Chapter1 Introduction
O·Henry is commonly associated with the short story and the masterful ironic “O·Henry Twist”. A prolific writer, O·Henry wrote most often about New York City, where he spent his later years, He has been called “the American De Maupassant”.Years of hardships, vagrancy and prison supplied O·Henry with abundant material for writing. The tragedy in his own life —the bad luck that seemed to bind him —had taught him a chivalrous tenderness for the unlucky, a sympathetic understanding of the underdogs, and this compassion of his is evident in most of his short stories. O·Henry?s stories about New York City —the best of which are included in The Four Million—are his most famous. His works in.The Four Billionaire full of humor. His stories are amusing, flippant, flat and filled with irony and sentiment. Drawing directly on his experiences, he combined realism with a world of his own. Commonly recurring themes in O·Henry?s short stories are those of deception, mistaken identity, the effect of coincidence, the inexorable nature of fate, and the resolution of seemingly insurmountable difficulties separating two love it.Over recent hundreds of years, works of O·Henry?s have been published for several editions, and always attracting a great number of readers. O·Henry?s writing is seen as straightforward and simple, written in plain language. His stories may rely on a sameness of plot, but the sharp, unexpected twist at the end is still his distinctive trademark today.(田2005:5)As readers, we like O·Henry?s stories very much because we can get much fun from them. Lively characters, humorous style, and the surprising ending which leave us endless thinking, are the main factors to attract and strike us.
Chapter 2 O. Henry …s article style--humor
2.1 O. Henry …s article style
O. Henry good at describing the United States in particular people living in New York. His novel, witty language, the result is often surprising; because of the many descriptions of the characters and full of life, as the "Encyclopedia of American life with humor." There are representative collection of short stories, "King and cabbage", "4,000,000" and "the fate of the road." Some of the famous, such as "love at the expense" and "Police and the Hymn," "rent furnished rooms" and "The Gift of the Magi" and "the last piece of rattan leaf" to make his reputation in the world.He is a writer with a unique style, humorous works, humorous wit, vivid descriptions, concise text. Vivid description of things from the profound understanding
and extensive knowledge. He was good to observe things and the accumulation of knowledge. Good at capturing life Ironically, while the wealth to the philosophy of the dramatic scenes from the grasp of the subtle characteristics of the image using the language Painted, so that the people of flesh and blood, into the Xu-xu Health.
2.2 Humor
O. Henry once wrote: "the nature of my jokes is amiable, irony, and never make someone angry." This is his opinion of his humor, his satire, but again not ironic.he is on the basis of goodwill, and often contain the true meaning of life in accessible short stories . And another effect is that this kind of humor played down the tragic role, so readers are more likely to accept. In addition to the humorous irony, O. Henry is good at capturing the ironic and abound in life philosophy of dramatic scene, with the characteristics of writing outline of cartoon characters, the plot of the chrono set at the same time, the ending with unexpected knot,All this make readers in dismay want to find the deep connotation of the story, make the reader have to exclamation story of fair and reasonable, idea of exquisite. In addition to unxepecting ending ,the sequence in the novel text became O. Henry another feature of the nove.
In O?Henry?s short story “The Cop and the Anthem”, he makes use of the vocabulary mistake and hyperbole not only endowing figures with fresh image but also obtaining definite humorous effect. It?s a concrete display of the comedic writing style and at the same time it hints at the tragic fate of the protagonist.There is such a paragraph in the article:But as Soapy set foot inside the restaurant d o o r the head waiter?s eye fell upon his frayed trousers and decadent shoes. Strong and ready hands turned him a b o u t and conveyed him in silence and haste to the sidewalk and averted the ignoble fate of the menaced mallard.Soapy?s f irst “long for being arrested” plan i s to eat extravagantly in a luxurious restaurant—“a roast duck is almost enough!” But as he sets foot inside the restaurant door, the head waiter?s eye falls upon h i s“decadent shoes”. Decadent is always used to d e s c r i b e life style or consciousness concept. The author uses it to describe Soapy?s broken shoes and exaggerates the actuality of that broken shoe to a laughable extent. Then the author also uses the humorous remarks “turn round that r o a s t duck?s nearly being killed fate “to indicate Soapy?s hope “to eat gratis is vanished.”
Chapter3 Unique O-style ending method O. Henry's trademark is the surprising ending that each of his stories contains. He sets a story moving in one direction, and just when the reader is convinced of the general direction of the narrative, the story will be completely reversed.This kind of expected but reasonable ending which called O.Henry?s ending may be a little sorro wful but it still gives the readers some hope,which is so-called “O.Henry?s humor(smile with tears)”And if we look back to the total story, the ending seems logical and plausible. As a “plot-maker”, and designer of incident, he is an amazing genius. No on e can do better than him to holds the reader in “suspense”More than that, the reader scarcely knows that he is suspended until the very close of the story. Just as turns on the lights and the whole tale is revealed in its entirety. He uses this device of dramatic and humorous effect in the short story collection The Four Million which including
“The Gift of the Magi ”, and “The Cop and the Anthem”“the Service of Love”“The last Leaf.”He often stresses on something important but not the most important in his works.The most important part always seems to write incidentally,which been the most circumscriptive reader may if more it.When the stories end in a totally unexpected but reasonable way ,we can do nothing but cheer for O.Henry?s literary talent.
3.1 Improbable Coincidence (The Gift of the Magi)
The novel“The Gift of the Magi” is about a young couple that is short of money but desperately wants to buy each other Christmas gifts. Unknown to Jim, Della sells her most valuable possession, her beautiful hair, in order to buy platinum as the chain for Jim's watch; unknown to Della, Jim sells his most valuable possession, his watch, to buy jeweled combs for Della's hair. In the end ,both gifts became useless——short-haired Della got a comb and Jim got a chain for an already-sold watch. What a surprising coincidence! However, when we look back, we can find that O.Henry had already given us some suggestions.”Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a mighty pride. One was Jim?s gold watch that had been his father?s and his grandfather?s. The other was Della?s hair.” This description is related to how they got the money for gifts and what they bought for each other. The author used a casual and vague tone deliberately so that few people would think over its meaning before seeing the ending. So the ending turns out to be unexpected but reasonable.This coincidence is filled with complex emotions. People feel touched by the long lasting true love between the young couple and at the same time ,pity for them for their “unwise” gifts and their cruel bitter life.Though confronted with cruel reality and dull daily routine, Della and Jim can never change their eagerness toward love. To them the most valuable material possession is so slight and insignificant ,when compared with the spiritual possession of love romance.Perhaps the gifts were "unwise" as the author says, but, as he further writes, "let it be said that of all who give gifts, these two were the wisest.”In The Gift of the Magi , we feel so pity that Della has her precious long hair cut. But to our surprise ,Jim has sold the watch to buy the jeweled tortoise-shell combs for her wife?s hair. O.Henry does not end on the note of irony and surprise but gives to what he calls his uneventful coincidence of two foolish children the appearance of a little parable with a significant meaning. The magi , he reminds the reader ,were wise men who brought gifts to the Christ child. As for Jim and Della, the are the magi. This is the ending of the story with O.Henry?s own style.
Chapter4 The Main Theme of O?Henry?s Works
In his works, O.Henry presents the panorama of the American people to readers with ironic and humorous tone. O.Henry is sympathetic with the poor; he praises the human virtues and denounces human defeats. Humanity, as the eternal theme of O.Henry?s works, endows his works with perpetual artistic charm. Human being has many virtues from ancient times to the present. They are kind, brave, honest, hard-working, polite, thrifty, generous, and hospitable and so on. Some people pay a great deal in order to maintain these virtues, they sacrifice their own happiness even life for the lofty love and friendship; they help others without asking for rewards and regard it as a pleasure; they give up their own treasure and chance to others etc. Such people bring love and fine things to the world; they are the ones who endow the world with light and hope.
Human beings have many defects, too. Sometimes t h e y are lazy, rapacious, gluttonous, officious, vain, arrogant, shameless, cowardly, impetuous etc. They benefit themselves at the expense of others, they never show mercy and sympathy to the poor in order to make money, they realize their own aims by hook or by crook etc. Their evil deeds make the world vicious. By exposing the human defects and the dark sides of the world, O.Henry wants to awaken p e o p l e?s conscience and deepest desire for all good things, so that people can use their efforts to save and cleanse the whole world.
O. Henry creates a short stories which he could dominate the world , and the world as a whole is with light grey. O. Henry won't go to describe the upper-class life :a luxury and dissipation life.In contrary, he makes his writing focuse on a nobody wholives in the small world.From this world , O. Henry have created the world according to his own idea, in which expresses his sympathy as well as hate, reveals a "law of the jungle" in a capitalist society or the rule of "the great fish eat the small one". All this, we can visit O. Henry's world from the point of O. Henry's works .
Besides social deformities, O. Henry didn't forget to find a unique legend in that society. In a corner of the world, there are blooming love, friendship, lofty flowers with a spirit of sacrifice , beautiful soul and divine emotion interweaves the bright side of another society. This is mainly can be found in the part of his representative works. In The Gift of the Magi ,husband and wife be able to give up the things they proud - long hair and watch, for the Christmas gifts. Although ultimately failed to achieve, but the flower of love is brightly blossoming.
For example:
But on an unusually quiet corner Soapy came to a standstill. Here was an old church, quaint and rambling and gabled. Through one violet-stained window a soft light glowed, where, no doubt, the organist loitered over the keys, making sure of his mastery of the coming Sabbath anthem. For there drifted out to Soapy’s ears sweet music that caught and held him transfixed against the convolutions of the iron fench.
Chapter 5 Conclusion
Tota lly speaking, in O. Henry?s works, the events of some short stories are arranged in the specific order which exceed reader?s normal expectation to the arrangement of those events in his works, make the ending unpredictable and strange. O. Henry deliberately designs the little tricks with words, for he is a master of language and not its slave. These unexpected but reasonable endings, in many conditions ,are the mos t remarkable parts in the novel. They also engage something profound in the human psyche and reflect social reality in that age . device that would become identified with his name. Wit, irony, cleverness, individuality and local color are also traditional earmarks of the typical O?Henry story. In addition, his warmth of human understanding and symp athy with the “underdog” give many of his stories poignancy. In memory of his great contribution to American literature, American literary circles set up
Henry Award in 1918.

O’Henry is sympathetic with the poor; he praises the human virtues and denounces human defeats. Humanity, as the eternal theme of O’Henry’s works, endows his works with perpetual artistic charm.

But the symbolic image remains indeterminate in its possible meanings; it is usually a substantial image in its own right, around which further significances may gather according to differing interpretations. The metaphor under discussion here does not mean that as a rhetorical device or figure of speech, though the metaphorical sentences as wonderful as the one “Manhattan, the night-blooming cereus, was beginning to unfold its dead-white, heavy-odored petals” teem in O’Henry’s short stories. What is to be probed is the metaphor exploited as a skill in story-writing. In the third branch of Roads of Destiny, the hero David Mig not is a shepherd, but he is too indulged in writing poems to take enough care of his sheep. The flock steadily grows smaller and his wife keeps on complaining. Then one of his friends introduces him to a learned man called Georges Bril, David asks Monsieur Bril to read his poems, because he wants to know if he shall write more or give his attention to his sheep. When Monsieur Bril has read all the verses, he concludes that David has no talent for poem-writing. In order to tell the harsh truth in a mild way, he asks David to look at the crow in the tree. Instead of commenting on the poems directly, Monsleur Bril praises the crow that is content with his lot. In this metaphorical way he advises David tactfully not to try to write poems any more. David sees the point and feels discouraged. He goes back home and thrusts his poems into the stove.

欧亨利的个人及作品英语介绍
O.Henry’s writing styles O.Henry is one of the American famous short-story writers. His novels expose the darkness of capitalism from different angles, describe the difficult life of lower class, praise their sincere friendship, love and desire to blessed life. He always write a comedy ending to express deep social meaning, serious social reality and higher level. Furthermore, it points out the inevitability. As we all know O.Henry’s ending is always unexpected. He will suddenly change the inner world of the figures in an unbelievable way, or reverse the fate of the hero. In most time, it will make people feel in track, but the majority will think it reasonable after a while, such as “The Cop and the Anthem”. In the passage, Souby wanted to be in a prison so he made troubles outside. However, his hopes always were defeated. When Souby was reclaimed by the Anthem and decided to live a new life. Unfortunately, policemen put him into prison on some trumped-up charge. When all people assume he will be safe through life, policemen took him to a court. This is a typical O.Henry’s ending, which puts people into a dark hole with thinking deeply. And yet O.Henry just use this way to reflect the reality of being unable to distinguish the good from the bad. The artistic effects of O.Henry’s ending does not always appear in the end. For example, there are two plots in the “The Cop and the Anthem”. One is that Soupy molested a woman, but in an opposite manner, the woman molested him. The other is that Soupy took away a cus tomer’s illegal umbrella. Both a simple and attractive woman and a well-dressed customer give readers a decent feeling, but in fact, they are not the people what we are thinking. I believer everyone will think it is incredible like me. Only if we think carefully is it normal. After all, those people really exist in our society. Is everyone in upper-class noble, kind and well-behaved? Of course not, someone just put their dirty behaviors under their beautiful mask. In order to express the inner dirtiness, O.Henry had to decorate a lot in the passage. Although what it is isn’t as how it is, in short, it is reasonable. O.Henry’s ending exposed the public morals going from bad to worse of capitalism in the humors.

Throughout O.Henry’s work,the plot develops unexpectedly at the end of the story.When the readers feel dismayed,they actually believe that the author really gives a reasonable end of the story.It’s quite fantastic.Henry is also good at observing things and focus on details,which makes his writing lively.Anyhow,“The Gift of the Magi”and “The Last Leaf”give me an impression mostly. The Gift of the Magi mainly tells the story that the day before Christmas,poor Della want to give her husband Jim a surprise.However,she only had one dollar and eighty-seven cents.She knew that the little money was not enough to buy a nice present.So Della sold her long,beautiful hair which fell about her shoulders “like a cascade of brown waters”.Then,Della looked all over the shop,finally buying a platinum fob chain,which can be matched with Jim's watch.But,Jim wanted to surprise Della as well.He sold his proud gold watch and bought her a set of bs that Della had watched long in a Broadway’s window.After reading this article,it really gives me a big shock.In this story,the main characters all lost their most valuable things ——Jim’s golden watch and Della’s beautiful hair.Behind this,I saw they loved each other deeply.The love in their family letting me feel that cold Christmas Eve has be e the warmest heaven just because of their gifts.It is so selfless that that they can sacrifice their most valuable things in order to give each other the best gift.I learned how to respect others’love and how to love others.With this kind of love,mutual understanding between man and woman could full of trust and affection.I firmly believe that the world will have a better tomorrow as long as our hearts full of love. The story The Last Leaf described a young couple of good friends Sue and Joanna,who “found their tastes in art,chicory salad and bishop sleeves so congenial that they joint studio resulted”.Unfortunately,an unseen stranger,whom the doctors called Pneumonia,spread in the in that city and Joanna got it seriously.One day afternoon,Joanna was desperately looking out of the window and was counting the leaves on the ivy tree.She firmly convinced that she would leave the world after the last leaf fell.She hadn't any passion for the future life.Sue has no other better way but to ask help from Mr.Behrman,an old poor artist who lived on the ground floor beneath
欧亨利写作风格介绍欧亨利式结尾是怎样的
欧亨利写作风格介绍欧亨利式结尾是怎样的欧亨利简介 世界范围内，有三名杰出的作家被评为短篇小说巨匠，他们分别是法国的莫泊桑、俄国的契诃夫以及美国的欧亨利。作为美国短篇小说的鼻祖，欧亨利简介中是如何介绍他的，从欧亨利简介中，可以看出他究竟是一个怎样的人，他的一生究竟经历了什么？翻阅欧亨利简介，世界对于欧亨利的评价又是怎样的？ ，本名叫做威廉·西德尼·波特，欧亨利是他的笔名。他出生于1862年9月11日，在度过了近四十八个春秋后，于1910年6月5日与世长辞。欧亨利的出生并不好，他的父亲是一名医生，但是由于父亲生活的无节制和酗酒的恶习，导致了家庭财政常常入不敷出，家境十分贫困，在母亲去世后，欧亨利便改由姑姑和祖母抚养，因为家庭的原因，欧亨利被迫于高中时中断学业，成为药店的学徒工只为养活自己。 欧亨利的一生并不平静，幼年时的困苦、成年后的挫折、爱人的离世、生活困顿给欧亨利带来了极大的痛苦，但却因为如此，欧亨利也从不平静的生活中获得了许多灵感，这些灵感使他的创作才思泉涌，创作出了许多脍炙人口的短篇小说，成为美国最为有名的短篇小说家。在欧亨利的创作之路上，他的第一任妻子阿索尔·埃斯蒂斯给与了他重大的鼓励。 欧亨利的作品，因其幽默的讲述方式，获得了世界的赞美，成为了美国独特的小说家，并成为世界三大小说巨匠之一。 欧亨利写作风格 世界上有许多的作家，有的功成名就，名垂千古，有的默默无名，直至终老。但不论是上述哪种情况的哪一种作家，在他们的创作道路上，在他们的文学作品中，都会形成专属于他们自己的写作风格。美国作家欧亨利一生写下了近三百篇的小说，是世界范围内的名副其实的高产作家，那么欧亨利是否形成了专属的写作风格，欧亨利的写作风格是怎样的？在欧亨利写作风格中都具备哪些独特的特点？ 欧亨利的作品创作，与他个人的亲身经历密不可分，在众多的作品之中，或多或少的都存在着欧亨利的影子。欧亨利的写作风格也是由此而逐渐形成的，其独特的写作风格主要体现在以下四个方面。 第一、写作的题材和对象的固定化。欧亨利的一生曾去过美国西部，而后重新回到美国大城市生活，所以在欧亨利的写作题材囊括了美国西部的生活、美国大城市的生活，其中以美国大城市的生活为主。而欧亨利本人也并非什么大人物，所以他的写作对象同样大多数也是混迹于社会底层的小人物。
高中语文文学类(小说)阅读训练--欧亨利作品专题
阅读理解练习一 （一）使圆成方 [美]欧亨利 自然界的事物是循圆周运动的，人为的事物则沿直线行进。孩子的圆眼睛象征天真，女人卖弄风情时眯缝成一条线的眼睛就说明矫揉造作。 在大城市里，本性丧失得最快。大城市的街道和建筑的直线，法律和社会风俗的拘泥古板，人行道的循规蹈矩，城市生活方式的严格、冷酷和沉默，毫不通融的规则——这一切都冷漠而鄙夷地对自然界的弧线表示轻蔑。 这个数学气十足的引子揭示了肯塔基州两个家族之间的世仇的前因后果。 这个世仇是在坎伯兰山岭的福维尔和哈克尼斯两个家族之间形成的。冤仇的第一个牺牲品是比尔哈克尼斯的猎狗哈克尼斯家立刻杀掉福维尔族的头儿作为赔偿。福维尔的亲属急于报复，又让比尔哈克尼斯跟随他的猎狗到了另一个国度。 四十年来，这两个家族冤冤相报，没完没了。哈克尼斯家的人一个个地被枪杀，福维尔家族的成员也给一枝一枝地砍掉。两个家系的树枝经过这样修剪之后，都只剩下一个成员。卡尔哈克尼斯也许领悟到了什么，便突然离开了坎伯兰山岭，避开了福维尔家族最末一个后裔山姆的报复。 一年后，山姆听说那个冤家住在纽约市，于是整装准备出发。他从梳妆台抽屉里找出一把老式而可靠的科尔特左轮手枪。在城市里干冒险和复仇的勾当，这把手枪似乎是最好的武器了。山姆把它放在毡提包里。骑上骡子，向火车站进发。 山姆到纽约时天色已晚。他的行动和生活仍旧遵循着自然界自由的圆周运动，看不到大城市隐藏在黑暗里的可怕、无情、好动、凶恶的手段，准备向他圆形的心脏和头颅包拢过来。一辆马车飞快地把他送到一家同他的靴子和毡提包相称的旅馆。 第二天早晨，福维尔家硕果仅存的后代向那个掩护哈克尼斯家最后一个子弟的城市发起了突袭。他把科尔特手枪藏在上衣里面。他只知道这两个情况：卡尔在这个城市里驾驶运货马车，而他自己，山姆，要来杀他。山姆踏上人行道时，眼珠变红了，心头升起一股世袭的仇恨。 但是一小时过去了，卡尔没有出现。中午时分，山姆站在城市里两条笔直的大动脉互相交叉的地方。人们形成直排熙来攘往；可怕的喧嚷和轰响把他吓懵了。 山姆靠在一座石头建筑的尖角上。在他身边经过的人何止千万，可是没有一个转过脸来向他看看。 一个胖子从人流中滑了出来，站着等汽车，离他只有几步远。山姆挨到他身边，在嘈杂声中嚷着对他说： “兰金斯家喂的猪比我们的肥多啦，不过他们那边的猪草也比我们这边的好——” 胖子神气活现的样子有所收敛，他走开去买炒栗子，以便掩饰自己的惊惶。 山姆感到需要喝一点山间露水。对街的人们在弹簧门里进进出出。隐约可以看到门里一个金光锃亮的酒吧和酒吧上面的装饰。这个复仇者穿过街道，打算进去。人为的事物又在这里挤掉了熟悉的圆形。山姆找不到门的把手，连大头针那样小的捏手的东西都找不到。 他手足无措，羞红着脸，伤心地从这扇没有用的门前走开；坐到石阶上。一根警棍戳戳他的肋骨。 “另找个地方去遛遛吧。”警察说，“你在这里闲荡得太久啦。” 在下一个拐角上，一声锐厉的口哨直刺山姆的耳朵。他赶快转过身去，只见一个满面怒容的恶狠狠的家伙，在热气腾腾的堆着花生豆的机器后面朝他直瞪眼睛。他穿过街去。一辆庞大的、不用骡子拖的车辆，发着牛吼似的声音和冒烟的煤油灯似的气味，刷地擦过他的膝盖。 一个马车夫用车毂撞了他一下，还训斥他；一个电车司机使劲踩铃叫他闪开；一个穿着走样的绸坎肩的胖太太用胳臂肘撞他的背脊；一个报童不慌不忙地朝他扔香蕉皮：“我不愿意这样干，可是看到我的人得让路!” 卡尔干完了一天的工作，存好运货马车，从一幢房屋旁边拐出来。他在三码开外的地方，在一群匆匆忙忙的行人中间发现了那个仍旧活着的、不共戴天的、世世代代的仇人。 他猛地站住，犹豫了片刻，因为他身边没有武器，情况又那样突然。山姆锐利的山地居民的眼睛也在人群中发现了他。 来往的人流中间突然跳动了一下，起了一个漩涡，山姆的声音响了起来： “好啊，卡尔!我见到你真高兴！” 在百老汇路、五马路和第二十三号街的交岔口，坎伯兰山岭的世仇握手言欢了。 （1）下列对这篇小说有关内容的分析和概括，最恰当的两项是（）（）（5分） A．当两个世仇家族冤冤相报，都只剩下最后一个成员的时候，卡尔决定离开家乡，避开福维尔家族的报复，因为他已领悟到这样的情况继续下去对双方都没有意义。 B．小说多次对“圆”与“直线”加以描述，如“笔直的大动脉”“人们形成直排熙来攘往““挤掉了熟悉的圆形”等，
