As everyone knows, "The Giant's Garden" is a text in the second book of the fourth grade of primary school. The text tells of a selfish giant who wouldn't let his children play in the garden, and as a result there was no spring in the garden. Without vitality, giants have no happiness. When he was inspired by his children, corrected his mistakes, and was with them, he got a happy and joyful life.
The use of contrasting techniques in many places in the whole text makes the center more distinct, and better expresses the theme idea that happiness can be shared with everyone is the real happiness.
What is contrast? What are the benefits of comparison?
Contrast is the rhetorical technique of arranging the two sides with obvious differences, contradictions and opposites together, and comparing and comparing. Contrast can make good and bad, good and evil, beauty and ugliness form an opposition, giving people a very clear image and a very strong feeling.
The comparisons in the text are:
1. Contrast of the scenery in the garden before and after the giant's wall:
Flowers bloom in spring, trees are lined up in summer, fresh fruits are fragrant in autumn, and snow is white in winter.
But for some reason, it was still winter in the giant's garden, and every day the wind was fierce and the snow was flying.
2. Comparison of giants' behavior and attitudes towards children:
After driving away the children, the giant built a fence around the garden and erected a "no entry" sign.
So he immediately demolished the wall and gave the garden to the children.
3. The contrast between the feelings of giants after building walls and demolishing walls:
The giant spent the long harsh winter alone; the giant was wrapped in a blanket and trembling. He thought, "Why is this spring so cold, so desolate..."
The giant lives in a beautiful garden and among the children, and feels incomparably happy.
These sets of contrasts in the text, the performance of the giant is good and bad, the inner good and evil, the beauty and bad of the garden environment, and the loneliness and happiness of the giant, leaving a deep and distinct impression on people, with a very strong inner shock, a good interpretation of the main theme of the text.
Students, today's sharing is here, I hope that students can learn and use the technique of contrast.
