2013年4月6日雅思大作文真题:人类在哪些领域取得了进步

In recent years, McEwan's creation has an obvious historical turn: in addition to atonement, "black dog" and "Saturday" and other works were involved in the cold war, the Nazis and the American invasion of Iraq and other social events, highlighting his strong historical consciousness and social responsibility. Maxwell had to follow at military father stationed abroad, listen to what he had his father not to mind taking the trouble in Dunkirk during the retreat and was removed after the hospital experience. Although the writer can not experience the battlefield, but "war haze grew up" he always has a kind of hard feelings to the history of the fathers (Kellaway, 2001). The parody of history in atonement is based on his father's experience, and follows two clues, namely, military retreat in the front and the hospital in the rear. Shortly after World War II, British and French allied forces were quickly defeated by German lightning raids. Dunkirk is the last resort to retreat temporary massive military retreat. With the help of all the people, nearly 340 thousand of the British troops evacuated in just a few days, keeping human resources behind the battle. The matter has been transferred to the Second World War myth, known as the "Dunkirk miracle". But in the eyes of Robbie novel "Dunkirk miracle" is tantamount to funk, he "felt that the withdrawal is a burning shame and humiliation. He felt ashamed." Make the reader feel trembling, "retreat was a bloody massacre, exposed before is" hanging on the tree, "the child's leg stump to" and can be seen everywhere in the body. But only for the beaches of Dunkirk fled to the collapse of the military have been completely indifferent. A nation, a civilization, will collapse before its eyes. This "Robbie saw several of the soldiers hit a British Royal Air Force to take the case," There is not much left. personal responsibility is all gone, but there are more and more soldiers around to see. The reader has not completely in the so-called capital spend million people united as one man in the history of the evacuation, some just boring soldiers to torture others and get pleasure. Virtually, writers disclose the loss of personal dignity and the fall of collective humanity caused by war. Maxwell by parodying retreat to Dunkirk, will be very touching the historical picture for the treatment of micro or even negative, no doubt with irony. To this end, some people can not help but condemn the writers who have no respect for historical facts and indulge themselves in the suspicion of unfounded historical imagination. But people who know the style of wheat know that they are very "documentary"". The creation process of atonement goes through a great deal of historical research work. But writers always say their works: "imitate the real world, but have a certain immunity to it" (McEwan, 2007:, 47). This attitude of "both self referential and contradictory claims about historical events and characters" is essentially the spirit of parody (Linda, 2009). This shows that the history of the novel has not been elevated, but intentionally transplanted into a particular individual experience and awareness, which highlights the writer's concern for life itself. Such a history is undoubtedly strange, but it provides a more communicative and interpretive history than the unchangeable and rigid official history. In addition, Mak also through the perspective of Brian Bnnie to lead readers to visit the situation in the back hospital. In order to make up for their youth crime, Brian Bnnie gave up the chance to go to University of Cambridge, to join the voluntary hospital nurse work ", all day immersed in the bedpan, bottle washing, wiping and drying and other complicated things. But even more than this routine, exhausting nursing, she was terrified of seeing soldiers burn their skin, split their heads, and break their intestines. Among them, the writer focuses on the picture of Brian Bnnie cleaning a soldier whose face is blown up. "His face has been destroyed, and pink flesh is exposed to the air.". From his missing cheek, he could see his upper and lower molars, and his sparkling tongue. Long and shocking." This picture can not help but badly mutilated, frightful to the ear we think of the writer "Ian the terrible" nickname. Here the writer still adopted the method of writing the history of the body, as he himself said: "I indulge in vivid detail or rich picture of the scene, which can cause unspeakable emotion" (McEwan, 2007: 46). Thus, compared with the cold, impersonal figures and dates recorded in the official history, writers prefer to discover exciting lower case histories in a grand historical context. During the creation of atonement, there were still survivors of World War ii. They have a lot of people suffering from shell shock, the past is very sensitive, even refuses to talk about. Out of respect for the survivors, the writer devoted himself to writing the parts of the hospital to investigate the most powerful British Royal War Museum, in an effort to minimize the crime of fiction. But the disappointment is that most of the war history that writers can find is about military and political. The rear hospital has become insignificant, and hospital care has been neglected." (McEwan, 2007:, 46) it is interesting that Michael's only find about the hospital is written by British female writer Lucille Andrews (Lucilla Andrews) with an autobiography of the novel "no romance at all".
