读后续写入门篇之设计结尾
在读后续写中,结尾发挥着至关重要的作用。除基本的揭示故事结局外,在表现手法上,结尾还应与前文伏笔照应,使人觉得在情理之中;与前文形成对比,点明主旨,深化主题。在人物形象塑造上,结尾应表现人物的心理、性格、品质、经历、命运、能力等。
其实,小说结尾有很多种结尾方式,例如欧·亨利式结尾以“意料之外、情理之中”而闻名,但这种结尾多出现于短篇小说中,在限时的考场作文中很难达到。因此,本讲仅介绍以下三种简单易学的结尾方式:哲理式结尾、以景结情、自然结尾,并提供了一些优秀的结尾佳句。
【典例】 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。
As I walked home one freezing day, I saw a wallet with a red lacing on the street.I picked it up and looked inside to find something about the owner's identity.But the wallet contained only three dollars and a letter that looked as if it had been there for many years.
The envelope was so worn that I could read only the return address on it.I opened the letter, hoping to find some clues.I found the letter was written almost 60 years ago.It was written in a beautiful handwriting with a little flower in the left-hand corner.It was to a man named Michael Goldstein, saying that the writer couldn't see him any more because her mother didn't allow it.Even so, she wrote that she would always love him.
It was signed, Hannah.I felt sad because I couldn't get useful information.After searching for the return address on the envelope, I finally found that Hannah was now in a nursing home.
I drove over to the nursing home.A nurse and a guard greeted me at the door.Knowing my purpose, the nurse led me to the third floor.In the day room, she introduced me to Hannah.
She was a sweet, silver-haired old lady.I told her about the wallet and showed her the letter.The second she saw the envelope with that little flower, she took a deep breath and said, “Young man, this letter was the last contact I had with Michael.He was so handsome.He looked like Sean Connery, the actor.I loved him very much.But I was only 16 then.My mother felt I was too young.If you can find him, tell him I think of him often.And…I still love him.”
I said goodbye to her and took the elevator to the first floor.As I stood by the door, the guard asked me if I got any clue from Hannah.I told him she gave me a story.
