Is Alice Munroe s escape suitable for high school students

High school students here have already finished reading it, so let's say that every book will have an impact on people, and it will fade over time. It's not that the content is inappropriate, there is no such thing as being suitable for high school students, but it's just that if you want to know the author, or if you have a similar experience that is easy to resonate, or just admire and read it, of course it's okay. If you're just choosing a book to read in the middle of your busy studies, I suggest you read it if you have extra time.

I don't like the article "Escape", it is long and lacks foreshadowing, but the meaning is very simple. Personal opinion.

Actually, it should be more suitable, here is a high school student who has just graduated, and has been reading books about her since she won the award. Monroe's writing is quite delicate, and the basic starting point is the heart of women and their more private depths, and there may be some small tangles and obscurities in some places, but the resonance is still quite strong after reading it.

I'm a high school student. It plunged me into an extremely long and frightening period of confusion after reading it. But on the other hand, reading it also has the benefit of reading it. For example, next time I won't feel so dazed by a book.

After reading the chapter on escape in shu, and a third of the text of chance. It's really hard to understand, I can't read it anymore, what to do.

Although, it will affect the mind a little, but in general, it is good to accept these during the undefined period of life, and have a deeper understanding of life.

I'm a high school student, I've finished my studies, and I'm ...... completing the project

Whether it is suitable or not depends on whether you like it or not.

Escape, perhaps the end of the old, or the beginning of the new.

You should read the preface to this book, which is the author's introduction.

The first chapter, as I understand it, is about the relationship between happiness and freedom, and Clark's life.

Life is more like real life, with a more stable pace of life and less freedom. What Sylvia offers is more of an idealized life, with freedom. When Kara really has an extraordinary life, she realizes that she has absolute freedom, but she may not necessarily be happy.

So Kara finally returns to Clark and continues with her real life. Goat: I think it's a metaphor for a feeling of yearning for absolute freedom.

Personally, I understand it. Flora is the symbol of Kara, simple, naïve, cowardly, obviously there is a chance to escape, but there is no strong independent will to persevere, and the result of her return is that it is difficult to escape Clark's poisonous hands. Sylvia is the hope and opportunity that fate has arranged for Kara, and she has left her, and Kara's future fate is worrying...

The more you think about it, the more scary it gets)

1) The introduction on the back cover is key:

Escape, perhaps.

It's the end of the old. Maybe it's a new beginning. Maybe it's just some insignificant moments, like relaxing footsteps on the way to the play, like a longing by the window in the afternoon.

Carla, who ran away from her parents' house at the age of eighteen and now intends to escape her husband and marriage;

Juliet, who gives up her academic career and resolutely runs to a country man she meets by chance on the train;

Penelope, who has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, suddenly disappeared one day without a trace;

Grace, who was already talking about marriage, ran away with her fiancé's brother for an afternoon ...... a thought

The flashes of escaping again and again are so unpredictable and impossible to parry, maybe you have been quietly reversed by them, or maybe you have forgotten them gently.

2) Summary. The whole ** episode of "Escape" describes all kinds of people, there is always a certain time or even the future of life in life, fleeing from their original life to pursue another life, and the situation after the escape is not even happy, even sad.

And there are always some illogical escapes in life.

People will always have flashes of running away again and again, unpredictable, unable to resist, and escape is the inevitable fate of life.

In the world, there are no warriors who face everything, only cowards who turn around and flee again and again, tragedies after tragedies, directed by themselves, and no one is spared.

Ms. Monroe's writing techniques are all-encompassing and varied, in addition to the more obvious method of breaking down and reorganizing the events that occur in time and space, in the eighth story, she also uses the description of letters and diaries to perfectly transition the plot, so that when I read it, I was amazed by Ms. Monroe's amazing, radical, innovative expression and ability, and the sixth and seventh stories use a similar O'Henry-esque ending, which is really unexpected, and there may be two reasons why the subject can't understand The first reason is that the reason is more harsh and harsh, and the subject may be a school student who follows the trend of reading Insufficient values and worldview to understand the author's nuanced emotional expression The second reason is that the reading is not linked to the overall logic, and the obsession with the expression of a few words naturally feels inexplicable about the ending - Ms. Monroe's works tend to be open-ended.

"Escape" is composed of eight stories, the protagonists of the eight stories are all women, and they all live in small Canadian towns, and the details of their daily lives are the long-lost ones in contemporary **, farm work, desserts, daily communication of clear soup and little water, diaries and letters of thousands of words; The scenery around their eyes is also something we have not experienced for a long time, maple trees, wild chrysanthemums, rainy afternoons, lines on the carpet; Most of the birth, old age, sickness and death they experienced were what Margaret Atwood called "death caused by the forces of nature", dying in shipwrecks or bad weather, all of which are very Canadian, suggesting the author's regional attributes and cultural identity. But in their lives, the eerie modernity has not diminished, and "escape" is the tragic chance given to them by modern society, in "Serendipity", "Hurry", and "Silence" with Juliet as the protagonist, Juliet runs away from her job at a girls' school to follow a fisherman she meets by chance, her father runs away from his old life to become a farmer, and her daughter suddenly leaves home, abandons her, and lives a prosperous life in another place. "Escape" can be regarded as a "concept ** set", the eight stories are faintly unified by a concept and a temperament, and the life backgrounds, encounters, and emotions of the characters are also similar, and the eight stories have no sense of isolation, and the charm is not blocked, and they are mixed together to form a long scroll.

Upstream of this tradition are Sherwood Anderson and James Joyce, and even more so Faulkner.

Escaping is really hard to understand I asked my family My family said that children who are too young are difficult to understand Chapter 1 My family's opinion is that life is not too good and not too bad The heroine thinks that she can escape from her husband But she finds that she has long been used to that kind of life I want to escape but I don't have the courage Even if I have already set off, I still want to go back after all The female neighbor is deeply helping But in fact, it may be that the heroine and her husband quarrel, and the two quarrel, and they don't need to escape in this extreme way Life is a kind of running-in.

The short story "Escape" has a lot of feminist overtones. It can be seen from Sylvia's letter at the end that she originally thought that freedom and happiness were one, and it is understandable that women can only achieve true happiness if they are self-independent. But not all women can accept this view, Sylvia's idea of happiness is not recognized by Kara, and this escape fails, and feminism is overshadowed.

The lamb in the text is supposed to have been killed by her husband...

1 is just some insignificant moment, like looking.

I understand it.

Flora is a symbol of Kara's inner desire to escape from this life, and Kara's discovery of Flora's skull in the grass represents that this desire has been stifled and discarded by herself, and is re-submerged in the trivialities of life (the symbol of weeds).

Where to flee?

Read Alice. Monroe, "Escape".

A healthy and mentally chaotic young couple, emotionally and financially struggling. Clark is constantly confronted with computers, empty and rough, and his wife, Kara, is in pain, and it seems that the only way out is to leave, or rather enter a life where there is no more Clark. While working as a servant, she suddenly burst into tears, and gave her thoughts and thoughts, and received sincere and enthusiastic help from the hostess.

Refreshed, Carla hops on a long-distance car and prepares to run away from home and start a new life.

A few years ago, at the age of eighteen, she ran away from her parents' house in this way, only at that time she ran to Clark. The reason she fled was that she looked down on her parents, was tired of everything in their lives, and in her runaway letter she said she was looking for a "more real life." I don't want to think that a few years later, the people and life she ran to became another place where she had to escape.

The man who helped her was called Sylvia, and it was their neighbor, a university teacher, intellectual, rich, and sincere. When she married a poet who was 20 years older than herself, she chose to come to live in the countryside with him. After her husband's death, Sylvia has two casual memories, one is that when she comes back with the intention of picking a bouquet of violets for Leon, he looks at the flowers but is listless, like "sometimes it is no different to look at her"; In one place, Sylvia was infected and shaken by a lamb running in the night mist, and she thought that if she were a poet, she would write a poem for this magical scene," but her experience told her

Anything she thought was worth writing about, Leon would always find it uninteresting. "Leon is an award-winning poet.

This is Alice, a Canadian female writer who won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature. The content of Monroe's masterpiece "Escape". On the way out, Kara imagines the future, but suddenly feels infinitely confused, thinking of the time when she was eighteen years old.

As a result, she hurriedly got out of the car and called her husband again to ask him to pick her up, and then when Sylvia thought she had arrived in another city and slept at her friend's house, Carla slept back in her old house and went back to her old life.

The rainy season is over, the weather is getting better, and the life of the young couple seems to be starting again, and Carla feels the hope of life again, as well as the charm and cuteness of her husband. The feeling of a little comedy, but in fact, she has always suspected that it was Clark who killed the little lamb, the little sheep who ran away and returned, and running away means deciding to betray, which became a thorn in Kara's heart, and that thorn faded with the passage of time and the wear and tear of life, she didn't think much about it anymore, and even the friend Sylvia who helped her became a complete outsider. So Kara's escape became only a small adjustment for them to enter a new life.
