Unit 2 Edgar Allen Poe

1.Who is the narrator? What wrong does he want to redress? Montresor.

Fortunato, one of wine experts insulted him, so he wanted to murder him.

2.What is the pretext he uses to lure Fortunato to his wine cellar?

He baits Fortunato by telling him he has obtained what he believes to be a cask of Amontillado a rare and valuable sherry wine.

Fortunato is anxious to determine whether or not it is truly Amontillado, so he goes to the vault with Montresor.

3.What happens to Fortunato in the end?

He was walled up alive behind bricks in a wine cellar.

4.Describe briefly how Poe characterizes Montresor and Fortunato as contrasts?

Poe uses color imagery to characterize them. Montresor face is covered in a black silk mask, In contrast, Fortunato dresses the motley-colored costume of the court fool, who gets literally and tragically fooled by Montresor's masked motives.

The color schemes here represent the irony of Fortunato's death sentence.

Through the acts, words, and thoughts of Fortunato,we know He is greedy, he was lured into the dark and somber vaults just because a cask of Amontillado.

This is also due to his bad habit of bibulosity(酗酒). He lost himself on hearing the wine.

At the same time, he was cheated by his enemy, which reflected his ignorance.

When he heard the pretended compliment from Montresor, he became very boastful and arrogant.

He was easily confused by the superficial phenomena and failed to watch out for others. He couldn’t tolerate that others were

stronger than him.

For example, Montresor always stimulated him with Luchresi who was good at connoisseur(鉴赏)in wine.

Under the impulse of vanity, he fell into Montreso r’s terrible trap.

In fact, he was careless and foolish and didn’t find that the danger was approaching him.

He looked down upon Montresor and others.

He didn’t realize his foolishness until the death was coming. Talking from the appearance, Monstresor was a well-educated and “kind” businessman.

He enjoyed the honor and respect in the city. But in fact, he was an evil and awful person.

His inner feelings were so cruel that they even made people tremble.

Under his rich appearance was the dirty soul and despicable character.

We couldn’t see any glorious virtues in his mind. Instead, his heart was cold and dark.

It was the revenge that threw Montresor into the deep evil valley.

unit 4 Nathaniel Hawthorne

1.Why is the prison the setting of Chapter 1 ?

No matter how optimistic the founders of new colonies may be, they are quick to establish a prison and a cemetery in their “Utopia,” for they know that misbehavior, evil, and death are unavoidable.

This belief fits into the larger Puritan doctrine, which puts heavy emphasis on the idea of original sin—the notion that all people are born sinners because of the initial transgressions of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. he is therefore using the prison building to represent the crime and the punishment which are aspect of civilized life

What is the implication of the description of the roses?

The rosebush symbolizes the ability of nature to endure and outlast man's activities.

The narrator suggests that roses offer a reminder of Nature's kindness to the condemned; for his tale, he says, it will provide either a “sweet moral blossom” or else some relief in the face of unrelenting sorrow and gloom.

2.Describe the appearance of Hester Prynne and the attitude of the people towards her.

The second paragraph on page 30.

The crowd in front of the jail is a mixture of men and women, all maintaining severe looks of disapproval.

Several of the women begin to discuss Hester Prynne, and they soon vow that Hester would not have received such a light sentence for her crime if they had been the judges.

One woman, the ugliest of the group, goes so far as to advocate death for Hester.

3.What has happened to Hester?

As a young woman, Hester married an elderly scholar, Chillingworth, who sent her ahead to America to live.

While waiting for him, she had an affair with a Puritan minister named Dimmesdale, after which she gave birth to Pearl.

The scarlet letter is her punishment for her sin and her secrecy. Why does she make the embroidery of the letter A so elaborate? It seems to declare that she is proud, rather than ashamed, of her sin.

In reality, however, Hester simply accepts the “sin” and its symbol as part of herself, just as she accepts her child.

And although she can hardly believe her present “realities,” she takes them as they are rather than resisting them or trying to

atone for them.

How does this tell us about her character?

Throughout The Scarlet Letter Hester is portrayed as an intelligent, capable. It is the extraordinary circumstances shaping her that make her such an important figure.

Unit5 Herman Melville

1.What are the stories Ismael tells about Moby Dick? Ishmael compares the legend of Moby Dick to his experience of the whale.

He notes that sperm whale attacks have increased recently and that superstitious sailors have come to regard these attacks as having an intelligent, even supernatural origin.

In particular, wild rumors about Moby Dick circulate among whalemen, suggesting that he can be in more than one place at the same time and that he is immortal. Ishmael remarks that even the wildest of rumors usually contains some truth. Whales, for instance, have been known to travel with remarkable speed from the Atlantic to the Pacific; thus, it is possible for a whale to be caught in the Pacific with the harpoons of a Greenland ship in it.

Moby Dick, who has defied capture numerous times, exhibits an “intelligent malignity”(狠毒)in his attacks on men

2.Why does Ahab react so violently against the white whale? First, he lost one of his legs because of the white whale. Second,He considers Moby Dick the embodiment of evil in the world, and he pursues the White Whale,because he believes it his inescapable fate to destroy this evil.

Ishmael suggests that Ahab is “crazy”and call him “a raving lunatic.” Do you agree with him? Why or why not?

Ishmael describes Ahab as mad in his narration, and it does indeed seem mad to try to fight the forces of nature or God.

3. What narrative features can you find in the selected chapter? In the selected charpter, Melville employed the technique of multiple view of his narrative to portray Moby Dick to achieve the effect of ambiguity and let readers judge the meaning.

Unit 6 Henry David Thoreau

1.Where indeed did Thoreau live, both at a physical level and at

a spiritual level?

He lived in a cabin on Walden Pond, which belonged to Emerson’s property.

2.Had Thoreau ever bought a farm? Why did he enjoy the act of buying?

No, he hadn’t.

He avoided purchasing a farm because it would inevitably tie him down financially and complicate his life.

Thoreau didn’t see the acquisition of wealth as the goal for human existence, he saw the goal of life to be an exploration of the mind and of the magnificent world around us.

He regarded the places as an existence free of obligations and full of leisure.

3.Is it significant that Thoreau mentioned the Fourth of July as the day on which he began to stay in the woods? Why? Yes, it is.

Because The Fourth of July is known as Independence Day,the birthday ot the United States.

Here Thoreau uses the day to express his beginning

of regeneration at Walden.

It also means a symbol of his conquest of being.

4.How could you answer the question Thoreau asked at the end of this selection?

Unit 8 Mark Twain

1: Why do you think Mr.Wheeler is so eager to tell these stories?

From Mr.Wheeler’s behaviors and contents of his narration we can know he is so eager to tell these stories.First, when "I" asked him to tell "me" something about W.Smiley, he “ backed me into a corner and blockaded me with his chair, and then sat down a nd reeled off the narrative”. And during the process of telling his stories, he never paid any attention to others'response to his story and just went on telling what amused him. At last when the listener felt boring and wanted to

leave, Mr.Wheeler even didn't notice it and still asked him to sit there listening to him.

2: Does his audience share his enthusiasm in telling the stories? No. the audience does not show any interest in Mr.Wheeler’ stories. In fact, the narrator was very feverish about his stories, but ,in the eyes of the listener,the stories were very boring and had nothing to do with his preoccupation. As an educated man, the listener couldn't understand the way of laborers for joy, and he would never bother himself to understand it. So after the long time of Mr.Wheeler’ solo narration and when the audience got a chance, he fled away.

3: Do you think the narrator and his listener ever suspect the presence of humor? Why? How do you interpret their interactions?

The narrator and his listener never noticed or suspected the presence of humor.During the intercourse,the narrator went vigorously on his monotonous narrative "wihout a little smiling" talking about the animals and the things like ,while the listener felt rather puzzled or bothered by his stories.It seemed to be

kind of coarse things. So the two different scenes go on separately without a intersection.

And their interaction was a complete failure according toour common sense about communication.But it in this sense produced the effect of humor which can be tasted by our readers due to the skills adopted by Mark Twain .

Unit 14 F·Scott Fitzgerald

1.Do you think Gatsby deserves to be called “the great”? Why?

(1)I think it is too complicated to simply say Gatsby deserves to be ―great‖or not.For one thing, Gatsby was ambitious, hardworking, generous and passionate. He was so extremely loyal to his love and Daisy that he could do anything to get Daisy back: he did shady business to earn money and social position; he threw luxurious parties just to draw Daisy’s attention; he could take the blame for a death that he did not cause.

(2)In this respect, he is much ―greater‖than his contemporaries. For another thing, Gatsby never realized that Daisy wasn’t the girl he loved anymore. Gatsby was so innocent that he staked everything on his dreams, not realizing

that his dreams are unworthy of him. He wasn’t sober enough to be great.

2.Does “the green light”Gatsby believed in exist in reality? Why or why not ?

(1)I think ―the green light‖does not exist in reality. Because the green light which situated at the end of Daisy’s East Egg dock and barely visible from West Egg lawn represents Gatsby’s unattainable dream. Although the color itself can be seen as hope a nd bright future, Gatsby’s quest for Daisy back is doomed to be impossible. Daisy lived in ―a material world without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dream like air‖.

(2)After five years when Gatsby met Daisy again, the miracle Daisy had lost her original glory. Therefore, there is no delaying that Gatsby’s dream would not come true. In the novel, the green light not only represents that innocent Gatsby looked forward to the future, but also means his longing for the history –his happy past with Daisy. The distinction between ideal and reality was huge. As if American dream between golden past and golden future always suffered from the realistic betrayal and crush.

3.What does Gatsby’s Schedule reveal about him and how does it relate to the American Dream?

(1)The schedule is a reflection of Gatsby’s determination and ambition. It reveals that he is hard on himself in pursuit of his goal—to be an upper-class man.

(2)On one hand, we can know that he is persistent in pursuing his American Dream-- to attain wealth and happiness through his struggle. On the other hand, he is too idealistic and naive.

(3)He tries his best to make money and learns everything required to be an upper-class man so that he can get access to his beloved girl.Money is important,but there are other barriers difficult to penetrate. The girl he loves is as vulgar and superficial as others in her circle, she is unable to meets Gatsby’s romantic fantasy. So his dream is destined to shatter, which indicates the disillusion of American Dream.

4.When you read the line “He (the man with owl-eyed glasses) took off his glasses and wiped them again, outside and in ,” what images does it create in your mind, given the novel’s

numerous references to the strikingly strange scene of the spectacled eyes?

(1)From this line , superficially, owl-eyes is a person with thick and blurry glasses who can not see clearly all the things in the world. However, we know he is actually an owl-wise observer and sees more clearly than anyone else in the novel. Owl-Eyes, except Nick, is the only friend to appear at the rain-soaked burial of Gatsby, when others are unwilling to come. He feels sympathy for Gatsby’s tragedy.

(2)After reading this line, I cannot help thinking of the Dr.Eckleburg billboard with its huge yellow spectacles in this novel. In many rainy days, Dr. Eckleburg’s eyes are also dimmed and seem blind. But in fact this is a pair of "all-seeing" eyes. The Owl-Eyed Man is similar to Dr. Eckleburg, sadly looking at the people’s life and idealism of this time. B oth of them symbolize an uninvolved spectator god. They watch all the activities of the humans. Owl-eyes is the avatar of the sightless Dr. Eckleburg.

Unit 16 Ernest Hemingway

1. How do you interpret the irony of the title after reading the story?

(1)The title ―A Clean Well-Lighted Place‖refers to the caf éin the text. The caféwas very clean and well- lighted. From the literary meaning, we may feel this place was very warm and comfortable, was a place where people need warmth wanted to go. So the old man, who was rich but deaf and lonely came here to find warmth and avoided nada. It was the only place he could go and could find some comfort.(2)However, the younger waiter was very selfish. As his wife was waiting him on the bed, he wanted to go home early. Therefore, he refused to offer the old man another cup of wine by the excuse that the business was finished. In fact, there was still an hour from closing time. The younger thought an hour was more important to him than to the old man. The old man needed to leave the only place where he could get far away from nada/ nothing. This café should be warm but the younger waiter forced the lonely and deaf to leave without any sympathy. This is the irony of the title.

2. Do you think youth and confidence can help one withstand the metaphorical dark?Why or why not? (1)I don’t think
