第二节续写构思
本章第一节已讲解了读后续写的审题方法和技巧。在这一节中主要学习如何在原文给定信息的基础上构思续写的故事。在新高考读后续写考试中,可以按照“二条四点”法进行综合创作构思,其中“二条”侧重将数文的故事脉络加以延续,“四点”侧重续写部分段落之间的逻辑关联,“二条”和“四点”均可帮助写作者签填充情节。接下来将针对如何使用这两种方法进行讲解和练习。
一、定二条
读后续写的原文通常由两条主线引导,一条叫做剧情线(Plot line),另一条叫做情感线(Emotion line)。剧情线是文章中的明线。一篇记叙文会先交代故事背景和主要人物,并在此基础之上展开情节。随着剧情的逐步推进,故事发展到高潮部分,由于剧情矛盾冲突愈发尖锐,主人公需要采取行动,使问题得到解决或使牙盾得到平息,并最终结束剧情。在读后续写中,需要牢牢把握剧情主线的走向,分析故事发展的前因后果,借助剧情发展来理解和构思人物的行为。
情感线是文章中的暗线。每一个故事的创作,都不只为了讲清楚一件事情的来龙去脉,而是要包含作者想要传达的人物情绪,这种情绪的变化往往贾穿全文,并在故事结尾时自然结束或得到升华。在整个故事的发展过程中主人公的情感随事件发展逐步产生变化每当事件发展有重大变化时人物的内心世界就会产生相应改变。在读后续写中,把握好人物情感的变化,可以使续写内容更贴合人物性格,从而达到续写内容与给定原文情感上的融洽。
接下来,以2020年7月新高考全国I卷读后续写真题为例,学习如何梳理这两条线。阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems,and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife,who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy —— his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,”she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara.“He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room,the children sat thinking about Bernard.“I wish we could help him to earn money,”said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,”said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments,John said nothing,but,suddenly,he sprang to his feet and cried,“I have a great idea!I have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
The other children a
