Recently, Modern Writing published a small poem "River":
At night
I held a flashlight
Take a picture of the river
The kid who drowned half a year ago
See there is light
Just look up
Smile at me
Some parents said after reading it that the picture of this poem is very strong, and my children were frightened after reading it, and such poems are not suitable for publication in junior high school students' books.
I don't agree with this parent's point of view.
First of all, as a junior high school student, many children like to watch ghost movies, and they are very bold. In the poem, I saw a drowned child writing homework in the river, laughing at me, and such a text is a small witch compared to the horror plot in the ghost movie, and it is not afraid at all.
Secondly, if you insist that this little poem is terrifying, it is only a feeling at first glance, and if you read it a second time, you will feel that this little poem is actually hidden: why is this drowned child writing homework in the river instead of doing something else? Why is he smiling at me? Is there some kind of innuendo and implication?
Finally, savor the poem, the meaning of which is not difficult to understand.
If this little poem is a thriller poem, it is better to say that it is a endorsement poem written for the majority of middle school students.
In recent years, the drowning and death of middle school students has occurred frequently, and just when I wrote the micro-headline yesterday, I also saw two news reports of the deaths of junior high school students and high school students. Although the reason for the death is not mentioned in the text, under the test-taking education, the heavy burden of coursework is absolutely inseparable. The child, who had been drowning for half a year, was still writing homework in the river, indicating that the large amount of homework had long since become a mountain pressed against the students' heads. The stress for the kids is great.
In a sense, the poem "River" is an indictment of test education.
But the child is still laughing, indicating that he chose this extreme way to bid farewell to the world, which is also a helpless move, and he is still full of infinite desire and attachment to a better life.
Jiang Erni, the author of this small poem "River", is a 14-year-old middle school student. At such a young age, I can have such a unique perspective, rich imagination, and profound understanding of life, which makes my uncle feel admired.
It is said that Erni wrote "The Lamp" when she was very young: the lamp burned a hole in the night. And "Light": At night / I turn on the flashlight for a walk / When I'm tired, I use it as a crutch / I carry a beam of light.
At present, the young author has published more than 1,000 poems and won numerous awards.
I am optimistic about Jiang Erni, her poetry is frank, pure, bold in imagination, unique in perspective, she is a good seedling for writing poetry, and her future is immeasurable.
Therefore, Jiang Erni's poems can be completely published in the reading materials of junior high school students. Because this is not only an affirmation and encouragement for herself, but also an influence and enlightenment for the writing of other junior high school students. #Spring Tea Party###Graphic Creation Punch Card Challenge Activity ##初中读物出现 "Thriller" Poems #
