Second, text analysis
1. Write carefully
The full text has only five short natural paragraphs, and the length is not long. The author describes ordinary things in vivid and plain language, from which he realizes the profound truth of life. The first three paragraphs of this paper describe three common things, namely, moths survive, melon seeds struggle, and listening to the heartbeat. The last two paragraphs are naturally the author's reflection on life caused by his own life experience. This article is written in depth, and the thinking caused by things and people is gradually deepening.
The following is a brief explanation of the examples and ideas in this paper:
Example: thinking
Moth: the desire of life and the meaning of life
Sweet Melon Seeds: Vitality, Value of Life
Heartbeat: cherish and struggle in life.
Step 2 focus on the essence
What does moth mean at the beginning? There are two understandings: one is that it does not harm life, and the other is that all living things have a strong desire to survive. From the full text, it is not how to treat small animals, but life itself, so the first understanding is wrong and the second understanding is right. The moth's life is facing a serious threat, and it struggles hard. In fact, this kind of struggle is almost useless. If I want to kill it, it can't escape. Although it is a useless struggle, we must fight. It can be seen that all living things have a strong desire to survive, and no matter how dangerous, they will not give up their efforts to survive. In other words, life loves itself. Small insects are like this, let alone people.
The example of melon seedlings, from the perspective of the birth of life, is a powerful vitality. The environment in which this sweet melon seed lives has almost no growth conditions. There is no sunshine and soil in the cracks of the brick in the corner. Its germination needs to "break out of the shell", but it still germinates and grows into a small melon seedling. The author couldn't help singing an ode to life for it.
The beating of the heart is a sign of life activities. Listening to your heartbeat is the easiest way to feel life. With a sense of life, you will seriously think about life. The author's thinking has three points, which are gradually deepening.
The first thing to think about is that you must be responsible for yourself and make good use of your life to make it more meaningful. Two "Yes … Yes" are two attitudes towards life and two values of life. The former is a responsible attitude, while the latter is an irresponsible attitude.
The second thought answers how to treat the shortness of life and how to treat birth, aging, illness and death. Some people are pessimistic and regard life as a dream, while others eat, drink and be merry in time because life is short. The attitude of being responsible for life should be "let the limited life play its infinite value and let us live more wonderfully".
The third point of thinking is to put goals and beliefs into action. "Never let it slip away from me in vain", that is to say, cherish life, cherish time and make unremitting efforts. Struggle for life, "living bravely" means overcoming all kinds of difficulties with tenacious will. The author has been troubled by diseases since he was a child. The so-called "brave living" is specifically a tenacious struggle with diseases.
It seems contradictory to say that the small melon seedlings "thrive and stand tall" and "only lived for a few days", but it is not contradictory. Observing the small melon seedlings in the cracks in the corner bricks, you will know that this is not contradictory. The growth of small melon seedlings, originally relying on the nutrition of melon seeds, really thrives and stands tall. However, it grows in the cracks of bricks without sunlight and soil. Once the nutrition of sweet melon seeds is exhausted, there is no new nutrition absorption, and they live for a few days and die.
Step 3 elaborate on the difficulties
Appreciate the use of good words in the article and compare and analyze why they are used well: for example, in the case of "melon seeds fighting", "unexpectedly (unexpectedly) a small melon seedling appeared." What kind of power does that little seed contain, so that it can break through the hard shell and rise indomitable (tenaciously) in the cracks of bricks without sunshine and soil, grow sturdily and stand proudly. It only lived for a few days, but I am in awe of its vitality. "Can you change the words in brackets? Why? In order to taste the role of words in expressing feelings. Students discuss and speak, and the teacher concludes: "Unexpectedly" only represents an accident, and "Unexpectedly" also contains another unexpected admiration (because it is a harsh environment without sunshine and soil); " "Stubborn" is just a character, "unyielding" is not only a character, but also a character, an upward character who is not afraid of difficulties and tenacious survival; Respect is a kind of respect from the bottom of my heart.
On life, the famous Soviet writer ostrovsky once said: "Life is the most precious thing for people. Life is only once for everyone. How should this only life be spent? Whenever I recall the past, I can not regret wasting my time and not be ashamed of being mediocre; On his deathbed, he can say, "My life and all my energy have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world-the struggle for human liberation". Ostrovsky fulfilled his promise with his young life, and gave firm answers on how to look at the shortness of life, how to make good use of life, how to make life more meaningful, how to cherish life and how to make unremitting efforts. Our Lei Feng also wrote an ode with his young life to make life more meaningful.
