Analysis of Scarlett in Gone with the Wind"Gone With the Wind” is my favorite novel written by Margaret Mitchell, a southerner in the ., and the situation is described from the southern point of view. The author, used many stories she heard from her family who had lived through it, to weave this thrilling novel. It is full of dashing, daring men and women, thrilling episodes, and much romance. The heroine Scarlett in this book is so different from a traditional Chinese woman that I have decided to write something about her.'Gone with the Wind' has represented the turbulent social reality in the South in American Civil War. Scarlett O’hara is beautiful then, in order to realize her dream of living better, she regards love and marriage as a chip of trade. There’s no true love in her three marriages, until the end, she understands that Ashley, the person she bears in mind for twelve years is not her true love, but one beautiful unreal image belongs to the South in the past and does not adapt to this coming new society. The person who she really loves is similar to her --- Rhett understand Scarlett better, I divided the essay into 4 parts as . Scarlett’s GrowthScarlett's growth can be divided mainly in two periods,before the Civil War and after it.To understand Scralett,we should know the two different ways of life have a great influence on Scralett’s character. Before the Civil War breaks out, Scralett as well as other old aristocratic young ladies in the south lives an easy,luxurious life full of barbecues,balls and flirting with beaus.For a young lady who has only got 16,the life for her just means learning the arts and graces of being more attractive to men,which is also the south society’s regulation of woman.On one hand,by the diligently stubborn teaching of her mother and black mammy, the seed off the purity and tradition are buried deeply in her mind. But on the other hand,her Irish father also influences her by the Irish stubbornness,arrogance,etc.These two spirits conflicts frequently in the young girl’s mind.Just like her spreading skirts,the demureness of hair netted smoothly into a chignon and the quietness of small white hands folded in her lap, her true self was poorly concealed.After the Civil War, Scralett’s true self, which is apparently opposite to the lady-mannered discipline of the old south,crazily yield sand matures in the desolate earth after the war.Scarlett’s anti-traditional behavior is more and more undisguised. 2. Scarlett’s Character of Breaking the RulesPart of Scarlett's enduring charm for me is her aspiration to break the rules. She challenges nineteenth-century society's gender roles repeatedly, running a store and two lumber mills at one point. Scarlett is in some ways the least stereotypically feminine of women (in other ways the most), and the more traditional Melanie Wilkes is in many ways her foil. But Scarlett survives the war, several marriages, the birth of children, and even a miscarriage. Melanie, on the other hand, struggles with fragile health and a shy nature. Without Melanie Wilkes, Scarlett might simply be seen as harsh and "over the top", but beside Melanie, Scarlett presents a fresher, deeper female characterization; she lives a complicated life during a difficult period of history. 3. Scarlett’s Hopes and defectsThe other charm of Scarlett to me is that she is always full of hopes of tomorrow, life and the future. Some of her lines from Gone with the Wind, like "Fiddle-dee-dee!" "Tomorrow is another day," "Great balls of fire!" and "I'll never be hungry again!" have become well-known all around the world. She is charming and candid.The dream of tomorrow would call back the strength to live today, and the hope of future would help her to swallow all the bitterness of the present.The land is the only thing,which helps her to maintain her consciousness of tomorrow.From the beginning to the end,land Traa is always the core of Scralett’s life.Her constant care for Traa is never stopped because only from it her consciousness of tomorrow can be realized.Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything.For it’s the only thing in this world that lasts;it’s the only thing worth fighting is remained as one of the most controversial literature figures from the day the book published till now.Her bad deed,bad words and bad thoughts after the war-time appropriately reflect her natural character——mixture,she is a blending of the good and evil,of practical and ideal,of despair and hope,and of yesterday and tomorrow.She is by far the most developed character in “Gone with the Wind.” She stands out because she is strong and saves her family but is incredibly selfish and petty at the same . Conclusion From the analysis of her character, she cannot be regarded as a perfect woman. By a rough glimpse, she seems to be a rude,ignorant,and hypocritical remaining of the old Southern aristocrats.Just like other southern people,she hates the war, disgusts the new established south government, deeply recalls the previous life,together with the careless revealing of her attitude towards slavery.They become the root where the criticism derives from.However, Scarlett is real and the past doesn’t really mean that nothing has happened. Forgetting the past is to accumulate energy of the future.The purpose of Scarlett’s looking forward is to survive to fight, because that is the miracle literature has created to attract,to move,and to encourage the people wherever they are. The old are gone with the wind, while the new are gathering new strength to march on.
分析英语专业毕业论文写作
紧张而又充实的大学生活即将结束,大家都知道毕业前要通过毕业论文,毕业论文是一种比较正规的、有准备的检验学生学习成果的形式,那么优秀的毕业论文是什么样的呢?以下是我整理的分析英语专业毕业论文写作,仅供参考,大家一起来看看吧。
摘要: 由于英语专业毕业论文写作有关英美文学选题的数量比较多,因此毕业论文出现选题过于陈旧、重复研究、参考资料雷同、学术价值低等问题。通过分析英语专业毕业论文写作普遍存在的问题,改正英美文学教学的不足之处,意在探寻英美文学教学改革的新思路。
本科毕业论文是大学生在校经过四年的学习,在离开大学、步入社会之前向学校提交的最后一份答卷,其重要性不言而喻。毕业论文是衡量大学生综合能力的一个尺度,不仅考察学生掌握专业知识的能力,而且反映学生的写作能力与创新思维能力;同时毕业论文是对本科教学质量的一次检验,学生在选题、写作过程中普遍存在问题映射出专业教学的不足之处。以英语系为例,由于英语专业毕业论文关于英美文学方面的选题比较多,往往存在着选题过于集中、陈旧、且重复研究、参考资料雷同,故而造成同一选题文章大同小异的现象。通过分析英语专业毕业论文写作普遍存在的问题,改正英美文学教学的不足之处,意在探寻英美文学教学改革的新思路。
一、英语专业本科毕业论文普遍存在的问题
(一)选题过于陈旧、缺乏创新意识。就笔者指导过的有关英美文学的毕业论文来看,学生的选题大多集中在少数经典作品上,并且重复研究的现象比较多。英国文学选题集中在分析《哈姆雷特》、《简爱》、《呼啸山庄》、《苔丝》、《傲慢与偏见》等作品上,美国文学选题无外是评论《红字》、《飘》、《老人与海》、《献给艾米丽的一朵玫瑰》等。英美文学作品浩如烟海,难道除了这几部作品,没有别的作品可供研究了吗?问及学生,他们在数目众多的文学作品里很难下手的原因是:
第一、由于没有读过完整的作品,学生就选择熟悉的作家和作品来写;
第二、在英美文学课上,虽然老师介绍过很多文学作品,但因为课时有限,对作品的分析只是浮光掠影,很难做到全面和深入,只能靠学生在课下阅读和品味。学生之所以选择评论经典作品,是因为经典作品的研究文章多不胜数,方便学生参考和引用,不用为凑不够字数而担心。以《献给艾米莉的一朵玫瑰》为例,年年都有学生评论这部作品。因为福克纳是美国著名作家,有关他的研究论文很多,有大量的文献资料可供查阅;且该作品为短篇小说,与长篇小说相比阅读起来省时省力。纵观学生的论文内容,集中研究艾米莉女人公的人物形象、主题、小说中的象征因素、叙事角度等,结果学生的论文大同小异,缺乏创新,很难从新的角度写出新意,更不用说有学术价值了。
(二)论文内容肤浅、缺乏文学理论支撑。毕业论文内容肤浅这一现象暴露出学生缺乏必要的专业知识基础,没有养成科学严谨的态度和思维习惯,同时反映出本科英美文学教学的不足之处----忽视对文学理论的教学。就同一部文学作品而言,不同的人和不同的阅读视角对作品做出的诠释往往大相径庭。教师应运用不同的文艺批评理论,对作品进行分析研究,培养学生创新性思维。例如评论《简爱》,教师可以教授学生从读者批评、女权主义、解构主义、结构主义、新历史主义、后殖民主义的角度对其进行全方位的阐释。通过教授文学批评的方法,有助于培养学生的理性思维能力。
二、英美文学教学改革的新思路
(一)教材内容有待更新、增加当代文学知识。英美文学课程在英语专业三、四年级开设,多数学校选择陈嘉的三卷本《英国文学作品选读》和常耀信的两卷本《美国文学选读》为教材,周课时为两节。因学时有限,教师在一个学期很难完成规定的教学任务。现有的文学教材大都写到二战前后,很少涉及英美当代文学,这种厚古薄今的做法使得现有教材在内容上显得陈旧。英国文学历史悠久,从莎士比亚至狄更斯是英国文学的重头戏,二十世纪英国文学的比重在无形中被减少了。美国文学历史虽短,不乏有大量优秀的作品问世,二十世纪美国文学更加出彩,出现了众多一流的作家,例如菲茨杰拉尔德、海明威、福克纳、弗罗斯特等,美国文学更新的速度比英国文学快。当今英美文学课程内容与学生所处时代的差距是客观存在的。教师应适当扩充对英美当代文学的介绍,让学生更多的接触一些距离我们时代较近的文学作品。以当代英国文学为例,让学生了解并阅读戈尔丁的《蝇王》、金斯利艾米斯的《幸运的吉姆》、约翰福尔斯的《法国中尉的女人》、塞缪尔贝克特的《等待戈多》、约翰奥斯本的《愤怒的回顾》、哈罗德品特的《看门人》、多丽丝莱辛的《金色笔记本》等作品。通过介绍和补充当代英美文学,不仅使英美文学教学与当今时代紧密结合,而且可以进一步提高学生学习的积极性,扩宽学生毕业论文写作的视野,避免对经典作品进行重复性的`研究。
(二)提高教学学术含量、补充西方文学理论。现今英美文学教学采取文学史和文学作品选读结合式讲解,忽略对文学理论的传授。对文学理论在英美文学教学“缺席”这一现象,不少学者表示担忧,郭英剑指出“文学理论的‘缺席’或是‘缺失’是令人深思的”。[1]事实上,与其让学生机械记忆知识点,不如培养学生文学鉴赏的能力。因为文学作品是永远读不完的,教会学生解读作品的方法更切合实际。文学理论能帮学生掌握认知事物的方法、培养学生的思维能力。教师在授课过程中首先简要介绍不同文学时期的社会背景、主流思潮,帮助学生理清文学史的线索,然后把教学重点放在分析有代表性的文学作品并结合文学批评的方法,达到提高学生理解作品的深度和强度的目的。传统的文学批评采用社会历史的批评方法,即注重人物分析、主题分析。伴随着文学内容的多样化,该研究方法已经不能满足对文学作品进行多元化的诠释。英美文学教学面临的问题是要转变文学观念,更新文学批评的内容,向学生讲授二十世纪的文学批评流派,如结构主义、解构主义、形式主义、新批评、新历史主义、女权主义、后殖民主义等。通过引导学生用这些批评方法解读作品,[2]为学生今后毕业论文的写作或研究生阶段的学习打好坚实的基础。
(三)综合多种授课方式、有效利用网络资源
1.结合课堂陈述(presentation)和小组讨论(groupdiscussion)模式,培养学生独立思考的能力。例如讲授华盛顿?欧文的代表作《瑞普凡温克》时,教师布置提前阅读的任务,并让一名学生对小说的情节、人物、主题、冲突做简要陈述(presentation),这样做使大家了解小说的大概,锻炼学生的语言表达能力。学生陈述完毕,教师提出以下问题让全班同学进行分组讨论:
what way does Irving’s portrayal of Dame VanWinkle help to illumine Rip’s character?
dothe war and the death of Rip’s wife have in commonin terms of how Rip will live the rest of his life?
接着,每组选举一名代表发言,这样做不仅增强学生分析、解决问题的能力,而且帮助学生树立良好的合作意识和人际沟通能力;最后教师根据问题进行综合性的评价。
2.自主学习模式,有助于提高学生文学鉴赏能力。由于文学作品篇幅较长,在有限的时间内教师讲解很难做到面面俱到,因此学生有必要在课下进行延伸性阅读,提高文学鉴赏的能力。教师可以给学生列出阅读书单,学生根据自己的爱好选择感兴趣的作品阅读,凭着对作品的第一感悟写出读后感(response)。由于学生没有受到其它评论的影响,对作品的理解往往有独到之处,因此这种写作练习对学生来说是非常实用的,不仅培养他们独立思考能力,而且能提高写作水平。
3.有效利用网络资源,增加课程的趣味性。目前网络成为教师教学中的新宠,教师可以有效运用丰富的网络资源,从网上下载资料,制作有趣味性、信息量大的教学课件,巧妙结合文字、图片和影像资料,力求达到良好的教学效果。同时,给学生介绍一些教辅资料网站:涵盖相关的背景知识、文学评论文章、经典原著,提供国内外相近主题的网站链接等等,[3]学生根据自己的兴趣进行真正意义上的个性化学习。

英语专业毕业论文一般分翻译文学中西文化比较等几个大方向,当代作家的文学评论当然可以写。首先要选好写的方向,比方你是评论创作背景,文笔,人物,架构,隐藏信息,文化还是影响地位。一般选一个侧重来写。 例如你选了人物分析,然后要纵向分析还是横向对比去评论。纵向分析的话一般会用到一些心理学分析,横向比对可以用其他文学作品的主要角色加以分析。总之找准方向跟侧重最重要。笼统的像平时写书评影评那样每个写点是不行的,毕业论文一般都是要求深入挖掘
对作品的人物分析,,可按顺序从以下几点入手:1,作品的时代背景。2,作品人物性格的刻画及分析。3,作者本生的生活经历。只要把以上几点分析好,加上一些资料的辅助论证,前后交相辉映,绝对会是一篇好的论文。
