John Harold Drake is a man of deep compassion, and has written a book that argues for the cause of children in need of love. "Children, Little Children" is an honest book, showing great concern and dissatisfaction with the care for children.
The difficult trick of living inside another person’ s mind and being able to put your reader inside that same mind, is a capability held only by writers of exceptional skill and talent. Mr. Drake has approached the problem by making a 10- year-old boy his central character. The boy does not for a moment come across as a real child, irresponsible parents abandoned him, his grandfather disliked him, he took everything literally, and begged everyone for love. Bret is being used to make a point. His ideas are too poetic, his response too direct, and the contrasts of good and evil too simplistic for real life. He is being manipulated by someone behind the scenery trying to tell us something.
For fifteen years the authors has been dealing with people with psychological trouble at the V.I.T. Neuropsychiatric Institute. He has actively been involved in this field at other institutions for a quarter of a century. This book is a form of acting out, through the character, Bret, the pain of a rejected child. If one understands the book in those terms, one may be willing to believe the imaginary story. If viewed in this light, the exaggerated movements and reactions of the characters became less unbelievable and therefore more meaningful. The excessively poetic passages of description and emotion, seen as stage flats made more colorful than nature in order to look re~ from afar, are acceptable in a drama whereas they are irritating in a novel~ The one-sided characterizations insane father, immature mother, mean old grandmother, selfish aunt, cruel neighbors, and totally misunderstood Bret are figures moving across a lit stage to dramatize a message. The true to life ending, without resolution or growth or development, might work on a stage, however, it is contrary to everything a novel should do.
Calling the book a novel is the publisher’ s m/stake; the work is more nearly a drama. Perhaps it is one of Mr. Drake’ s psychodramas in print and should so be judged. [br] The author of the passage feels that ______ .
选项
A、Mr. Drake’ s character, Bret, is too unrealistic
B、the central character should not be manipulated
C、the message conveyed by the characterization is important
D、Mr. Drake is not good at writing novels
答案
C
解析
这句话的意思为:“通过人物刻画所传达的信息非常重要”。第一段第二句指出,在《孩子们,小孩子们》一书中,作者对孩子所遭受的待遇表示忧虑和不满。第三段第七句指出,所塑造的单一性格的人物(one-sided characterization)——疯狂的父亲、不成熟的母亲、吝啬的祖父、自私的姑姑、残忍的邻居、完全被误解的布莱特——走过照得通明的舞台,展示一个道理(moving across a lit stage to dramatize a message)。
