《英美文学》作业班级：姓名：学号：NO.1 Introduction about this novel“The Call of the Wild” is a novel by American writer Jack London. The plot concerns a previously domesticated dog named Buck, whose primordial instincts return after a series of events leads to his serving as a sled dog in the Yukon during the 19th century Klondike Gold Rush, in which sled dogs fetched generous prices. Buck learns from his experiences and becomes a pack-dominating feral beast. He learns lessons and relies on resurgent behaviors inherited from his ancestor, helping him to survive adversity as a ferocious animal.This book has seven chapters. At the first of it, Buck was enjoying a leisurely and comfortable life as the king of the yard in Judge Millel’s sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley. However, this life was changed by a servant here, then Buck was sent to the primitive world. From then on, his tough but exciting life began. During this unforgettable travel, he experienced the cold of Canada, as well as the competitive nature. At the end of this story, Buck met a person called Thornton, regarding this dog as his truly company. Unfortunately, Thornton was killed by the rule of the forest, while Buck came back to the original life of his wild predecessors.NO.2 Into the PrimitiveThis is the start of the story. Here, we saw an ideal scene of the Judge Miller’s garden and a ruler of every dogs and servants there-----Buck. “king over creeping, crawling, flying things of Judge Miller’s place, humans included”, and it is there he develop a health and strong body, as well as his king character(or self-advanced feeling ). However, this leisurely comfortable life was changed by one gander here, putting Buck to kidnapper as the payment of his gambling. From then on, Buck’s sorrow journey began. At the first of it, Buck was confronted with “a stout man, with a red sweater that sagged generously at the neck”. This person had gave him the first and the most important lesson in his following life with human being, which has help him a lot in his dealing with his masters.By the way, this chapter gives a very interesting plot at the end of it., which add some thing to released the cold atmosphere of the book. “At the first step upon the cold surface, Buck’s feet sank into a white mushy something very like mud. He sprang back with a snort. More of this white stuff was falling through the air. He shook himself, but more of it fall upon on him. He tried it again, with the same result. The onlookers laughed uproariously, and he felt ashamed, he knew not why, for it was his first snow.”NO.3 The Law of Club and FangAt this time, Buck was pull to the Dyea beach, where he would began to learn the real law of club and fang. For him, ”every hour was filled with shock and surprise ”. He had been suddenly jerked from the heart of civilization and flung into the heart of things primordial. No lazy, sun-kissed life was this, with nothing to do but loaf and be bored. Here was neither peace, nor rest, nor a moment’s safety. All was confusion and action, and every moment life and limb were in peril. There was imperative need to be constantly alert; for this dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They were savages, all of them, who knew no law but the law of club and fang.From Curly’s tragedy, Buck learned a unforgettable lesson for his adventure,”once down, that was the end of you” and before he had recovered from the shock caused by the tragic passing of Curly, he received another shock—his dignity was sorely hurt by being made as a draught animal.All this are not only did he learn by experience, but instincts long dead became alive again. The domesticated generations fell from him. Thus, as token of what a puppet thing life is, the ancient song surged through him and he came into his own again. That is what we called “the call of the wild”.NO.4 The Dominant Primordial BeastThe dominant primordial beast was strong in Buck, and under the fierce conditions of trail life it grew a lot. Yet it’s a secret growth. His newborn cunning gave him poise and control. He was too busy adjusting himself to the new life to feel at ease, and not only did he not pick fights, but he avoided them whenever possible. A certain deliberateness characterized his attitude. He was not prone to rashness and precipitate action. And this time, his first rival in the nature world came with the name of Spitz. On the other hand, possibly because he divined in Buck a dangerous rival, Spitz never lost an opportunity of showing his teeth. From then on it was between them. Spitz, as lead dog and acknowledged master of the team, felt his supremacy threatened by this strange southland dog. And strange Buck was to him, for of many Southland dogs he had known, not one had shown up worthily in camp and on trial. Buck was the exception and it was inevitable that the clash for leadership should come.A catching to a snow rabbit opened the curtain of fighting between the two kings. Spitz is a practiced fighter. But Buck possessed a quality that made for greatness----imagination. He fought by instinct, but he could fight by head as well. And Buck gained the final victory in this competition.NO.5 Who Has Won to MastershipAfter the death of his rival, he began to pursue the next one. He wanted, not just to beat Spitz, but to have the leadership. It was hi by right. He had earned it, and he would not be content with less.Highly as the dog driver had forevalued Buck, with his two devils, he found. While the day was yet young, that he had undervalued. At a bound Buck took up the duties of leadership: and where judgment was required, and quick thinking and quick acting,he showed himself the superior even of Spitz, of whom Francois(the dog driver) had never seen a equal.Then, a Scottish half—breed took charge of him and his mates, and in company with a dozen other dog teams he started back over the weary trail to Dawson. It was no light running or anything like that, but heavy toil everyday, with a heavy load behind. It was a hard trip, with the mail behind them, and the heavy work wore them down. NO.6 The Toil of Trace and TrailAfter many days working, they were all terribly footsore. No spring or rebound was left in them. Their feet fell heavily on the trail, jarring their bodies and doubling the fatigue of a day’s travel. There was nothing the matter with them except that they were dead tired. It was not the dead-tiredness that comes through brief and excessive effort, from which recovery is the matter of hours; but it was the dead-tiredness that comes through the slow and prolonged strength drainage of months of toil. There was no power of recuperation left, no reserve strength to call upon. It had been all used, the last least bit of it.One morning, two men from American came along and bought all of them, their harness and other things included. Then he was driven with his mates to the new owners’ camp, Buck saw a slipshod and slovenly affair, tent half stretched, dishes unwashed, everything in disorder; also, he saw a woman, Mercedes then men called her. She saw Charles’s wife and Hal’s sister---a nice family. However, these frontiers did not know how to drive dogs, nor how to live in the severe climate. They are disasters to these dogs, and also to themselves. With the cripple of the ice-cap and the scream of the woman, those gays disappeared in Buck’s world.But foe buck, this accident helps him find his new and real master------John Thornton. NO.7 For the Love of a ManThornton to him is just a dear friend. They play jokey games everyday when Buck became stronger, and in this fashion Buck romped through his convalescence and into a new existence. Love, genuine passionate love, was his for the first time. This he had never experienced at Judge’s sons, hunting and tramping, it had been a working partnership; with the Judge’s grandsons, a sort of pompous guardianship; and with judge himself, a stately and dignified friendship. But love that was feverish and burning, that was adoration, that was madness, it had taken John Thornton to arouse.This man had saved his life, which was sth.; but, further, he was the ideal master. Other men saw to the welfare of their dogs from a sense of duty and business expediency; he saw to the welfare of his as they were his own children, because he could not help it.And Buck, of course, has showed his loyalties many times. And this , as response, has just strength their friendship.。

(见书本P6)7.The term Renaissance refers to a great bourgeois cultural movement in Europe which began in the 14th century and continued to the mid-17th century. It first started from Italy and then spread al l over Europe. Originally, the term means “rebirth” or “revival”. And the movement seems to be a rebirth or revival of ancient Greek and Roman culture, caused by a series of historical events, such as the new discoveries in geography and astrology, the religious reformation and the economic expansion.Unit 21.Please summarize the story of Robinson Crusoe.2.What does the image of Robinson Crusoe represent?3.What are the features of Daniel Defoe’s fictions?4.___is considered the father of the English novel.A. DefoeB. FieldingC. RichardsonD. GoldsmithAnswer1. The story was based on the experience of a Scottish Sailor named Alexander Selkirk who had been marooned ona desert island off the coast of Chile and lived there in solitude for four or five years. After his return to Europe, his adventures became known. Defoe wrote this novel in the first person singular.This novel begins with Crusoe’s career as a sailor and a merchant, and then as a plantation owner and a slave trader. On a voyage to Africa to buy slaves he meets with the most unfortunate shipwreck. Then he finds himself cast by the sea waves upon the shore of an uninhabited island. He has to state there alone and manage the livelihood for himself. First of all, he gets back some food and clothes, a few guns and some ammunition from the wretched ship. He builds a shelter to protect himself. Then he grows barley and rice, domesticated goats and fight against cannibal savages coming from the neighboring islands, later he saves a savage from death and named him Friday, who becomes his faithful servant. In the hope of returning to Europe, he builds a boat. Finally an English ship comes and takes him back. Thus Robinson Crusoe ends his twenty-eight years’life in the deserted island. 2. In this novel, Defoe created the image of a true empire-builder, a colonizer and a foreign trader, who has the courage and will to face hardships, and who has determination to preserve himself and improve his livelihood by struggling against nature. There is also a glorification of labor, which enables the hero gradually to produce a favorable condition for himself. His resourcefulness in building a home, dairy, grape arbor, country house, and goat stable from practically nothing is clearly remarkable, which is applauded by Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This image is a criticism of the lazy and parasitic feudal nobles and a praise of the bourgeois.3. Though most of his works are written in the picaresque tradition, Defoe is an anti-romantic, anti-feudal realistic writer. His stories are all real concerns of his time: people in their struggle to overcome the natural or social environment. All his works have a very strong verisimilitude. To convince the reader of the truth of his stories, Defoe adopted the autobiographical form and made full use of his long trained journalistic skill by describing things in great detail and by using specific time and space. The following excerpt shows how Robinson makes a raft with concrete descriptionDefoe’s style is characterized by a plain, smooth, easy, direct, and almost colloquial but never coarse language. His words are much closer to the vernacular of rambling sentences without strong pauses to give his style an urgent, immediate, breathless quality, but the units of meaning are small and clear with frequent repetition so that the writing gives an impression of simple lucidity. In his novels, as in his own life, actions or people in action are stressed; there is not much plot or portrayal of characters, except the exact journalistic account of the daily, trivial happenings. In all, Defoe is not an artist, but he is definitely an excellent storyteller. He is the first important novelist in English literary history with his realistic views on novel writing that has influenced many generations.4. AUnit 3 & 41.

Both Charlotte Bronte and her sister Emily Bronte were well knownnovelists.( )3. Jane Austen is one of the male novelists who drew vivid and realistic pictures of everyday life of the country society in her novels .( )4. Jane Austen’s masterpiece is Pride and Prejudice .( )Analyze the characters:David CopperfieldAnswerC C C A B B TTFTDavid Copperfield David Copperfield narrates his story as an adult yet relays the impressions he had from a youthful point of view. Readers can see how David’s perception of the w orld deepens as he comes of age. David, for instance, is ignorant of Steerforth’s treachery at the beginning, but later readers can feel that David does not think Steerforth deserves David’s adulation. Though David always keeps the virtue of honesty, kindliness, and so on, which are considered as good virtues of human beings, he also has moments of cruelty, like the scene in which he intentionally distresses Mr. Dick by explaining Miss Betsey’s dire situation to him. David, especially as a young man in love, can be foolish and romantic. As he grows up, however, he develops a more mature point of view and searches for a lover who will challenge him and help him grow. David fully matures as an adult when he expressesthe sentiment that he values Agnes’s calm tranquility over all else in his life. In a word, in David’s first-person narration, Dickens conveys the wisdom of the older man’s implicitly through the eyes of a child.Unit 9Unit 111.

Metaphysical poetry is a kind of realistic, often ironic and witty, verse combing intellectual ingenuity and psychological insight written partly in reaction to the conventions of Elizabethan love poetry by such seventeenth-century poets as John Donne, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, Thomas Traherne, and Andrew Marvell. One of its hallmarks is the metaphysical conceit, a particularly arresting and ingenious type of metaphor.2 A protagonist whose distinctive qualities are directly opposite to, or incompatible with, those associated with the traditional hero. Such an opposition by no means implies that the character is evil or villainous but often tends to reflect the author’s belief that modern life no longer tolerates or produces individuals capable of genuine heroism, in its classic sense.V1.1) Jane Austen is one of the realistic novelists. She drew vivid and realistic pictures of everyday life of the countrysociety in her novels.2) Austen’s work has a very narrow literary field. She confines herself to small country parishes, whose simple countrypeople became the characters of her novels, but within her own field, she is unrivaled.3) her novels show a wealth of humor, wit and delicate satire. Her pots are straight-forward; there is little action. Hercharacters are like real living creatures, with faults and virtues mixed as they are in real life. Her prose flows easily and naturally. Her dialogue is admirably true to life.2. The major contribution made by the 19th century critical realists is their perfection of the novel. Like the realists of the 18th century, the 19th century critical realist made use of the form of novel of full and detailed representations of social and political events, and of the fate of individuals and of whole social classes. However, the realistic novels of the 19th century went a step further than those of the 18th century in that they not only pictured the conflicts between individuals who stood for definite social strata, but also showed the broad social conflicts over and above the fate of mere individuals. Their artistic representation of vital social movements such as Chartism, and their vivid description of the dramatic conflicts of the time make the 19th century realistic novel “the epic of the bourgeois society”.3．1. Emily Dickinson——Because I Could Not Stop for Death2. ①school is an image of childhood ;②field is an image of adulthood ;③setting sun is an image of old age .3.

Aestheticism. The basic theory of the Aesthetic movement is “art for art’s sake”. Aestheticism places art above life,and holds that life should imitate art, not art imitate life. According to the aesthetes, all artistic creation is absolutely subjective as opposed to objective. Art should be free from any influence of egoism. Only when art is for art’s sake, can it be immortal. This was one of the reactions against the materialism and commercialism of the Victorian industrial era, as well as a reaction against the Victorian convention of art for morality’s sake, or art for money’s sake. The representatives are Oscar Wilde and Walter Pater.V1. 1). effect of Civil War ;2). development of industry and trade widen the gap between the rich and the poor ;3) closing of frontier .2As a novelist, he promoted the theory of realism in literary creation. He believed that a truthful artist’s duty was to produce human nature faithfully and accurately as he saw it. In novel writing, he had the principles of characterization and typification which modern English writers are still using. Though he is not the first English novelist, he has generally been considered as “the father of English novel”3Modernist English poetry has the following chief traits. 1. Modernist poets insisted on “direct treatment of things”and on the avoidance of all words “that do not contribute to the presentation” 2. Modernist poetry has freer metrical movement. 3. Modernism introduced into poetry a much higher degree of intellectual complexity because of the enthusiasm for metaphysical poetry. 4. The modernist poets frequently made use of symbolism 5. it brought poetic language and rhythm closer to that of conversation by the use of colloquial expressions and even slang. 6, it employed irony and puns which had been banished from serious poetry for over two hundred years 7. it was often international and urban in theme.练习题第5套参考答案I 1-5 c d b d a 6-10 c c b b dIIPoe , Dreiser , Dos Passos , Eliot , Heller ,Frost , Bellow , Jade Snow Wang , Miller , O'NeillIII1-5 F T F F T 6-10 T T T F TⅣ1.

Shakespeare’s four tragedies are____Hamlet_______, _____Othello_________, _____King Lear _______ and______ King Lear _______.6. Please read the famous monologue and answer the following questions.To be, or not to be ─ that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortuneOr to take arms against a sea of troubles.And by opposing end them.To die─ to sleepNo more; and by a sleep to say we endThe heartache, and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is heir to.'tis a consummationDevoutly to be wishdTo die ─ to sleep,To sleep ─ perchance to dream;ay, there's the rub!For in that sleep of death what may comeWhen we have shuffled off this mortal coilMust give us pause.There's the respectThat makes calamity of so long life.For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,The oppressor's wrong, the proudman's contumely,The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,The insolence of office, and the spurnsThat patient merit of the unworthy takes,When he himself might his quietus makeWith a bare bodkin?Who would these fardels bear,To grunt and sweat under a weary life,But that the dread of something after deathThe undiscovered country, from whose bournNo traveler returns ─ puzzles the will,And makes us rather bear those ills we haveThan fly to others that we know not of?Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,And thus the native hue of resolutionIs sicklied o’ er with the pale cast of thought,And enterprises of great pith and momentWith this regard their currents turn awryAnd lose the name of action.1.Which famous play is the speech taken from? Who is the author of the play?1)Hamlet; William Shakespeare2Who gives the speech in the play?2) the main character of the play- Hamlet3What does the speech indicate?3) “to be or not to be” indicates to live or end one’s life. The whole drift of the speech shows his belief in a future life. This speech shows Hamlet’s melancholy and his delay and describes he faced the dilemma of action and mind.4What is the story of the play?7. Explain the term “Renaissance”.7.The term Renaissance refers to a great bourgeois cultural movement in Europe which began in the 14th century and continued to the mid-17th century. It first started from Italy and then spread all over Europe. Originally, the term means “rebirth” or “revival”. And the movement seems to be a rebirth or revival of ancient Greek and Roman culture, caused by a series of historical events, such as the new discoveries in geography and astrology, the religious reformation and the economic expansion.Unit 21.Please summarize the story of Robinson Crusoe.1. The story was based on the experience of a Scottish Sailor named Alexander Selkirk who had been marooned ona desert island off the coast of Chile and lived there in solitude for four or five years. After his return to Europe, his adventures became known. Defoe wrote this novel in the first person singular.This novel begins with Crusoe’s career as a sailor and a merchant, and then as a plantation owner and a slave trader. On a voyage to Africa to buy slaves he meets with the most unfortunate shipwreck. Then he finds himself cast by the sea waves upon the shore of an uninhabited island. He has to state there alone and manage the livelihood for himself. First of all, he gets back some food and clothes, a few guns and some ammunition from the wretched ship. He builds a shelter to protect himself. Then he grows barley and rice, domesticated goats and fight against cannibal savages coming from the neighboring islands, later he saves a savage from death and named him Friday, who becomes his faithful servant. In the hope of returning to Europe, he builds a boat. Finally an English ship comes and takes him back. Thus Robinson Crusoe ends his twenty-eight years’life in the deserted island. 2.What does the image of Robinson Crusoe represent?2. In this novel, Defoe created the image of a true empire-builder, a colonizer and a foreign trader, who has the courage and will to face hardships, and who has determination to preserve himself and improve his livelihood bystruggling against nature. There is also a glorification of labor, which enables the hero gradually to produce a favorable condition for himself. His resourcefulness in building a home, dairy, grape arbor, country house, and goat stable from practically nothing is clearly remarkable, which is applauded by Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This image is a criticism of the lazy and parasitic feudal nobles and a praise of the bourgeois.3.What are the features of Daniel Defoe’s fictions?3. Though most of his works are written in the picaresque tradition, Defoe is an anti-romantic, anti-feudal realistic writer. His stories are all real concerns of his time: people in their struggle to overcome the natural or social environment. All his works have a very strong verisimilitude. To convince the reader of the truth of his stories, Defoe adopted the autobiographical form and made full use of his long trained journalistic skill by describing things in great detail and by using specific time and space. The following excerpt shows how Robinson makes a raft with concrete descriptionDefoe’s style is characterized by a plain, smooth, easy, direct, and almost colloquial but never coarse language. His words are much closer to the vernacular of rambling sentences without strong pauses to give his style an urgent, immediate, breathless quality, but the units of meaning are small and clear with frequent repetition so that the writing gives an impression of simple lucidity. In his novels, as in his own life, actions or people in action are stressed; there is not much plot or portrayal of characters, except the exact journalistic account of the daily, trivial happenings. In all, Defoe is not an artist, but he is definitely an excellent storyteller. He is the first important novelist in English literary history with his realistic views on novel writing that has influenced many generations.4._A__is considered the father of the English novel.A. DefoeB. FieldingC. RichardsonD. GoldsmithUnit 3 & 41. Romantic age is the age of the following statements except BA humanitarian idealismB radical individualismC age of reasonD age of imagination2. Lake poets are the following poets except AA KeatsB WordsworthC ColeridgeD Southey3. Although lived in a remote rural country in Scotland, he is the real forefather of English Romanticism, he is AA.

Poetry should be in high degree of imagination.D.

David, for instance, is ignorant of Steerforth’s treachery at the beginning, but later readers can feel that David does not think Steerforth deserves David’s adulation. Though David always keeps the virtue of honesty, kindliness, and so on, which are considered as good virtues of human beings, he also has moments of cruelty, like the scene in which he intentionally distresses Mr. Dick by explaining Miss Betsey’s dire situation to him. David, especially as a young man in love, can be foolish and romantic. As he grows up, however, he develops a more mature point of view and searches for a lover who will challenge him and help him grow. David fully matures as an adult when he expresses the sentiment that he values Agnes’s calm tranquility over all else in h is life. In a word, in David’s first-person narration, Dickens conveys the wisdom of the older man’s implicitly through the eyes of a child.Unit 9Unit 111.
