In narrative, people and things are inseparable, and the key depends on how the topic is required. Ask to write a topic, and the people in the text should serve the cause; It is required to write about people's topics, and the things in the text must serve people. Writing a people-oriented narrative is to express one or more qualities of the characters through one or several things. Writing a sequel does not require narrative integrity; The narrative of the chronicle should be complete and run through the whole article.
(A) to write people through one thing
Writing about people through one thing is usually an aspect of expressing a character or character. In order to describe characters, it is necessary to describe their appearance, language, movements and psychology. But from the perspective of writing people by events, it is best to choose something that best reflects a certain characteristic of this person and write it well. When writing, choose typical examples. The so-called typical is something that can reflect the central idea and show the good thoughts, good qualities and good feelings of the characters. For primary school students, choosing typical cases should focus on trivial matters and choose the one that best reflects profound significance. On the surface, such a thing is an ordinary trivial matter, but it contains profound significance, which is what we often say.
(B) through a few things to write people
It can be divided into two situations: therefore, a few things are used to express a quality of someone; The second is to show a person's multiple qualities with a few things. It should be noted that there are several things that can be used to describe people. These things can be complete, and the author must explain the time, place, people and events (cause, process and result) one by one, or they can be incomplete and only pay attention to some points. The point is that in an article, some things are written in detail; Some things are sketched; Some things require completeness, while others require simplicity. To write people through several things, it is also necessary to describe the appearance, movements, language and psychology of the characters.
(3) Learn to portray characters.
Writing an article should be able to describe the appearance, language, movements, psychological activities and other aspects that can best express the thoughts, feelings and personality characteristics of the characters in the narrative process, that is, to learn to portray the characters.
1. Also called portrait description, it describes the appearance, expression, clothing, posture, intonation, appearance characteristics, etc. A way to show the role. The appearance of a character is closely related to his inner world. Specifically, the description of appearance can enrich the characters and leave a deep impression on readers. By describing the appearance of the characters, the identity of the characters is revealed; Through the description of appearance, show the inner world of the characters on specific occasions; Through the description of appearance, the character, mental outlook and ideological quality of the characters are expressed.
In short, the description of appearance should closely cooperate with the characteristics of the characters and highlight the central idea of the article. The description of appearance should be vivid, avoid facial makeup, and oppose the writing method of partial priority, which is the same for 1000 people from head to toe.
2. There are two kinds of language descriptions: dialogue and monologue.
Dialogue is a conversation between two or more people; Monologues are monologues of characters. Language is the direct expression of characters' inner world and plays an important role in expressing characters' thoughts and personalities. Only a language with individual characteristics can play the role of listening to his words and observing people. Language description should pay attention to the following two points: first, the language of the characters in the article should be carefully screened, and those languages that can best express the character characteristics and express the central idea should be written into the article; Second, a good language description must conform to the situation at that time and the characteristics, identity, gender, age and cultural accomplishment of the characters. There are four forms of dialogue description: what is said is written at the back, and the speaker is quoted at the back; What is said comes first, and the person who said it is written at the end, with quotation marks and periods; Quote one or more sentences before and after, and explain who said it in the middle, using commas; Write only the language of the characters, not the speaker. These four forms should be flexible according to actual needs, and rigid writing should be avoided.
3. Action description
It is a way to express a character's thoughts and character through his movements and actions. A person's behavior is often the truest externalization of his thoughts, feelings and personality characteristics. Look at a person, not only by what he says, but also by what he does. As the saying goes, listen to what he says and watch what he does. Therefore, action description is an important means to directly depict characters, show their mental outlook and write them vividly. So, how to describe the actions of the characters?
First, select the key actions to write. When a person does one thing, there will be many actions. But they can't and don't need to write these actions one by one. This requires choosing the key and most meaningful actions to write.
Secondly, the writing is accurate. The same action can be expressed by many verbs, but only those verbs that are distinctive and can best reflect the character temperament can make people live. A writer once said that the most difficult thing is not to write actions, but to write distinctive actions and write people from actions.
4. Psychological description
The inner activities of psychological characters are silent languages. The inner world of characters refers to complex feelings such as joy, sadness, joy, sadness, hesitation, jealousy and yearning. When writing a character's article, properly describing the character's psychology can portray the character more effectively and highlight the central idea. The requirements of psychological description are: to be true and well-founded; The psychological changes of characters should be natural and reasonable; Psychological description should serve the central idea of the article; When describing the psychological activities of characters, we should be objective and cautious, and we should not judge the intentions of others with our own hearts.
Primary school students often use the first person when writing (I live with us). With this personalized composition, they can't write the psychological activities of the characters in the form he wants, because I can't go into other people's minds to see them. At this point, we can change the way-it may be more reasonable to work hard on the language, demeanor and movements of the characters, which makes people feel true and credible.
In addition to what I think, psychological description can also adopt the following methods.
(1) Ask questions and introduce your ideas.
(2) reveal psychological activities with assumptions.
(3) between the lines, showing consideration.
(4) Express your thoughts directly.
