【正文】 tsby’s quest for Daisy is broadly associated with the American dream, the green light also symbolizes that more generalized ideal.

Why?? He is related to everyone in the novel and is calm and detected observer who is never quick to make judgments.? Selected omniscient point of viewErnest Hemingway厄內(nèi)斯特 海明威 A Clean WellLighted Place do you interpret the irony of the title after reading the story?“Clean” symbolizes “order,”, “welllighted” symbolizes “l(fā)ight and hope.” ,Therefore, this clean, welllighted place is an insulation(隔離，孤立地) surrounded by darkness, filth（污物） and disorder, a haven of peace, a refuge for the old man and the older waiter and all the people who are lonely, isolated, void, lost and despaired. However, what is sarcastic is that, in this dark, confusing and void world, even a temporary refuge cannot exist for long. The younger waiter does not understand the old man. He even laughs at him. He thinks that the old man is “l(fā)onely” and “nasty”, and tries to drive the old man away. you think youth and confidence can help one withstand the metaphysical dark? Why or why not? older waiter said to the younger one: “We are of two different kinds.” In what sense do you think they are different? is the meaning and significance of the word “Nothing”? “Nothing” is the key word of the story. The younger waiter simply means that the old man had no reason to kill himself because he was not poor. He thinks that poverty would be the only excuse for suicide. Hemingway, however, gives the word a deeper meaning as the story unfolds. Nothing, . no hope, no meaning in life, was in fact the exact reason for the old man’s attempted suicide. The significance of the word lies in that it helps a lot to reveal the theme of the whole storydisillusionment.Ezra Pound 埃茲拉 龐德 In A Station of the Metro 在一個地鐵車站In a Station of the Metro The apparition of these faces in the crowd。 人群中幽然浮現(xiàn)的一張張臉龐， Petals on a wet, black bough. 黝黑的濕樹枝上的一片片花瓣 does the poet call the faces of pedestrians”apparition”?The apparition of these faces gives us the idea that they are cold, care nothing but themselves. Hanging around, but do nothing good to the society. 2. What do “petals ”and “bough” stand for?The “petals” are the faces. The black “bough” resembles the long, dark train.Robert Frost羅伯特 弗羅斯特 The Road Not Taken未選擇的路 ? Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,? And sorry I could not travel both? And be one traveler, long I stood? And looked down one as far as I could?? To where it bent in the undergrowth。? Then took the other, as just as fair,? And having perhaps the better claim,? Because it was grassy and wanted wear。? Though as for that the passing there? Had worn them really about the same,? And both that morning equally lay? In leaves no step had trodden black.? Oh, I kept the first for another day!? Yet knowing how way leads on to way,? I doubted if I should ever e back.?? I shall be telling this with a sigh? Somewhere ages and ages hence:? Two roads diverged in a wood, and I? I took the one less traveled by,? And that has made all the difference. (191Walt Whitman 沃爾特 惠特曼 One’s Self I Sing 我歌唱自我 O Captain!
