Sister Carrie
嘉莉妹妹英文简介
文学期末One of my favorite American novel is “Sister Carrie”. I read its Chinese version when I was in middle school. The author of the book is Theodore Dreiser, a famous realistic writer in American literature history. Realism follows the rule of nature “survival of the fittest”. “Sister Carrie” is a representative of realism, which describes a poor countryside girl’s life change after her arrival to Chicago.Carrie was born in a poor family, but she has a dream of happy life. She came to Chicago to get jobs to change her life. Carrie’s sister who has been in Chicago for years does not show much welcome to her sister, which makes Carrie feel lonely and unhappy. Carrie’s life was hard with low wages. After a period of time, she can no longer put up with such king of life. She cohabited with a salesman named Drouet, a young playboy who first meets Carrie in the train to Chicago. Drouet offered Carrie a easier life than before. However, Carrie was soon attracted by his friend, a manger of a hotel named Hurstwood.Hurstwood was also attracted by Carrie, and he cheated Carrie about his marriage. Carrie becomes his lover. However, truth will come to light soon or later. Their relationship is discovered by Hurstwood”s wife and Droute. Hurstwood went to New York with Carrie after the theft of a huge sum of money.。

Style and genre
At the urging of his journalist friend Arthur Henry, Dreiser began writing his manuscript in 1899. He frequently gave up on it but Henry urged him to continue. From the outset, his title was Sister Carrie, though he changed it to The Flesh and the Spirit while writing it; he restored the original name once complete. Dreiser had difficulty finding a publisher for Sister Carrie. Doubleday & McClure Company accepted the manuscript for publication but it was withdrawn after the publisher's wife declared it too sordid. Dreiser insisted on publication and 1,008 copies were printed on November 8, 1900. The book was not advertised and only 456 copies sold.[6] However, Frank Norris, who was working as a reader at Doubleday, sent a few copies to literary reviewers.

Sister Carrie读后感
SisterCarrie读后感SisterCarrie是美国著名小说家西奥多·德莱塞（TheodoreDreiser，1871—1945）的作品。
这部写于1900年的小说在国内好像比较小众，远比同时期的很多英美文学作品落寞得多。
本书所蕴含的某些“精神”在很多社会都会受到争议。
即便在美国也是如此。
毕竟在当时年代，女人的社会地位是非常低的，而且社会对于婚姻关系的看法也比较保守。
但小说的女主Carrie竟然在婚前与男人同居，并与已婚男人私通，后来还成为一位著名演员，实在是太挑战人们的三观了。
所以小说的初版并不算顺利，而且删去了大量的两性描写。
当然，也有的人坚持认为，这本小说突破了常规，体现了女性的解放。
其实放在百年后的现代社会，女主的这些“不道德”行为似乎也算不得什么稀罕事。
很多小说之所以能够得以流传，一个重要的原因就在于，它突破了时间和空间的界限，无论放在什么年代，什么地域，读者都能从中看到自己所置身社会的影子，能从中看到自己，以及自己身边的人和事。
Carrie不过是一个来自美国小镇的姑娘，她18岁去芝加哥寻梦，希望能够在大城市找到体面的工作，过上美好生活，穿上漂亮衣服，住上大房子。
那么女主是怎样逐步实现梦想的呢？她先是去投靠芝加哥的姐姐和姐夫，但到了以后才发现他们家竟然简陋不堪，生活也拮拮据据。
她不想过这样的日子，便试图去找份好点的工作。
但没有技能，也没有工作经验，找了一圈都没人要她，最后只能去做个类似于织布女工的工作，却发现工作环境太压抑，还要承受潜在的性骚扰，很想放弃。
正在此时，Carrie的人生出现了转折。
她在来芝加哥的火车上所遇到的一个男人让她跟自己一起生活。
于是女主便离开了姐姐姐夫的住所，过起了非婚富太太的生活。
用现代话说就是被包养了。
这个“包养”她的男人是个销售员，挣钱不少，对女主也是全心全意，但就是迟迟不肯跟她结婚。
理由也很简单，他想先做单大生意，然后风风光光地娶她。
但女主不愿意啊。
