He is unsocial in character and unconventional in behavior. His reclusion can be regarded as the behavioral presentation of his alienation. Salinger also portrays many alienated characters in his The catcher in the rye and Nine stories. These alienated characters include children, adolescents and adults. They alienate themselves from dominant social culture, groups and even themselves. According to the analysis of these alienated protagonists from autobiographical and historical perspectives, the root of their alienation lies in the conflict between their searching for the ideal love and the absence of such love in the dominant society. So comparing with enjoying substantial life, Salinger＇s works can arouse people＇s interest and give more concern to their spiritual life.展开更多

By taking the novels for example, it is a reflection on three aspects： a kind of sad feeling under the poetic charm; the contrast of backward and new thought; the concealed comment and revealed value judgment. From these contrasts, people can know the Chinese female＇ s true state in the transition and the writer＇ s skill of fiction creation.展开更多

The uniqueness of the story＇s setting and the main character provide a metaphysical ontological dimension. The notion of the metaphysical existence is drawn into public within the atmosphere of the novel through certain elements; religion, time and space, and freedom. The present paper investigates on these factors and their roles and relations to convey and reach a metaphysical ontology. I argue, in this paper, that the metaphysical existence is established as a state between life and death. This state is created through a dialectical relationship between man and desert where there are unseen struggles between the two for immortality. However, the ultimate result of losing the battle is known for the man, yet deliberately ignored because oftke instinct for immortality展开更多

In translating the western literature works, Lin Shu himself also began to engage in the creation of novels. Among them, the short story turns to be more complicated in the ideological tendency. Lin Shu＇ s simple democratic consciousness has been fully displayed in it, and it mainly reflects in the three aspects of exposing and criticizing of dark reality, gallant spirit publicity and free marriage praise.展开更多

The short story ＂Rikki-tikki-tavi＂ is elaborated using the structure of Western fables, having allegory as one of its most exploited strategies. Vladmir Propp, in Morphology of the Folktale （1929） considers that every folktale story reproduces a structure. Propp＇s model demonstrates Rikki-tikki-tavi＇s Western ＂frame＂ when the authors see how clearly and efficiently the short story fits the model of Russian Folktale. This article will analyze ＂Rikki-tikki-tavi＂ as a paradigm of this literary genre, showing how characters metaphorically represent the British domination in India during the end of the 19th century.展开更多

He also lbund the points on the ecliptic, where this velocity is equal to the average velocity of the Sun over all the ecliptic. For this purpose he used the idea of infinitely small arcs and their ratios in different points of the circle. The great scientist Leonard Euler （1707-1783） introduced in his works on spherical trigonometry the line-element ds of the surface of the sphere, i.e. the differential of the arc length. He constructed the spherical trigonometry as an inner geometry on the surface of the sphere. He replaced the trigonometry lines, which were in use befbre him, by trigonometric functions.展开更多
