TheSunAlsoRises_太阳照常升起读后感800字This novel describes a group of American youth living in Europe after World War I, expressing the despair of some young intellectuals after the first World War. The heroine Britt is an Englishman. He lost his family in the war. The hero Jack Barnes is an American journalist who lost her erotic ability due to spinal injuries in the war. Jack and Britt are really in love, but they can't combine. The war has left them traumatized physically and mentally, and they feel confused and weary of their lives. Two men and a group of men and women went to Pamplona, Spain, to take part in the bullfight to pursue spiritual stimulation. In Spain, Britt rejected the bitter pursuit of the Jewish youth Robert Cohen, but was fascinated by the nineteen year old matador Romero. However, after a period of time, the relationship between Britt and his family was very different. She finally came back to Barnes, and although both sides knew that each other would never really be together. The novel also describes an American writer, Robert, who thinks he has a heroic spirit and has a romantic fantasy of his life. He pursued Britt, but Britt did not like him, and felt that his ideas of life were obsolete and vain.Jack lost spinal cord in the first World War and lost his ability. He was a journalist in Paris after World War II, and he fell in love with A Shi, the English lady, Brett. He pursued pleasure and mental stimulation blindly, and kept seducing other men while he was in love with Jack. Cohen, who rejected the bitter pursuit of Cohen, fell in love with the matador, Romero, who was only nineteen years old. However, no matter how bright the toss, Jack always told her she was true to the core, the trick to play, as her listeners each love story, even in a love affair with Romero afterthe failure to rescue her from down, again the unconditional acceptance of her. However, when it comes to love, whatever his unwavering loyalty, he can meet her spiritual desire, he never fell in love with the person you. As a society, he drifted in the life stream. He is a newspaper in the overseas staff, popularity is good, either for work or for a friend, he is normal to fulfill their duties and obligations. But they could not cover up his feeble feelings.At first, there was no understanding of the role Cohen played in the sun as usual. He is not a person should be ignored, first is a Cohen biography, he made clear: at the old schools of Princeton University, was a former university boxing champion - strong, a wealthy Jewish family of innocent people, thick, especially for women or heart of the women were abandoned. Or by the woman in hand. It looks nothing wrong, an ordinary member of the middle class, but no worth write a great deal about. See later found no signs with his book the hero and that decent friends always like the misfits, the barn was good with the bulls to isolated bullock. Then I suddenly realized that Cohen existed as a reference that had not been traumatized. The wounded, is eaten war suffering, as Barnes was castrated war is a direct symbol.Hemingway said that his writing is merely a reflection of the tip of the iceberg, and I think to understand this sentence, should start from the angle of his writing techniques, because the text is an abstract expression, because of this, many factors writing will also include narration, description, thinking, comment and so on, for example Tolstoy, Kundla and Hemingway as a writer, just do narration and description, he for scenes of life, environment, dialogue and atmosphere are presented which are restrained, hedid not comment, nor to analysis of the so-called "mental world" figures, but he wanted to tell us the content has implied a huge iceberg in the sea under this approach, like the movie, which is probably why Hemingway's works are mostly adapted into film and television drama.。

The Sun Also Rises《The Sun Also Rises》is the first major novel by Ernest Hemingway. Published in 1926, the plot centers on a group of expatriate American citizens and British subjects in continental Europe during the 1920s.以往很多关于《太阳照常升起》的评论文章大都是围绕以男主人公杰克为代表的“迷惘的一代”或是海明威简洁明快的文风为主题，而女主人公勃莱特则较少有人关注，20世纪80年代以前的评论都是把她归为“魔女”、“妖女”。

In the past, most of the comments of the sun also rises centers on hero-jack who is the representation “the lost generation” or depends on Hemingway simple and neat writing style as the theme. However, there are few people concern heroine Brett, most of people regard her as a “witch” or “siren” in 1980s.1952年卡洛斯·贝克将勃莱特与荷马史诗《奥德赛》中的魔女作了比较，称她是个“美丽动人的危险人物”，进而得到结论是“总而言之，她是该进地狱的、让人致命的30岁的女人”，“魔女”一说从此确立。

爱德蒙·威尔逊也认为勃莱特是“妖女”、“有彻底的破坏力量”。

很多负有盛名的海明威研究专家，也都持类似的观点，因此勃莱特便成为文学史上最具有破坏性的“妖女”。

对海明威的老人与海的评价英文版海明威的老人与海是世界名著之一，那么对此的英文版评价要怎么写呢?下面是小编为大家带来的范文，相信对你会有帮助的。

对海明威的老人与海的评价英文版篇一The Old Man and the Sea was written by an American writer named Ernest Hemingway. It has been translated into tens of languages, and the writer was so proud of his work.Santiago, the hero of the story, had gone eighty-four days without taking a fish back. At first, a boy named Manolion had been with him, but Santiago couldnt catch even one fish. The boy had gone at his parents orders in a lucky boat which caught three good fish the first week, and the couple thought that it was definitely and finally bad to let their boy stay with the old fisherman. On Santiagos eighty-fifth day of fishing, he went out alone, leaving the smell of the land behind and rowing out into the clean early morning smell of ocean. To his surprise, he caught a tuna which he had never seen before and it was hard to believe that the tuna was bigger than his boat. Later, the blood from the tuna left a trail for all sharks as wide as a highway, so fighting against sharks was unavoidable. Theresult was that sharks ate up all the meat of the tuna and Santiago only brought the tuna skeleton back. He was so tired that he slept deeply as soon as he got home, dreaming of lions.In this story, Santiago was an old and poor widow though he was good at fishing and had so much valuable experience. He only lived on fishing all his life. At long last, he just brought the skeleton back, you may think such a fisherman should be a loser, but this result didnt mean failing. On the contrary, Hemingway used the skeleton which was the pillar of spirit to strengthen the meaning of the old mans life. Santiago was described as a perfect person who never gave up.The boy named Manolion appeared in the beginning and at the end. Even during Santiagos voyage, he always came to the poor old mans mind. He was the only person who cared Santiago sincerely, trust Santiago absolutely, and the young boy wanted to be an inheritor of Santiagos career. Hemingway not only told us the experience of fishing should be spread from generation to generation, but also expected us to admire, to learn from and to carry on the spirit of Santiago. The appearance of Manilion was not by chance, which was arranged by Hemingway. During Santiagos long voyage, how much he wished the boy could have been with him to drive hisloneliness away. Youth is the symbol of energy and hope. Even an old man can be young inside. Lions appeared several times in Santiagos dreams for they were living in his heart, which showed the spirit of Santiago would never be low.The coming of the sharks could not be avoided. They can be thought as attack which can swallow your success and happiness. The story tells me to face the problems happened in my life with a heart as wide as ocean. Though the old man was lonely, he was a traveler who walked on the road of realizing his ideals. But he was not alone at the moment, for his will was so firm. The Old Man and the Sea has won the Nobel Prize at last, which is a comfort to the writer.对海明威的老人与海的评价英文版篇二the Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world.

Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.Vessel crossed the end of the world, into the unknown sea, hanging on the side of the bow while wind and rain erosion-stricken still incomparably beautiful flag, banner, brandishing a Yunlong general words glittering - beyond the limit This is the author of Hemingways evaluation of his work The Old Man and the Sea . Life itself is an endless pursuit. Its a long road, difficult and full of bumpy, but as long as their indomitable courage and self-confidence to a heart to meet the challenge, he will always be a real winner!对海明威的老人与海的评价英文版篇三This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the mans braveness and persistence.When I was a high school student, Ive finished this book in Chinese. But when I read it in English, I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us. May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it. At least, for my part, that is true.Firstly, I would like to review some information about thisbook. Such as the background, major characters and the topic of it.The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a new classic, and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners The Bear and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.The old man Santiago from The Old Man and the Sea is a character seen in many perspectives, as a hero, an ordinary fisherman, an unlucky old man, and a wise man. Throughout the novella he is made out as a person of motivation, passion, and hope. Despite what others do or do not think he is a manof action, and not one consumed by regret. The young and old villagers view of Santiago is an important one, but not a differentiating one. The villagers are split into two groups. The older fishermen that respect Santiago and wish him luck, and the younger fishermen that see him as little more than bad luck. While neither group is particularly important to the plot, each of their views sets an ambiance of Santiago forthcoming adventure. Without their views Santiago would be little more than a lucky old fisherman. Santiago has a resolute grip upon reality and lives by it. He sees himself as a man with little direction but enough determination and experience to live. He chose not to see what others thought but instead lived by how he perceived the world. His constant struggles and his persistent resolve to overcome the marlin and himself show his earnest desires to live and fish.The boy is a crucial element to Santiago world. Mandolin is always at the edge of Santiago mind when he thinks of convenience. At times with the fish, Santiago thinks to the boy and then to his own lack of ability. He may deny it,but at times it is his relationship with the boy that both makes him realize he needs help, and compels him to go on.Christian imagery and concepts are important assets tothe old fisherman personality. He is seen as a kind man, and although expresses his frustration towards certain points, only conveys his anger towards the evil representation of the sharks. His kind, infinite eyes, and he carrying his mast like Jesus and his cross only augment his Christ-like personage. His loneliness and greatness are both shown as Mandolin is assigned a new boat after 40 days with Santiago, the same length of time as Christ spent in the wilderness.Santiago change at the end of the novella turns him into almost a universal hero. By being at sea, his ventures were never limited and the events of the story just seemed to happen. After he rebukes himself for his arrogance with the marlin, Santiago goes home and dreams of the lions playing in Africa, signaling a cycle of a child-like rebirth through Mandolin.Throughout the story many aspects can be found about Santiago personality merely by the content of his 3-day fight with the marlin. The ideology that encompasses the story is only consumed by Santiago pure will to persevere. Certainly Santiago is a man of many themes and personality traits.猜你感兴趣：1.海明威老人与海读书笔记400字2.老人与海简谱海鸣威3.老人与海读后感中英文4.老人与海英文读后感5.海明威经典作品欣赏:老人与海6.老人与海读书笔记100字。

A Book Report On The Sun Also RisesIntroductionThe Sun Also Rises is known as the first major novel by Ernest Hemingway. Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21,1899,in Oak Park, Illinois, a conservative upper-middle-class suburb of Chicago. His novel The Sun Also Rises, published in 1926, established him as one of the preeminent writers of his day. HemingwaywontheNobel Prize in Literature in 1954 for his phenomenally successful The Old Man and the Sea.Hemingway’s style differs distinctively from that of writers before him, and his workhelped shape both the British and American literature that followed it. His novel is extremely spare, succinct, and seemingly very direct, but sometimes his readers may find it’s not easy to understand his implications and meanings of unsaid words. Up to now, modern literature continues to be heavily influenced by Hemi ngway’s writing style.The Sun Also Rises is a Modernist novel, written in Mid-1920s, in Paris. It is also a travelogue and a novel of disillusionment. In this novel, Jake Barnes is the narrator and Jake tells the entire story from his own point of view with a somber and ironic tone. Jake is also the protagonist of the book. The setting time of the story is 1924. The novel begins in Paris, French, moves to Pamplona, Spain, and concludes in Madrid, Spain.SummaryIt’s a complicated story. Jake, Brett, and their friends pursue a dissipated life in Paris. Jake introduces Brett to Robert Cohn, thenBrett and Cohn have an affair. Cohn follows Brett to Pamplona. They watch bullfights and meet Romero, a matador. Jake begins his story by talking about someone else, as an observer, but we can infer much about Jake through his descriptions of other people. In his narration, Jake never directly refers to the aimlessness and purposelessness of his own life and the lives of his friends, but he often implies it.AnalysisJake, the narrator and protagonist of the novel, is an AmericanveteranofWorldWar I. He works as a journalist in Paris, where he andhis friends engage in an endlessroundofdrinking a nd parties. Although Jake is the most stable of his friends, he feels painful because of his love for Lady Brett Ashley and the void that resulted from the war. What Jake actually says always differs from what we can infer about what he actually thinks. For instance, at his lunch with Cohn, he tells Cohn not to believe him when he says nasty things, but in fact these comments are Jake’s most honest expressions of his thoughts and feelings.Lady Brett Ashley is a beautiful British socialite who drinks heavily. She is unwilling tocommit fully to any of the men, though she has affairs with a number of th em. However, she does not draw much happiness from her independence. Her life, like the liv es of many in her generation, is aimless and unfulfilling. She is also a victim of the Lost Generation’s and definitely she can’t have a satisfying life.Robert Cohn is a wealthy American writer living in Paris. Cohn had no directexperienceof World War I andhe is Jewish, so he is a convenient target of Jake and his friends.Then I will analyze some classic sentences in the novel. Through these sentences, we can know more about three main characters: Jake, Brett and Cohn.Cohn: “I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast and I'm not really living it.”Jake:“Nobody ever lives their life all the way u p except bull-fighters.”Inthis dialogue, taken from Chapter 2, Cohn tells one of the key problems the Lost Generation is faced with. After World War I, many young men and women felt their lives had no purpose or substances. Cohn worries that he is wasting his brief time of his life. Jake thinksthat “nobody” feels fulfilled in their lives, excepta small group ofextraordinarypeople.Of cour se, Cohn cannot become a bullfighter. Jake implies that Cohn must learn to live with hisfeelin g of discontent. This advice is a reflection of Jake’s character. Although heunderstandsthe troubles of the world and the people around him, he almostnever t akes actionto correct them. He simply accepts them, as he advises Cohn to do.“You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.”Jake says these words to Cohn in Chapter II when Cohn tries to convince him to travel to South America. Cohn feels dissatisfied with his life in Paris, and he believes that a change of location will change his void in his life. However, Jake knows that Cohn’s unhappiness is becauseof his decadent lifestyle, which willnot be any differentanywhere else.Many of Jake’s friends, a nd indeed Jake himself, try to cure their unhappiness through constanttravel, either on a small scale, from bar to bar, or on a large one, from country to country. Jake shows here that he knows that such travel is futile and ultimately purposeless. The discontent of the Lost Generation is psychological, not geographic.“Oh, Jake,” Brett said, “we could have had such a damned good time together.”Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly pressing Brett against me.“Yes,” I said. “Isn't it pretty to think so?”These are the final lines of the novel, presenting Brett and Jake’s final dialogue, spoken i n a taxi at the end of Chapter XIX. Just as Brett dreams that the two of them could have had a relationship, a policeman raises his baton. The barrier between them is quite clear now. Moreo ver, Jake’s slightly cynical and bitter reply shows that he has no illusions about their relations hip. Jake’s subtle doubts only increase the sadness of the novel’s closing lines. Their relations hip is revealed to have been merely a beautiful dream, andthe dream is now slippingawayforever.EvaluationThe Sun Also Rises shows the lives of the members of the so-called Lost Generation, the group of men and women who spend their youth during World War I. This horrific war setnew standards for death and immorality. It shattered many people’s beliefs in traditional va lues of love, faith, andcourage. Without thesetraditional values to rely on,members ofthegeneration that fought and worked in the war suffered great moral and psychological aimlessness. The futile search for m eaning in the wake of the Great War shapes The Sun Also Rises. Although the characters rarel y mention the war directly, it influences everything they do and say.The themes of this novel are the aimlessness of the Lost Generation, male insecurity and the destructiveness of sex. The story also shows the failure of communication, excessive drinking and false friendships.Hemingway likes to use direct, short, simple sentences. His dialogue is brief as well. This seemingly minimalist style expresses much through implication and suggestion. Hemingway’s description of the bullfight provides an example of his writing style. He does not rely on metaphor or simile to describe the action. Instead, he simply reports it. His writing, like Romero’s fighting, is always straight, pure and natural.。

CharactersJake Barnes - The narrator and protagonist of the novel. Jake is an American veteran of World War I working as a journalist in Paris, where he and his friends engage in an endless round of drinking and parties. Although Jake is the most stable of his friends, he struggles with anguish over his love for Lady Brett Ashley, his impotence, and the moral vacuum that resulted from the war. Jake positions himself as an observer, generally using his insight and intelligence to describe only those around him, rarely speaking directly about himself. However, in describing the events and people he sees, Jake implicitly reveals much about his own thoughts and feelings.Lady Brett Ashley- A beautiful British socialite who drinks heavily. As the novel begins, Brett is separated from her husband and awaiting a divorce. Though she loves Jake, she is unwilling to commit to a relationship with him because it will mean giving up sex. Indeed, she is unwilling to commit fully to any of the many men who become infatuated with her, though she has affairs with a number of them. However, she does not seem to draw much happiness from her independence. Her life, like the lives of many in her generation, is aimless and unfulfilling.Robert Cohn - A wealthy American writer living in Paris. Though he is an expatriate like many of his acquaintances, Cohn stands apart because he had no direct experience of World War I and because he is Jewish. He holds on to the romantic prewar ideals of love and fair play, yet, against the backdrop of the devastating legacy of World War I, these values seem tragically absurd. As a Jew and a nonveteran, Cohn is a convenient target for the cruel and petty antagonism of Jake and his friends.Mike Campbell - A constantly drunk, bankrupt Scottish war veteran. Mike has a terrible temper, which most often manifests itself during his extremely frequent bouts of drunkenness. He has a great deal of trouble coping with Brett’s sexual promiscuity, which provokes outbreaks of self-pity and anger in him, and seems insecure about her infidelity as well as his lack of money.Pedro Romero - A beautiful, nineteen-year-old bullfighter. Romero’s talents in the ring charm both aficionados and newcomers to the sport alike. He serves as a foil (a character whose attitudes or emotions contrast with, and thereby accentuate, those of another character) for Jake and his friends in that he carries himself with dignity and confidence at all times. Moreover, his passion for bullfighting gives his life meaning and purpose. In a world of amorality and corrupted masculinity, Romero remains a figure of honesty, purity, and strength. Montoya - The owner of a Pamplona inn and a bullfighting expert. Montoya sees bullfighting as something sacred, and he respects and admires Jake for his genuine enthusiasm about it.ThemesExcessive DrinkingNearly all of Jake’s friends are alcoholics. Wherever they happen to be, they drink, usually to excess. Often, their drinking provides a way of escaping reality. Drunkenness allows Jake and his acquaintances to endure lives severely lacking in affection and purpose. Hemingway clearly portrays the drawbacks to this excessive drinking. Alcohol frequently brings out the worst in the characters, particularly Mike. He shows himself to be a nasty, violent man when he is intoxicated. More subtly, Hemingway also implies that drunkenness only worsens the mental and emotional turmoil that plagues Jake and his friends. Being drunk allows them to avoid confronting their problems by providing them with a way to avoid thinking about them. However, drinking is not exclusively portrayed in a negative light. In the context of Jake and Bill’s fishing trip, for instance, it can be a relaxing, friendship-building, even healthy activity.The Failure of CommunicationThe conversations among Jake and his friends are rarely direct or honest. They hide true feelings behind a mask of civility. Although the legacy of the war torments them all, they are unable to communicate this torment. They can talk about the war only in an excessively humorous or painfully trite fashion. An example of the latter occurs when Georgette and Jake have dinner, and Jake narrates that they would probably have gone on to agree that the war “would have been better avoided” if they were not fortunately interrupted. The moments of honest, genuine communication generally arise only when the characters are feeling their worst. Consequently, only very dark feelings are expressed. When Brett torments Jake especially harshly, for instance, he expresses his unhappiness with her and their situation. Similarly, when Mike is hopelessly drunk, he tells Cohn how much his presence disgusts him. Expressions of true affection, on the other hand, are limited almost exclusively to Jake and Bill’s fishing trip.False FriendshipsFalse friendships relate closely to failed communication. Many of the friendships in the novel have no basis in affection. For instance, Jake meets a bicycle team manager, and the two have a drink together. They enjoy a friendly conversation and make plans to meet the next morning. Jake, however, sleeps through their meeting, having no regard for the fact that he will never see the man again. Jake and Cohn demonstrate another, still darker type of false friendship. Although Cohn genuinely likes Jake, Jake must often mask outright antagonism toward Cohn, an antagonism that increases dramatically along with Jake’s unspoken jealousy of Cohn over his affair with Brett. At one point, he even claims to hate Cohn. This inability to form genuine connections with other people is an aspect of the aimless wandering that characterizes Jake’s existence. Jake and his friends wander socially as well as geographically. Ironically, Hemingway suggests that in the context of war it was easier to form connections with other people. In peacetime it proves far more difficult for these characters to do so.Quotations1.Robert Cohn was once middleweight boxing champion of Princeton. Do notthink I am very much impressed by that as a boxing title, but it meant a lot to Cohn. He cared nothing for boxing, in fact he disliked it, but he learned it painfully and thoroughly to counteract the feeling of inferiority and shyness he had felt on being treated as a Jew at Princeton.These lines open the novel, as Jake begins a brief biographical sketch of Robert Cohn. Cohn suffers from feelings of “inferiority” because he is Jewish, and, as soon becomes clear, nearly every male character in the novel finds something about which to feel inferior.These sentences also have a noticeable tone of condescension. As the novel progresses, this condescension develops into outright hostility and antagonism toward Cohn. Over the course of the novel, we come to realize that Jake’s hostile and skeptical attitude toward Cohn is bound up with jealousies and insecurities of his own.Finally, we learn from this passage that Cohn has an intense need to be accepted. Although he dislikes boxing, he perfects it in order to better his social position at Princeton. This need for acceptance proves harmful to Cohn in his relationships with Jake and Brett, who cannot stomach his insecurities.2. [Cohn:] “I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it.”[Jake:] “Nobody ever lives their life all the way up except bull-fighte rs.”Explanation for Quotation 2 >>In this quotation, taken from Chapter II, Cohn verbalizes one of the key dilemmas afflicting the Lost Generation. In the wake of World War I, many young men and women felt their lives had no purpose or substance. Cohn wo rries that he is wasting his brief time on earth. Jake’s comfort is really not comfort a t all. He advises Cohn that “n obody” feels fulfilled in their lives, except a small group of extraordinary people. Of course, Cohn cannot become a bullfighter. Jake implies that Cohn must learn to live with his feeling of discontent. This advice is demonstrative of Jake’s character: although he understands the flaws of the world and the people around him, he almost never takes action to correct those flaws. He simply accepts them, as he advises Cohn to do.3. “You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.”Jake says these words to Cohn in Chapter II when Cohn tries to convince him to travel to South America. Cohn feels dissatisfied with his life in Paris, and he believes that a change of location will fill the void he senses in his life. Jake knows that such reasoning is nonsense—Cohn’s unhappiness stems from his outdated values and his decadent lifestyle, which will not be any different anywhere else. As with the previous quote, Jake demonstrates a unique insight into the problems and activities of the postwar generation. Many of Jake’s friends, and indeed Jake himself, try to cure their unhappiness through constanttravel, either on a small scale, from bar to bar, or on a large one, from country to country. Jake shows here that he knows that such travel is futile and ultimately purposeless. The discontent of the Lost Generation is psychological, not geographic.4. [Jake:] “Couldn’t we live together,Brett? Couldn’t we just live together?”[Brett:] “I don’t think so. I’d just tromper you with everybody.”This exchange between Jake and Brett, which occurs in Chapter VII, after Brett shows up at Jake’s home in Paris with Count Mippipopolous, encapsulate s the central conflict of the novel, which is rarely directly expressed. Jake begs Brett to be with him, but she replies that she would always “tromper” him, a French word here meaning “to commit adultery.”A wound Jake received during the war rendered him impotent, and he thus cannot satisfy Brett’s need for sex. With her words, she is telling Jake that she would have to go with other men behind Jake’s back, which she knows he wouldn’t be able to stand. This central, intractable emotional conflict forms the backdrop for the action of the novel.5. “Oh, Jake,” Brett said, “we could have had such a damned good time together.”Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly pressing Brett against me.“Yes,” I said. “Isn’t it pretty to think so?”These are the final lines of the novel, presenting Brett and Jake’s final dialogue, spoken in a taxi at the end of Chapter XIX. Just as Brett voices, one last time, the dream that the two of them could have had a relationship, a policeman raises his baton and symbolically signals a halt. The car’s sudden deceleration presses Brett tantalizingly close to Jake, echoing a number of similar scenes earlier in the novel, but the barrier between them is quite clear now. Mo reover, Jake’s slightly cynical and bitter reply shows that he has no illusions about their relationship. He seems to appreciate the fact that a relationship between himself and Brett, if such a thing had been possible, would have been unlikely to end differently than any of her other failed relationships. Yet Jake’s subtle doubts only increase the poignancy of the novel’s closing lines. Their relationship is revealed to have been merely a beautiful dream, a dream that is now slipping away forever.。

Analysis on The Lost Generation from The Sun Also Rises The Sun Also Rises is one of the famous works of Ernest Hemingway. It reflects strong youth elements. The heroes and heroines are all young persons, and in this novel Hemingway describes the suffering that the war brought to the young generation and their life after the war. .Before the novel opens,Hemingway quotes from Stein who named the generation that came of age during World War I the “lost generation.”The passage contrasts the transient nature of human generations with the eternal survival of nature: The world endures, and the sun continues to rise and set despite the inevitable passage of each human generation into death.The phrase “lost generation” is the most accurate description of the generation that passed through the threshold of adulthood at that time—working,fighting or dying in the war.The horrific conflict shattered this generation’s faith in traditional values such as love,bravery,manhood and womanhood.Without these values to relay on,the members of this generation found their existence aimless,meaningless and un-fulfilling.Hemingway’s juxtaposition of the two epigraphs produces an ambivalent tone.On the one hand, there is hope, because there will be a new generation after the aimless generation that populates The Sun Also Rises. On the other hand, there is bitter irony, since every generation is lost, in one sense because, each generation will eventually die.It is these men and woman of Lost Generation that Hemingway portrays in The Sun Also Rises.The narrator and protagonist of the novel,Jake is an American veteran of World War I working as a journalist in Paris, where he and his friends engage in an endless round of decadent drinking and parties. Although Jake is the most stable of his friends, he struggles with anguish over his love for Lady Brett Ashley, his impotence, and the moral vacuum that resulted from the war.His character typically represents the “lost generation”—wanders through Paris,going from bar to bar and drinking heavily at each.His life filled with purposeless debauchery.One of Jake’s fiends, Robert Cohn is an expatriate like many of his acquaintances.He stands apart because he had no direct experience of World War I and because he is Jewish.He still holds on to the romantic prewar ideals of love and fair play,yet,against the backdrop of the devastating legacy of World War I,these values seem tragically absurd.His value system has no place in the postwar world,and he cannot sustain it.His flight from Pamplona is symbolic of the failure of traditional values in the postwar world.When the first World War break out, the American youth who were influenced by "patriotism" and romantic ideas pitched into action to participate in the war. But after the experience of brutal killing in the war and enduring the pain of disability and the terror of death,they found it was a senseless carnage with tens of millions of people participating in this war and the millions of them are dead .After seeing the absurdity and cruelty of reality,they knew the war had destroyed human civilization, destroyed the value concept based on humanitarian morality.The war undercut traditional notions of morality,faith and justice.No longer able to rely on the traditional beliefs that gave life meaning,the men and women who experienced the war became psychologically and morally lost.They wandered aimlessly in a world that nowappeared meaningless and no longer believe in anything.Their life are empty. Jack, Cohn and others fill their time with inconsequential and escapist activities,such as drinking,dancing and debauchery.In front of the war's trauma, the young people are lost. They are lost in different dilemma: marriage and belief. They tried to express their suffering through their own way-drinking,watching bullfights and making happiness. They formed the"group language"and"moral code". All these elements meet the psychological requirement of the young generation.The war they experienced not only cannot realize their value, but also lost the spiritual pillar of their original belief. They have lost their confidence in the future and enveloped a serious sense of loss and emptiness.Their anger, confusion, emptiness, loneliness, produced a kind of weary mood which is hard for anyone to understand. So they tried to avoid the realistic struggle and participated in a variety of challenging activities with morbid arrogant and unyielding mind.They challenged the traditional moral and fell into despair and inextricably lost themselves.After reading this book, what impressed me most is the description of bullfighting which Jack and his friends have seen.The bull market, a matador fight, the winner took all. So the people just remembered the young forces,such as Romero.And some of the bullfighters are time out, such as Belmonte.They can only choose to obtain safe in the false victor, "and when he felt the greatness again coming, just a little of it through the pain that was always with him, it had been discounted and sold in advance, and it did not give him a good feeling. It was the greatness, but it did not make bullfighting wonderful to him anymore”.The bullfighting episodes in The Sun Also Rises are rich in symbolic possibilities.The multiple possible interpretation of these passages speak to the depth and complexity of the text.For example,nearly every episode involving bulls or bullfighting parallels an episode that either has occurred,or will soon occur,among Jake and his friends.The killing of the steer by the bull at the start of the fiesta,for instance,may p refigure Mike’s assault on Cohn.Alternatively,we can read this incident as prefiguring Brett’s destruction of Cohn and his values.Furthermore,the bullfighting episodes nearly always function from two symbolic viewpoints:Jack’s perspective of postwar society.For instance,we can interpret the figure of Belmonte from the point of view of Jack and his friends.Just as Cohn,Mike,and Jack all once commanded Brett’s affection,so too did Belmonte once command the affection of the crowd,which now discards him for Romero.In a large context,Belmonte the bullfighter is in some ways a symbol of the entire Lost Generation.He has no purpose in his current time and place,and his important accomplishments are behind him.He achieved great fame in his younger days,and many consider him among the greatest bullfighters.When he retired,the legends about his prowess and bravery grew.When he comes out of retirement,however,the same legends work against him.He can never live up to the image that has sprung up around him.Thus,the crowd turns on him,and he becomes bitter and indifferent in the ring.His plight shares many similarities with that of Jack and his circle of friends,people who all seem to be passing time until the ends of theirlives rather than living with any sense of purpose.The Lost Generation feels a similar kind of bitterness and indifference for much the same reason——the same cultures and nations its members served in the World War I have now abandoned them.On still another level,Hemingway uses bullfighting to develop the theme of the destructiveness of sex.The language Hemingway employs to describe Romero’s bullfighting is almost always sexual,and his killing of the bull takes the form of a seduction.The Lost Generation is the theme of The Sun Also paring with this,in the 1950s there was a widespread discontentment among the postwar generation, whose voice was one of protest against all the mainstream culture that American had come to represent.This has come to be known as the Beat Generation.Kerouac and his novel On the Road,spoke for the Beat Generation,which vividly showed what the life was like after the war,and how terrible the influences brought to the two generation.On the Road is a simple story of two young men searching for good times and inner calmness.They were confused with future life,driving a car stolen or borrowed to go across the whole country,drinking,taking drugs,singing,playing with girls.But after all those,there were only loneliness and empty left.In the novel On the road,Dean is a crazy man or mad man.Sometimes he used the accent as a scholastic.Once he drave a car for thousands of miles with none stop to meet an old friend.He also could part on bad terms just for some small business.He could suddenly fall in love with someone lovingly and loyally and suddenly get divorced.He tod Sal that men in his heart were all crazy men,he thought that those who live madly,talk madly,rescued madly and want to gain everything.All abominable deeds done by Dean is emotional crazy catharsis when American happiness met the affirmative life.This showed their zeal to life.The guy on the high way faced the death without any fear,that is,he wanted to surpass it.He was trying to use the extreme way understood by himself to affirm life of his own.Dean lived in the age of depression and drift.People had no bravery to keep their own personality.Most American bend for the desire of material,numb and lack of passion.In such a kind of society,born with a little wit and bosom was a kind of sin.Living in such a kind of circumstance,Dean and his friends were not like others.They lived like evil,facing the numerous tragic living reality.Dean was the prophet to live a new kind of life.Everything Dean said inspired people think about the origin of the spirit they were searching for.The Lost Generation and the Beat Generation are two different schools of literature movement,which appeared in different period.The Lost Generation is a literature term to describe a group of people,in the certain period of time-the First World War.During the war time,the imperialistic countries began to carve up the whole world,so they started an unjust war.American government instigated the young to join the battle.They filled themselves up with the passion and the sense of justice to enter the First World War,but were totally lost after experiencing the war.What they had seen,felt and the social reality,made them get to know the essence of the war.Wars destroyed all the old values,but they could not find a new one.They lost their direction,fooling around and doing nothing.They were indifferent to the currentaffairs,enmeshing in their own world.They deeply felt that the war was not that great as they once thought.Lives were treated as jokes.They themselves were only the tools served for the benefits of the bourgeois.They were badly deceived.While the Beat Generation appeared during the Second World War,it became a more brutal and inhuman one in history.With the arriving of the war,American people felt unprecedented dread.The American society rushed into a chaos,which made people’s mentality went into disorder.They lost their ultimate value as a man,and the hope towards American government.They turned to an extreme reaction to revenge society.But they all appeared during the war times.Both the two groups of the people experienced the two great wars,and the movements were led by the literature artists.Their works had the descriptions of death.They opposed the wars,and they held an opinion of anti-tradition and anti-war.The wars brought the two schools endless ravages.They gradually became the outsiders of their society,feeling confused to the system and value of their own times,and they were strongly criticized by people of their age.Jack,the main character in The Sun Also Rises,experienced the war.What the war has brought to him was endless suffering.All his time was devoted to drinking,eating,running with the bulls and watching the catfights.He led a kind of life aimless and disordered.Let take a look at a dialogue between Jack and his friend,Robert.“I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really leaving it.”“Nobody ever lives their life all the way up expect bull-fighters.”“I’m not interested in bull-fighters.That’s an abnormal life.I want to go back in the country in South America.”……Robert said:“Come on down-stairs and have a drink.”“Aren’t you working?”“No.”Cohn verbalizes one of the key dilemmas afflicting the Lost Generation.In the wake of the World War I,many young men and women felt their lives had no purpose or substance.Cohn worries that he is wasting his brief time on earth.Jack’s comfort is really not comfort at all.He advises Cohn that “nobody”feels fulfilled in their lives,except a small group of extraordinary people.Of course,Cohn cannot become a bullfighter.Jack implies that Cohn must learn to live with his feeling of discontent.This advice is demonstrative of Jack’s character:although he understands the flaws of the world and people around him,he almost never takes action to correct those flaws.He simply accepts them,as he advises Cohn to do.From the dialogue we can see that the life they lived was so bad.They only cared the alcohol and bull-fight.The same dialogue also made by Jack such as:“You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.”Jack says these words to Cohn when Cohn tries to convince him to travel to South America.Cohn feels dissatisfied with his wife in Paris,and he believes that achange of location will fill the void he senses in his life.Jack knows tat such reasoning is nonsense-Cohn’s unhappiness stems from his outdated values and his decadent lifestyle,which will not be any different anywhere else.As with the previous quote,Jack demonstrates a unique insight into the problems and activities of the postwar generation.Many of Jack’s friends,and indeed Jack himself,try to cure their unhappiness through constant travel,either on a small scale,from bar to bar, or on a large one,from country to country.Jack shows in this quote that he knows that such travel is futile and ultimately purposeless.The discontent of the Lost Generation is psychological,not geographic.There’s also a paragraph that describes Neal,one character of On the Road,like this:”when Neal grew up he began hanging around,His specialty was stealing cars,gunning for girls.He had become a complete wino-a wine alcoholic which is worse than whisky alcoholic.”From these word,we can find that the main character in On the Road was also addicted to the alcohol and enjoyment.So alcohol,enjoyment,and lollygag were all that the two generation going in for.They were so confused about the meaning of life,the social value and the way to go.They just wanted to escape from the environment they had fed up with.Meanwhile,they had to try hard to find a way out.The Lost Generation was indeed lost at the war time.When they came back from the battle,they found that everything changed.People did not treat them as heroes,they lost their jobs and it was very hard to find a job in that society.The society treated them as uneducated men and the young became more and more rebellious.Traditional values had gone.Their ability to communicate grew weaker and weaker.The generation gap became deeper.They felt empty and lonely.Even though the Lost Generation did not care about the society,they were not totally depraved.”Lost”was only the superficies of their reaction.They were not the anchoret of the society.It seemed that they were looking for something that would never get,but the fact was,they were trying hard to pursue the freedom of individual by their own efforts.They tried to find their lost spirits back,and they indeed loved their country and wanted to return their hometown.That is to say,they just”lost”,not”depraved”.The Beat Generation was a unique group that could be called”crazy”.Th ey took drugs,played with girls,tended to homosexuality.driven fast,indulged in jazz,naked in public.They abandoned their fame,contemned the policies,hated the policemen and often stolen purposely to stay behind bars.They were really a group of “outsiders”in the eyes of normal people.They hated big cities and they driven to the west to find the purity of human among the black.It was hard for them to believe that the society was trustable,or there was still some place that they could stay.Their action showed that they rebelled the mainstream.They wanted to stir the people’s sense of revolt by their strange even crazy ways.Their action suggested that they were rebelling rather than struggling,destroyed rather than protecting,restarting rather than inheriting.Exploring new ways of life and systems of value were their final goals.Both the two generation gave a kind of form to the American literature and influenced the USA for a long time.Their living style and concept were even imitatedby the same generation in Europe at the time.Especially the Beat Generation they influenced not only literature but also the music style and development and the ways of their next generation.Clothes,culture,also the taste of people were changed or led by the Beat Generation more or less.With the developing economy and world globalization,more third-world countries accepted American culture,economic and political system.So the young of third-world countries exerted a subtle influence on accepting the Beat Generation more or less.And part of their life style and world view become a kind of fashion and the motivation of the development about what people’s living style and interests.The Lost Generation and Beat Generation were closely connected with the two world wars.They had similarities and differences.And The Lost Generation also has its significance in today’s Chinese youth.Nowadays,the Chinese youth are considered as”The Lost Generation”,and they are being criticized by the elders all day,because they do a lot of things just like”The Lost Generation”in America which the elders cannot understand.Many of today’s Chinese youth do things to oppose the tradition,they are becoming more and more indifferent and apathetic and their desire of becoming famous is stronger than ever before.It seems that they are very happy and they do not care about anything,but actually,they are dissatisfied with their life and the society and suffering a lot in their hearts.But few people know about this and understand them.Nowadays,getting a house and a satisfactory job are so difficult;in the acquisitive society,money becomes more important than ever before and money worship is becoming more and more popular,there are unfair phenomena here and there in the society,which make people hopeless;the lack of honesty makes people difficult to trust each other,which results in the feeling of insecurity of people;and people are becoming indifferent and apathetic.The social environment influences people’s life deeply,so the Chinese youth need a good social environment.But,people themselves are the most important factor.So,the Chinese youth must do something to help themselves,too.“You are the Lost Generation.”Then,when will it be changed ?The Sun Also Rises.Will the new generation get away from the label of”Lost Generation”?英师112班钱娟凤17号。

THE SUN ALSO RISES AnalysisErnest HemingwayThemesThemes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work.The Aimlessness of the Lost GenerationWorld War I undercut traditional notions of morality, faith, and justice. No longer able to rely on the traditional beliefs that gave life meaning, the men and women who experienced the war became psychologically and morally lost, and they wandered aimlessly in a world that appeared meaningless. Jake, Brett, and their acquaintances give dramatic life to this situation. Because they no longer believe in anything, their lives are empty. They fill their time with inconsequential and escapist activities, such as drinking, dancing, and debauchery.It is important to note that Hemingway never explicitly states that Jake and his friends’ lives are aimless, or that this aimlessness is a result of the war. Instead, he implies these ideas through his portrayal of the characters’ emotional and mental lives. These stand in stark contrast to the characters’ surface actions. Jake and his friends’ constant carousing does not make them happy. Very often, their merrymaking is joyless and driven by alcohol. At best, it allows them not to think about their inner lives or about the war. Although they spend nearly all of their time partying in one way or another, they remain sorrowful or unfulfilled. Hence, their drinking and dancing is just a futile distraction, a purposeless activity characteristic of a wandering, aimless life.Male InsecurityWorld War I forced a radical reevaluation of what it meant to be masculine. The prewar ideal of the brave, stoic soldier had little relevance in the context of brutal trench warfare that characterized the war. Soldiers were forced to sit huddled together as the enemy bombarded them. Survival depended far more upon luck than upon bravery. Traditional notions of what it meant to be a man were thus undermined by the realities of the war. Jake embodies these cultural changes. The war renders his manhood (that is, his penis) useless because of injury. He carries the burden of feeling that he is “less of a man” than he was before. He cannot escape a nagging sense of inadequacy, which is only compounded by Brett’s refusal to enter into a relationship with him.While Jake’s condition is the most explicit example of weakened masculinity in the novel, it is certainly not the only one. All of the veterans feel insecure in their manhood. Again, Hemingway does not state this fact directly, but rather shows it in the way Jake and his veteran friends react to Cohn. They target Cohn in particular for abuse when they see him engaging in “unmanly” behavior such as following Brett around. They cope with their fears of being weak and unmasculine by criticizing the weakness they see in him. Hemingway further presents this theme in his portrayal of Brett. In many ways, she is more “manly” than the men in the book. She refers to herself as a “chap,” she has a short, masculine haircut and a masculine name, and she is strong and independent. Thus, she embodies traditionally masculine characteristics, while Jake, Mike, and Bill are to varying degrees uncertain of their masculinity.The Destructiveness of SexSex is a powerful and destructive force in The Sun Also Rises. Sexual jealousy, for example, leads Cohn to violate his code of ethics and attack Jake, Mike, and Romero. Furthermore, the desire for sex prevents Brett from entering into a relationship with Jake, although she loves him. Hence, sex undermines both Cohn’s honor and Jake and Brett’s love. Brett is closely associated with the negative consequences of sex. She is a liberated woman, having sex with multiple men and feeling no compulsion to commit to any of them. Her carefree sexuality makes Jake and Mike miserable and drives Cohn to acts of violence. In Brett, Hemingway may be expressing his own anxieties about strong, sexually independent women. MotifsMotifs are recurring structures, contrasts, or literary devices that can help to develop and inform the text’s major themes.The Failure of CommunicationThe conversations among Jake and his friends are rarely direct or honest. They hide true feelings behind a mask of civility. Although the legacy of the war torments them all, they are unable to communicate this torment. They can talk about the war only in an excessively humorous or painfully trite fashion. An example of the latter occurs when Georgette and Jake have dinner, and Jake narrates that they would probably have gone on to agree that the war “would have been better avoided” i f they were not fortunately interrupted. The moments of honest, genuine communication generally arise only when the characters are feeling their worst. Consequently, only very dark feelings are expressed. When Brett torments Jake especially harshly, for instance, he expresses his unhappiness with her and their situation. Similarly, whenMike is hopelessly drunk, he tells Cohn how much his presence disgusts him. Expressions of true affection, on the other hand, are limited almost exclusively to Jake and Bill’s fishing trip. Excessive DrinkingNearly all of Jake’s friends are alcoholics. Wherever they happen to be, they drink, usually to excess. Often, their drinking provides a way of escaping reality. Drunkenness allows Jake and his acquaintances to endure lives severely lacking in affection and purpose. Hemingway clearly portrays the drawbacks to this excessive drinking. Alcohol frequently brings out the worst in the characters, particularly Mike. He shows himself to be a nasty, violent man when he is intoxicated. More subtly, Hemingway also implies that drunkenness only worsens the mental and emotional turmoil that plagues Jake and his friends. Being drunk allows them to avoid confronting their problems by providing them with a way to avoid thinking about them. However, drinking is not exclusively portrayed in a negative light. In the context of Jake and Bill’s fishing trip, for instance, it can be a relaxing, friendship-building, even healthy activity.False FriendshipsFalse friendships relate closely to failed communication. Many of the friendships in the novel have no basis in affection. For instance, Jake meets a bicycle team manager, and the two have a drink together. They enjoy a friendly conversation and make plans to meet the next morning. Jake, however, sleeps through their meeting, having no regard for the fact that he will never see the man again. Jake and Cohn demonstrate another, still darker type of false friendship. Although Cohn genuinely likes Jake, Jake must often mask outright antagonism toward Cohn, an antagonism that increases dramatically along with Jake’s unspoken jealousy of Cohn over his affair with Brett. At one point, he even claims to hate Cohn. This inability to form genuineconnections with oth er people is an aspect of the aimless wandering that characterizes Jake’s existence. Jake and his friends wander socially as well as geographically. Ironically, Hemingway suggests that in the context of war it was easier to form connections with other people. In peacetime it proves far more difficult for these characters to do so.SymbolsSymbols are objects, characters, figures, or colors used to represent abstract ideas or concepts.BullfightingThe bullfighting episodes in The Sun Also Rises are rich in symbolic possibilities. The multiple possible interpretations of these passages speak to the depth and complexity of the text. For example, nearly every episode involving bulls or bullfighting parallels an episode that either has occurred, or will soon occur, among Jake and his friends. The killing of the steer by the bull at the start of the fiesta, for instance, may prefigure Mike’s assault on Cohn. Alternatively, we can read this incident as prefiguring Brett’s destruction of Cohn and his values. Furth ermore, the bullfighting episodes nearly always function from two symbolic viewpoints: Jake’s perspective and the perspective of postwar society. For instance, we can interpret the figure of Belmonte from the point of view of Jake and his friends. Just as Cohn, Mike, and Jake all once commanded Brett’s affection, so too did Belmonte once command the affection of the crowd, which now discards him for Romero. In a larger context, Belmonte can symbolize the entire Lost Generation, whose moment seems to have passed. On still another level, Hemingway uses bullfighting to develop the theme of the destructiveness of sex. The language Hemingway employs to describe Romero’s bullfighting is almost always sexual, and his killing of the bull takes the form of aseduction. This symbolic equation of sex and violence further links sexuality to danger and destruction. It is important to note that the distinctions between these interpretations are not hard and fast. Rather, levels of meaning in The Sun Also Rises flow together and complement one another.。

It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow ofKilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday. Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.My first impression of this story was from screen.It’s long long ago, maybe before I can read eng lish books.I don’t remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It’s pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didn’t think she’s beautiful. But she’s smart. However, I didn’t pay much attention to the plot.I thought it’s so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven’t read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.In fact, I didn’t understand the story at that time. I didn’t know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didn’t find where’ s the prejudice. I thought it’s normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. I’m a prejudiced person so I can’t find where’s wrong. I mer ely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.老人与海读书笔记近期，我读了现代美国小说作家海明威的小说《老人与海》。
