2、 The Pauper TperI. IntroductionRich with surprise and hilarious adventure, The Prince and the Pauper is a delightful satire of Englands romantic past and a joyful boyhood romp filled with the same tongue-in-cheek irony that sparks the best of Mark Twains tall tales. It was first published in 1881 in
3、 Canada before its 1882 publication in the United States. The book represents Twains first attempt at historical fiction. Set in 1547, the novel tells the story of two young boys who are identical in appearance: Tom Canty, a pauper who lives with his abusive father in Offal Court off Pudding Lane in
4、 London,and Edward VI of England, son of Henry VIII of England.Mark Twain (pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910), was an American writer, journalist and humorist, who won a worldwide audience for his stories of the youthful adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Clemens was born
5、on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri, of a Virginian family. In 1864 Twain left for California, and worked in San Francisco as a reporter. He visited Hawaii as a correspondent for The Sacramento Union, publishing letters on his trip and giving lectures. He set out on a world tour, traveling in
6、France and Italy. Between 1876 and 1884 he published several masterpieces, Tom Sawyer (1881) and The Prince and The Pauper (1881). Life on the Mississippi appeared in 1883 and Huckleberry Finn in 1884. In the 1890s Twain lost most of his earnings in financial speculations and in the failure of his o
7、wn publishing firm. Twain toured New Zealand, Australia, India, and South Africa. H During his long writing career, Twain also produced a considerable number of essays. II. A Summary of the BookThe Prince and the Pauper attracted my eyes because of its funny plot and its impressed methods that educa
8、ted many people. The Prince and the Pauper tells the tale of two boys who trade clothing in one afternoon and, as a result, they trade lives at last. One is the heir to the throne of England, Edward Tudor. The other boy is Tom Canty, the son of a beggar and thief. Coincidentally, Tom Canty and Edwar
9、d Tudor were born in London on the same day. Tom Canty is forced by his father to beg, and he is beaten severely if he returns empty-handed. Father Andrew provides him some respite from this life by telling him tales about the nobility. One day, Tom and Edward come across by accident. They exchange
10、clothing and discover that they look very much alike. Then the prince rushes out of the palace. Edward is mocked by the crowd, all the while asserting that he is the son of the king. Then Edward wanders around until he is collared by John Canty. In the meantime, young Tom Canty has been left in the
11、princes royal apartment in the palace. During that time, Tom adapted to this kind of life quickly.When Tom enjoyed his life, the real prince tried to get in the palace. The mob beat him. Miles Hendon appeared and protected him. The prince and Hendon are struggling with the crowd. After the death of
12、Henry VIII, Tom Canty is elevated from prince to king.In Hendons rooms, the prince acts as usual and expects Hendon to serve him; Hendon does so without a protest. Hendon leaves to buy new clothes for him while the prince is still sleeping. When he returns, the prince is lured away by a boy who is a
13、 friend of Toms fathers. Tom makes good use of an interview with Humphrey Marlow to learn things; Tom uses opportunities to learn and remember important royal matters.The prince falls asleep on straw, he hears many tales of injustice. He declares such laws should be abolished and he was mocked by pe
14、ople. He tried to escape and finally he succeeded. Through this period he met a woman and two girls who helped him and believed him. And on the way Hendon never stopped to find him. Unfortunately, he was caught by Toms father again and he was forced to go out to steal and Hugo wanted him to be caugh
15、t. Hendon appeared and saved the prince again.When they got Hendons home, Miless brother put them into prison. The prince discovers the poor conditions and injustice in the law. Finally, they are released and they turn back toward London.As the prince is returning to London, Tom Canty is preparing f
16、or his coronationThe ceremony begins, just as the Archbishop of Canterbury is about to place the crown on Toms head, the real prince steps forward and forbids it. And it turns out that Edward is the real prince. At last Miles Hendon receives all his rights that Edward had promised to him. And so are
17、 Tom and his mother and sister. Edward amply rewards those who were land to him, punishes those who were not, and makes reparations to those who suffered from the cruel injustice of English laws.III. Comments on the BookI was deeply fall in love with this book and the main roles of this book. I thin
18、k there are many perfect aspects and parts that had been written very well and it deserved us to analysis it.The Prince and the Pauper is unlike Twains greater novels, where there is a great deal of character development, in this novel the characters are scarcely developed. It is on Twains ingenious
19、 plot devices. In this first chapter, the plot begins with the birth of two boys on the same day in the same town. One is very poor and unwanted, and the other is very rich and very much desired. Edward Tudor spent his life in the confines of the position he has daydreamed about the freedom experien
20、ced by boys such as Tom Canty. He is very innocent and kindhearted. When he saw his people under the pressure, he would save them without thinking. He is also very obstinate, no matter how other people laughed at him, he still persisted he was the King. He is very brave and talented, and during his
21、legendary experience, he saved and helped many poor people. He had done many things that he had never done before. During the life in prison, he learned how to tolerant and stand. Tom Canty has been brought up in one of the most disreputable parts of London and had spent much time daydreaming about
22、living the life of royalty. Under the pressure of his father and grandmother, he had to go out to beg for life, but he never try to steal something. When he became the King, he done many things to solve people problems and made many laws to people. At last, he gave the position back to Edward.Miles
23、Hendon is a good friend of Edward Tudor, and he represents the best of Englishmen; he becomes his protector. He is also very kindhearted, justice and intelligent. Because of his kindhearted, he forgave his brother, because of his justice and intelligent, he saved and helped little prince. And at las
24、t, he realized little Edward is a real prince, and he received what he had done for his kindhearted. The Prince and the Pauper is one of Twains most tightly plotted novels. In addition, this novel is strongly thematic. Mark Twain is particularly interested in contrasting the lives of the rich with t
25、he lives of the poor, the lives of the nobility with the lives of the lower classes. However, Mark Twain is also interested in showing that a person of noble birth is not different from a person of common birth. It is really an enlightened book. It showed us many life methods and reveals social real
26、ity. It shows the social reality in America at that time. Mark Twain use irony ably to critic the discrimination according to wealth, social position and so on. In this people eat people world, no one cares for others except for themselves, people dont believe in each other.The real prince must have
27、 learned a lot. At first, he want to try to be freedom, he finally realized the ugly face of the other people, they judged people only by their appearances, so he have suffered many unexpected sorrows and have done many different things that he had never done. Finally, he changed to be a real man. T
28、hrough him, I know expiring difficulties is a good way for a man out of a little boy. We should learn to thank for what we have suffered and learn to grow up from what we have suffered. Chance is always for those who prepared well. Tom Canty was just addicted to his daydreaming, it was just the vani
29、ty. But some time past, he suddenly felt it was a good feeling. His original quality was raised up and leaded him to return the position back to the King. Power and other wealthy things are not easily to gain. When you got the highest power, you should use it to help those who need your help. Miles
30、Hendon is a brave, kindhearted gentleman. When prince was in troubles, he always saved his life. Through him I thought a lot. Kind is always need at anytime in anywhere to anyone. By this role, I also learned forgave and tolerant again. Remember, one good return deserves another.In fact, everyone in
31、 the world is equal; we have the equal rights. How can we judge someone only by his appearance? No one can judge anyone who has high position or low position, because everyone is equal when we were born. No matter he is a prince or a pauper, they have the same rights to enjoy life and also have the
32、same obligation to fulfill. I think if everyone had received same treatments and no discrimination, there would have more people who can express themselves very well and do many successful things that many people can not anticipate. Everyone has the rights to be himself.生命列车The Train Of Life1. 不久以前，
33、我读了一本书。书中把人生比作一次旅行。2. 人生一世，就好比是一次搭车旅行，要经历无数次上车、下车; 时常有事故发生; 有时是意外惊喜，有时却是刻骨铭心的悲伤 3. 降生人世，我们就坐上了生命列车。我们以为我们最先见到的那两个人-我们的父母，会在人生旅途中一直陪伴着我们。 4. 很遗憾，事实并非如此。他们会在某个车站下车，留下我们，孤独无助。他们的爱、他们的情、他们不可替代的陪伴，再也无从寻找。 5. 尽管如此，还会有其他人上车。他们当中的一些人将对我们有着特殊的意义。 6. 他们之中有我们的兄弟姐妹, 有我们的亲朋好友。我们还将会体验千古不朽的爱情故事。7. 坐同一班车的人当中，有的轻松旅行
34、。8. 有的却带着深深的悲哀 还有的,在列车上四处奔忙，随时准备帮助有需要的人 9. 很多人下车后，其他旅客对他们的回忆历久弥新 但是，也有一些人，当他们离开座位时，却没有人察觉。10. 有时候，对你来说情深义重的旅伴却坐到了另一节车厢。你只得远离他，继续你的旅程。11. 当然，在旅途中，你也可以摇摇晃晃地穿过自己的车厢，去别的车厢找他 12. 可惜，你再也无法坐在他身旁，因为这个位置已经让别人给占了 .13. 没关系。旅途充满挑战、梦想、希望、离别 就是不能回头。因此，尽量使旅途愉快吧！14. 善待旅途上遇见的所有旅客，找出人们身上的闪光点。15. 永远记住，在某一段旅程中，有人会犹豫彷徨，
35、因为我们自己也会犹豫彷徨。16. 我们要理解他人，因为我们需要他人的理解。17. 生命之谜就是：我们在什么地方下车？坐在身旁的伴侣在什么地方下车？我们的朋友在什么地方下车？我们无从知晓 18. 我时常这样想：到我该下车的时候，我会留恋吗？我想我还是会的。和我的朋友分离，我会痛苦。让我的孩子孤独地前行，我会悲伤。 我执著地希望在我们大家都要到达的那个终点站，我们还会相聚 19. 我的孩子们上车时没有什么行李，如果我能在他们的行囊中留下美好的回忆，我会感到幸福。20. 我下车后，和我同行的旅客都还能记得我，想念我，我将感到快慰。21. 献给你, 我生命列车上的同行者, 祝您旅途愉快!1. Not
36、long ago, I read a book, in which a mans life was compared to a journey.2. The life of a man is just like a hitchhiking，during which many times we go up and down. Now and then things will happen accidently, some of which are to be unexpected excitement，while some heart-breaking sorrows. 3. When firs
37、t embraced the world，we are already on the train of life. We take it for granted that the first two persons, our parents, whom we are encountered with, will accompany us all the way.4. Sadly，things do not go on as we thought.Our parents will get off the train at a certain station，leaving us, bereft
38、and helpless.Their love and emotion to us and their irreplaceable company can be found in nowhere.5. However，there will be somebody else who will get on the train. Some of them will have special meaning to us.6. Some of them may be our siblings , relatives and friends, and we will also expereince th
39、e imperishable love.7. Some of our travelling companions are quite light-hearted on the way.8. While some may bear immense sorrow.Still some ,back and forth, are ready to hold out their hands for others who need help.9. Some people alight off the train, yet they are still kept in the mind of the oth
40、er passengers for long;some, to the opposite, leave their seats without being noticed.10. Sometimes, the one,who is dear to your heart, has huddled into another carriage. Nothing but one you can do is just to keep on going, far away from him.11. Of course, during the journey, you may stagger to anot
41、her carriage to look for him.12. Its a pity that you will never seat yourself beside him because the seat has been engaged by others. 13. Never mind. The journey is full of challenges,dreams, hopes and departures- but only one thing is that you cant turn back. So, have a good journey with heart and
42、soul.14. Show your good-will to all the passengers you are encountered with, and find the merits of theirs.15. Remeber that someone may oscillate just as we do in the journey.16. We should understand others just as we need others understanding.17. The enigma of life is：Where shall we get off the tra
43、in of life?And how about the companions beside us?And our friends?We dont know.18. Sometimes I think：When my time comes to get off the train，shall I miss it？I think I will.It is a suffering when I part with my friends.I will be sorry for leaving my kids going alone.I firmly hold that when we get to
44、the terminal，we will have another reunion.19. When my kids get on the train of life, they have only little luggage in their travelling bags. However,if I can leave the beautiful memory in them,I will be happy. 20. After getting off the train of life, I will be content if my fellow passengers will remember me and miss me.21. To you , the companions on my train of life.May you have a good journey!
