对欧亨利小说的评价篇一Reaction to an ArticleShort Stories of O. Henry O. Henry is a nice master of short story at the twentieth century in America. His unique sense of humor is full of depression and sad emotions. Due to this kind of bitter laughter, we could feel exaggerated, cynical, witty and humorous when we read them.
Throughout O. Henrys work, the plot develops unexpectedly at the end of the story. When the readers feel dismayed, they actually believe that the author really gives a reasonable end of the story. Its quite fantastic. Henry is also good at observing things and focus on details, which makes his writing lively. Anyhow, The Gift of the Magi and The Last Leaf give me an impression mostly.
The Gift of the Magi mainly tells the story that the day before Christmas, poor Della want to give her husband Jim a surprise. However, she only had one dollar and eighty-seven cents. She knew that the little money was not enough to buy a
nice present. So Della sold her long, beautiful hair which fell about her shoulders like a cascade of brown waters. Then, Della looked all over the shop, finally buying a platinum fob chain, which can be matched with Jims watch. But, Jim wanted to surprise Della as well. He sold his proud gold watch and bought her a set of combs that Della had watched long in a Broadways window. After reading this article, it really gives me a big shock. In this story, the main characters all lost their most valuable thingsJims golden watch and Dellas beautiful hair. Behind this, I saw they loved each other deeply. The love in their family letting me feel that cold Christmas Eve has become the warmest heaven just because of their gifts. It is so selfless that that they can sacrifice their most valuable things in order to give each other the best gift. I learned how to respect others love and how to love others. With this kind of love, mutual understanding between man and woman could full of trust and affection. I firmly believe that the world will have a better tomorrow as long as our hearts full of love.
The story The Last Leaf described a young couple of good friends Sue and Joanna, who
found their tastes in art, chicory salad and bishop sleeves so congenial that they joint studio resulted. Unfortunately, an
unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia, spread in the in that city and Joanna got it seriously. One day afternoon, Joanna was desperately looking out of the window and was counting the leaves on the ivy tree. She firmly convinced that she would leave the world after the last leaf fell. She hadnt any passion for the future life. Sue has no other better way but to ask help from Mr. Behrman, an old poor artist who lived on the ground floor beneath them, was a failure in art. He has always wanted to paint a masterpiece, but had never begun it. At the beginning, he was very scornful about this frustrated girl who was giving up her life after hearing of the last leaf story from Sue.
Actually,in this old mans feeling inside, he earnestly wanted to save this poor and young girl. He painted the last vivid and lovely leaf throughout a dreadful night. Finally, this masterpiece has been completed and Joanna was full of hope again. However, Mr. Behrman died because of the Pneumonia. The story ended here, but, the sincere friendship would never stop forever because it is hovered in the readers heart. Let us respect this best art-manBehrman.
Though Behrman died at the end of the novel, such way of Behrmans death is really surprising. Because we all know, his
