this?答案:First of all,by using repetition,the poet wants to express his strong love for his homeland.Secondly,repetition can also help to leave a deep impression on readers'mind,which will be easy for readers to remember.Thirdly,repetition also shows the songlike quality of this poem.2.What do you know about"lost generation."?答案:Tips:American poet Gertrude Stein actually coined the expression "lost generation."Speaking to Ernest Hemingway,she said,"you are all a lost generation."The term stuck and the mystique surrounding these individuals continues to fascinate us.Full of youthful idealism,these individuals sought the meaning of life,drank excessively,had love affairs and created some of the finest American literature to date.There were many literary artists involved in the groups known as the Lost Generation.The three best known are F.Scott Fitzgerald,Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos.Others usually included among the list are:Sherwood Anderson,Kay Boyle,Hart Crane,Ford Maddox Ford and Zelda Fitzgerald.3.Why does Hamlet hesitate before taking decisive action?答案:This is decided by Hamlet’s character.He is an indecisive person.Also,as a representative of

revenge on him.4.Please list the Major Characters of David Copperfield.答案:David Copperfield:The hero of the novel.The novel depict s David’s life experiences from an innocent boy to a famou s

is in fact a pretty and empty-headed child when she and David got marri ed.Agnes:David’s friend from childhood who really unders tands David.They got married after Dora’s death.5.How does the poet depict the host of daffodils in I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud?答案:First,the poet tells us where he finds the host of daffodils(i.e. "Beside the lake,beneath the trees");then he goes on to depict the colour (i.e.golden),the quantity("Ten thousand saw I at a glance"),the movement("Fluttering and dancing in the breeze","Tossing their heads in sprightly dance")of the daffodils.6.The literary school of naturalism was quite popular in the late 19th century.What are the major characteristics of naturalism?答案:Naturalism is one school of realism where the author's tone in writing becomes less serious and less sympathetic but more ironic and more pesimistic.The American naturalism accepted the more negative implication of Darwin's evolutionary theory and used it to account for the behavior of theose characters in literary works who conceived as more or less complex combinations of inherited attributes,their habits conditioned by social and economic forces.They chose their subjects from the lower ranks of society,and portrayed misery and poverty of the'underdogs'who were deomostrably victims of society and nature.One of the most familiarcially as an explanation of sexual desire,Articically naturalistic writings are usually unpolished in language,lacking in academic skills and unwieldy in structure.Philosophically,the naturalists believe that the realand true is always partially hidden form the eyes of the individual,or beyond his control.7.Why is the story of David Copperfield told from David’s point of view?答案:The novel is told in the first person,through the mouth of its hero, David.By using the first person narrator,the author gains a number of advantages.First,the incidents can be presented in a very convincing fashion.Readers tend to believe the things told by David.Also it helps the author to select details.Only the events and details that David could have seen and experienced can logically be introduced into the story. Another advantage of first-person narration is that the narrator’s limited view may create the effect of suspense.8.Why is Jane Eyre one of the most popular and important novels of the Victorian Age?答案:The novel Jane Eyre is noted for its sharp criticism of the existing society.For example,the religious hypocrisy of charity school where girls are trained,through constant starvation and humiliation,to be humble slaves.Also the social discrimination Jane experiences as a governess at Thornfield,and the false social convention as concerning love and marriage.In the later half of the20th century,literary critics also noted another poor figure in this novel,Mr.Rochester’s mad wife, who has been neglected both by characters in the novel and common readers. The images of women in this novel is worth further study.9.Please explain the originate of the Renaissance.答案:Tips:According to Hawthorne,"There is evil in every human heart, which may remain latent,perhaps,through the whole life;but circumstances may rouse it to activity."A piece of literary work should "show how we are all wronged and wrongers,and avenge one another."So in almost every book he wrote,Hawthorne discusses sin and evil.In"Young Goodman Brown",he sets out to prove that everyone possesses some evil secret."The Minister's Black Veil"goes further to suggest that everyone tries to hold the evil secret from one another in the way the minister tries to convince his people with his black veil."The Birthmark"drives home symbolically Hawthorne's point that evil is man's birthmark, something he is born with.10.Please explain the originate of the Renaissance.答案:Tips:Renaissance marks a transition from the medieval to th e modern world.Generally,it refers to the period between the14th and mid17th centuries.It first started from Ital y with the flowering of painting,sculpture and literature, and then spread all over Europe.The renaissance means“r ebirth”or“revival”,it is actually a movement stimulated by a series of historical events,such as the rediscovery of ancient Roman and Greek culture,the new discoveries in geography and astrology,the religious reformation and the economic expansion.In this period,the European humanist thi nkers and scholars made attempts to get rid of those old f eudalist ideas in medieval Europe,to introduce new ideas th at expressed the interests of the rising bourgeoisie,and to recover the purity of the early church from the corruption of the Roman Catholic Church。
