contains 4 parts:,beginning,developing,climax and end.,It often moves through 5 stages:,exposition(铺垫),rising action(开端,上升情节),crisis or climax(高潮),falling action(高潮之后部分),resolution(结局).,7/76,Structure

which ties one incident to another and makes the plot move.,9/76,two,types,of conflict,1)External-A struggle with a force outside ones self.,2)Internal-A struggle within ones self;a person must make some decision,overcome pain,quiet their temper,resist an urge,etc.,10/76,four,kinds,of conflict,1),Man vs.Man(physical),-The leading character struggles with his physical strength against other

right or wrong,physical limitations,choices,etc.,11/76,D Theme,The theme of a story is different from the plot.While the plot tells,what happens in the story,the theme shows,what the story is about,.The theme of a story is the general meaning,the central and dominating idea that unifies and controls the total work.Usually it is easier to summarize the events than to state the theme in ones own word.,12/76,What is the theme of this story?,Miscommunication between immigrant parents and their American-born children,.,.,.,.,.,13/76,E.Point of View,Point of view,or p.o.v.,is defined as the angle from which the story is told.,1.First Person.,2.Omniscient-全知,无所不知,a)Omniscient Limited,b)Omniscient Objective,14/76,First-person narration,A story can be told from the 1st or 3rd person.When the 1st-person narrative is used,the story is told by“I”.In this story,the narrator,the daughter,is one of the main characters of the story.The whole story is narrated by the daughter.Though the narrator remains the same,the point of view may change.Most of the story is narrated from the point of view of the daughter as a little girl and the last part is from the point of view of the same daughter when she has grown up.,We readers should distinguish between the,1st-person narrator“I”,and,the author,who wrote the story.In other words,the fictional“I”and the real-life author are not the same person,though in an autobiographical novel or story,many events that“I”experience are based on the authors own life experiences.,15/76,The 1st-person narrative is,more effective,than the 3rd-person narrative.,As the 1st-person narrator is part of the story,she/he can,move freely,within the fictional world and approach other fictional characters.,The 1st-person narrator,addresses the reader directly,.,The immediate and compelling quality of the 1st-person narration enables the author to,capture the moment,as if it were taking place this very instant and right here.,The 1st-person is either a participant of an eyewitness of the events.So there is,authority,in the 1st-person narration.,16/76,The 1st-person narration can also,allow the reader to enter the mind of the narrator,.The narrator tells us what happens in the physical world as well as in his/her mental world.,Restrictions,of the 1st-person narration:it is,tightly controlled and limited,in its access to information.It can only tell us that the narrator sees and knows.It cannot let the reader enter the minds of other characters.So the 1st-person narration is inevitably limited and may even be biased in terms of perspectives and observations.,17/76,F.Characters,There are two meanings for the word“character”:,1)The person in a work of fiction.2)The characteristics of a person.,Persons in a work of fiction-,Antagonist and Protagonist,Short stories use few characters.One character is clearly central to the story with all major events having some importance to this character-he/she is the PROTAGONIST.The opposer of the main character is called the ANTAGONIST.,18/76,The Characteristics of a Person,In order for a story to seem real to the reader its characters must seem real.Characterization is the information the author gives the reader about the characters themselves.The author may reveal a character in several ways:a)his/her physical appearance b)what he/she says,thinks,feels and dreams c)what he/she does or does not do d)what others say about him/her and how others react to him/her,19/76,A well-portrayed character should be what we call dynamic or round,not static or flat.A dynamic or round character,with richness in personality,grows or develops in the progress of the story while a static,or flat,one stays unchanged,more or less the same throughout the story.,20/76,Text Appreciation,21/76,Part I of the story(para.1-3)Exposition,What are the reasons that Suyuan Woo placed all her hopes on this American-born child?,22/76,Firstly,she

who dances in ballets.,“crying with holy indignity”,-The author is being humorous here.Jesus Christ did everything with holy dignity,such as preaching and healing the sick.But when he was a newborn

words,for the most part,we hated each other.,Sibling rivalry is competition between brothers and sisters for their parents attention or love.Although there is a sibling rivalry in all cultures,it may be more common in American families than in Chinese families because of different family education and family values.In American families,every child is led to think he/she is the best.They are encouraged to compete for everything from an early age on.In Chinese families,elder sisters and brothers are told to look after their younger sisters and brothers.In return,younger ones are supposed to show respect for the older ones.In American families,more stress is put on individual rights and equality than on relation in which the older and the younger siblings have different roles to play.,50/76,Story Reviewing,Shirley Temple beauty training school uneven mass of crinkly black fuzz Peter Pan straight-across bangs picture prodigy beyond reproach,Formica kitchen table magazine in a
