31. It’s a poetic movement of England and the U.S. flourished from 1909 to
movement insists on the creation of images in poetry by “the direct treatment of the
thing” and the economy of wording. The leaders of this movement were Ezra Pound
and Amy Lowell.
32. Local Colorism or Regionalism as a trend first made its presence felt in the late
1860s and early seventies in America. It may be defined as the careful attegogoms in
speech, dress or behavior peculiar to a geographical locality. The ultimate aim of the
local colorists is to create the illusion of an indigenous little world with qualities that
tell it apart from the world outside. The social and intellectual climate of the country
provided a stimulating milieu for the growth of local color fiction in America. Local
colorists concerned themselves with presenting and interpreting the local character of
their regions. They tended to idealize and glorify, but they never forgot to keep an eye
on the truthful color of local life. They formed an important part of the realistic
movement. Although it lost its momentum toward the end of the 19th century, the
local spirit continued to inspire and fertilize the imagination of author. Mark Twain is
a master of local colorism.
33. This term has been used again and again to describe the people of the postwar
years. It describes the Americans who remained in Paris as a colony of “ expatriates”

or exiles. It describes the writers like Hemingway who lived in semi poverty. It
describes the Americans who returned to their native land with an intense awareness
of living in an unfamiliar changing world. The young English and American
expatriates, men and women, were caught in the war and cut off from the old values
and yet unable to come to terms with the new era when civilization had gone mad.
They wandered pointlessly and restlessly, enjoying things like fishing, swimming,
bullfight and beauties of nature, but they were aware all the while that the world is
crazy and meaningless and futile. Their whole life is undercut and defeated.

1. (本大点共10分)Hawthorne is a master of symbolism, which he took from the
Puritan tradition and bequeathed to American literature in a revivified form. (2分)
The symbol can be found everywhere in his writing, and his masterpiece provides the
most conclusive proof. By using Pearl as a thematic symbol, Hawthorne emphasizes
the consequence the sin of adultery has brought to the community and people living in
that community. With the scarlet Letter A as the biggest symbol of all, Hawthorne
proves himself to be one of the best symbolists. As a key to the whole novel, the letter
A takes on different layers of symbolic meanings as the plot develops, but people
come up with different interpretations and they do not know which one is definite. The
scarlet letter A is ambiguous. And the ambiguity is one of the salient characteristics of
Hawthorne’s art. (两个例子,每个4分)
2. (本大点共10分)The themes and characteristic of Hawthorne:
Hawthorne was a man with inquiring imagination, meditative mind and dark vision to
life. (1分)His themes in writing are:
1) Sin and Evil(2分)
Man was born with evil and sin, one source of them is over-reaching intellect, whose
image was always villain; (Chllingworth e.g.) He believed Calvinistic ideas, thinking
man was depraved and corrupted; they should obey God for saving the spirits;
2) History and Antiquity(3分)
Hawthorne was influenced greatly by Puritanism, while he criticized it bitterly;
Puritan New England is used as a background and setting in many tales. He concerned
the moral life of man and human history;
3) Alienation - a character is in a state of isolation because of self-cause, or societal
cause, or a combination of both. (2分)
4) Other themes include individual vs. society, self- fulfillment vs. frustration,
hypocrisy vs. integrity, love vs. hate, and fate vs. free will, etc. (2分)
