1. What is Literature?

?

Literature refers to the practice and profession of writing. It comes from human interest in telling a story, in arranging words in artistic forms, in describing in words some aspects of human experiences. Literature is characterized by beauty of expression and form and by university of intellectual and emotional appeal.

Literature shows us not only what a society is like in a certain age, but also what individuals feel about it, what they hope from it, and how they can change it or escape from it.

欧美文化赏析

That's Chicago, but that's not only Chicago

影片的背景设置在20世纪20年代的芝加哥，那是在经济大萧条前夕，美国上下都沉浸在一派歌舞升平、纸醉金迷的奢靡氛围中。芝加哥，是当时美国现状的一个缩影：光鲜亮丽，盲目浮躁。在这样的大环境下，芝加哥的人们都开始不务正业起来。律师不是为了正义而工作，而是为了更多的金钱；记者们的职责已经不再是忠实反映社会，正相反，他们如追逐蜂蜜的苍蝇般追逐着一切能使报纸卖得更好的消息；女人们再也不想完成本职工作后回家相夫教子，她们心里想的只是用什么方法能把自己的照片和名字摆在每张报纸的头版。于是，一部大戏拉开了帷幕。

与我以前所看的电影不同，《芝加哥》这部电影出现了很多的歌舞。每一段歌舞都独具特色，分别是开头火辣的爵士舞、攻击性极强的女囚探戈、讽刺媒体的牵线木偶、处死女囚的杂技表演、律师瞒天过海的踢踏舞等。每一段舞蹈都和情节紧密相连，在最适时的时候出现，并将现实世界的场景化作舞台上的歌舞表演。由此带来的喜剧效果正印证了“人生如戏”一说。我们看着台上的人翩翩起舞，也跟着一起群情高涨，但细细想来，这每一场华丽的歌舞都是在讲述世间最丑恶的罪行。权钱交易和权色交易，虚伪的谎言和无
