I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases, these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer."The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.Part D: Literary AppreciationEmily Dickinson: The Soul Selects Her Own SocietyFor your reference only1. Contrasting images:"the Chariots", "an Emperor" vs. "her low Gate", "her Mat"These contrasting images illustrate the great difference of the social status between the poet herself and those in the outside world, and meanwhile indicate the poet′s disregard of social courtesy and routine obligation.＂an ample nation＂vs. ＂One＂This pair of contrasting images presents a lonely yet self-sufficient human soul.2. Yes. It is conveyed especially from the words the poet chose in lines 3-4 and lines 9-12.3. The poet may use the＂divine Majority＂to claim her equality with those most powerfulin the outer world--they may be emperors, but she is "divine Majority," and at the same time she asserts her difference from them.4. Because she has already selected＂her own Society＂, which is the＂One＂she chose＂from an ample nation＂.So, ＂no more＂here stands for those from the outside world,＂an ample nation＂.5. Yes. The poem challenges our ideas about what constitutes a social group. Consequently, the enclosed space of the soul's house is more than adequate for a queenly life, and ambassadors of the external world's glories, even emperors, can easily be scorned.6. It represents her dwelling as not a grand palace but rather a simple house.7. Yes.No. The＂ample nation＂is the outside world while the＂divine majority＂is her inner world.8.＂Valves＂and＂Stone＂.9. Valves permit the flow of whatever they regulate in one direction only: here, from outside to inside. Either of the halves of a double door or any of the leaves of a folding door are valves. Valves seen as doors reinforce the poem's house imagery, while their association with stone makes the walls separating soul from world so solid as to be, perhaps,prison-like.Prison-like because they allow no escape from the kinds of conflict, the kinds of terror, even, that must occur within.A BirdFor your reference only1)Personification. "Bit" and "ate" are the words which are employed to signify the device as birds eat everything raw.2)We see verbs "ate", "bit" in the first stanza and "drank", "hopped" in the second stanza. These words describe the bird's quick and irregular movement on the ground.3)Dickinson used both simile and metaphor to depict the rapid movement of the bird's eye.e.g. "rapid eyes looked like frightened beads"; "He stirred his velvet head".4)No. She failed and the frightened bird flew off.5)Yes. There seems a shift in the speaker's tone from amusement to awe with the shift in perspective in response to the bird's flight. The bird's flight into the air is compared to oars dividing the silver water.6)Dickinson employed simple rhyme schemes to produce vivid image. The several "o" sounds (oars and ocean) and "s" sounds (silver, seam and swim) in the description of the bird's flying away contribute to the image of flight. The blending of sounds like "leap", "plashless" helps convey the bird's smooth grace in the air, like a feathered oar.7)Yes. The subject matter is quite ordinary and conventional. It's based on a single image of a bird. However, Dickinson's treatment is innovative. She offered her observation via one image and conveyed to us her personal feeling and thought.Unit OneReading Selection One:The Ugly Truth about BeautyBy Dave BarryIf you're a man, at some point a woman will ask you how she looks.T"How do I look?" she'll ask.TYou must be careful how you answer this question. The best technique is to form an honest yet sensitive opinion, then collapse on the floor with some kind of fatal seizure.* Trust me, this is the easiest way out. Because you will never come up with the right answer.TThe problem is that women generally do not think of their looks in the same way that men do. Most men form an opinion of how they look in seventh grade, and they stick to it for the rest of their lives. Some men form the opinion that are irresistibly handsome and they do not change this opinion even when their noses bloat to the size of eggplants and their eyebrows grow together to form what appears to be a giant forehead-dwelling tropical caterpillar.*TMost men, I believe, think of themselves as average-looking. Men will think this even if their faces cause heart failure in cattle at a range of 300 yards.* Being average does not bother them; average is fine, for men. This is why men never ask anybody how they look. Their primary formof beauty care is to shave themselves, which is essentiallythe same form of beauty care that they give to their lawns. If,at the end of his four-minute daily beauty regimen, a manhas managed to wipe most of the shaving cream out of hishair and is not bleeding too badly, he feels that he has doneall he can, so he stops thinking about his appearance anddevotes his mind to more critical issues, such as the SuperBowl.*TWomen do not look at themselves this way. If I had toexpress, in three words, what I believe most women thinkabout their appearance, those words would be: "not goodenough." No matter how attractive a woman may appear to be to others, when she looks at herself in the mirror, she thinks: woof. She thinks that at any moment a municipal animal-control officer is going to throw a net over her and haul her off to the shelter.*TWhy do women have such low self-esteem? There are many complex psychological and societal reasons, by which I mean Barbie. Girls grow up playing with a doll proportioned such that, if it were a human, it would be seven feet tall and weigh 81 pounds, of which 53 pounds would be bosoms. This is a difficult appearance standard to live up to,* especially when you contrast it with the standard set for little boys by their dolls … excuse me, by their action figures. Most of the action figures that my son played with when he was little were hideous -looking. For example, hewas very fond of an action figure (part of the He-Man series) called "Buzz-Off," who was part human, part flying insect. Buzz-Off was not a looker. But he was extremely self-confident. You could not imagine Buzz-Off saying to the other action figures: Do you think these wings make my hips look big?" TBut women grow up thinking they need to look like Barbie, which for most women is impossible, although there is a multibillion-dollar beauty industry devoted to convincing women that they must try. Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm). I once saw an Oprah show wherein supermodel Cindy Crawford dispensed makeup tips to the studio audience. Cindy had all these middle-aged women applying beauty products to their faces;* she stressed how important it was to apply them in a certain way, using the tips of their fingers. All the women dutifully did this, even though it was obvious to any sane observer that, no matter how carefully they applied these products, they would never look remotely like Cindy Crawford, who is some kind of genetic mutation.TI'm not saying that men are superior. I'm just saying that you're not going to get a group of middle-aged men to sit in a room and apply cosmetics to themselves under the instruction of Brad Pitt, in hopes of looking more like him. Men would realize that this task was pointless and demeaning. They would find some way to bolster their self-esteem that did not require looking like Brad Pitt. They would say to Brad: "Oh YEAH? Well what do you know about LAWN CARE, pretty boy?" TOf course many women will argue that the reason they become obsessed with trying to look like Cindy Crawford is that men, being as shallow as a drop of spit, WANT women to look that way. To which I have two responses: T1. Hey, just because WE'RE idiots, that does not mean YOU have to be; and T2. Men don't even notice 97 percent of the beauty efforts you make anyway. Take fingernails.* The average woman spends 5,000 hours per year worrying about her fingernails; I have never once, in more than 40 years of listening to men talk about women, heard a man say, "She has a nice set of fingernails!" Many men would not notice if a woman had upward of four hands. TAnyway, to get back to my original point: If you're a man, and a woman asks you how she looks, you're in big trouble. Obviously, you can't say she looks bad. But you also can't say that she looks great, because she'll think you're lying, because she has spent countless hours, with the help of the multibillion-dollar beauty industry, obsessing about the differences between herself and Cindy Crawford. Also, she suspects that you're not qualified to judge anybody's appearance. This is because you have shaving cream in your hair.Tcollapse: 倒下seizure: (疾病的)突然发作bloat: 膨胀; 肿大caterpillar: 毛虫regimen: 养生法Super Bowl: 超级杯赛（美国全国橄榄球联合会每年举行一次的决赛）municipal: 市政的hideous: 丑恶的dispense: givegenetic: 遗传的mutation: 突变体；突变型Unit OneReading Selection Two:Sex, Lies and Conversation:Why Is It So Hard for Men and Women to Talk to Each Other?By Deborah TannenI was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living-room—a women's group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening, one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch.* Toward the end of the evening, I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands don't talk to them. This man quickly concurred. He gestured toward his wife and said, "She's the talker in our family." The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt.* "It's true," he explained. "When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she didn't keep the conversation going, we'd spend the whole evening in silence." TThis episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage.*TSociologist Catherine Riessman reports in her new book Divorce Talk that most of the women she interviewed—but only a few of the men—gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces.* Given the current divorce rate of nearly50 percent, that amounts to millions of cases in the UnitedStates every year—a virtual epidemic of failedconversation.TIn my own research, complaints from women abouttheir husbands most often focused not on tangible inequitiessuch as having given up the chance for a career toaccompany a husband, or doing far more than their share ofdaily life-support work like cleaning, cooking, socialarrangements and errands. Instead, they focused oncommunication: "He doesn't listen to me," "He doesn't talk to me." I found that most wives want their husbands to be, first and foremost, conversational partners, but few husbands share this expectation of their wives. *THow can women and men have such different impressions of communication in marriage? Why the widespread imbalance in their interests and expectations? TIn the April issue of American Psychologist, Stanford University's Eleanor Maccoby reports the results of her own and others' research showing that children's development is most influenced by the social structure of peer interactions. Boys and girls tend to play with children of their own gender, and their sex-separate groups have different organizational structures and interactivenorms. TI believe these systematic differences in childhood socialization make talk between women and men like cross-cultural communication.* My research on men's and women's conversations uncovered patterns similar to those described for children's groups.TFor women, as for girls, intimacy is the fabric of relationships, and talk is the thread from which it is woven.* Little girls create and maintain friendships by exchanging secrets; similarly women regard conversation as the cornerstone of friendship. So a woman expects her husband to be a new and improved version of a best friend. What is important is not the individual subjects that are discussed but the sense of closeness, a life shared, that emerges when people tell their thoughts, feelings, and impressions.*TBonds between boys can be as intense as girls', but they are based less on talking, more on doing things together. Since they don't assume talk is the cement that binds a relationship, men don't know what kind of talk women want, and they don't miss it when it isn't there.T Boys' groups are larger, more inclusive, and more hierarchical, so boys must struggle to avoid the subordinate position in the group. This may play a role in women's complaints that men don't listen to them. Some men really don't like to listen, because being the listener makes them feel one-down, like a child listening to adults or an employee to a boss.TBut often when women tell men, "You aren't listening," and the men protest, "I am," the men are right. The impression of not listening results from misalignments in the mechanics of conversation.* The misalignment begins as soon as a man and a woman takephysical positions. This became clear when I studied videotapes of childrenand adults talking to their same-sex best friends. I found that at every age, thegirls and women faced each other directly, their eyes anchored on each other'sfaces. At every age, the boys and men sat at angles to each other and lookedelsewhere in the room, periodically glancing at each other. They wereobviously attuned to each other, often mirroring each other's movements. Butthe tendency of men to face away can give women the impression they aren'tlistening even when they are. A young woman in college was frustrated:Whenever she told her boyfriend she wanted to talk to him, he would lie downon the floor, close his eyes, and put his arm over his face. This signaled to her,"He's taking a nap." But he insisted he was listening extra hard. Normally, he looks around the room, so he is easily distracted. Lying down and covering his eyes helped him concentrate on what she was saying.TAnalogous to the physical alignment that women and men take in conversation is their topic alignment.* The girls in my study tended to talk at length about one topic, but the boys tended to jump from topic to topic. Girls exchanged stories about people they knew. The second-grade boys teased, told jokes, noticed things in the room and talked about finding games to play. The sixth-grade girls talked about problems with a mutual friend. The sixth-grade boys talked about 55 different topics, none of which extended over more than a few turns.TThese differences begin to clarify why women and men have such different expectations about communication in marriage. For women, talk creates intimacy: you can tell your feelings and thoughts, and still be loved. Their greatest fear is being pushed away. But men live in ahierarchical world, where talk maintains independence and status. They are on guard to protect themselves from being put down and pushed around.TOnce the problem is understood, improvement comes naturally, as it did to the young women and her boyfriend who seemed to go to sleep when she wanted to talk. Previously, she had accused him of not listening, and he had refused to change his behavior, since that would be admitting fault. But then she learned about and explained to him the differences in women's and men's habitual behaviors in conversation. The next time she told him she wanted to talk, hebegan, as usual, by lying down and covering his eyes. When the familiarnegative reaction bubbled up, she reassured herself that he really was listening.But then he sat up and looked at her. Thrilled, she asked why. He said, "Youlike me to look at you when you talk, so I'll try to do it." Once he saw theirdifference as cross-cultural rather than right and wrong, he independentlyaltered his behavior.T。
