马克吐温作品赏析(哈克贝利费恩历险记)详案
马克·吐温(Mark Twain),美国作家、演说家,真实姓名是萨缪尔·兰亨·克莱门(Samuel Langhorne Clemens)。“马克·吐温”是他的笔名,原是密西西比河水手使用的表示在航道上所测水的深度的术语。代表作品有小说《百万英镑》、《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》、《汤姆·索亚历险记》等。
《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》是马克·吐温创作的长篇小说,是小说《汤姆·索亚历险记》的续集,首次出版于1885年。
故事的主人公是在《汤姆·索亚历险记》中就跟读者见面的哈克贝利·费恩。哈克贝利是一个聪明、善良、勇敢的白人少年。他为了追求自由的生活,逃亡到密西西比河上。在逃亡途中,他遇到了黑奴吉姆。吉姆是一个勤劳朴实、热情诚实、忠心耿耿的黑奴,他为了逃脱再次被主人卖掉的命运,从主人家中出逃。两个人历经种种奇遇。这部小说从思想到技巧都有许多创新。小说赞扬了男孩哈克贝利的机智和善良,谴责了宗教的虚伪和信徒的愚昧,同时,塑造了一位富有尊严的黑奴形象。

教学反思:基本实现既定教学目标,同学们了解了马克吐温及其主要作品《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》。学习了文章中出现的主要词汇,并进行了一定的人物性格分析及主题总结。但是由于平时同学们接触这类名著阅读及赏析的机会比较少,同学们的兴趣大多停留在对作品内容的了解上,以至于对人物性格分析等比较生疏。在以后的教学中,应争取增加类似名著教学课程的开始,使同学们在赏析名著的同时能够进行一定的英语名著阅读,扩大词汇量,了解英语思维,以全面提高英语阅读能力。
