How to grasp the author’s emotional attitude in prose

Prose has the characteristics of complex content, flexible writing style, implicit sentiment, and "the body is scattered and the spirit is gathered together". So, how can we accurately grasp the author's emotional attitude and truly understand the prose? ? 1. Finding accurate writing clues is the premise and foundation for accurately grasping emotional attitudes. Textual clues play an important role in reading prose as a whole and grasping emotional attitudes. This requires us to find accurate clues and understand the ideas in the "form" of a wide selection of materials and free writing, so as to accurately grasp the author's emotional attitude. For example, in the famous modern prose "Three Gorges of the Yangtze River", the writer Liu Baiyu took the "Jiangjin No." down the river and was "absorbed by the power of nature". He was passionate, his writing was vivid, and the scenery was changeable, but orderly and well-organized: Through "it's already twilight", "a shot of sunshine", "eight twenty", "eight fifty", "ten o'clock", "ten fifteen", "ten half past", " Specific times such as "11:15" and "noon" are used as clues to change the scene step by step, and the complicated materials are connected with a "red line" to clearly and logically show a magnificent picture of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. 2. Focusing on scene description is an effective way to accurately grasp emotional attitudes. In prose, the author often does not make empty and lyrical discussions, but looks for emotional support. "When climbing a mountain, the emotions are full of the mountains, and when looking at the sea, the meaning is overflowing from the sea." The full emotions are embedded in the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, wind, snow, clouds and mist in nature. , flowers, plants, trees, insects, fish, birds and animals, through the meticulous carving of the scenery, layer by layer, the emotions are expressed. For example, the Polish writer Ja-Iwaszkiewicz's "Chopin's Hometown" uses gorgeous chapters and delicate brushwork to describe the hometown as "resembling the most gentle piece of music, or like a light tempo falling on the black and white piano keys." Spring, summer with "melodious melodies and clear harmonies", autumn "like the unforgettable trio at the end of a melancholy sonata", and the "most beautiful" winter where "only music lasts". The organic fusion of picturesque scenery and mesmerizing music shows the great influence of the hometown on Chopin's music and Chopin's deep attachment to his motherland. 3. Analyzing key sentences is crucial to accurately grasping emotional attitudes. Prose is the art of language. Its language is often implicit, ambiguous, and emotional, and it does not shy away from exaggeration. Therefore, reading key sentences in prose, such as theme sentences, general sentences, summary sentences, transitional sentences, rhetorical sentences, implicit sentences, sentences with complex structures, etc., is crucial to grasp the author's emotional attitude. For example, in "Ode to the Mountains and Rivers of the Motherland", the modern writer Huang Yaomian goes to great lengths to describe the development process of the "Yangtze River", intending to illustrate that the beautiful motherland is just like the "boundless and mighty Yangtze River" and is in the " It has gone through many twists and turns" and "accommodated many clear and turbid tributaries" to achieve today's magnificent momentum and beautiful mountains and rivers; and at the end of the article, it is written that "the stream flows to the sea" and "the flowing water turns into plume clouds", These symbolic sentences truly reveal the author's infinite love for the motherland. 4. Using reasonable associations is a quick way to accurately grasp emotional attitudes. Prose is the most popular lyrical masterpiece, and it often becomes the most natural and appropriate expression of the author's inner emotions. When faced with a melancholy prose, you can quickly grasp the author's emotional attitude by making relevant, similar or even opposite connections, imaginations, and even empathy around the article's historical background, author's situation, and content of the work.
