對歐亨利小說的評價篇一
Reaction to an Article——Short 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. Henry’s 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. It’s 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 Jim's 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 Broadway’s window. After reading this article, it really gives me a big shock. In this story, the main characters all lost their most valuable things——Jim’s golden watch and Della’s 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 hadn't 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 man's 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-man——Behrman.
Though Behrman died at the end of the novel, such way of Behrman’s death is really surprising. Because we all know, his pneumonia was much worse than Joanna and his death will come sooner or later. Anyways, Behrman saved Joanna in a silent and artistic way, which truly shocked me. In O. Henry’s eyes, Behrman was a failure in art, but we might say he was a success in humanity. That’s also why I like Henry’s novel, even though O. Henry did not give Behrman too many words.
By the way, I also associate him with my parents after reading The Last Leaf. Our parents breed us and give us their best present. Just like old Behrman, who sacrificed himself, helped Joanna cheer up. Here is also another story. A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by, the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. After a long time, the boy came back.
However, in order to live, he picked all the tree’s apples and sold them for money. The boy even chopped off the branches to build his house and used its trunk to build the boat. Finally, the boy returned after he left for many years. He is too old and wanted a place to rest. The old tree shared its roots and gave the last best place to the boy. The boy is like us and the tree is just like old Behrman, our parents. So, we shall do all of our efforts to return the contributions to them. In many conditions, O. Henry's novel is so attractive and wonderful. With these unexpected but reasonable endings, Henry expresses his ideas completely—— something reflects the reality of the society. Perhaps, this might be the reason why O. Henry is so famous.
對歐亨利小說的評價篇二
Reading Henry Henry's novels, there is always a relaxed but can not wait to feel, is easy, because his story is not heavy, and that can not wait, but also because I always eager to know the truth, Look at this seems to be not logical, unexpected, but reasonable, intriguing end.
Among them, the most famous, is "Maggie's gift." In the beginning, the author focuses on the golden watch of James Dillingham Young and his wife, and the hair of Draco. He wrote: "If the Queen of Sheba lived in the apartment opposite the courtyard, one day De la will be the hair loose down, exposing the window to dry, so that the Queen's pearl baby eclipsed; if the basement filled with And when he passed by, he would work out a gold watch, so that King Solomon might be jealous with his bearded eyes. "The couple lived in poverty, but fell in love with one another, The other a Christmas gift, Jim sold the table, buy a comb, and his wife has sold his hair, bought a bracelet. At the beginning of this period, I really for the couple grievances, strenuous thought for each other to buy a gift, but became a great irony. The rich can spend as much money, but the poor have to use their most valuable thing to exchange. But as I read, I wrote, "As you know, Maggie is a wise man and a wise man who brings presents to Jesus who was born in the manger, Since they are smart people, there is no doubt that their gifts are also smart gifts, if you run into two things exactly the same, may also have the right to exchange here, I have been awkward to introduce you to the It was not surprising that the two silly children in the apartment suite were not surprised by the plain story, and they sacrificed the most precious thing in their house for the sake of the other, but let us say the last word to the present wise man, The two of them are the cleverest, the smartest of all those who give and receive gifts, like the two of them.Wherever they are, they are the smartest people. Maggie. "
Yes, on the face of it, they are most unwise to sacrifice the most precious things of their home to each other. But their love for each other is the price of money, money can not be exchanged for the truth, the Christmas gift is just a symbol, but the rally of love is indeed above the crowd. They can be called Maggie - the spread of love for the world sent the Gospel of the saints. They symbolize this valuable quality, in the author's view, this is the world's most intelligent things.
The end of this paragraph, is the European-Henry little end of the comments, but enough to see the author's praise of true love, I believe the world has the truth, the hope of a better world.
In this book, I most like, there are "noble liar" series, Jie Pu Peters and An Dai these two liars, in the "precise marriage", "charity mathematics lecture", " Art conscientiousness "and" tiger tooth extraction ", through various exotic methods of deception, and sometimes at the beginning or end, you always thought that the two will do something good while cheating, such as two thousand dollars to Mrs. Trotter To get married, or to do the school, but in the end, the money or to their hands, it is ironic. But in any case, for these two liars, but how I hate it. I think the reason lies in the following passage: "You go to church in your hometown, do worship, and behave like a decent citizen, but you come to Chicago and want to deprive others of money." Those people are the same kind of villains as you want to be today. You know, the people who sell counterfeit money is also a small old, rely on his breadwinner .It is precisely because you these hypocritical citizens specifically want to get something for nothing, only to contribute to the If you do not have them, you have nothing to do. You're going to rob the man selling counterfeit money, and it may take years to study the industry. If he gets the money, you can go to the police, and you get his money, he had no choice but to utter a silent, pawn his coat will be replaced for a change of course, he will take the money, "This is Mr. Tucker's role, and it is the inner words of Jeppe Peters. Human nature is good, no one is born to be bad, but it is precisely because these want to get something for the hypocrites, capitalists, only to make the poor people are helpless, they are forced by life, forced to cheat. The people they cheated, but also take most of the ill-gotten gains, the two use of greed, good and vanity, indolent mind, with their freedom, money and even life as a bargaining chip, to make a living, for them, What really hateful place? The author of the dark corrupt American society, is the biggest liar, is the source of evil.
In addition, there are "flashy", "car waiting time," the two articles side by side, a encounter, the real upper class to hide their identity, the poor have their own illusory into the rich, which can be seen at the time the United States The social atmosphere - money first. This trend is still prevalent in many places, is lamentable. This is the inner contradiction of Europe Henry, on the one hand, he believed and praised the true love of mankind, such as "Maggie's Gift", "Love Dedication", "Bear John Tom's Ancestral Phenomenon" , He satirized the world of things unpredictable, hypocritical cunning side, such as "with furniture rental room" "two Thanksgiving gentleman." In his pen, the bad guys have good side, and the so-called gentleman, powerful people, is the real forces of darkness. Such as "re-life" in Jimmy, "the tiger's mouth extraction" in the hardware giant. This is obviously not consistent with the logic of ordinary people can be read down, look at the community, this is the truth. Perhaps people marvel at the ingenious writing of Henry Henry, but more of a shock to the dark side of society in which we are looming but no one dares to face it.
對歐亨利小說的評價篇三
"Police and hymn" should be the text we have learned very ironic, and impressed me a very short story. Holiday is very happy to buy back this book, so when the toilet every day will be more than a pastime content.Europe Henry's novel idea, language, humor, the outcome is often surprising; and because of the description of a large number of characters, rich in life, known as the "American life of the encyclopedia of humor."Therefore, his best short stories such as "Sacrifice of Love", "Police and Hymn", "Room with Furniture Rental", "Gift of Maggie" and "Last Ivy of Leaves" Short stories. His words are lively, good at using puns, correct pronunciation, homophonic and old code new ideas, fun, be known as [tearful smile]. He also describes, creates and reproduces the atmosphere, especially the metropolitan nightlife, with precise details.
There is a unique art style called "tearful smile". Europe Henry's soul in the novel all cohesion in the end, so that the reader seems to be plain before the witty and humorous description of the sounds, unknowingly entered the author carefully set the maze, until the last , Suddenly, such as electric light flash, before illuminating the previously hidden everything, as if in the reader hide and seek, or in the play masks, to the reader the last surprise."Maggie's Gift" is an interesting article written by O. Henry. It tells the story of Christmas the day before, the poor Dela in the apartment wanted to give her husband Jim a surprise, but she only one dollar octagonal seven points, she knew that this money is not enough to buy any good gift, so she put Pride in the brown waterfall-like hair cut down, sold, in exchange for 20 dollars. Looking through the shops, Della spent 21 dollars, and finally buy a simple platinum bracelet, which can be accompanied by Jim's piece of gold watch. Jim also wanted to give his wife a surprise, he also sold the proud gold watch, bought the envy of long-awaited full set of beautiful combs for Christmas gifts.
From this article, although on the surface they are very unwise to sacrifice their home each other's most precious things, but I deeply feel that they love each other each other. They can sacrifice their most expensive items, in order to buy the best gift to each other. But the two sides to sell their precious items, then the other party's gift is not suitable for their own, and they do these things, are for the sake of each other, did not consider themselves. It is because they love each other, and is deeply in love with each other, will have such an interesting ending. Europe Henry to the short stories of the United States to bring new atmosphere, his work which has long enjoyed a good reputation, and has the world influence. Love is also intoxicating why the wine, the book can be incense I do not have to spend.
