  Bet365 lotto review

As one of the important types and genres of literature,Realistic animal literature has the aesthetic characteristics of other literary types and genre common,Including the ups and downs of the story、The image is lifelike、Tension of plot conflict、Beautiful and smooth language, etc.,Canadian English realistic animal literature works are the same。The difference is,Objects described by Canadian English Realistic Animal Literature,It is the real animal that exists in nature,instead of animals or animals in metaphors; the story described by it,Most of the experience Bet365 lotto review of animals itself,instead of the writer's pure personal imagination; the content described,It is a scientific display based on animal habits,instead of the conversation between animals or the inner world of animals。As the founder and representative of Canadian English realistic animal literature,Seton via a metaphor、anthropomorphic and other tenderness and tenderness,Makes nature and animals full of spirituality and poetry。In "Dop's Adventure",Seton vividly describes the beautiful and unique appearance of the mouse Dippu with a metaphorical method,Showing its vigorous essence god to the fullest。"It (that is, Dip) covered with bright yellow cloaks on his body,Wear a pair of white gloves in front feet,The back feet seem to wear a pair of white slippers,And a white horse clip in the front chest,There is also a pair of wet big eyes like antelope,Long tail with stripes,There is also a bunch of white ears at the tip of the tail,Just like a white flag printed with a white flag。"",Southern Publishing House 2003 Edition) In "The Family of the Breaking Ear Rabbit",The communication of animals is clever and spiritual: rabbits transmit signals with each other by tapping the ground to emit the "The Signal Code",The process of learning and hunting by the broken -ear rabbit is "The Latest Study)、"It was really a post-graduate count。

I am unique,Roberts wrote in the book "Wandering King","The bare white mountain peaks are continuous,Wind to the east,Over a huge low -lying basin in turn,Some low hills,A dim black forest,There is also a blue -gray belt -shaped river that is curved to the distance。overwhelming、layers of milky white thick fog floating on the top of the tree。The edge of the thick fog suddenly blends with the first ray of air before the dawn,thus becoming beyond imagination and transparent。… At this time,The peak of the lonely white face mountain has ushered in dawn,The uneven crown mountains suddenly radiate the flame -like red light。Then,The whole mountain top is bathing in a surging pale rose red and the golden sunlight.。... A slender and powerful yellow -brown figure quietly came out of the cave,Sunshine dazzling "(" Wandering King ",Central Radio and Television University Press 2015 edition)。This description shows it in the beautiful forest,American Lion Freedom、Scene of Unrestrained Life。In the description of scenery and space narrative,Roberts not only shows its own language skills and aesthetic thoughts for landscapes through a smooth and beautiful description,And showing bet365 live casino games his ideological appeal,Including the freedom that allows animals to enjoy its nature、Harmony and nature sharing with nature and humanity should have the spirit of humanitarianism。

  Vivid and accurate description helps to carry out popular science

Generally speaking,About the knowledge science of the animal itself and the ecological introduction about animals and nature,It is the basic character and core characteristics of real animal novels; scientific narrative about animal but non -human nature,It is an important characteristic and characteristic characteristic of real animal literature。For realistic animal literature,Drama of the story conflict、The three -dimensional nature of animal image、The richness of the story imagination、The beautiful nature of the narrative writing,It is a single style、Facing popular science articles cannot be replaced。So,Reading and Knowledge Research on the story reading and knowledge of Animal Literature through Canada English,You can better understand、Grasp and analyze the characteristics of animals、Type characteristics and group relationships,Reflection of animals and animals、Animals and humans、Animals and Nature、The inherent relationship between humans and nature。In "Wild Wolf Billy",Based on field observation and scientific research,The sound of the hunting of the big gray wolf hunt in North America described it in detail: "When the wolf is hunting,The sounds made can be divided into three types。First, the stretch of the stretch,That's a convening partner,It means that it has found a strong prey,Need the help of a companion; the second is the loud and plump call,The wolf group is chasing the prey fiercely; the third is the sharp barking accompanied by a short roar,That's telling you: prey has been doomed。Three sounds connected,is the whole process of wolf predation。”

In "The Call of the Arctic",Roberts painted the fight between the male and polar bears in painting,Integrate a large amount of animal science popularization knowledge into it,Make it while becoming a well -narrative scientific introduction,It also has the value of aesthetic taste: "A brown gray behemoth full of shocking spots -a huge male elephant is surfaced。The male elephant has a scary face and a pair of long and pointed fangs,It seems to laugh,Positive shooting is a huge fin,Chasing Mother Chao Xiong。... It uses a strong forefoot and sharp claws,Step a fierce attack on the opponent。But the huge male elephant skin rough meat thick,Although the blood stains are spent after the palm of the palm,but not being Bet365 app download hit hard。At this time,Boxer Elephant also red eyes,Extremely angry,Staring small eyes,Pats the fins and sends an attack。"(" Prison Catcher ",Central Radio and Television University Press 2015 Edition) This kind of popular science introduction makes the novel very authentic、Documentary and live sense。

  Promote the importance and protection of animals

Realistic animal literature also has cultural signs value。As far as the history of Canadian literature is concerned,Canadian English realistic animal literature makes real animals really become the core protagonist in the literary world for the first time,From the supporting role in human life to the protagonist and master in nature,Make realistic animal literature enter the Kingdom of Literature in a physical way instead of a metaphor.,The great expansion of the scope of literary writing and experimental innovation in literary categories。"Myth Zoo: Myth、Animals in Legend and Literature "believes,As a more typical literary signs,Ecology、History and cultural traditions not only firmly connect animals with their own natural environment,Also connect them with people's millennium practice and cultural value。This reveals the two sides of material and spirit in the ecological environment。From the view of Saxh,Even if human genetic characteristics continue,If there are no other creatures,"Humanity" will no longer exist。Canadian English Realism Animal Literature not only makes humans feel sympathetic or admired by sympathy,Understand the choice of living habits and destiny of animals; let humans re -reflect on animals and humans、Animals and Nature、Multiple relationship between humans and nature,The jungle law of weak meat and strong food and the concept of human centralism,Then reshape humanitarian feelings and blog love、Self -esteem、Self -strengthening consciousness。

Seton wrote in the "Original Words I Know": "We belong to the same family with animals。The things that humans have, animals will not be at all,The things that animals have to some extent are also shared by humans。Since animals are all creatures with seven emotions and six desires,Just compared with us, there is only a difference,So,They should of course have their own power。This fact,White World has just begun to recognize,They should of course have their own power。"" From this,As a more typical literary signs,Canadian English realistic animal literature gives full play to the intervention function and speech function of literature as public discourse,Organization with animal protection、Government Legislative Organ、News propaganda agencies, etc., pushed the birth of modern regulations such as animal protection law bet365 Play online games and animal bills in Canada,Then it promoted the reshaping of the self -consciousness of the Canadian national and the rules of the overall quality of the nation。

  The philosophical value in the history of thought

From the perspective of the history of literature and thought,Canadian English realistic animal literature with documentary、Diverse ways compatible with scientific examinations,Combined with social politics、Colonial history、Cultural background of economic and trade,The image shows humans and animals、Human and Nature、Diverse relationships between humans and ecology。Popularized introduction and artistic description,Let people realize the commonality and differences between animals and humans,Divide or distinguish between humans and animals equally,Then construct human self -identity and self -image。As Sax said: "The end of the person does not exist,Animals also have its "human nature" side。We find the side of self -identity and self -denial。Through them,Human beings can build a collective、Religious and personal identity。... in human cultural heritage,Animal images that are all kinds of symbols and stories prove this division process。We through witchcraft、metaphor、Imagination with animals,Human growing teeth,Have wings,Become a god、Saint、Liar、Devil、Clown、companion、Lovers,etc.。"" At the same time,Human centralism concept is in real animal literature,It is relatively indifferent and weak,reflected more vaguely,And human self -reflection and general consciousness in real animal literature,The performance is stronger and strong,Reflect that it is relatively profound。From this,Equality consciousness between humans and animals、Complex thoughts、Generalist concept,Frequent advocacy and preliminary construction。Although realistic animal literature is based on scientific observation and field survey,Give full play to fictional stories or non -documentary stories written by literary inspiration and imagination,But the consciousness of human subject (such as the subjectivity of the perspective、The subjectivity of describing narrative、The subjectivity of self -reflection、The subjectivity of literary discourse) still possess the dominant position。So,In Canadian English Realistic Animal Literature,The concept of human supremacy and human centralism is generally strongly suspected and deep deconstruction,Human non -/decentralism、The consciousness of human subjects get preliminary experiments and some advocates。Shin from human centralism to the concept of human subject,This may be animal bet365 Play online games literature、Animal criticism、One of the important development directions in the subject areas such as ecological criticism。

From the perspective of interdisciplinary,,Animal Writing in Animal Literature in Canadian English Realism,It is both the core object of literary aesthetics and knowledge science,It is also a narrative carrier of literary signs and the history of animal thought。Activity、Pioneering、Literature、History、Political Science and many other disciplines and fields blended with the blending,Canadian English realistic animal literature is not just concerned about what is animal、How about animals、What is the reason for animals,The establishment of the root of human beings、Evolution of human concept、The generation of human and animals、The formation of human animal thought。This may be as the famous philosopher and thinker Nietzsche said in "Chaothen": "Justice、Wisdom、Immigration、Brave,In short,All we call Socratesami,The root causes are animal -like,All the products that prompt us to find food and avoid the same instinct of the enemy9。As long as we remember,The more types of foods of all things, the more foods.,The more advanced and more subtle he of what harmful to him,So,Perhaps the entire moral phenomenon may be an animal may not be wrong。"(" Nietzsche Injects: Chaotia ",East China Normal University Press, 2007)

In short,,In the historical process of tens of thousands of years,A complex and closely related association formed between animals and humans。British historian、Anthropologist Brian Fagan wrote in "Intimate Relationship: How Animals Shape Human History": "We humans have been close to various animals for more than 2.5 million years,These animals are small and small,There are mammals and vertebrates,Carnivorous animals,There are also antelopes that are not in the world。Our earlier ancestors were predators under the rule of weak meat and strong food -both hunter and prey。In tens of thousands of years,The knowledge they accumulated is amazing -understanding the habits of various animals。"Based on the experience of daily life and the progress of science and technology,Human beings continue to domestication、Saturn to make various animals,Observation、Research and control different animals and their genes,This has changed and shaped the existing relationship between humans and animals,It has also promoted and shaped the current and future of Feigen's so -called human history: "Get food from animals and use animals as a prominent problem in the 19th century,and last until the 20th century。But,Just in recent Bet365 lotto review years,The strong attention to animal rights and interests extend to the breeding ground and laboratory。Today,Animals have the characteristics of personality characteristics.,This will cause people to let go of the power of oppression and exploiting domestic animals,Treat those heroes who shape history。"" As people pay more and more attention to the protection of environment and biodiversity,Animal Literature Research with its natural interdisciplinary、Humanistic ideology and diversified comprehensiveness,Or it will become a new growth point with sustainable international academic research。
