huck’s father has died, so Huck’s fortune is safe.2) T he novel’s theme, characterization of “Huck” and the novel’s social significanceTheme: The novel is a vindication of what Mark Twain called “the damned human race.” That is the theme of man’s inhumanity to man–-of human cruelty, hypocrisies, dishonesties, and moral corruptions. Mark Twain’s thematic contrasts between innocence and experience, nature and culture, wilderness and civilization.Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is best known for Mark Twain’s wonderful characterization of “Huck,” a typical America n boy whom its creator described as a boy with “a sound heart and a deformedconscience,” and remarkable for the raft’s journey down the Mississippi river, which Twain used both realistically and symbolically to shape his book into an organic whole.Through the eyes of Huck, the innocent and reluctant rebel, we see the pre-Civil War American society fully exposed and at the same time we are deeply impressed by Mark Twain’s thematic contrasts between innocence and experience, nature and culture, wilderness and civilization.3) The selected chapterHuck and Jim are with the frauds. They decide to leave them in their raft when Huck learns that Jim is sold by the “King” to Mrs. Phelps. There is a very important description here of Huck’s inner conflict about whether or not he should write a letter to tell Miss Watsom where Jim is. Huck’s internal conflict between his sound heart and deformed conscience is obvious: On one hand, he feels that he ought to help return Jim to his owner, Miss Watson. On the other hand, his friendship for Jim makes such a course of action difficult for him. Huck instinctively knows the right thing to do. But his conscience dictates the conventional morality of the South. The whole episode is a subtle yet powerful condemnation of the society that makes Huck feel that he will go to hell for doing what his very instinct knows to be the right thing to do. Huck’s moral dilemmais brought about by a corrupt society that has institutionalized slavery.。
