The story of "The Big Man in the First Grade and the Little Man in the Second Grade" couldn't be simpler, but it is the story of a girl and a boy. Akiyo is a second-grade girl, short in stature but strong in stature. He is also a boy who is only in the first grade, tall and big, but he is a coward who loves to cry his nose. One day, the two of them met, and an ordinary story happened to two children...
This is a novel about the daily life of young children, called "early childhood novels" in Japan, that is, novels written specifically for the first and second graders of elementary school.
Such novels are easy to write and boring, so that children can't read them and throw them aside. But the writer has written a juvenile novel with neither fantasy nor bizarre plot to a very vivid, a bland story, in the writer's pen, will become so interesting!
Reading this book, we do not feel the existence of the writer at all, or even that it is a book, and there are only two children in front of us ( and of course , other children ) . They cry, we cry together, they laugh, we laugh together, and unconsciously, we fit into the story. If the reader is a child, he will feel that he is telling his own story; if he is an adult, he will feel that he is telling his childhood.
This is because the writer has thought too thoroughly about the child's psychology. Sometimes, as we read, we wonder if the writer has penetrated into the eyes of a child!
The image of several children jumps on the paper, and it is inseparable from the writer's description of the scenery around them. These landscapes are definitely not optional, and by the last page you will find that all landscapes are related to the child in the story. At the front of the book, there is also a map. The landscapes mentioned in the book, the landscapes that the writer looks at every day, are painted on this map.
Although it is a juvenile novel, the book has a very big, very big theme, which is a theme of "growing up".
Not only is Zheng, who is timid and afraid of things, but also under the encouragement of the Autumn Dynasty, he has grown up and become self-reliant, in fact, under the encouragement of Zhengye, he has been looking forward to growing tall in the Autumn Dynasty, and finally has also grown. Of course, two people, like the same, are a kind of spiritual growth. When talking about the growth of children, Furuta Ashori once said that there is a "festival" in the growth of children, and he further explained that children's growth is not a straight line forward, due to the accumulation of experience, one day, there will be a sudden change, will rise rapidly, this is the "festival" in growth. When writing this book, Furuta Shizuri added thoughts on "festivals".
I think that if there are classics in the juvenile novels, then this book is a classic among the classics.
It's a small story, but it's a big one, so a small story becomes a big story.
That's why I say it is: small story, big deal.
Furuta Ashikaga is no ordinary writer, he is a household name in Japan. Of course, the great writer who wrote children's books was not only Furuta Ashori, but at the same time he had published so many theoretical works and shocked the entire Japanese children's literature circle, and only Furuta Ashori was alone.
So, he made a big deal out of it.
After reading the title of the book "First Grade Big Man Second Grade Little Man", what do you think?
Heck, I seem to hear someone talking.
"The first grade is a small man, the second grade is a big man, and the title of the book is not wrong, right?"
Is it? How exactly?
Well, please read this book first!
