Potter used to drink with them. After rambling a few words, Potter turned to the old man and said, "Oh, Henry! One more! " While waiting, Potter took out a manuscript from his pocket and said, "Look, brothers, I wrote this. I don't want to sign my name. What name should I use?" Hepner said quietly, "Why don't you just sign' O Henry'? God knows, don't you always talk about a name? Porter smiled, but he didn't take the joke to heart at that time. Later, he went to prison. In a small, dirty cell, he wrote an unparalleled short story, but the signature made him rack his brains, because the name had to cover up his identity and shame. Suddenly, his mind flashed the happy scene in the "Cigarette Factory Bar". Potter held out his hand, picked up the manuscript in front of him and signed it-O Henry. Oh. Henry (O.HENRY, formerly known as William. Sidney. Porter, 1862-191), a famous American novelist. Famous for short stories. His representative works include the collection of short stories "Four Million", among which "The Gift of Maggie" is well-known all over the world. His works weave humorous and sad short stories, which are called "humorous encyclopedia of American life". Most critics think that his creation has an "amazing and lasting influence", and his ingenious ending is called "Ou". Henry's ending is famous in the literary world.
oh. Henry, born in 1862 to a family of doctors in Greensboro, North Carolina, died in New York in 191 at the age of 48. Oh. Henry's short life was full of misfortunes. He lamented in The Gift of the Magi: "Life is made of sobs? Sniffing and smiling, and sniffling accounts for the majority. " At the age of three. Henry lost his maternal love and was taken back to his widowed grandmother by his father. His aunt is a teacher, and her strict and enlightening teaching made him interested in literature. At the age of 17, he began to work as an apprentice in his uncle's drugstore, where he came into contact with strange characters, became familiar with their languages, habits and ways of doing things, and prepared rich materials for later creation. The medical knowledge he learned in the pharmacy was also reflected in his later works, such as "Being in the same boat". In 882, oh. Henry left his hometown and came to Texas. Five years later, he and assor. Astiz. Roach gets married. Young assor is intelligent and optimistic. She encourages her husband to create. Unfortunately, however, she was in poor health. After being married for 1 years, at the age of 29, she left her husband and daughter Margaret and died. Henry is undoubtedly a great blow. In 1891, Europe Henry began to work as a cashier at the First National Bank in Austin, Texas. During this work, he bought a local magazine called "Against Icon Worshipers", renamed it "Rolling Stone" and began to publish some satirical and humorous sketches on it.
because of poor management, the magazine was not given to Europe. Henry brought considerable income, but he was heavily in debt. At this time, Austin Bank found that there was a shortage of funds, and some people suspected that it was Europe. Henry embezzled, so O 'Henry was prosecuted. In July 1895, the case was first tried and the result was against Europe. Henry is good, but the next year, his wife is dying, oh. Henry ventured back to visit and was finally arrested after his wife's death. He was sentenced to five years in Ohio prison. His unfortunate experience, wandering years, confinement in prison and contact with various tasks gave O Henry rich creative themes. In his works, we see people of different classes and positions in the United States. Especially the so-called little people who live at the bottom of capitalist society are the objects he often describes. Therefore, his novels have been hailed as "the humorous encyclopedia of American life". From the nature of the subject matter, O 'Henry's works can be roughly divided into three categories. One is to describe life in the western United States; One is about life in some big cities in the United States; One is aimed at life in Latin America. These different themes are obviously closely related to the author's different experiences in several major life periods. O Henry is a writer with a unique style. His works are full of humor and wit. His language is vivid and concise, leaving room for imagination and intriguing. He can portray a character with a few strokes. He is good at summarizing and synthesizing ordinary life phenomena, and then expressing them in unusual forms. He can seize the accidental factors in life and give the story an unexpected ending.
Soapy was lying on a bench in Madison Square, tossing and turning. Whenever the geese sing in the night sky, the woman who lacks seal fur coats is more affectionate and affectionate to her husband, and Soapy is restless and tossing and turning on the bench in the street park, people will understand that winter is close at hand. A dead leaf fell on Soapy's lap. It was Jack Frost's card. Jack is very polite to the permanent residents of Madison Square, and always says hello before coming every year. At the crossroads, he gave his business card to the messenger "North Wind" of the "Outdoor Building" so that the residents could be prepared. Soapy realized that it was time for him to make up his mind, and immediately organized a single financial committee in order to resist the approaching cold. Therefore, he tossed and turned impatiently on the bench. Soapy's ambition to spend the winter is not the highest. He doesn't want to cruise in the Mediterranean, nor do he want to bask in the lethargic sun in the south, nor do he want to wander in the Bay of Vesuvius. His dream is that three months on the island is enough. For three months, I had food, a bed to sleep in, and like-minded partners, and I was not disturbed by the "north wind" and the police. For soapy, this is the greatest wish of thinking day and night. For many years, the hospitable Blackwell Island prison has been Soapy's winter residence. Just as new york people who are luckier than him buy tickets to Palm Beach and Riviera every winter, Soapy has to make some necessary arrangements for the annual escape to the island. Now it's time again. Last night, he slept on the bench beside the fountain in the ancient square, and put three Sunday newspapers under his coat, wrapped his ankles and covered his thighs, but he failed to resist the cold attack.
Therefore, in his mind, the image of the island came out immediately and vividly. He cursed the charity given to the urban poor in the name of charity. In Soapy's eyes, law is more lenient than relief. He can go to many places, and there are various organizations run by the municipal government and relief agencies. He can eat and live together and make a living, but accepting charity is an unbearable torture for a person with a proud soul like Soapy. You don't have to pay for any benefit from charity, but you must suffer mental humiliation in return. Just as Caesar treated Brutu (5), everything has advantages and disadvantages. To sleep in a charity bed, you must first have someone take a bath; If you want to eat a piece of bread, you must first explain your personal origin and privacy. Therefore, it is much better to be a guest of law. Although the law is impartial and follows the rules, at least it will not interfere excessively in the private affairs of a gentleman. This is a ridiculous story. When winter is coming, Subei, the hero, begins to make efforts to enter his winter residence-blackwell Prison, trying every means to get the police to arrest him. However, O 'Henry's introduction was unsuccessful. Just as he was influenced by the hymn music in the church, he decided to give up his old life and start over, but he was arrested by the police and sent to prison as he wished. In a relaxed and humorous style, the author describes Su Bei's ridiculous attempts to achieve his ridiculous goals, such as cheating on food and drinking in restaurants, smashing shop windows, molesting * * *, disturbing public order and stealing.
What makes people feel incredible and even more ridiculous is that instead of punishing these illegal actions, police officers show a kind of "tolerance". It is a wonderful irony that when Su Bei gave up his original idea, the "tolerant" police arrested him for doing nothing. From this, the ridiculous has become pitiful and exasperating. One yuan and eighty-seven cents. It's all here, of which 6 cents is a penny. These cents were deducted by grocery store owners, vegetable vendors and butcher shops, which made them feel ashamed. I deeply felt that this kind of deal was really embarrassing. Della counted it three times, and it was still 1.87 yuan, and the next day was Christmas. There is obviously no other way but to throw himself on the shabby nap chair and cry. Della did this, but her spiritual feelings came to her. Life is all about crying, sniffling and smiling, especially sniffling. When the housewife gradually calms down, let's take a look at this home. A furnished apartment costs eight dollars a week. Although it is difficult to describe in words, it is really worthy of the word beggar gang. There is a mailbox in the doorway downstairs, but there is never a letter, and there is also a button, and no one's finger has ever rung the bell. Besides, there is a business card that says "Mr. James dillingham Young". As you all know, Maggie is a smart person. She is extremely smart. They brought gifts to Jesus who was born in a manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Because they are smart people, there is no doubt that their gifts are also smart gifts. If they meet two things that are exactly the same, they may have the right to exchange.
here, I have clumsily introduced to you the unsurprisingly flat story of two silly children living in an apartment, who unwisely sacrificed the most precious thing in their family for each other. However, let's say one last word to the smart people today. Among all the people who give gifts, those two people are the smartest. Among all the people who give and receive gifts, people like them are also the cleverest. Everywhere, they are the smartest people. They are Maggie. O Henry's sympathy for all kinds of little people and tramps in capitalist society is fully manifested in many of his short films. Just like this popular novel describes the story of a poor young couple giving each other Christmas presents. The wife sold her proud hair to buy a watch chain, but her husband just sold three generations of gold watches for a pair of combs to decorate her hair. Finally, the husband smiled at these two mutilated gifts, but how many bitter tears were contained in his laughter! What enlightenment can Jonson's experience give people? Everyone will encounter difficulties and setbacks. The key is to see if you have confidence, face it and have the courage to overcome it. Jonson was once disappointed, but she was inspired by the last ivy leaf that Berman bought with her life and pulled herself together until she recovered. Strong belief is the spiritual pillar on which life depends. The ending feature is the ending of O 'Henry style. The greatest feature of O 'Henry's short stories in artistic treatment is that "the unexpected ending of the novel is unexpected and reasonable. Obviously, it is developing in one direction, but the ending is often unexpected. However, the unexpected ending is generally comforting, a smile with tears. *
