|由课文学阅读技法|
(一)把握短篇小说的文体特点
短篇小说的特点是篇幅短小、情节简洁、人物集中、结构精巧。它往往选取和描绘富有典型意义的生活片段,着力刻画主要人物的性格特征,反映生活的某一侧面,使读者“借一斑略知全豹”。欧·亨利的小说常采用“结尾即是高潮”的写作模式,如本文作者在故事开始用细腻的笔触埋下伏笔,勾勒矛盾,至高潮处矛盾激化,然后笔锋陡转,以一个经典的结尾揭开悬念,为故事画上句号——既在意料之外,又在情理之中,使读者回味无穷。
(二)内化短篇小说的阅读技法
1.一理故事情节,弄清结构特点。故事情节一般分开端、发展、高潮、结局四个部分,有时为了介绍人物和背景在开头加上“序幕”,为了深化升华主题在结尾加上“尾声”。
2.二析人物形象,理解典型意义。主要是抓住人物的肖像、语言、行为和心理活动来分析人物形象。
3.三凭“三要素”,把握小说主题。人物的塑造、情节的构思、环境的设置都是为表现主题服务的,所以,归纳、挖掘小说的主题应从这“三要素”入手。
