来自巴黎的第1封明信片 -- 又见海明威
读书会友,好处众多。会已经谢世的朋友就更有趣了。 我们可以让时间倒流。4年前碰到的“老爸”时候,他功名成就,光环笼罩,《老人与海》的出版使他稳操诺贝尔文学奖的胜卷。
这 会儿,再见到的海明威,时间倒退了近30年。同他一起散步在塞纳河畔,一起坐在烟雾缭绕的巴黎小酒馆,一起去阿尔卑斯山滑雪,一起徜徉在卢森堡公园,一起 到斯泰因女士家做客,一起去西尔维亚.比奇图书馆借书,等等这一切将是6个星期之久的巴黎之旅对我的馈赠。 不用担心,好东西要跟朋友分享的。

时间:2012年1月11日
领读:潇竹
出席:挠挠,萤火虫,竹林子,姥姥,大雁,老牛,紫罗兰,潇竹
缺席:Alice,雪,丽丽,水竹
- 由于种种原因4名书友缺席,12金钗只有8名到场,少了1/3的会员,就像三只脚的鼎少了一条腿,有点晃悠 :-)
- 虽然会场显得有点儿清冷,但不乏热情与真挚情感的表露。
- 由于数次亮出“Digression" 的红牌,跑题的次数顿时剧减。整整90分钟的讨论,大家认真回答老师提出的4个总结性问题。
- 潇竹老师和挠挠同学剧认真的态度,值得我们老嬉皮同学好好学习。
- 我们最大的收获是: 开始喜欢上这本书了,这都归功于老师不厌其烦地注释,让我们看到了以前自己在读这本书时候看不到的,意识不到的更深层的东西。
- 年纪不分大小,时代地域不是问题,我们都是麦田里的守望者, 让我们好好地呵护《读书会》这块儿土地。

麦田里的守望者

I won't post notes and questions like this for every chapter. This is just to give you an idea of the kinds of things you need to pay attention to when you read.(我不会每章都将笔记和问题发给大家。 只是给一点点启发,在读书时应对那些内容多加注意。)

1. Give as many episodes in the book as you can where Holden is a
"catcher in the rye". (请尽你所能给出霍尔敦在书中扮演“麦田里的守望者”的情景。)
2. Stereotypes of Holden include: "whiny teenager", "rebellious
teenager", "vulgar teenager", "sex-crazed teenager", "misogynistic
teenager", "crazy/mentally ill teenager". Do you find any truth in any
of them? Find examples in the text that you think support your
opinion. (霍尔敦模式化包括:“爱抱怨的青少年”,“反叛的青少年”,“粗俗的青少年”,“性恋狂的青少年”, “厌恶女人的青少年”,
“疯/有心里疾病的青少年”。 你认为这些正确吗?请在书中找到支持你观点的文字?)
3. What is going to become of Holden? How do you see his future? (霍尔敦将成

Shawshank Redemption in Google Group
Hello Readers,
This well-known publication is short, only 60 plus pages. Its movie version has many important differences and our reading questions will be focused on the book version, not the movie. If any one wishes to compare the book and movie, please feel free to share with us your insights. I know about the movie first and just recently finished the novel. I’ve divided the questions into three sections under brutality, fear and hope.
Brutality = 殘暴
1. Who are the characters of the violent inmates in the Shawshank? A few names here? Too much to image from the outside world?
有哪些人是《肖申克》里暴力成性的犯人? 能说出几个名字吗?大墙外的人是很难想得到的?
2. What types of the inmate‘s violence are ? Emotional, physical, and sexual? All of the above?
都有什么样的残暴:情感上的,肉体上的,性方面的?
3. Andy’s defiance of the Sisters succeeded only because of what?
安迪不屈服 “姐妹”的成功秘诀是什么?
4. Is “isolation” a form of brutality?
“隔离反省”是不是一种残暴?
Fear = 恐惧
5. Violence induces fear. What are the fear factors in inmates’ lives?
暴力造成恐惧。犯人生活中的恐惧因素有哪些?
6. What were Andy’s fears?
安迪的恐惧是什么?
7. Did Red talk about his fears?
雷德谈到过他的恐惧吗?
8. What are the prison wardens’ fears?
监狱看守的恐惧是什么?
Hope = 希望
10. What offers and presents as hope for Andy?
什么给予了安迪以希望 ?
11. How did Andy plan for his eventual escape?
安迪是如何筹划他的最终出逃?
12. Did Andy offer hope to others? Who and why?
安迪有没有给别人带来希望?哪些人? 为什么?
13. Was the new name “Peter Stevens” a sign of hope for Andy?
"彼德 史蒂文"这个名字是不是安迪的一线希望?
14. How was a friendship developed and how had that friendship benefited Andy and Red?
安迪和雷德的友谊是如何发展起来的?他们之间的友谊是如何让两人都得倒好处?
15. Why did Red write the book and how did he hide the manuscript when he was paroled.
雷德为什么写这本书?他又是如何在监外执行时把草稿带出的?
In reflections: = 回想一下
