Once I said to myself it would be a thousand times better for Jim to be a slave at home where his family was, as long as he'd got to be a slave, and so I'd better write a letter to Tom Sawyer and tell him to tell Miss Watson where he was. But I soon give up that notion for two things: she'd be mad and disgusted at his rascality and ungratefulness for leaving her, and so she'd sell him straight down the river again; and if she didn't, everybody naturally despises an ungrateful nigger, and they'd make Jim feel it all the time, and so he'd feel ornery and disgraced.

Author: Stephen CraneWorks: The Open BoatV.Explain the Following Terms (4×5´=20´)Realism: In American literature, the Civil War brought the Romantic Period to an end. The Age of Realism came into existence. It came as a reaction against the lie of romanticism and sentimentalism, as Everett Carter put it. Realism turned from an emphasis on the strange toward a faithful rendering of the ordinary, a slice of life as it is really lived. It expresses the concern for common place and the low, and it offers an objective rather than an idealistic view of human nature and human experience. Realist literature finds the drama and the tension beneath the ordinary surface of life. A realist writer is more objective than subjective, more descriptive than symbolic. Realists looked for truth in everyday truths. The representative writers are William Dean Howells, Mark Twain and Henry James. Free verse: Free verse is poetry that has an irregular rhythm and line length and that attempts to avoid any predetermined verse structure. It is poetry without a fixed metrical pattern, having a loosely organized rhythm. It uses the cadences of natural speech. Although free verse had been used before Whitman—notably in Italian opera and in the King James translation of the Bible—it was Whitman who pioneered the form and made it acceptable in American poetry. It is to be found in the work of some 19th-century American poets, e.g. Whitman and Stephen Crane, and it has been commonly employed only since World War I, its early users including the Imagists, Sandburg, Masters, Pound and E.E. Cummings.Hemingway Heroes:"Hemingway Heroes" refer to some protagonists in Hemingway' s works. Such a hero usually is an average man of decidedly masculine tastes, sensitive and intelligent. And usually he is a man of action and of few words. He is such an individualist,alone even when with other people, somewhat an outsider, keeping emotions under control, stoic and self-disciplined in a dreadful place where one can not get happiness.For instance, Frederic Henry in A Farewell to Arms is completely disillusioned. He has been to the war, but has seen nothing sacred and glorious. Romanticism: American Romanticism: The Romantic Period stretches from the end of the 18th century till the outbreak of the Civil War. A rising America with its ideals of democracy and equality, its industrialization, its westward expansion, and a variety of foreign influences such as Sir Walter Scott were among the important factors which made literary expansion and expression not only possible but also inevitable in the period immediately following the nation's political independence. Yet, romantics frequently shared certain general characteristics: moral enthusiasm, faith in value of individualism and intuitive perception, and a presumption that the natural world was a source of goodness and man's societies a source of corruption. Romantic writers include Washington Irving, James Fennimore Cooper, Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne and Melville, etc. Such romantic writers placed increasing value on the free expression of emotion and displayed increasing attention to the psychic states of their characters. Heroes and heroines exhibited extremes of sensitivity and excitement. The novel of terror became the profitable literary staple. A preoccupation with the demonic and the mystery of evil marked the works of Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, and a host of minor writers. The New England poets, such as Longfellow and Bryant formed a different school from Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Dickinson and Poe.VI. Answer the following questions according to the materials. (1×10´=10´) Passage One: F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby. The narrator shows his disliking and disgust towards such irresponsible persons like Tom and Daisy.-----精心整理，希望对您有所帮助!。
