萨比恩象征的版本

萨比恩象征的版本

萨比恩象征的版本萨比恩象征的版本【篇一:萨比恩象征的版本】星图上每一个度数都有一个象征,而每一个象征都能帮助我们更好的理解自身、面对未来。

萨比恩象征就是用一段看似简单的意象(风景、人物之类)来描述属于你自己出生时间相对度数的情况,便于人们更好的理解占星。

(以上文字摘自百度百科)a1.节日期间,威尼斯城内的条条河道上人潮涌动;一艘凤尾船上,几个小夜曲演奏者尽情地演奏着。

a2.夜间,西班牙勇士站在爱人的窗前栅栏边,对着她演奏柔美的夜曲。

b1.一只蝴蝶挣扎着摆脱蝶蛹,看上去右边翅膀形成得更完美一些。

b2.一个极度复杂的魔法仪式被一位作为核心人物很有实力戴着厚重面纱的预言家所展示。

c1.一群老式汽车组成的商队移民迁移;一个充满新鲜感的热情聚会。

c2.一张华丽而庄严的神职人员画像上,教皇正在向听众讲道。

d1.一棵树被砍伐锯为燃料供给开拓者的小屋用来应付冬季的严酷,所有一切都按步就班地进行着。

d2.尽管这是一个群山环绕的村子,信号几乎不可能存在,线务员们还是弄出了微弱的信号联接。

你看到了什么?以上都是太阳(星座)的萨比恩解释,世界上没有完全相同的两片树叶,但总有相似的纹路。

这四句里面最喜欢a 组,浪漫得完全是意料之外。

11选10词汇题练习含答案6套

It was already midnight. At one end of the big house, on a sort of a raised platform, Major was already sitting in comfort on his bed of straw. He was twelve years old and had __1__ grown rather fat, but he was still a majestic-looking (威武的) pig, with a wise and kind appearance. Before long the other animals began to arrive and make themselves __2_ _ after their different fashions. First came the three dogs, Bluebell, Jessie, and Pincher, and then the pigs, who settled down in the straw immediately in front of the platform. The hens rested themselves beside the window. The pigeons flew up to the rafters(房梁). The sheep and cows lay down behind the pigs. The two cart-horses, Boxer and Clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast hairy hoofs (马蹄) with great care in case there should be some small animal __3_ in the straw. Clover was a motherly horse ___4___ middle life, who had never quite got her figure back after her fourth baby. Boxer was an enormous beast, nearly eighteen hands high, and as strong as any two ordinary horses ___5____ __ together. A white stripe down his nose gave him a somewhat stupid appearance, and in fact he was not of first-rate ___6__ __, but he was ___7__ __ respected for his steadiness of character and ___8___ powers of work. After the horses came Muriel, the white goat, and Benjamin, the donkey. Benjamin was the oldest animal on the farm, and the worst ___9___ __. He seldom talked, and when he did, it was usually to make some ironical __10__ _----for instance, he would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would rather have had no tail and no flies. Alone among the animals on the farm he never laughed. If asked why, he would say that he saw nothing to laugh at.2.BJGHEKCDAIWhen Minnesota Bank and Trust opened in 2008, CEO Kate Kelly was determined to make it a place people wanted to work. So she __1__ three volunteers to the employee event committee and waited to see what would happen. Soon, there was lawn bowling, miniature golf, blue-jean Fridays and a(n) __2__ _ holiday trip to Wal-mart where each worker got $ 10 to buy a Secret Santa gift.‘It is nice every once in a while to just laugh,’ Kelly said. ‘There is a(n) ___3__ _ difference in the mood here after an event. Everyone is chatting and laughing. You don’t have to spend a lot of money.’Yet the __4_ __ is significant: people want to wor k there. And that’s important, according to a report __5__ __ by the Society of Human Resources Management. If employers don’t want their best talent to slip out the door for good, they need to develop the programs aimed at keeping their employees.Some executives say they are determined to keep their best talent and to spend the time and money necessary to __6 __ that all workers have a fun, engaging workplace where they feel ___7_ _. Kelly said her bank grew from 20 employees to 33 in four years. At the same time, she’s lost just three workers since 2008. It takes 12 to 18 months of training to replace a person who leaves. So her ___8_ __ in fun makes a lot of sense.Jessica Pecoraro is a member of the Women President Organisation. Every leader in that group ‘is looking for _9__ methods other than salary to motivate people, one, so they perform and two, so they stay.’Beyond money, they look for ways to have fun. Other _10__ on investments come in all sizes of smiles and in all manner of nuttiness(疯狂) that often have little to do with the job at hand.In this section, children are introduced to botany and zoology, and to the life cycle. And the circle of life is __1__ with the seasons, and the cycle of the seasons is explained. The help of the parent or teacher is much needed in explaining the seasons to young children.Most adults know that the seasons are not determined by the earth’s rotation (自转), which __2_ causes the daily cycle of light and dark. But __3__ _ in our educational system have left many parents and teachers with a rather unclear understanding of the cycle of the seasons. Surveys show that many Americans think the earth is closer to the sun in summer than in winter. In fact, the earth is farthest away from the sun in our summer and closest in winter, though the difference in distance is of minor importance. It is the tilt (倾斜) of the earth on its axis (轴) (toward the sun in summer and away from the sun in winter) as it ___4___ around the sun that causes the seasonal __5__ __ of winter and summer. To help children understand the sea sons in North America, it will be most useful to use a physical model. Here’s a simple suggestion for one.The seasonal __6__ between the earth and the sun can be __7___ _ to a child by putting a knitting needle through a tennis ball to ‘act’ as the ea rth and its axis. On the surface of the tennis ball, the equator (赤道) should be __8___ __ at right angles to the knitting needle. The tennis ball can then be circled around a burning light bulb in a plane(平面) __9__ __ to the floor at the same height as the bulb, keeping the axis at a(n) ___10__ _tilt toward the north. As the ball circles close to the bulb, the dark and light sides of the ball will be clearly seen, and so will the differences in light intensity on different parts of the ball.4.IFGEDKhJBCRobert Cohn was once middleweight boxing champion of Princeton. Do not think that I am very much impressed by that as a boxing title, but it meant a lot to Cohn. He cared nothing for boxing, in fact he disliked it, but he learnt it __1__ __ and thoroughly to fight against the feeling of __2__ __ and shyness he had felt on being treated as a Jew (犹太人) at Princeton. There was a certain __3__ __ comfort in knowing he could knock down anybody who was looking down on him, although, being very shy and a thoroughly nice boy, he never fought except in the gym. He was Spider Kelly's star pupil. Spider Kelly taught all his young gentlemen to box like featherweights, no matter whether they weighed one hundred and five or two hundred and five pounds. But it seemed to ___4__ __ Cohn. He was really very fast. He was so good that Spider promptly overmatched him and got his nose permanently ___5___ ___. This increased Cohn's distaste for boxing, but it gave him a certain ___6____ of some strange sort, and it certainly improved his nose. In his last year at Princeton he read too much and took to wearing spectacles. I never met any one of his class who remembered him. They did not even remember that he was middleweight boxing champion.I ___7____ __ all frank and simple people, especially when their stories hold together, and I always ____8___ that perhaps Robert Cohn had never been middleweight boxing champion, and that perhaps a horse had stepped on his face, or that maybe his mother had been frightened or seen something, or that he had, maybe, ____9_ __ into something as a young child, but I finally had somebody ___10____ the story from Spider Kelly. Spider Kelly not only remembered Cohn. He had often wondered what had become of him.WikiLeaks have no connection with the online encyclopedia or related websites. It is a non-profit organization that Assange and a few others set up in late 2006 in order to leak secret information ___1__ __ by governments and other organizations. Its philosophy, roughly speaking, is that secrecy can allow governments and other powerfulorganizations to get away with __2___ that are unjust, and that they would be pressured to operate in a better way if the public knew more about what they get up to.WikiLeaks generally ___3___ __ secret information either from computer hackers or from whistle-blowers(告密者) working inside governments and companies. It does not have an official director, or indeed official employees, but Assange, a 39-year-old Australian, is seens as the ___4___ __ force behind it.The leak that made WikiLeaks front-page news came at the end of November last year, when it started ___5___ ___ more than 250,000 top secret cables sent between the US State Department (foreign ministry) and US embassies (大使) around the world. WikiLeaks passed the documents to some major European newspapers, which began publishing what they considered the most interesting parts. Ths included information and opinions from US diplomats __6____ the governments of the countries they were working in, and the opinions of ___7___ __ in some countries (expressed in conversations with US diplomats) regarding other countries’ governments.Opinion on the recent leaks is ___8__ __. While many think WikiLeaks is enhancing democracy by increasing freedom of information, there are others ----including many US government officials—who think the leaks are __9_____ and dangerous. They say secrecy is often vital in ___10____ and diplomatic relations, as well as in military operations.6.A. bredB. exhaustionC. freshD. goE. knowingF. narrativeG. readingH. strugglesI. sunkJ. usesK. disappointmentsIn fiction, as in anything else, it is hard to do anything new. It’s hard to break rules that have never been broken. It’s ha rd to find new styles, and new rhythms, and new ways of structuring a ___1____ that keeps the reader engaged, and the reading exper ience ___2____. But what’s much harder than all of this is to change, or try to change, the way people think.In her new novel, NW, Zadie Smith has a(n) ___3___. She writes about a corner of North West London, and the people who call it home. She writes, in particular, about a group of people who grew up in the same community, the ones who seem to have survived and succeeded, and the ones who seem to have ___4____. She writes, in other words, about the hopes, and ___5___, and successes, and ____k___ of a group of people who were born and ___6___ in London, but whose parents weren’t. And she does this by hardly ever talking about the colour of anyone’s skin.It was, said Smith I an interview, one of the things she did to ‘amuse’ herself. ‘I remember as a kid,’ she said, ___7___ Updike or Roth, writers I loved, but half way through the book you’d have to deal with the appearance of ‘the black man’, who would be described as ‘the black man’. That can be quite exhausting to read, so I wanted to see if I cou ld create that ___8___ the other way round.’She ___9___, for example.The rhythms of London street slang to show that what’s often more important than race in a city of migrants, and children of migrants, is culture and class. A character, we can guess from the fact that her friend calls a ‘coconut’, is black. But skin colour is mostly only mentioned when it’s white.。

The tension begins to build up from this point, as it is obvious that the two pigs will not be able to share power for long.
Leaders and Followers
Snowball’s plans for the windmill becomes an issue which divides the animals:
Chapter 1, page 1.
Greed
Old Major’s speech berates the human farmers for being greedy.
He points out that humans only take from the animals, they do not actually produce anything themselves.
The animals who vie for the leadership, Napoleon and Snowball, are not introduced until Chapter 2.
This distances them from the ideals stated in Old Major’s speech. They take charge as they are more intelligent than the others.

Greed
The characters of the pigs automatically have the connotation of greed – ‘greedy pig’.

动物庄园英语读后感300字

动物庄园英语读后感300字

动物庄园英语读后感300字I recently finished reading Animal Farm and I'm still thinking about it. It's such a powerful story, told in a simple yet profound way. The animals rising up against the farmer was so inspiring, but then the power struggle within the animals themselves was so sad. It really made me think about how easy it is for us humans to fall into the same traps. The pigs starting to walk on two legs and wearing clothes was a crazy turn of events. It showed how quickly things can change and how power can corrupt. Overall, Animal Farm is a must-read. It's not just a story about animals, it's a story about us all.The characters were so vivid and realistic. Old Major, the wise old pig, really spoke to me. His vision of abetter life for all animals was so hopeful. But then there were the other pigs, like Napoleon and Snowball, who showed how power and greed can destroy even the noblest of ideals. And of course, the other animals like Boxer and Clover, they just wanted to work hard and be happy. They remindedme of the common people, striving for a better life but often getting caught up in the politics.。

Animal Farm (《动物农场》) 摘抄Chapter 1At the last moment Mollie, the foolish, pretty white marewho drew Mr. Jones's trap, came mincing daintily in, chewing at a lump of sugar.莫丽来得很晚,这个愚蠢的家伙,长着一身白生生的毛,拉琼斯先生的双轮轻便车。

她扭扭捏捏地走进来,一颠一颠地,嘴里还嚼着一块糖。

Last of all came the cat, who looked round, as usual, for the warmest place, and finally squeezed herself in between Boxer and Clover.猫是最后一个来的,她象往常一样,到处寻找最热乎的地方,最后在鲍克瑟和克拉弗当中挤了进去。

The cows lowed it, the dogs whined it, the sheep bleated it, the horses whinnied it, the ducks quacked it.牛哞哞地叫,狗汪汪地吠,羊咩咩地喊,马嘶嘶地鸣,鸭子嘎嘎地唤。

Chapter 2Snowball was a more vivacious pig than Napoleon, quicker in speech and more inventive, but was not considered to have the same depth of character.相比之下,斯诺鲍要活跃多了,口才好,也更有独创性,但看起来个性上没有拿破仑那么深沉。

They had never seen animals behave like this before, and this sudden uprising of creatures whom they were usedto thrashing and maltreating just as they chose, frightened them almost out of their wits.他们从前还没有见到动物这样的举动,他们曾经是怎样随心所欲的鞭笞和虐待这一群畜牲!而这群畜牲们的突然暴动吓得他们魂飞魄散。

Short-Summary-of-animal-farm

Short-Summary-of-animal-farm

Short SummaryAnimal Farm is a satirical fable set on Manor Farm,a typical English farm. Orwell employs a third—person narrator,who reports events without commenting on them directly。

The narrator describes things as the animals perceive them.Old Major calls a meeting of all the animals in the big barn。

He announces that he may die soon and relates to them the insights he has gathered in his life。

Old Major tells the animals that human beings are the sole reason that “No animal in England is free” and that “The life of an animal is misery and slavery.” Therefore the animals must take charge of their destiny by overthrowing Man in a great Rebellion. He relates his dream of rebellion。

Old Major dies soon after the meeting and the other animals prepare for the Rebellion under Snowball,Napoleon, and Squealer’s leadership。

打破定律赢得精彩作文素材英文回答:Breaking the Laws to Win the Spectacular.The laws of nature are immutable, right? They governthe universe, and we must abide by them. But what if we could break these laws? What if we could achieve the impossible?In the realm of art, literature, and life, breaking the laws can lead to extraordinary outcomes. By defying conventions and pushing boundaries, we can create masterpieces that captivate and inspire.Take Vincent van Gogh. He broke the laws of perspective, color, and composition to create his vibrant, swirling paintings. His work was initially ridiculed, but today itis celebrated as some of the greatest art ever created.Or consider Emily Dickinson. She broke the laws of grammar and rhyme to write her unique, haunting poems. Her work was often rejected by publishers, but today she is considered one of the most important American poets.In life, too, breaking the laws can lead to success. Think of Steve Jobs. He broke the laws of business by creating products that were both innovative and accessible. His company, Apple, became one of the most successful in the world.Or consider Malala Yousafzai. She broke the laws of her country by speaking out for the rights of girls to education. She was shot by the Taliban, but she survived and continued her fight. Today, she is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.Breaking the laws does not mean breaking them for the sake of it. It means questioning the status quo, experimenting, and taking risks. It means being willing to fail in order to learn and grow.When we break the laws, we open ourselves up to the possibility of achieving the impossible. We create something new and original, something that has never been seen before. We leave our mark on the world, and we inspire others to do the same.So, if you want to win the spectacular, don't be afraid to break the laws. Challenge the conventions, push the boundaries, and see what you can achieve.中文回答:打破规则赢得精彩。

Nevertheless, some of the animals were disturbed when they heard that the pigs not only took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing-room as a recreation room, but also slept in the beds.尽管这样,在一听到猪不但在厨房里用餐,而且把客厅当作娱乐室占用了之后,还是有一些动物为此深感不安。

Boxer passed it off as usual with "Napoleon is always right!".鲍克瑟到蛮不在乎,照例说了一句“拿破仑同志永远正确。

”But Clover, who thought she remembered a definite ruling against beds, went to the end of the barn and tried to puzzle out the Seven Commandments which were inscribed there.但是克拉弗却认为她记得有一条反对床铺的诫律,她跑到大谷仓那里,试图从题写在那儿的“七诫”中找出答案。

Finding herself unable to read more than individual letters, she fetched Muriel.结果发现她自己连单个的字母都不认不过来。

她便找来穆丽尔。

"Muriel," she said, "read me the Fourth Commandment. Does it not say something about never sleeping in a bed?"“穆丽尔”她说道,“你给我念一下第四条诫律,它是不是说决不睡在床上什么的?”With some difficulty Muriel spelt it out.穆丽尔好不容易才拼读出来。

英国文学名词解释总结版

英国文学名词解释总结版

English RomanticismEnglish Romanticism, as a historical phase of literature, is generally said to have begun in 1798 with the publication of Wordsworth and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads and to have ended in 1832 with Sir Walter Scott's death and the passage of the first Reform Bill in the Parliament.Historical and Cultural backgroundDuring this period, England had experienced profound economic and social change. The biggest social change in English history was the transfer of large masses of the population from the countryside to the towns. As a result of the Enclosures and the agricultural mechanization, the peasants were driven out of their land; some emigrated to the colonies; some sank to the level of farm laborers and many others drifted to the industrial towns where there was a growing demand for labor. But the new industrial towns were no better than jungles, where the law was "the survival of the fittest." The cruel economic exploitation caused large-scale workers' disturbances in England.Influences of the Romantic MovementRomanticism constitutes a change of direction from attention to the outer world of social civilization to the inner world of the human spirit.In essence it designates a literary and philosophical theory which tends to see the individual as the very center of all life and all experience. It also places the individual at the center of art, making literature most valuable as an expression of his or her unique feelings and particular attitudes and valuing its accuracy in portraying the individual's experiences.The Romantic Perioda. The Romantic period is an age of poetry. Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats are the major Romantic poets. They started a rebellion against the neoclassical literature, which was later regarded as the poetic revolution.b. The Romantic period is also a great age of prose. The two major novelists of the Romantic period are Jane Austen and Walter Scott.c. Besides poetry and prose, there are quite a number of writers who have tried their hand at poetic dramas in this period.The Romantic MovementIt expressed a more or less negative attitude towards the existing social and political conditions that came with industrialization and the growing importance of the bourgeoisie. The Romantics felt that the existing society denied people their essential human needs, so they demonstrated a strong reaction against the dominant modes of thinking of the 18th-century writers and philosophers. Where their predecessors saw man as a social animal, the Romantics saw him essentially as an individual in the solitary state and emphasized the special qualities of each individual's mind.The Gothic NovelIt is a type of romantic fiction that predominated in the late 18th century and was one phase of the Romantic movement, its principal elements are violence, horror and the supernatural, which strongly appeal to the reader's emotion. With its descriptions of thedark, irrational side of human nature, the Gothic form has exerted a great influence over the writer of the Romantic period. Works like The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) by Ann Radcliffe and Frankenstein (1818) by Mary Shelley are typical Gothic romance.Characteristics of Romantic literature in English historyThe Romantic period is an age of poetry. Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley and Keats are the major Romantic poets. They started a rebellion against the neoclassical literature, which was later regarded as the poetic revolution. Wordsworth and Coleridge were the major representatives of this movement. They explored new theories and innovated new techniques in poetry writing. They saw poetry as a healing energy: they believed that poetry could purify both individual souls and the society. The Romantics not only extol the faculty of imagination, but also stress the concept of spontaneity and inspiration, regarding them as something crucial for true poetry. The natural world comes to the forefront of the poetic imagination. Nature is not only the major source of poetic imagery, but also provides the dominant subject matter. Wordsworth is the closest to nature. To escape from a world that had become excessively rational, as well as excessively materialistic and ugly, the Romantics would turn to other times and places, where the qualities they valued could be convincingly depicted. Romantics also tend to be nationalistic, defending the great poets and dramatists of their own national heritage against the advocates of classical rules who tended to glorify Rome and rational Italian and French neoclassical art as superior to the native traditions. To the Romantics, poetry should be free from all rules. They would turn to the humble people and their everyday life for subjects.William Blake1) Early worksThe Songs of Innocence(1809) is a lovely volume of poems, presenting a happy and innocent world, though not without its evils and sufferings. For instance, " Holy Thursday" with its vision of charity children lit " with a radiance all their own" reminds us terribly of a world of loss and institutional cruelty.2) His Songs of Experience(1794) paints a different world, a world of misery, poverty, disease, war and repression with a melancholy tone. The benighted England becomes the world of the dark wood and of the weeping prophet.3) Blake's Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790) marks his entry into maturity. The poem was composed during the climax of the French Revolution and it plays the double role both as a satire and a revolutionary prophecy. In this poem, Blake explores the relationship of the contraries. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence. Life is a continual conflict of give and take, a pairing of opposites, of good and evil, of innocence and experience, of body and soul. "Without contraries," Blake states, "there is no progression."The "marriage," to Blake, means the reconciliation of the contraries, not the subordination of the one to the other.Characteristics of Blake's poemsBlake who lived in the blaze of revelation, felt bound to declare that " I know that This world is a world of IMAGINATION and Vision," and that "The Nature of my work is visionary or imaginative."From childhood, Blake had a strongly visual mind; whatever he imagined, he also saw. As an imaginative poet, he presents his view in visual images instead of abstract terms. Blake writes his poems in plain and direct language. His poems often carry the lyric beauty with immense compression of meaning. He distrusts the abstractness and tends to embody his views with visual images. Symbolism in wide range is also a distinctive feature of his poetryThe TygerThe Tyger, included in Songs of Experience, is one of Blake's best-known poems. It seemingly praises the great power of tiger, but what the tiger symbolizes remains disputable: the power of man? Or the revolutionary force? Or the evil? Or as it is usually interpreted, the Almighty Maker who created both the meek and gentle lamb and the terrible and awesome tiger? The poem is highly symbolic with a touch of mysticism and it is open to various interpretations.The poem contains six quatrains in rhyming couplets and its language is terse and forceful with an anvil rhythm.William WordsworthWordsworth are known as the "Lake Poets."As a great Romantic poet, Wordsworth had a long poetic career. His Lyrical Ballads, written together with Coleridge, is generally regarded as the symbol of the beginning of the Romantic period in England.His poetic outlookWordsworth is regarded as a " worshipper of nature." He can penetrate to the heart of things and give the reader the very life of nature. "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is perhaps the most anthologized poem in English literature, and one that takes us to the core of Wordsworth's poetic beliefs. To Wordsworth, nature embodies human beings in their diverse circumstances. It is nature that gives him "strength and knowledge full of peace.“Common life is Wordsworth's only subject of literary interest. The joys and sorrows of the common people are his themes. His sympathy always goes to the suffering poor.Wordsworth is a poet in memory of the past. To him, life is a cyclical journey. Its beginning finally turns out to be its end.Wordsworth's deliberate simplicity and refusal to decorate the truth of experience produced a kind of pure and profound poetry which no other poets has ever equaled. Poetry, he believes, originates from "emotion recollected in tranquility."Rejecting the contemporary emphasis on form and intellectual approach that drained poetic writing of strong emotion, he maintains that the scenes and events of everyday life and the speech of ordinary people are the raw material of which poetry can and should be made.His poetical works1) LyricsLyrical Ballads differs in marked ways from his early poetry, notably the uncompromising simplicity of much of the language, the strong sympathy not merely with the poor in general but with particular, dramatized examples of them, and the fusion of natural description with expressions of inward states of mind. The poems Wordsworth added to the 1800 edition of the Lyrical Ballads are among the best of his achievements. Characteristics of Wordsworth’s Poems and His AchievementsWilliam Wordsworth is the leading figure of the English romantic poetry, the focal poetic voice of the period. His is a voice of searchingly comprehensive humanity and one that inspires his audience to see the world freshly, sympathetically and naturally. The most important contribution he has made is that he has not only started the modern poetry, the poetry of the growing inner self, but also changed the course of English poetry by using ordinary speech of the language and by advocating a return to nature.1) I Wandered Lonely as a CloudWordsworth is regarded as a "worshipper of nature." He can penetrate to the heart of things and give the reader the very life of nature. "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is perhaps the most anthologized poem in English literature, and one that takes us to the core of Wordsworth's poetic beliefs. Wordsworth wrote this beautiful poem of nature after he came across a long belt of gold daffodils tossing and reeling and dancing along the waterside. There is a vivid picture of the daffodils here, mixed with the poet's philosophical and somewhat mystical thoughts.The poem consists of four 6-lined stanzas of iambic tetrameter with a rhyme scheme of ababcc in each stanza. The last stanza describes the poet's recollection in tranquility from which this poem arose. The poet thinks that it is a bliss to recollect the beauty of nature in his mind while he is in solitude.George Gordon ByronHours of idleness English Bards and Scotch Reviewers. Childe Harold's Pilgrimage Oriented Tales, the verse drama Manfred Don JuanByronic HeroAs a leading Romanticist, Byron's chief contribution is his creation of the " Byronic hero," a proud and mysterious rebel figure of noble origin. With immense superiority in his passions and powers, the Byronic hero would carry on his shoulders the burden of righting all the wrongs in an evil society, and would fight single-handedly against any kind of tyrannical rules either in government, in religion or in moral principles with unconquerable wills and inexhaustible energies. The conflict is usually one of rebellious individuals against outworn social systems and convention. The figure is, to some extent, modeled on the life and personality of Byron himself, and makes Byron famous both at home and abroadPercy Bysshe ShelleyThe Necessity of AtheismThe whole poem has a logic of feeling, a not easily analyzable progression that leads to the triumphant, hopeful and convincing conclusion: "If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?"Shelley derived from his reading of Dante. The nervous thrill of Shelley's response to nature however is here transformed through the power of art and imagination into a longing to be united with a force at once physical and prophetic. Here is no conservative reassurance, no comfortable mysticism, but the primal amorality of nature itself with its mad fury and its pagan ruthlessness. Shelley's ode is an invocation(祈祷) to a primitive deity, a plea to exalt him in its fury and to trumpet the radical prophecy of hope and rebirth.Poetic drama: Prometheus Unbound (1820Characteristics of Shelley's PoetryShelley is one of the leading Romantic poets, an intense and original lyrical poet in the English language. Like Blake, he has a reputation as a difficult poet: erudite, imagistically complex, full of classical and mythological allusions. His style abounds in personification and metaphor and other figures of speech which describe vividly what we see and feel, or express what passionately moves us.John KeatsEndymion Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes, and Other Poems Ode to a NightingaleOde on an Grecian UrnIt shows the contrast between the permanence of art and the transience of human passion. The poet has absorbed himself into the timeless beautiful scenery on the antique Grecian Urn: the lovers, musicians and worshippers on the Urn exist simultaneously and for ever in their intensity of joy. They are unaffected by time, stilled in expectation. This is at once the glory and the limitation of the world conjured up by an object of art. The urn celebrates but simplifies intuitions of ecstasy by seeming to deny our painful knowledge of transience and suffering.Characteristics of Keats's PoetryKeats's poetry is always sensuous, colorful and rich in imagery, which expresses the acuteness of his senses. Sight, sound, scent, taste and feeling are all used to give an entire understanding of an experience. He has the power of entering the feelings of others-either human or animal. With vivid and rich images, he paints poetic pictures full of wonderful color. Keats's poetry, characterized by exact and closely-knit construction, sensual descriptions, and by force in imagination, gives transcendental values to the physical beauty of the world."Ode on a Grecian Urn"The Grecian Urn that the poem depicts is a piece of ancient Greek pottery with a pastoral scene overwrought upon it. The urn represents a piece of artifact, and it has endured a long history, yet remains untarnished, and the pastoral scene on it can still be seen clearly. On the surface, this ode is about the Grecian Urn, but we can fairly say it is a commentary on nature and art, for art has the power to preserve intense human experiences, so that they may go on being enjoyed by men from generation to generation. Pleasure in life cannot be protected from change, while artifact can remain intact. The Ode consists of 5 stanzas, the first four stanzas describing a pastoral scene on the urn, and the last epitomizing the relation of the timeless ideal world in art to the woeful actual world.Jane AustenSense and Sensibility; Pride and Prejudice; Northanger Abbey; Mansfield Park; Emma; and PersuasionAusten's main literary concern is about human beings in their personal relationships. Because of this, her novels have a universal significance. She is particularly preoccupied with the relationship between men and women in love. Stories of love and marriage provide the major themes in all her novels. The works of Jane Austen, delightful and profound, are part of the supreme achievements of English literature. With trenchant observation and in meticulous detail, she presents the quiet, day-to-day life of the upper-middle-class English. Her characteristic theme is that maturity is achieved through the loss of illusions. Faults of character displayed by the people of her novels are corrected when, through tribulation, lessons are learned. Even the most minor characters are vividly particularized in Austen's lucid style. All these show a mind of the shrewdest intelligence adapting the available traditions and deepening the resources of art with consummate craftsmanship. Because of her sensitivity to universal patterns of human behavior, Jane Austen has brought the English novels, as an art form, to its maturity, and she has been regarded by many critics as one of the greatest of all novelists.Selected ReadingAn Excerpt From Chapter I of Pride and Prejudice1) Structure, characterization and language styleThe structure of the novel is exquisitely deft, the characterization in the highest degree memorable, while the irony has a radiant shrewdness unmatched elsewhere. At the heart of the novelist's exploration of the marriage, property and intrigue lies the exhilarating suspense of the relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy, and Jane Austen's delicate probing of the values of the gentry. The moments of high comedy in the novel are always related to deeper issues. Elizabeth's rejection of the odious Mr. Collins suggests her independence and self-esteem, but when Collins is accepted by her friend Charlotte Lucas, we see the reality of marriage as a necessary step if a woman is to avoid the wretchedness of aging spinsterhood. Conversely, in the elopement of Lydia and Wickham, we are shown the dangers of feckless relationships unsupported by money. The comic characters in Pride and Prejudice are: Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Mr. Collins and that monstrous snob Lady Catherine de Burgh, who make us laugh even as they parody erroneous views of marriage and class. Characteristics of Jane Austen's novels1) Austen‘s novels describe a narrow range of society and events: a quiet, prosperous, middle class circle in provincial surroundings, which she knew well from her own experience.2) Her subject matter is also limited, for most of her novels deal with the subject of getting married, which was in fact the central problem for the young leisure-class lady of that age, who had no other choice in her life but to find a good husband.3) Austen's interest was in human nature; in her depiction of human nature, instead of being fascinated by great waves of elevated emotion, by passion or heroic experience, she focused on the trivial and petty details of everyday living, which became very interesting through her truthful and lively description.4) Austen's novels are brightened by their witty conversation and omnipresent humor. Her language shines with an exquisite touch of lively gracefulness, elegant and refined, but never showy.The Bronte SistersCharlotte BronteEmily Bronte Wuthering HeightsAnne Bronte Agnes Grey The Tenant of Wildfell HallCharlotte's Literary CreationCharlotte Bronte's works are all about the struggle of an individual towards self-realization, about some lonely and neglected young women with a fierce longing for love, and understanding and a full, happy life. All her heroines' highest joy comes from some sacrifice of self or some human weakness overcome. Besides, she is a writer of realism combined with romanticism. On the one hand, she presents a vivid realistic picture of the English society by exposing the cruelty, hypocrisy and other evils of the upper classes and by showing the misery and suffering of the poor. Her works are famous for the depiction of the life of the middle-class workingwomen, particularly governesses. On the other hand, her writings are marked throughout by intensity of vision and of passion. By writing from an individual point of view, by creating characters who are possessed of strong feelings, fiery passions and some extraordinary personalities, by using some elements of horror, mystery and prophesy,she is able to recreate life in a very romantic way. The vividness of her subjective narration, the intensely achieved characterization, especially those heroines who are totally contrary to the public expectations and the most truthful presentation of the economical, moral, social life of the time -all this earns her works a never dying popularity.Jane, like Mr. Rochester, has to undergo a series of physical and moral tests to grow up and achieve her final happiness. The success of the novel is also due to its introduction to the English novel the first governess heroine. Jane Eyre is a completely new woman image. She represents those middle-class workingwomen who are struggling for recognition of their rights and equality as a human being. The vivid description of her intense feelings and her thought and inner conflicts brings her to the heart of the audience.Jane Eyre's characterJane Eyre, an orphan child with a fiery spirit and a longing to love and be loved, a poor, plain, little governess who dares to love her master, a man superior to her in many ways, and even is brave enough to declare to the man her love for him, cuts a completely new woman image. In this novel Charlotte characterizes Jane Eyre as a naive, kind-hearted, noble-minded woman who pursues a genuine kind of love. Jane Eyre represents those middle-class workingwomen who are struggling for recognition of their basic rights and equality as a human being. The vivid description of her intense feelings and her thought and inner conflicts brings her to the heart of the audience. The selected part is taken from Chapter XXIII, not long after Jane is back from her aunt's funeral. Jane finds herself hopelessly in love with Mr. Rochester but she is aware that her love is out of the question. So, when forced to confront Mr. Rochester, she desperately and openly declared her equality with him and her love for him. The passion described here is intense and genuine.。

2013高考英语二轮浏览理解(四月)训练(2)及答案I believe that animals possess greater intelligence than most people think. But plants? I've never considered the possibility of plant intelligence. The idea seems absurd.Yet I've had friends argue that plant intelligence might exist. "What are the differences between plants and animals?" they ask, and then they argue about certain species that seem to share the intelligence of both plants and animals.New research suggests that plants communicate via "networks". Plant communication is not a new idea, and cannot indicate that its is a kind of intelligence, but it is still interesting.Recent research from Vidi researcher Josef Stuefer at the Radboud University Nijmegen shows that plants have their own chat systems that they can use to warn each other. Therefore plants are not boring and passive organisms that just stand there waiting to be cut down or eaten up. Many plants form internal communication networks and are able to exchange information networks and are able to exchange information efficiently.Many herbal plants such as strawberries and clovers (三叶草)naturally form networks.Individual plants remain connected with each other for a certain period of time by means of runners (plant stems that growalong the ground and put down roots to form new plants). These connections enable the plants to share information with each other via internal channels. They are therefore very similar to computer networks. But what do plants chat to each other about?Recently Stuefer and his colleagues were the first to prove that clover plants warn each other via the network links if danger is nearby . If one of the plants is attacked by caterpillars (毛虫),the other members of the network are warned via an internal signal. Once warned, the intact (残缺无损的)plants strengthen their chemical and mechanical (机体的)resistance so that they are less attractive to advancing caterpillars. Thanks to this early warning system, the plants can stay one step ahead of their attackers. The research has shown that this significantly limits the damage to the plants.Again, I don't believe this reflects intelligence, but it's is certainly fascinating.17.The author thinks that the plant communication___________..A. is absolutely a new ideaB. is a sign of plant intelligenceC. is related to animal communicationD. is interesting and fascinating18.Which of the following statements about the research is NOT true?A. Most plants have no chat system and are passive organisms.B. Individual plants can also remain connected with each other.C. The communication between clover plants can protect themfrom damage.D. The research is the first to show how clover plants warn each other.19.The author's attitude towards plant intelligence is_______________.A. unconcernedB. doubtfulC. positiveD. hopeful20.What's the best title for the passage?A. Does Plant Communication Really Exist?B. Some Discoveries About Clover PlantC. Does Plant Communication Imply Intelligence?D. A New Study on Plant Communication参考答案 17-20 DABC********************************************结束ASo long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible.”Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探求) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read e asy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable andfrequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.41. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that _______.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading42. The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable43. The word “scrutiny” in Para.3 most probably means “ ________”A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion44. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when _______.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children’s experience45. The main idea of the passage is thatA. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believed参考答案 41-45DBBAC******************************************************* *结束BThe biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portablecomputer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation(航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban such devices from being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able toreproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable (易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio system in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s t oo loud.46. The passage is mainly about ________.A. a new regulation for all airlines.B. the defects of electronic crashesC. a possible cause of aircraft crashesD. effective safety measures for air flight47. What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?A. They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.B. They may have taken place during take off and landing.C. They were proved to have been caused by the passengers’ portable computers.D. They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.48. Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengersusing electronic devices because _______.A. they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interference.B. the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved.C. most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players.D. they have other effective safety measures to fall back on.49. Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane’s computers?A. Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.B. Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.C. Because research scientists have not been to produce the same effects in labsD. Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.50. It can inferred from the passage that the author _________.A. is in favor of prohibiting passengers’ use of electronic devices completelyB. has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interferenceC. hasn’t formed his own opinion on this problemD. regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight参考答案 46-50CDBCA************************************************结束CEveryone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Cumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Cumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don'ttell my mother.”“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don't tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee , pack your things. We'll go to see him.”She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,”she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me.I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants. We've got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.So he said. “Well, Fee, we won't go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”The eyes didn't liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that.Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know.”10. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer.B. The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later.C. The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder.D. Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him.11. Paddy cried because he thought ______________.A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishmentB. Frank should have told Fee what had happenedC. what had happened to Frank was killing FeeD.

AnimalFarm动物庄园英文版书评

AnimalFarm动物庄园英文版书评

Animal FarmWhen I first read this book, I feel like it’s not just a simple fable, because the author seems to want to imply something to us readers. The Animalism, which he has refered in his novel remind me of something about ideology, or a country, or the politics. “There was something subversive and even revolutionary in the outlook of himself and his colleagues.” It really proves that, for the special tone he uses. Then, I search on the Internet, which prove my guess further.Animal Farm by George Orwell is a novel based on the lives of animals living on the Manor Farm. Here I’d like to talk about the main characters in this book.The first is Napolean, a pig. The pigs are favoured on Animal Farm, and they were given privileges that other animals were not given, such as sleeping in beds, wearing clothes and drinking beer. ”that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? We pigs are brainworkers.”In some sense, it’s reasonable. Everyone that wants to be favoured and privileged needs develop himself.“It had come to be accepted that the pigs, who were manifestly cleverer than the other animals, should decide all questions of farm policy, though their decisions had to be ratified by a majority vote. The pigs were also the only animals involved in making the vital decisions on Animal Farm. ”Those words are extracted from the book. I should say the pigs are quite hypocritical, they never really think of their so-called comrades, since what they have done just for their own.In the end of the story, there are some interesting but deep words “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”The author reveals that the pigs gradually become the so-called leaders which exploits the sweat and perspiration of the lower class. “Never complaining, never criticizing, no matter what happened----they might have uttered some word of protest.” That is what they always in mind.Another character, Boxer the horse, which represents how people are used for their skills and talents. As soon as they are not needed they are disregarded. Boxer is the hardest worker on the farm, he contributes the most to the development of the windmill. As soon as Boxer is unable to continue working, Napolean gets rid of him. This scene illustrates that Animal Farm is a story about human nature, as it is a human tendency to use people to achieve certain goals, but disregard them as soon as they are no longer needed. The two slogans of Boxer,”I will work harder” and “Napoleon is always right”, which he had adopted as his personal motto. Boxer is always loyal to the Animalism, and he never knows that he is used, cheated and betrayed. When protecting the farm, he hurt someone, he said “I have no wish to take life, not even human life” He is kind.Clover's feelings for Boxer also illustrates how animal farm is about human nature and behaviour, Cover's fondness for Boxer showed when Boxer confides to Clover that how much his split hoof hurt, Clover treats Boxer's troubled hoof with poultices of herbs. After Boxer's hoof has healed, he works harder than ever, Clover tries to convince Boxer he shouldn't be working so hard and he should be taking better care ofhis help , but Boxer pays no attention. When Boxer falls down. Clover is first to come to his aid, for the next two days Boxer has to stay in his stall, Clover would give Boxer medicine, In the evenings Clover would lay in his stall and talk to him. When the Knacker's comes to collect Boxer, Clover does all in her power to stop the knackers taking Boxer away. This example of behaviour indicates the human quality of love and compassion towards others. This part is really warm.Well, about the theme.“Another thing that Animal Farm and todays society have in common is that the powerless people are subject to propaganda.”Squealer and Napolean used propaganda by telling the animals that Snowball was a traitor, and convincing them that he was a criminal. They threatened that if Napolean was not in leadership Jones may come back. Through this way “they found it comforting to be reminded that, after all, they were truly their own masters and that the work they did was for their own benefit. They even were able to forget that their bellies were empty, at least part of the time.” But actually they are not masters. They are under the leadership of Napolean. Their lives are miserable, laborious, and short.Later, I find a review of this book: “Although the title of the book suggests the book is merely about animals, the story is a much more in depth analysis of the workings of society in Communist Russia”.The animals are used as puppets to illustrate how the communist class system operated, and how Russian citizens responded to this, and how propaganda was used by early Russian leaders such as Stalin, and the effect this type of leadership had on the behaviour of the people of Russia., and human nature” It concludes very well, much better than me, anyway. (By the way, there is a viewpoint.“The fact emulates in a way how our Government tends to operate. The Government Party members are paid an exuberant amount of money, with this money the members of the Government can purchase costly cars and houses, if they wish to do so. They make all the important decisions about the country where as the tax payers rarely have a say in it. ” Well, it’s reasonable. But I don’t think it’s quite relevant to this novel. It’s not notable.)。

Boxer and Clover Represent the Working Class In the Animal FarmJenny WanENG3UDate:2012.10.18Ms.Montgomery" Animal Farm" tells the story of a farm where the animals have revolted against the humans and the pigs are leaders. The animals create a " Constitution" in the farm of the " Seven Commandments", and re-name the farm " Animal Farm". But soon there is division, a pig named Snowball is declared to be the enemy, from then, on the leadership falls into the hands of the pig, Napoleon. Gradually, Napoleon gains more and more power and special treatment. He eventually becomes just as the humans, where he exploits the animals."Animal Farm" follow the history of the Soviet Union and even the entire 20th century; including the international communist movement. Our history is astonishing similar to the novel. The author predicts the future of Communist Movement, by the development and change of Animal Farm. The history of Soviet Union(1991 break up) and the Eastern Europe upheaval, is used to prove his perspective. But, the meaningof this book is not only to predict the future, but also to teach people one fundamental thing that due to they, the group of the master and possess the right of distribution, always to hold their dominant position. In the end, the result will be a heterogeneous with society fair.In this group of animals, each represents the different social roles, and Boxer and Clover symbolize believe the basic people and the working class. Firstly, I will discuss Boxer's role in the novel which is incredibly crucial.The Boxer is gigantic, almost six feet tall, and strong enough to get on top of two ordinary horses. However, one along the bridge of the nose to give birth to the white hair, so how much he seems a bit silly. In fact, he did not have the pre-eminent IQ, but his indomitable character and energetic performance at work, or he won universal respect.(2)From this description we can see that some of the basic characteristics of the Boxer: industrious, brave but not very smart. Other parts of the text is also reflected his kind, blind loyalty, following a detailed analysis.1.IndustriousBoxer industrious description appears multiple times, for example, 24 of the book:He has long been agreed upon and a small cock, small cock half an hour earlier every morning to wake him, so that he in the day the officialbefore work, first do some volunteer live, no matter what live, as long as the look is most needed to contribute. Encounter any difficulties and setbacks, the Boxer answer usually is: "I want to work harder to work!" - This phrase has become his motto.In the text, almost everywhere you can see the Boxer figure exhaustion. The Boxer has become a model of labour, is a model for all workers, is the "Lei Feng" of Animal Farm. He is not only used it a lot of sweat in exchange for the Animal Farm isa time of harvest, and also become the idols of the animals are imitated, is the spiritual pillar of most animals, 61 in the book said:Squealer times published labor of fun as well as her husband's sacred like brilliant speech, but other animals is more encouraging, indeed Boxer unlimited energy and he has been mention of the sound that scream "I want to be more hard work. Practical work hard is indeed one of the working people have a better quality. Almost all the working people of the country to have such a wonderful, earthy quality. Boxer symbolizes one thousand dry absolutely a hard working laborer with both hands at the bottom of society, they hold up the ambitions and dreams of the political elite. It is hard-working quality support from the Animal Farm Animal Farm across numerous difficulties have been afloat. However, this hard-working but not to the Boxer a good outcome, say that it is a tragedy.2.BraveBoxer is not only to work hard, threat encountered in Animal Farm, without flinching, always move forward, red in the first line of the war. In the the Battle of the Cowshed, the performance of the Boxer's amazing: but most horror scene or Boxer there, he is like a no castrated adult male horse, actually rely on the hind feet and the body upright, waving looks forward to his pinned iron two large hoof. He hit the first fist hit the head of a groom from Fox Wood Manor, played stiffly down in the mud and could not move.Although itself in the number of shells in a fight with a gang of Frederick, but he still kicked in the head of three people, led the animals to win the victory of thebattle. This also reflects the majority of the proletariat fearless in battle. As steel is depicted in the "How to Make Paul Korchagin, ordinary people can not imagine the majority of proletarians courageous and fearless in the face of foreign invasion manifested to them in order to defend the motherland, and defend the socialist regime throwing head shed blood, a lot of people gave their youth on the battlefield. Iron Man will they have erected to defend the homeland and hearts beautiful ideal of a flesh and blood of the Great Wall. Well, this image of the Boxer to brave the quality of the majority of the people.3.GoodnessBesides industrious and brave, the Boxer still a kind person. The Battle of the Cowshed, Boxer missed and killed a man, he's responded well to the good quality of the interpretation of the working people:"He is dead," Boxer said ruefully, "I did not intend to do so I forgot I also wore iron boots. anyone believe me this is not intentional? ""Do not sentimental, comrades! "wound still bleeding snowball exclaimed," war is war the only good man is dead. "" I failed to capture the lives of the idea, and even the same is true. "Boxer reiterated two also contains tears. (37)We can be seen from this conversation Boxer goodness. Even related to Animal Farm control of the fight, the Boxer also do not want to hurt the enemy, and he just wanted to protect their homes from harm, for no harm to the heart. Who will cry for the enemy to die in the fighting after? I think the only Boxer so good peoplewill be so compassionate and move. The author does not seem to have the heart to let a Boxer so good role bear kill sins. Then fill in the back on the groom did not die, just stunned. This is a symbol of the kind of character of the toiling masses It is this simply the quality, but also to let the public have received serious injuries.4.IgnoranceBoxer learned letters can not exceed D. This low intelligence foreshadowing the tragic fate of the Boxer. Set industrious, brave, kind-in-one, the Boxer did not avoid deception by the ruling clique. Even if they can feel wrong, Boxer still can not uncover the truth of the practical things, just blindly believe the official explanation. If you use the words "rabble", "no reasoning ability groups, so it can not show any critical spirit, that is, it can not identify the authenticity of form a correct judgment or anything, groups accepted judgment just judgment imposed on them, and certainly not after discussing adoption of judgment. "Although the "rabble" wrote the object is the public, but the lower educational level, acceptable to the broad masses of the ruling group to develop education will inevitably become a "mob", by the autocratic, dictatorial confused. In fact, the book, Boxer not stupid about the snowball is whether this problem is a traitor, Boxer raised strong doubts, and incurred the sound is vicious glance. However, limited intelligence, and blind loyalty to eliminate Boxer suspicion, and then faithful is not suspected to continue to support the revolution. And, ignorance is a bit ridiculous, to Napoleon Napoleon has publicly send the dog to want to get rid of the Boxer, Boxer still support its policy, and he still will fault the football in his head. His solution to the problem is always to work harder,the heavy burden depersonalize. He does not think that this is not his fault, but the institutional reasons.5.Blind loyaltyWith ignorance is blind loyalty. This Boxer who is revealed. "Napoleon is always right" this point is the Boxer. Absolute slogan embodies the Boxer of Napoleon's absolute trust and unconditional support to this idea after the official propaganda, they become bound all the shackles, which had before the reform and opening up, reminiscent of the "two whatevers" error approach. In the process of "cleansing", Napoleon dogs to get rid of the Boxer, but the Boxer uniforms dog. In this issue of how to dispose of the dog, the Boxer is still to seek the views of Napoleon, and very obedient to put the dog. While in the process of debate with the squealer Snowball is a traitor, squealer final say Napoleon has identified snowball Jones spies the Boxer immediately is another response:"Oh, that is another matter! "Boxer said," If Comrade Napoleon says, that can not go wrong! "(66)From which we can see the Boxer's blind loyalty has to be get. "Mastered the art of affecting the imagination of the masses, and also mastered the art of domination", "group will subconsciously some mysterious force equivalent consciousness aroused their enthusiasm for the political creed or winning leader". "Rabble" says. Although it is cruel, but the forces of terror and the tragic consequences of blind loyalty brought on before us, we have to be wary of the dangers of blind loyalty this great emotional.Clover,A good-hearted female cart-horse and Boxer’s close friend. She is protective of her foals and displays kindness to all the animals, but in particular to Boxer. Like Boxer, she represents the true working class of the animal community.It seems that she has slightly more capacity for doubt than her companion. When the pigs begin sleeping in beds, she thinks that she remembers a rule against animals sleeping in beds. Clover is obviously right to be suspicious. As Boxer ages, he is determined to re-build the windmill, and Clover carefully reminds him that “A horse’s lungs do not last for ever” . When his lung collapses, she stays with him and tends to him, but again, she is not qu ite suspicious enough of the pigs’ intentions.She takes care of her hard-working companion, and though she is concerned for his well being, she cannot protect it because she doesn’t realize just how cruel some animals can be.In conclusion, we should reflect on our choices, and our concessions in life. We should not follow the status-quo, we need to ask questions, and not be ignore of the things going on around us. We are seen the outcome of this in both history and the demise of Boxer. We must keep our eyes open and not take our freedom and life for granted./review/5194969/流体精神/question/268890965.html&__bd_tkn bingo199027 Book: "Animal Farm" George Orwell。
