写作核心提示:
Okay, writing a book report or reflection on "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens requires careful thought to capture the depth and complexity of the novel. Here are key points to consider and注意 (zhùyì - pay attention to) when writing your reflection essay:
"1. Understand the Core Themes:" Dickens explores several profound themes in "Great Expectations." Make sure you have identified and can discuss some of the most important ones. Focus on themes that resonate with you or seem most significant. Key examples include: "Ambition vs. Morality:" Pip's desire for social advancement and wealth clashes with his sense of right and wrong. "Social Class and Mobility:" The rigid class structure of Victorian England and Pip's experiences with different social strata. "Love and Companionship:" The nature of true love versus superficial affection (Estella vs. Herbert). "Redemption and Guilt:" Pip's journey towards self-awareness, recognizing his mistakes, and seeking redemption. "The Nature of Wealth:" Whether wealth brings happiness or only leads to disappointment and moral corruption. "Good vs. Evil:" The presence of both admirable and flawed characters representing different aspects of these concepts.
"2. Analyze Characters Thoroughly:" Characters are central to this novel. Go beyond simple descriptions. Analyze their motivations, development (character arcs), strengths, weaknesses, and how they influence the plot and themes
In London, Pip meets new friends and disdains his family and former friends. Later his sister dies, and he attends her funeral, feeling bad for the way he treated her. A few years pass, and one night someone forces his way into Pip’s room. It is the convict Magwitch. He announces, to Pip’s disbelief, that he is the source of Pip’s fortune, not Miss Havisham. He tells Pip he was so moved by Pip’s kindness that he wanted to make Pip a gentleman. It’s why Magwitch worked to make a fortune as a sheep farmer in Australia. Still considered a criminal, Magwitch is on the run and needs to escape London.
在伦敦时,匹普结交了新朋友,却鄙视自己的家人和老友。后来,匹普的姐姐过世,他参加了葬礼,因自己对待姐姐的方式而感到愧疚。几年后的一个夜里,有个人闯进匹普的房间。那个人正是逃犯麦格维奇。令皮普难以置信的是,麦格维奇宣称匹普的财产是他给的,而不是哈维森小姐。他告诉匹普由于自己深受他好心帮助的感动,因此想帮他成为一名绅士。这是麦格维奇会在澳大利亚做牧羊人而致富的原因。由于麦格维奇仍是囚犯,现正处于逃亡的状态,因此需要尽快逃离伦敦。
Pip tries to secretly take Magwitch down the river in a small boat to escape. But the police catch them. Magwitch is sentenced to death; Pip loses his fortune, and Magwitch dies in prison.
匹普设法偷偷带着麦格维奇划着小船顺流而下以便逃跑,但是警察抓到了他们。麦格维奇被判死刑,匹普失去财产,最后麦格维奇在狱中身亡。
Pip goes abroad to work as a trader. Years later he returns and finds Estella in the ruined garden at Satis House. Her husband has died and her coldness has turned into sad kindness. Pip and Estella leave the garden hand in hand.
匹普转而前往国外经商。数年后,他回到英国并在毁损荒芜的萨蒂斯庄园的花园里遇见艾丝黛拉。艾丝黛拉的丈夫过世了,而她以往的冷漠已转变成带着悲伤的善意。匹普和艾丝黛拉手牵着手离开了花园。
今天读到的这本章节小说《Great expection》,给我的印象最深的就是expection这个词,意思是希望,愿望,期待等,对的,这本书说的就是一个男孩内心的渴望。
pip和他喜欢的富家小姐estela
讲的是一个小男孩Pip,爱上一个高傲的女孩,因此想要过上绅士的生活,而不想过铁匠的生活的故事。
当我看完章节说,到网络上搜索了一下,原来是英国作家狄更斯晚年写的长篇小说《远大前程》又译《孤星血泪》,
小铁匠pip,向往着成为有钱人,过上绅士的生活
故事其实很简单,PIP其实也像大部分普通人的心理一样,嫌贫爱富。
小时候巨大的落差,让他萌生了这样的想法。
原本他只是一个失去父母,靠着姐姐照顾的小孩,姐姐和一个铁匠joe结婚了,像对待朋友一样对待pip,如果按照这样的剧本发展下去,pip也会成为一个勤劳朴实的铁匠。
但是,有一次,一个逃犯威胁pip,让他送一些食物与锉刀过来,善良诚实的pip帮助了他。为将来pip命运的改变埋下了伏笔。
有一天,村里有一个很有钱的老女人,让人叫pip到她的庄园玩,在那里,pip看到了他的白月光estela,但是estela怎么可能喜欢一个穷小子。其实那个老女人的意思很简单,就是让pip爱上estela,并且让estala无情的抛弃他。因为那个老女人年轻时,在婚礼当天新郎跑了,老女人身上的那件婚纱就没有脱过。她想以同样的方式复制给别人,让别人也尝尝被抛弃的滋味,这个老女人的心态大家去体会一下。(是不是自己不幸福,也不希望别人幸福呀)
之后,老女人就让pip不要来庄园了,pip重新过上了铁匠的生活,就是这种强烈的落差,让原本平静的pip希望自己有一天能过过上绅士的生活。这样就能配得上estela。但是命运只能让pip成为一个脏兮兮的卖苦力的铁匠,随着日子一天一天过去,pip其实已经无奈的接受了这样的现实。
可是命运似乎突然对他开了嗯,突然有人暗中资助他到伦敦求学,成为一名他渴望的绅士,在那里,他过上了随心所欲,纸醉金迷的上层生活,他甚至不愿意见铁匠姐夫Joe,觉得有失身份。
而他一直以为资助他的人是那个庄园的老女人。
但是他错了,资助他的人其实是他小时候帮助过的那个逃犯,逃犯逃到国外,发了财,就资助了pip。
后来逃犯被抓,pip失去了所有的资助,并且还欠了债,他病倒了,没想到来照顾他,并且帮他还掉债务的人居然是那个他一直看不上眼的姐夫Joe。
pip的人性回归,开始努力工作,自我谋生。最后抱得美人归。
great expectation 远大前程,
其实每个人内心都有美好的愿望,也希望自己能够突破阶层,过上有钱有地位的高端生活,但是也不尽然,有的人就追求宁静平和的朴实无华的生活。那么,你的愿望是什么呢?留言告诉我
