13、原文】 How to Write Childrens Literature? Good morning, everyone. Welcome all of you to our literature lecture series. Today, I am going to talk about how to write childrens literature. As a childrens author, Im often pleased to find that Ive inspired children and adults to write childrens stories of t

14、heir own. A question they wonder is what exactly makes a good childrens book. Whether youre a childrens author, illustrator, parent who reads to your child, or someone who is shopping for a childrens book to give to a cherished child, its important to know the components of a good childrens literatu

15、re. What is it that makes kids books and picture books so high-quality and compelling? This question perhaps cant be easily answered, as delightful childrens books come in all shapes, sizes, and varieties, but its worth taking a look at it. Even before I became the mother of three children, I had a

16、profound interest in childrens books and at the age of sixteen began writing kids books of my own. There was something that drew me to the magical storybooks which I grew to love as a child but never grew to forget as I got older. Finally, after my children were grown, I decided to turn a lifelong d

17、ream into reality as I decided to write a story that I would publish. It was a story about a dragon named Danny and his adventures with his little companion, Skipper, and it was called Danny the Dragon Meets Jim/my, the first book of an entire series, which even includes a soon-to-be-released Danny

18、the Dragon Cookbook. As I wrote the story, I grew to understand what makes a childrens story truly enchanting for its readers the young and young at heart alike. First,1its important that a childrens book has a charming protagonist with whom readers can identify.2It seems that children tend to liter

19、ally identify with characters they love; in their imagination and games, they often pretend they are indeed the beloved protagonists of their favorite movies, TV shows, and books. So what qualities should a childrens story protagonist have?3If you study the most popular childrens stories of the last

20、 few hundred years, many characters have a superhuman trait or superhuman power, but at the same time they have a human frailty about them which most people have in common such as a fear or anxiety about something or something in their life that is causing them stress. In Jack and the Beanstalk, Jac

21、k is a regular, poor boy with magical beans,4and Harry Potter of course finds that he is a wizard. Jacks magical beans and Harrys magical genetic endowment delight children, while Jacks hard circumstances and the fact that Harry is an unloved orphan earn the sympathy of children everywhere. In Danny

22、 the Dragon, I sought to have these same qualities, and I have met many children who truly love and identify with Danny. Of course, some wonderful childrens books lack a protagonist, such as Goodnight Moon or some very delightful counting and alphabet books. This is why nailing down what makes for g

23、ood childrens books can be a challenge. 5Next, children love an obstacle, encounter, or discovery, or a series of these, which capture their attention and imagination. This perhaps can be the trickiest part of writing a childrens book6People tend to inherently know what makes a good story. You can u

24、sually tell right away if an acquaintance weaving a tale for you is a good storyteller or not. Do you care about the outcome? Is there something the people in the story stand to lose? Does your heart pound or do you hold your breath? Language is another important part of childrens literature.7It is

25、usually bold language in unique combinations with charming rhymes or rhythms which hold the attention of children. If youre not Shakespeare, or Dr. Seuss, dont worry about it. Do your words have impact? Are they fun to say and can the children easily follow them?8Do they remember the words long afte

26、r the story is told? These are some of the questions you may want to ask yourself. 9One of the most important components of an illustrated book is, of course, its illustrations. Most childrens books offer several delightful illustrations. I spent an entire year searching for the perfect illustrator

27、for Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy. I had an exact vision of what I was looking for, and chances are so do you.10Dont compromise your vision, but continue to search for the right illustrations and pictures for your kids story. I recommend communicating as exactly as possible what youre looking for.11I

28、 also recommend bold colours and shapes, which children tend to adore in their favorite illustrated kids books. Finally,12there should be a discovery made or a lesson learned which challenges children to look or think in a new or different way.13A theme that they can apply in their own lives, at sch

29、ool or at home, will be welcomed with open arms.14Not only is reading a great way to build language skills and imagination,15but its an important way to teach values that will be relevant to children for the rest of their lives. When I read to kids from my childrens book series, I never cease to be

30、surprised by how quickly they catch on to the sophisticated lessons about how a family handles surprises and acceptance. Its themes of helping each other, accepting the differences of others, and treating others how one would want to be treated are embraced by children of all ages. In the end, endur

31、ing childrens literature cant be replicated according to any formula, although the points above will always remain important. Whether a childrens story truly captivates the imaginations of children and adults alike, ultimately depends upon a quality that is perhaps as elusive and magical as the imag

32、ination itself.

Today, we are going to talk about t

38、he process of analyzing a poem. The elements of analysis discussed below are designed to help you identify the ways in which poetry makes its meaning, especially its “parts“; they do not give a sense of how one goes about analyzing a poem. It is difficult to give a prescription, as different poems c

39、all on different aspects of poetry, different ways of reading, different relationships between feeling, images and meanings, and so forth. Of course, for the sake of argument, I am going to summarize the process of analyzing a poem in eight questions. Let me explain them one by one. 1. What is the g

40、enre, or form, of the poem? 1Is it a sonnet, an elegy, a lyric, a narrative, a dramatic monologue, an epic, etc. Different forms or genres have different subjects, aims, conventions and attributes. A love sonnet, for instance, is going to talk more about different aspects of human experience in diff

41、erent ways with different emphases than a political satire is, and our recognition of these attributes of form or genre is part of the meaning of the poem. 2. Who is speaking in the poem? Please remember that if the voice of the poem says “I“, that doesnt mean it is the author who is speaking: it is

42、 a voice in the poem which speaks.2The voice can be undramatized: for example, its just a voice, it doesnt identify itself; or dramatized: the voice says “I“, or the voice is clearly that of a particular persona, a dramatized character. To analyze a poem, wed better identify the voice. What does the

43、 voice have to do with what is happening in the poem? What is its attitude?3What is the tone of the voice? How is the voice involved in the action or reflection of the poem?4What is the perspective or “point of view“ of the speaker? The perspective can be social, intellectual, political, even physic

44、al. There are many different perspectives, but they all contribute to the voices point of view, which point of view affects how the world of the poem is seen, and how we respond. 3. What is the argument, thesis, or subject of the poem? What, that is to say, is it apparently “about“? Start with the b

45、asic situation, and move to consider any key statements;5any obvious or less obvious conflicts, tensions, ambiguities; key relationships, especially conflicts, parallels, contrasts;6any climaxes or problems posed or solved or not solved. 4. What is the structure of the poem? There are two basic kind

46、s of structure, formal and thematic.7Formal structure is the way the poem goes together in terms of its component parts: if there are parts stanzas, paragraphs or such then there will be a relation between the parts. For instance, the first stanza may give the past, the second the present, the third

47、 the future. 8Thematic structure, known in respect to fiction as “plot“, is the way the argument or presentation of the material of the poem is developed. For instance a poem might state a problem in eight lines, an answer to the problem in the next six; of the eight lines stating the problem, four

48、might provide a concrete example, four a reflection on what the example implies. There may well be very close relations between formal and thematic structure. When looking at thematic structure, you might look for conflicts, ambiguities and uncertainties, the tensions in the poem, as these give clear guides to the direction of meanings in the poem, the poems “in-tensions“. 5. How does the poem make use of setting? 9There is the setting in t
