Childhood is the first part of Gorky's autobiography trilogy, which mainly describes Aletha's childhood. The other two in the trilogy, On Earth and My University, mainly describe alessa's adolescent experience. In order to let readers have a complete understanding of Aletha's growing process, here is a brief introduction to the contents of the last two works. On Earth depicts Alesha's experience of going out to make a living. He suffered a lot from life, did all kinds of labor, was bullied, insulted, fooled, even beaten and framed, experienced the hardships at the bottom of social life and realized the ugliness of human nature. However, grandma's kindness, chef's integrity and La Reine Margot's erudition made him see the bright side of life. His contact with cultural relics appraisers, firefighters and carpenters also made him feel that human nature is multifaceted and complicated. He loves books so much that he reads all the books he can meet whenever he has the chance, which makes him suffer a lot. My university described his activities and growing experience in Kazan. He 16 years old came to Kazan with the hope of going to college, but his dream could not be realized. The slums and docks of Kazan became his social university. He has no place to live and shares a bed with others. Working in docks, bakeries and grocery stores. Later, due to contact with college students, middle school students, members of secret groups and revolutionaries exiled from Siberia, their thoughts changed. He read works of revolutionary democracy and Marxism until he took part in revolutionary activities. Under the guidance of revolutionaries, he got rid of the mental crisis of suicide. During his four years in Kazan, his thoughts, knowledge and social experience have made great progress. 19 14 Russian writer Thoreau Cooper wrote: "I felt sorry when I read Gorky's autobiographical novel trilogy in the Writer's Diary. I can't help thinking of lev tolstoy's sweet childhood. On the contrary, it is fighting, fighting Europe and whipping ... it is simply a sadist who is psychologically incomprehensible. " Indeed, the whole "childhood" depicts a colorful, bizarre and indescribable life. That life seems to be a tragic fairy tale told by a kind and extremely honest genius. In that dark life, there were too many cruel social affairs. If a child does something wrong, he should take off his pants and be beaten. In order to separate, the father and son fought and even beat their heads off; Grandma has no fault and can't escape grandpa's punching and kicking; Uncle Mikhail made fun of the old craftsman grigori with a red-hot thimble. Mother knelt on the ground and begged her stepfather not to fool around outside. Stepfather kicked her in the chest in boots. Grigori worked for his grandfather all his life. When he was blind and lost his ability to work, he was driven out of the dyehouse and lived on the streets begging for food. Grandpa not only exploited the workers cruelly, but also was denied by his six relatives. When cooking tea with his wife, he has to count the tea in his hand carefully for fear of losing money. Finally, he kicked his wife and grandson out of the house and left them to fend for themselves. However, despite so many horrible and ugly things described in the work, the whole work still exudes optimism like sunshine penetrating through clouds. Aletha, the hero, is not overwhelmed by the hardships, pain and humiliation of life. He is full of confidence, works hard, breaks through all kinds of obstacles and misfortunes, and constantly explores a new life. This optimism makes his works have a positive color in ideological content. Gorky, the author, repeatedly explained in his childhood: "Whenever I recall the oppressive, dirty and barbaric life in Russia, I often ask myself: Is it necessary to write about this ugly behavior?" I always answer myself confidently: it is necessary! Because this is the living ugly reality of life, which still exists at present. To change this reality, to remove its influence from people's memories and hearts, and from our heavy and dirty life, we must thoroughly understand this reality. ""I describe this ugly behavior in real life for a more positive reason: although these ugly behaviors are disgusting and make us feel depressed; Although they have killed countless beautiful souls, the hearts of Russians are still so healthy and young, and they are overcoming and finally being able to overcome this ugly behavior. " "Our life is wonderful. In our life, although there is fertile soil that breeds all kinds of shameless scum, this fertile soil will eventually grow into an excellent, healthy and creative force, and grow into a kind and humane thing, constantly inspiring us to build a bright and humane new life. "On the one hand, it shows Gorky's aesthetic principle: writers don't have to avoid any ugliness in life, but their purpose is to attract people's attention and completely eliminate it. They firmly believe that human society has a self-regulation mechanism of truth, goodness and beauty. On the other hand, it also shows that Gorky's purpose in writing his tragic childhood experience is not to show people how sympathetic and pitiful he is, nor to simply recall his childhood life, but to tell readers with his own personal experience, no matter how bad the environment is and how difficult life is. There are always some kind and beautiful people who can cultivate healthy and upright hearts with an upward heart in a dirty environment. So we say that the ideological content of this book is positive, not decadent. The works mainly portray two kinds of characters, and the author expresses his love and hate for them through the narration of these two kinds of characters. There are two kinds of characters: one is a selfish and cruel person represented by grandpa, and the other is an honest and kind person represented by grandma. Grandpa is a very annoying person in Aletha.
