Lesson 15 Preview Material Volume 11 ("Wonderful" and "Bad")

Budd schulberg, the son of Hollywood filmmaker Benjamin Schulberg, was born in new york on March 27th, 2004.

After receiving an education at Dartmouth College, he became a screenwriter. Schulberg has a left-wing vision and is a member of the * * * production party. (1937-40) However, these visions are not obvious in his first two screenplays Little Anne Without Parents (1938) and White Carnival. ( 1939)

Schulberg and the director lost their jobs. After the failure of the White Carnival, I turned to writing novels with him. His first novel, What made the American soldiers get away? (194 1), satirizing Hollywood power and corruption. He went on to write a novel about boxing, and the harder it was for them to fall. ( 1947)

In the House of Representatives of the 1947 Committee on Non-American Activities (HUAC), an in-depth investigation of the Hollywood sports photography industry was started. HUAC met 4 1 people who are working in Hollywood. These people automatically participate and become "friendly witnesses". In the interview, they named some leftists whom they accused.

One of them, an immigrant playwright named Bertolt Brecht, went to East Germany after testifying in court. Others 10: The male name is Bieberman to avoid food, and A.Albert Maltz, Adrian Scott, Samuel Ortiz, dalton trumbo, Edward Dmytryk, Ring Lardner II, john howard lawson and Alvah Bessie refused any questions.

Hollywood's top ten, they claim that the first amendment of the US Constitution gives them the right to do so. The House of Representatives and the Court of the Committee on Non-American Activities disagreed during the appeal. All of them were convicted of contempt of Congress and each was sentenced to 6 to 12 months in prison. Before HUAC was willing to prove it, other phone calls and screenwriters Richard Collins named Schulberg as a former member of the producer.

Schulberg said in his telegram to HUAC that the news provided evidence against former members of the * * * production party. When he appeared before the committee, he named 15 former comrades. How did he party members, such as john howard lawson and Richard Collins, try to influence the content of his novels? What makes American soldiers run?

After providing evidence to the non-American House of Representatives, the Committee Schulberg was free to return to Hollywood to work as a screenwriter. He collaborated with another former party member elia kazan in the Oscar-winning film On the Waters. (1954) The more difficult it is for other films to include the autumn of their masses (1956) and a face. (1957) His autobiography Moving Photos: Memories of a Hollywood Prince was published in 198 1.

This text is about the different evaluations of the author's works by his father and mother when he was a child, the great influence of these two evaluations on him, and the love the author felt from these two evaluations.

In chronological order, the text first tells that the author wrote his first poem when he was seven or eight years old. His mother's evaluation is "wonderful" and his father's evaluation is "terrible". My response to "wonderful" is "triumph" and my response to "terrible" is "crying". Obviously, the author at this time did not understand his parents' hearts. After a few years, the author realized that his father's original evaluation was correct, and he was always encouraged by his mother to write and received limited recognition from his father. A few years later, when I read this poem again, I had to admit that my father was right. "I have to admit" means that the author has realized that his father's evaluation is right, but it doesn't seem easy to accept emotionally. Finally, the author made great achievements as an adult. He feels very lucky to have a kind mother and a very strict father. As an adult, "I" am more and more aware of the important role played by two completely different evaluations of my parents in my own growth. Motherly love is the "source of inspiration and creation", while father's "admonition" often reminds him to be "careful, pay attention, summarize and improve". The author not only realizes the necessity of two kinds of evaluations for his healthy growth, but also realizes that the two seemingly different evaluations of "wonderful" and "terrible" contain the same thing, that is love.

There are many dialogues in this text, which is concise, lively and distinctive. The description of psychological activities in the first film is also very vivid. When choosing this text, students should grasp the sentences describing the actions, language and psychological activities of the characters in reading, and experience how the author gradually understands the love contained in the two different evaluations of parents and feels the different expressions of love.

2. Text analysis.

Understanding of (1) sentence.

I realize more and more how lucky I am.

As a child, the author feels very lucky, because, first of all, I have a kind mother who always encourages me. She always affirms me and gives me strength. Motherly love is the inspiration and source of "I" creation; Second, "I" also has a strict father. His warning and education kept me from going astray. I have written many works, and the power to publish one work after another comes from my parents, so how lucky I am.

(2) I know "wonderful" or "terrible" from the bottom of my heart. These two extreme assertions have the same starting point-love. "

This sentence correctly understands "I"' s praise for my mother, "wonderful" and my father's criticism of "terrible", that is, parents have the same starting point, both of which are "love". It is precisely because "I" know the love of my parents that I can hold the boat of life carefully in the process of growing up so that it will not be blown down by any wind, that is to say, I will not feel proud and sad. At ordinary times, parents often remind us to keep moving forward with the encouragement of love.

(2) Understanding of words.

Shyness: This lesson refers to looking unnatural because of shyness.

Proud: Feeling satisfied with one's contentment, feeling very satisfied.

As always: as always.

Inspiration: A sudden creative idea or idea.

Source: source, figuratively speaking, the source or reason of strength, knowledge, emotion, etc.

Go astray: the wrong way.

Caution: pay close attention to external things or your own words and deeds to avoid unfavorable or unfortunate things.

Second, the teaching objectives

1. Know 6 new words and write 14 new words. Correctly read and write "bad", "truth", "pride", "copy", "admiration", "comment", "publication", "drama", "seriousness", "inspiration", "creation", "source", "warning", "reminder" and "grasp". Understand the words "as always" and "complacent".

2. Read the text with emotion and talk about why mom and dad have different views on Buddy's poems.

3. Through the sentences describing the characters' actions, language and psychological activities, I can understand how the author gradually understands the love contained in the two different evaluations of parents and feels the different expressions of love.

Third, teaching suggestions

1. The title uses the word "he" to connect two sentences with completely different meanings, which is easy to stimulate reading desire. So we can introduce new courses from the topic.

2. The teaching process can be roughly arranged as follows:

Let the students read the text well, accurately and fluently first.

Then divide the text into two parts: childhood stories and later understanding, and guide students to intensive reading.

Intensive reading of this part of childhood can focus on guiding students to discover: after I wrote my first poem, how did my mother evaluate it and how did I behave; How did my father evaluate it and how did I react? Why do mom and dad have different views? "Wonderful" is the mother's evaluation, which is emotional. Because mothers pay more attention to their children's feelings, in order to encourage their children, they often say something with strong feelings but not quite in line with the facts. "Wonderful" is like this: when my mother saw that I was seven or eight years old, she would have feelings for writing poetry. She didn't think much about the quality of poetry itself, but took this opportunity to appreciate me. "Terrible" is my father's evaluation. What my father cares about is not the behavior of "I" writing poems, but the quality of the poems themselves. This is because fathers, especially fathers in western countries, are generally more rational, so his evaluation of "I" overemphasizes facts, ignores emotions, and does not take into account the endurance of "I". However, the "terrible" that my father said here seems to be aimed at the "wonderful" of my mother. Perhaps the father thinks that the mother's encouragement is a bit excessive, which makes the child "complacent". In this case, giving the child some warnings is more conducive to his healthy growth.

After intensive reading, students can read the text silently, ask questions they don't understand or are interested in and discuss with you. For example, why did the author become more and more aware of how lucky he was when he was a child when he was an adult? Because he not only has his mother's kind love and encouraging love, but also inspires him to move forward with confidence; He also has his father's strict love and strict love, so that he will not be carried away by temporary success.

Then, let the students connect with reality and think about what role parents' encouragement and criticism have played in their growth.

The text describes what happened between me and my parents. There are many descriptions of characters' dialogues, expressions and inner activities. When reading aloud, different characters should read different tones. Mother should read a kind, kind and cordial tone, father's language should read a harsh tone, the content of "I" should be lively, and narrative sentences should read a gentle tone. Whether it's mom's words or dad's words, we should read the feelings of "love".

3. Students should be instructed to read the new words in this lesson in the context, or look them up in the dictionary.

Fourth, teaching cases.

Further reading

Father's love, around the corner

One day, my brother cut his foot on a sharp stone while on an outing. After being bandaged in the hospital, several classmates sent him home.

At the corner near home, my brother met my father. So he put his bandaged feet up for his father to see, and complained with a sad face, hoping to get a little sympathy and love. Unexpectedly, my father did not comfort him, but simply explained a few words and left by himself.

My brother is very sad, wronged and angry. He felt that his father didn't care about him at all. When he was complaining, a classmate smiled and advised, "Don't be angry, most dads do. In fact, he loves you very much, but he is not good at expressing it. " If you don't believe me, when your father comes to the front corner, he will definitely look back at you. "My brother with a grain of salt, other students are also very interested. So they stopped at the same time and stood there staring at dad's distant back.

Dad walked forward with certainty step by step, as if nothing would make him turn back … But when he reached the corner, just as he was sideways, he quietly turned back as if inadvertently, glanced at his brother and them quickly, and then disappeared behind the corner.

Although all this happened in a flash, it touched everyone present, and my brother's eyes were still shining with tears. When my brother told me this, I wanted to cry. For a long time, I have been looking for an action that can represent my father's love, and now I have finally found it, that is, turning. This action, wrote the essence of fatherly love.

Textbook analysis

The text can be divided into three parts in chronological order. The first part tells that the author wrote his first poem when he was seven or eight years old, but he got two diametrically opposite comments from his parents. In the second part, the author realized that his father's original evaluation was correct after several years. Encouraged by his mother, he has been writing and has received limited recognition from his father. The third part talks about the author's achievements as an adult. He feels very lucky to have a kind mother and a very strict father.

Yi Duan

The first paragraph (1- 14 natural paragraph) mainly tells that my mother's evaluation of my first poem is "wonderful" and my father's evaluation is "terrible".

The second paragraph (15- 16 natural paragraph) is mainly about that I have been writing because of my mother's encouragement several years later. Because of my father's criticism, I learned to modify it. Only under their education did I become a writer. I feel lucky to have such a kind mother and a strict father.

In the third paragraph (17 natural paragraph), "wonderful" and "terrible" voices have been pushing me forward.

(1) "I am shy and proud. I nodded and told her that I really wrote that poem."

"Shy" is because "I" wrote a poem for the first time. I don't know if it's good or bad, and I'm a little embarrassed. "Pride" is the pride that children show when they hear their praise and affirmation.

(2) "I can't wait to show my poem to my father at once." "All afternoon, I waited for my father to come back with a proud mood ... and drew a circle of lace around it with colored pens."

I can't wait because I think this poem is well written after hearing my mother's praise, and I want to show it to my father at once and get his praise. )

(3) "I bow my head and the poem is only ten lines. I think he has been watching it for a long time. "

This paper compares the feelings of "poetry is less than ten lines" and "poetry has been read for a long time" On the one hand, it shows that my father is serious about "I". He didn't draw a conclusion at once, but read the poem carefully before drawing a conclusion. It can be seen that my father is very strict with me. On the other hand, it reflects the complex psychology of "I" at this time, both wanting to hear my father's praise and fearing to hear his father's criticism.

(4) "My eyes are wet and my head is too heavy to lift." And "I can't take it anymore, … I jumped into bed and got hurt."

My father's criticism was beyond my expectation. I didn't expect my father to criticize my work so seriously and show no mercy at all.

What influence does mom's praise and dad's criticism have on me? Please read the second paragraph.

1. "But my mother always encourages me, so I have been writing"; "According to my father's comment on writing, I learned to change."

2. "A writer should say that everyone in life ... should be careful, pay attention, summarize and improve."

My mother's praise is an encouragement to me, the strength she gives me to write, and the source of my inspiration and creation. Father's criticism is to remind "me" not to be complacent, but to constantly find problems and correct them. The combination of the two makes me a "me" and a writer.

Read the last paragraph of the text and read your favorite sentences to your deskmate. Tell me what you have learned from it.

1. "wonderful" and "terrible" ... they are like two winds ... so that it won't be blown down by the wind. "

One wind refers to praise and the other refers to criticism. Don't be blown down by any wind, that is, don't be lost because of praise, don't be complacent because of achievements, and immerse yourself in praise without working hard; I have not been intimidated by criticism, I have not lost confidence, and I have recovered.

2. Why does the author say "wonderful" or "terrible"? These two extreme assertions have the same starting point-that is "love".

Praise and criticism represent two forms of love. One is strict love, the other is tolerant love. Both kinds of love reflect parents' love and care for their children.

Budd schulberg 19 14 was born in new york on March 27th. Wonderful and terrible is one of his short stories. Bud. Schulberg is a famous American best-selling author. His published works include On the Waterfront, On the Waterfront, What Makes Sammy Escape, A Lucid Dream, Smart and Confused Smart, I like this unhappy person, etc.

The article "wonderful" and "terrible" deeply touched my heart.

The article describes that the author wrote his first poem when he was seven or eight years old. His mother commented that it was "wonderful" and his father said "terrible". Later, the author wrote many poems, novels, plays and movie scripts. Every time, his mother said "wonderful" and his father said "terrible". Later, the author finally understood that both the mother's "wonderful" and the father's "terrible" are deep love for themselves.

There are two forms of love in life. First, love is maternal love. He always builds our confidence and encourages us to keep moving forward with kind words. Another kind of love, like the author's strict father, always warns us that there is still room for improvement. We should "seriously grasp" these two kinds of love, so that we can keep moving forward.

I feel the same way. In the third grade, the composition was tested in the final exam. Because we didn't learn to write a composition until the third grade, and it was terrible. I either forgot punctuation or wrote wrong words, but I tried my best. After returning home, my mother read my composition and encouraged me to say, "This article is really good. If there are no typos and punctuation marks, it must be a masterpiece. " After listening to my mother's words, my heart is sweet. "Really?" Father said, "Let me see." I took my masterpiece with confidence and gave it to my father carefully. After reading it, my father said sternly, "Not so good, why is there no punctuation?" And there are many typos, and the handwriting is so bad. "I was very sad after hearing this and went into my bedroom in frustration. ...

Now, I understand: in one's life, we need the encouragement and praise of love to make ourselves brave and sail forward with oxygen and hope. In addition, someone needs to point out their own shortcomings. Although the evaluation of "wonderful" and "bad" is not without contradictions, they are all parents' deep love for themselves.
