The Depressed Image of Winesburg,Ohio

Winesburg Ohio is a famous short story in American literary history, through the study of this short story collection,the main and primary aim is to discuss social background of that certain time. People’s social life in this story was in Midwest America, which represented the whole country at that period of time. For Winesburg as a microcosm: The so called grotesque figures of Winesburg were forced to meet and handle issues and events, which people universally undergo. Winesburg then became Any Town, USA and the flaws and struggles represented by these characters were same as be met by the ordinary people with the common human experience. Sherwood Anderson’s motivation to write them was to show the typical human community to us.With analysis of three famous figures below to illustrate how depressed they were, and to indicate Anderson’s great contribution to the American literature. Also what were readers’ reactions to this masterpiece.     

A Brief Analysis of Willy Loman’s Tragic Fate in Death of a Salesman

Arthur Miller was considered as the most famous dramatist in America after the World War II, and his representative work Death of a Salesman was recognized as the best play in America during the post-war years. It was also considered to be one of the best three plays in the history of American drama; with A Streetcar Named Desire and Long Day’s Journey into Night.Through the failure of two generations, this play addressed the painful conflicts within one family, and it also tackled greater issues regarding to Americans’ national values.As an average person, Willy Loman had experienced hopes and pains, struggles and frustrations as well as dreams and disillusions, at last he chose to commit suicide. Based on the existent materials, the predecessor’s researches as well as her own thinking, the author of this paper gives a brief analysis of the leading role’s tragic fate, which mainly elaborates three important stages of Willy Loman’s tragic life: disillusion of the American Dream, the abandonment and the betrayal, aiming to decode the root of Loman’s tragedy from the perspectives of society, family and the protagonist’s character. In conclusion, the paper tries to explore Arthur Miller’s inner world and the resources of his creation as far as possible, hoping to give readers of this paper certain inspiration.

Characteristics of bifurcation and buckling load of space truss in consideration of initial imperfection and load mode

This study investigated characteristics of bifurcation and critical buckling load by shape imperfection of space truss,which were sensitive to initial conditions.The critical point and buckling load were computed by the analysis of the eigenvalues and determinants of the tangential stiffness matrix.The two-free-nodes example and star dome were selected for the case study in order to examine the nodal buckling and global buckling by the sensitivity to the eigen buckling mode and the analyses of the influence,and characteristics of the parameters as defined by the load ratio of the center node and surrounding node,as well as rise-span ratio were performed.The sensitivity to the imperfection of the initial shape of the two-free-nodes example,which occurs due to snapping at the critical point,resulted in bifurcation before the limit point due to the buckling mode,and the buckling load was reduced by the increase in the amount of imperfection.The two sensitive buckling patterns of the numerical model are established by investigating the displaced position of the free nodes,and the asymmetric eigenmode greatly influenced the behavior of the imperfection shape whether it was at limit point or bifurcation.Furthermore,the sensitive mode of the two-free-nodes example was similar to the in-extensional basis mechanism of a simplified model.The star dome,which was used to examine the influence among several nodes,indicated that the influence of nodal buckling was greater than that of global buckling as the rise-span ratio was higher.Besides,global buckling is occurred with reaching bifurcation point as the value of load ratio was higher,and the buckling load level was about 50%-70% of load level at limit point.     

莱佛士爵士(英文)

在东南亚的历史中,莱佛士爵士(Sir ThomasStamford Raffles)是著名人物之一,他最大的成就是很有远见地开辟新加坡,奠定它作为自由港的地位。这篇文章是叙述文,摘录自Josephine Kamm所著的“They Served the People”一书。此文是描述莱佛士童年时的贫困以及他艰苦奋斗的过程,用字浅显,描写生动,使读者深刻体会到莱佛士的实际处境。Although the boy was kept hard at work at his office desk ail day, he was determined to make up for the schooling he had missed, and so he taught himself in the evening to read French until he could understand it as well as English, and to gain a scientific knowledge of zoology, geology and botany. Even though he learned a great deal in this way, he was always conscious of the gaps in his education, and many years later he was to write: "If I were not a married man, I should be half inclined to study for a 'Bachelor of Arts' degree, and to make up even at this time of life for the sad omissions of my youth, which I can never too deeply deplore.
