A Character Analysis of Charlie in Fitzgerald’s Babylon Revisited

Babylon Revisited is one of Fitzgerald’s greatest stories. In this story, the protagonist Charlie comes to Paris to get custody of her daughter Honoria from his wife’s sister Marion, to whom the child is entrusted after Charlie fell apart several years ago. However, he is prevented by his late wife’s sister Marion for her selfishness and jealousy. Perhaps, Fitzgerald wants us to question whether Charlie is really prepared for parenting. The story hints that he isn’t, because it provides many hints that he has not separated himself enough from his past bad habits.

The previous studies show that the major problems faced by the students in writing can be classified into two categories, that is, they don’t know"what to write"and"how to write". The researchers found that the specific problems existing in their writings are identified as poor content, incomplete generic structure and misuse of cohesive devices. Therefore, on the basis of the previous studies, this study attempts to use Martin’s genre theory to resolve the existed problems of the Professional College English major’s students in writing and enhance students’ discourse writing ability. Meanwhile, this study tries to answer the following questions:(1) Compared with the traditional writing teaching methods, whether the genre-based writing method has a significant effect to improve students’ writing skills;(2) Whether the genre-based writing method is possible to increase students’ interest in writing. The experimental result and the questionnaire show that genre-based approach in ESL writing teaching really can improve students’ writing achievement and enhance students’ interest in English writing.
