欧亨利的个人及作品英语介绍
欧亨利的个人及作品英语介绍O.Henry’s writing stylesO.Henry is one of the American famous short-story writers. His novels expose the darkness of capitalism from different angles, describe the difficult life of lower class, praise their sincere friendship, love and desire to blessed life. He always write a comedy ending to express deep social meaning, serious social reality and higher level. Furthermore, it points out the inevitability.As we al l know O.Henry’s ending is always unexpected. He will suddenly change the inner world of the figures in an unbelievable way, or reverse the fate of the hero. In most time, it will make people feel in track, but the majority will think it reasonable after a while, such as “The Cop and the Anthem”. In the passage, Souby wanted to be in a prison so he made troubles outside. However, his hopes always were defeated. When Souby was reclaimed by the Anthem and decided to live a new life. Unfortunately, policemen put him into prison on some trumped-up charge. When all people assume he will be safe through life, policemen took him to a court. This is a typical O.Henry’s ending, which puts people into a dark hole with thinking deeply. And yet O.Henry just use this way to reflect the reality of being unable to distinguish the good from the bad.The artistic effects of O.Henry’s ending does not always appear in the end. For example, there are two plots in the “The Cop and the Anthem”. One is that Soupy molested a woman, but in an opposite manner, the woman molested him. The other is that Soupy took away a cus tomer’s illegal umbrella. Both a simple and attractive woman and a well-dressed customer give readers a decent feeling, but in fact, they are not the people whatwe are thinking. I believer everyone will think it is incredible like me. Only if we think carefully is it normal. After all, those people really exist in our society. Is everyone in upper-class noble, kind and well-behaved? Of course not, someone just put their dirty behaviors under their beautiful mask. In order to express the inner dirtiness, O.Henry had to decorate a lot in the passage. Although what it is isn’t as how it is, in short, it is reasonable. O.Henry’s ending exposed the public morals going from bad to worse of capitalism in the humors.。

欧亨利简介（Ohenryintroduction）
欧亨利简介（Ohenry introduction）O Henry (O Henry, 1862 ~ 1910), formerly known as William Sidney Porter (WilliamsydneyPorter), is one of the most famous American novelist, was praised by critics as Manhattan crown prose writer and the father of modern American short stories. He was born in Greensboro, North Carolina town of a family physician. His life is rich in the legend, the pharmacy apprentice cattle people, accountants and Land Bureau clerk, journalists, bank teller. When the bank teller, because the bank shortage of cash, in order to avoid interrogation, left home in exile in Honduras, China and america. Jailed for visiting his critically ill wife, he was jailed and served as a pharmacist in the prison clinic. When he worked in the bank, he had written experience and worked as a pharmacist in the prison clinic and began to write seriously. Prior to his release in 1901, he moved to New York to specialize in writing.O Henry is good at depicting American society, especially the life of the people in New York. His works are novel, humorous, and often end upset; because described many characters, full of life, known as the "Encyclopedia of American life humor". Representative works are novels, Chinese cabbage and king, four million, the road to destiny and so on. Some masterpieces such as "love sacrifice", "police and hymn", "furnished rooms", "gift of the Magi", "the last leaf" earned him a reputation in the world.Style IntroductionMention of O Henry's novels, people always used to describe his style of "laugh with tears, but think about those who lived ahumble, poor, helpless life of the little people, o. Henry in the novel will feel, if in such a situation," tearful "of course is easy, but how to laugh? But in O Henry's novels is haunted by a kind of sad mood, but not a hint of joy and hope. Even in the desperate situation where people can also find out the absurdity of life, to find humor in the helpless, sad experience in poetry, as the dark material is dotted with flowers, there is a hope, a comfort, a warm, life is beautiful, you can let them ride out the day after day, until destined end. And the end of this novel is created by O Henry himself. He always makes the most agreeable arrangements in the most unexpected way. Sometimes, this kind of fulfillment will make the former misfortune roses, and make the hardship become romantic, which makes people not sure that there is such a thing, but it must be the most promising thing.O Henry's writing has a profound basis in life. He should have a profound experience for misfortune. He lost his mother when he was young, and he was a genius in painting, but he had no way to develop. A famous male school says that as long as he draws school, he is admitted to school, free of tuition and free from board and lodging. He who has a passion for literature and art must be eager to be educated, but he can not do it. He has no book fees and installation fees, and he has to earn a living to support himself. His life is as an apprentice in a pharmacy, in West Texas cattle, do accounting, cartographer, reporter. Life requires much of him, but little grace, almost nothing. From his works can be seen in the pharmacist's knowledge and the local customs and practices but in addition to his aunt, the early enlightenment education he own education themselves, whether learning or life is helpless, in addition to the painno other favorable factors become a novelist, but he finally became a writer, he can imagine how experienced struggle. When he was a teller, he used to be absent-minded and painted at work, but he bought a magazine, published some works, and began his original literary creation. But there is a greater misfortune waiting for him, he suspected of corruption, but also to the Latin American asylum, back and ill wife goodbye, and jailed. The parting sorrow pain and loss of freedom enough to make anyone lose hope,But he began writing in prison and became famous ever since. His experience confirms the life he describes in his novels: there is hope in trouble, and life becomes warmer than before. But it must go through a process, as the winter to spring, the seed age people will not predict the flower appearance, only after the burial through patience, there will be a surprise, there will be fresh, beautiful days, can make the former bitter is sweet. However, some people think that O Henry's plot is not conducive to literary realism and influence the depth of his works. Golgi said: "your life is very bitter, but a woman may marry a millionaire, a man may marry a wealthy woman, or to find what other things. The characters in O Henry's novels is not only for the revolution for a decent life, but they are always kind, passionate, even not strong and never play tricks, so in any case they still cute.O Henry's novel is very delicate in structure, and uses the art that other people have never used. This is the famous "euro Henry" ending. In the novel, O Henry is always on the one hand to describe things, people began to think think what arrangements, but the real ending clues generally hidden in theseemingly dull narrative, even if O Henry is good at predicting a surprise, rarely able to guess how things could be perfectly logical and reasonable but beyond the imagination. Each of O Henry's novels uses the same technique, but each has the same charm, and it seems that his knitting skills for world joys and sorrows are endless. And each ending brings new meaning to the preceding plot, leaving a lasting and profound ambiguity. But that means too vast, so some people think that the work structure more features than the characters in O Henry's novels, a deep impression left is indeed the mood and plot, instead of characters and character, but in any case, the limited tenderness lonely helpless in tenderness and miracles that touched us deeply, so we find hope and comfort.O Henry was also a master of humor. He was good at finding seeds of humor and cultivating them to make strange flowers. However, when people enjoy a exotic flower, not a flower to be luxury, this kind of pressure makes o. Henry more carefully combing life, so that friends are afraid of him, he also said: "I almost become a humorous materials thief.There are altogether more than 300 short stories written by O Henry. The main novels are "four million", "the heart of the west", "voice of the city", "good"。
