BarnBurning中文版
Barn Burnin g中文版治安官借了杂货店在坐堂问案，杂货店里有一股乳酪味。
捧着帽子、蜷着身子坐在人头济济的店堂后边的孩子，觉得不但闻到一股乳酪味，还闻到了别的味儿。
他坐在那里，看得见那一排排货架上密密麻麻地摆满了罐头，看上去都是矮墩墩、结结实实、神定气足的样子，他暗暗认过罐头上贴的招牌纸，可不是认招牌纸上的字，他半个大字也不识，他认的是那上面画的鲜红的辣子烤肉和银白色的弯弯的鱼。
他不但闻到了乳酪味，而且肚子里觉得似乎还嗅到了罐头肉的味儿，这两股气味不时一阵阵送来，却总如昙花一现，转瞬即逝，于是便只剩下另一股老是萦回不散的味儿，不但有那么一股味儿，而且还有那么一种感觉，叫人感到有一点恐惧不安，而更多的则是伤心绝望，心口又跟从前一样，觉得一腔热血在往上直冲。
他看不见治安官当做公案的那张桌子，爸爸和爸爸的仇人就在那桌跟前站着呢。
（他就是在那种绝望的心情下暗暗地想：那可是我们的仇人，是我们的！不光是他的，也是我的！他是我的爸爸啊！）虽然看不见他们，却听得见他们说话，其实也只能说听得见他们两个人在说话，因为爸爸还没有开过口。
“哈里斯先生，那你有什么证据呢？”“我已经说过了。
他的猪来吃我的玉米。
第一次叫我逮住，我送还给了他。
可他那个栅栏根本圈不住猪。
我就对他说了，叫他防着点儿。
第二次我把猪关在我的猪圈里。
他来领回去的时候，我还送给他好大一捆铁丝，让他回去把猪圈好好修一修。
第三次我只好把猪留了下来，代他喂养。
我赶到他家里一看，我给他的铁丝根本原封不动卷在筒子上，扔在院子里。
我对他说，他只要付一块钱饲养费，就可以把猪领回去。
那天黄昏就有个黑鬼拿了一块钱，来把猪领走了。
那个黑鬼我从来没有见过。
他说：…他要我关照你，说是木头干草，一点就着。

2) What is the symbolism of the green light that appears throughout the novel (at the end of Daisy's pier, at intersections throughout the book)?
3) Fitzgerald returns several times to describe a decrepit optical products sign -- the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleberg -- that hovers over "the valley of ashes." What does that sign represent?
4) Fitzgerald describes the world as "a valley of ashes" but often contrasts Daisy and Jay Gatsby as being spotless. What does this say about his view of American culture and of both Jay and Daisy?
Questions to Think About
1) Who do you think the characters in The Great Gatsby represent? Do they seem like real people?
Which characters seem the most real to you?
Gatsby
came from poor beginnings and created a fantasy world where he was rich and powerful. Even in his youth Gatsby was not content with what he had. He wanted money, so he managed to get it. He wanted Daisy, and she slipped through his fingers. She was part of his image for the future and he had to have her. And although Gatsby seems very kind, he is not afraid to be unscrupulous to get what he wants. When he wanted money, he was more than willing to become a bootlegger. His drive is what makes him who he is, good and bad. And it is this drive that ends up ruining his life.

Barn Burning新 高等教育出版社 美国文学选读课件
• The first scene happened in the store, Abner was accused of having burnt the barn and his son Sarty was forced to lie. From the psychological struggle of Sarty when his father ask him to tell lies, we can see that Sarty suffered a lot between his honesty and his consideration of his father’s feeling.
Barn Burning
William Faulkner
Background
The article was written after the American Civil War, which ended in 1865. Before the war, the Northern America was an industrialized society, while Southern America was a society depending on plantation and slavery system existed. Though it seemed that the slavery system ended with the passing of the Civil War, it did not really disappeared, for the discrimination towards the black people still existed.
On one hand, Sarty wanted to take his father’s order and step to be adversary（对 手、敌手） to the rich. However, Sarty finally decided to take his own idea, that is to be justice to the world, but he did not realize that life would still be no different even if he struggled against the way his father had always been. Because they were living in a society that was filled with unjust and discrimination as well as depress upon the lower class.
A Clean, ...新ppt 高等教育出版社 美国文学选读课件
Writing style:
Hemingway is famous for his literary style: simple, understated, and direct. He was at his best describing physical activity. The story A Clean and Well-Lighted Place was written in his early time, which has a typical Hemingway’s style. In the short story, Hemingway used a lot of conversations to compare the middle aged waiter with the young waiter. The sentences have only one or several words. In the short story, Hemingway also used meaningful symbols to convey deep meanings, which is worthy of studying and thinking over.
2. The Background of the Novel
Most of the works by Hemingway take the war as background, describing the pains the war brings to human being, and reflecting a younger generation’s aimlessness after the war. At that time, these works immediately won the responses from many people who survived the war physically but were afterwards spiritually and morally adrift. Then, Hemingway became the spokesman for what the Gertrude Stein had called “The Lost Generation”.

从《烧马棚》看福克纳的人道主义情怀
从《烧马棚》看福克纳的⼈道主义情怀从《烧马棚》看福克纳的⼈道主义情怀摘要：威廉?福克纳的作品《烧马棚》是⼀篇⾮常出⾊的短篇⼩说，它讲述的是⼀个⼗岁的孩⼦在⾯对⽗亲习惯⽤暴⼒发泄不满并解决⽣活中的⼀切⽭盾时的⼼理挣扎和抉择。
在细读⽂本的基础上，作者从三个⽅⾯进⾏分析，认为这篇看似充满了冲突与怒⽕的短篇⼩说其实深刻体现了福克纳的⼈道主义情怀。
关键词：《烧马棚》⼈道主义情怀尊严⼈性福克纳被⼈称为美国南⽅⽂学领袖及“南⽅⽂艺复兴”的代表⼈物。
他的创作与南⽅有着不解之缘，正是出于对家乡的热爱，他才创造出约克纳帕塔法县这个独⼀⽆⼆的⼩说王国，正是他对家乡的热爱和包容使得⼩说作品深刻⽽⼜不乏温情。
表现⼩萨蒂在⽗亲纵⽕和正义之间做选择的《烧马棚》是福克纳最初发表于1939年6⽉号的《哈珀》杂志上的，之后合并进1940年出版的《村⼦》⾥，1950年再编进《短篇⼩说集》中，并于1980年被改编成电影。
1939年⼀⾯世就以美国年度最佳短篇⼩说的⾝份获得⾸届“欧?亨利纪念奖”。
《烧马棚》讲述的是南⽅⽩⼈佃农阿伯纳带领⼀家⼈不断搬迁的窘迫⽣活。
阿伯纳是⼀个缺乏教养，处事⽅式接近⽆赖的⼈。
他的内⼼总是对雇主们充满仇恨，总是习惯搞破坏满⾜⾃⼰极端的⼼理不平衡。
他还希望⼉⼦们继承他的秉性，不时地故意在⼉⼦⾯前展⽰他⾯对权贵依然我⾏我素的态度和⾏为。
然⽽⼩说中的⼩⼉⼦沙多⾥斯是⼀个天性单纯向善的孩⼦，他的内⼼始终在⾎浓于⽔和正直之间分裂和冲突。
⼀开始他不情愿地作了伪证，后来他的内⼼在道义和⽗权的不断分裂下痛苦到了极点，终于⽆法按捺与⽣俱有的正义感，跑到少校家报信，再后来听到枪声后他的内⼼再次在⾎亲⾯前冲突，这种⼼理波动的描写曲折⽽⼜真实，正是这种⼀波三折⽽⼜符合⼈性的⼼理冲突的描写使得这篇作品深刻?p丰富⽽⼜不乏⼈道主义情怀。
福克纳为了坚定的信念⽽写作，正如他在诺贝尔奖的得奖感⾔中提到的，他⼀再重申“内⼼深处永恒的真理”，如爱、荣誉、怜悯、尊严、同情与牺牲，并认为将这样的元素融⼊作品，才能够打动读者。

Barn Burning
William Faulkner
Background
The article was written after the American Civil War, which ended in 1865. Before the war, the Northern America was an industrialized society, while Southern America was a society depending on plantation and slavery system existed.
• The second scene was on their way to find a new house. That night they camped, Sarty observed the small bunch of fire made by Abner, but he could not figure out the real reason. In fact, Abner was an army desert（开小差）, he was quite afraid to be watched even after the war. So whenever and wherever he made a fire, he made it in this way.
Though it seemed that the slavery system ended with the passing of the Civil War, it did not really disappeared, for the discrimination towards the black people still existed.
• The fourth scene is that when the rider with collarless and even bareheaded came to Abner’s house and ask him to compensate for the rug he had destroyed, but Abner did not care about it.
From the above two scenes we can figure out that at that time, the racial discrimination was still existing between white and black people.
• The fifth scene is that Abner claim to the official that the compensation was too much for him. So he once came to the store. There, Sarty defended his father by telling that “ he did not burn it…” and he also suggested to his father that there was no need to pay anything with regard to De Spain’s requirement.
• The first scene happened in the store, Abner was accused of having burnt the barn and his son Sarty was forced to lie.
From the psychological struggle of Sarty when his father ask him to tell lies, we can see that Sarty suffered a lot between his honesty and his consideration of his father’s feeling.
Characteristics of the Southern America
▪ Old South —plantation, slavery system,
romanticism, close to the nature and the life was full of joy. ▪ New South —the southern part failed in the Civil War, the southerners were influenced by the way of living style in northern part, of course ,they could not accept it, and they still went on to be absorbed in their passing living style, they were not willing to face their realistic lives.
• Abner formed in his mind that he would fight against people in different class, that isene is when the boy saw the splendid house of Major De Spain, he lost himself in the imagination of the wonderful life. When they arrived at Major De Spain’s house, Abner did not pay any attention to the old nigger who was the house—keeper of Major De Spain, he just went straight into the house and made the clean rug rather dirty with his dusted shoes. The old man wanted to stop Abner, but he dared not to touch him.

The old man wanted to stop Abner, but he dared not to touch him.
