Introduction to Cat Content Written by Lao She

The text "Cat" is an essay written by Mr. Lao She. It was published in the 16th issue of New Observations in 1957, and was revised when it was selected as the main text.

Main content and central idea This passage describes the eccentric character of a big cat and the cuteness of a kitten just full moon, and expresses the author's love for cats.

The full text of paragraph structure has four natural paragraphs, which are divided into two parts. The first part (1-3) talks about the eccentric character of the big cat; The second paragraph (the fourth natural paragraph) tells that the kitten just full moon is very naughty.

The text begins with the eccentric character of the big cat. The first sentence of this part generally says that it is eccentric, and the word "true" is added before "eccentric". "Really weird" means really weird. The author then talks about the eccentric character of the big cat from three aspects.

On the one hand, big cats love to play honestly; Although I am playful, I do my duty.

The author first talks about the honesty of cats. Specific performance: "sleeping all day" means that it likes quiet, doesn't like moving, and seems lazy; "Don't ask anything" means that it is comfortable, docile, docile and not annoying.

What's more, it is "playful": "running away for a day and a night" means staying outside for a long time and even forgetting home; "How to fight", try your best to fight everywhere. "No matter what you call it, it won't come back", which means it doesn't care what it plays outside.

Finally, cats are conscientious. "Hearing the mouse make a sound" means that it has not seen the mouse yet, but only heard the sound; "It's a little noisy." It's not loud. "Hold your breath", hold your breath for a while. "For hours on end" means a long wait. "Be sure to wait for the mouse" shows the patience and determination of the cat in catching the mouse.

Honesty and playfulness, playfulness and due diligence are contradictory. These contradictory personality characteristics are shown in cats, so it is a bit strange to say that "cats" have strange personalities.

The second aspect is about the happy or unhappy appearance of big cats.

Let's talk about the "gentle and amiable" appearance of cats when they are happy. "Gentle and amiable" means gentle, obedient and likable. The reason why the cat is docile and amiable is that it will "rub your leg", "make you scratch it" and "jump on the table and poke some small plum blossoms on the manuscript paper", which shows that the cat has a close relationship with the author. The author loves cats so much that he even regards the footprints left by cats stepping on dirty manuscript paper as "small plum blossoms" It can be seen that the author loves cats to a great extent. Cats are "gentle and amiable" because they can make all kinds of pleasant sounds and purr to amuse themselves. The author uses the words "rich and multi-cavity", "different length", "different thickness" and "varied" to describe the cat's cry. It can be seen that the author's observation of cats is very careful, and he can distinguish various sounds of cats, which also shows the author's love for cats.
