2、“iceberg theory” suggests that the writer include in the text only a small portion of what he knows, leaving about ninety percent of the content a mystery that grows beneath the surface of the writing. this type of writing lends itself naturally to a version of dream-interpretation. if a writer of p

3、rose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. the dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. a good writer does not need to reveal every detail o

10、ind it? are they dispensable? we can use the model of “iceberg principle”. his wealth and fame is the small part we can see, and his sufferings and struggle is the part under water, without it, the person wouldnt have acquired the fame and wealth he owns today.this principle also could be used in te

11、aching. the amount of material that teachers could present to their students is a small portion of the sum total of knowledge and skills that they possess. like an iceberg, the level of expertise that is visible to the public is dependent upon a larger body of knowledge that is submerged out of sigh

12、t. so, it is particularly important for instructors to continually increase their knowledge and skill level because only a portion of the total body of knowledge will appear to be available; the same goes to learning. what the teacher could teach us is very limited, so if we want enrich our knowledg

13、e; we have to learn to use what we have learned to explore the unknown things.5.what do you know about hemingways iceberg theory of writing? hemingway and his tip of the principle of 20 to 30 years in the prevalence of this century on behalf of the lost generation on behalf of recognized literary ge

14、nre known as the united states is the writer of the twentieth century the first half of the most talented novelist ernest genius. hemingway. if one sentence summed up his people, and that is: a love of sports and sports a tough guy; a sophisticated reporter world; all the scars of a fighter; a spani

15、sh bullfight fan; not only a good drink also pay attention to the spirits of life gourmet. hemingways thinking is very deep and unique perspective, the poet allen? tate as saying that he had an extremely delicate heart and a strong selective observation capacity. he aoqi te in the art of deep thinki

16、ng, the tip of the principle of can be described as the most representative and most well-known. in 1932, ernest hemingway in his works of documentary death in the afternoon, the first time literature than done floating in the ocean on the tip, he said: the tip of the movements magnificent, because

17、he was only eighth in the on the surface of the water. since then, many have made such an analogy. this image of hemingway analogy, literary criticism aroused interest in the sector. as a result, the so-called tip of the principle of literary criticism has become involved in the study of hemingway c

18、reated one of the important issues. it can be said that the tip of the principle of hemingway was on his many years of experience summed up the image, he is dealing with the relationship between art and life followed by the basic norms. in that case, what is the tip of the principle of? in this rega

19、rd, western critics carried out a great deal to explore. let us take a look at how they are understandable. american academy of arts critics pointed out that the horse cosme: you extracted from the life of those who arouse feelings of their own distinctive details, if you are not on the terrorist at

20、rocities and out of touch with reality, and in accordance with the proper order to accurately describe the details, then you write will still arouse the readers emotional things to come. this is the ernest hemingway in his early close-up followed in the method of its own to limit the scope is very s

21、uccessful. even in its scope, he is also successful, as he described the picture show with a wide range of implied power. betts speaking on british critics of the hemingway short story, said: the master of the art implies, that a word or two for more than two different the art of the matter, then th

22、e short story house to do the work completed more than half. elder critic of the united states of hemingways tip of the principle of negative, he thought it was evasive tactics, away to create a mood of emotional atmosphere. the community started to criticize the various ways that can help us unders

23、tand the tip of the principle. however, if further from the aesthetics and poetics of the tip of the principle of in-depth understanding, it is clear that each of appeal on is not enough. the tip of the principle of hemingway in his death in the afternoon, there is an explanation, he wrote: if he wa

24、nted to write an essayist for the very few things in mind, he knows he may omit things, so readers as long as the writers write the true will of the strong feeling that he had omitted, the author seems to write out like. obviously, to emphasize here that the writer is omitted, shui mianxia advocate

25、of the seven eighths should be left to the reader to feel. according to the interpretation of hemingway, the tip of the principle of a rough generalization: the so-called tip of the principle, is to use simple language to shape a distinctive image of their own feelings and ideas, emotions and buried

26、 it in the image of the maximum, so that it is full of emotion hidden, and deep thinking of the night and not hidden, so that literature can be emotional and can be thought of a clever combination of clear-cut image for readers to discover the feelings of the ideological significance of the work. co

27、ncise text, the image of the distinctive, rich and deep emotional thinking is a tip of the principle of the four basic elements. specifically, text and image is the so-called eighth and feelings and ideas is the so-called seven eighths. the first two concrete is visible, the latter two are among res

28、ides in the first two. to shape the image of the text, contains the image of emotion, and emotion among the implication of thinking. it is true that literature in general, these four elements are essential, but in hemingways work is particularly prominent because he emphasized the feelings and ideas

29、 of implicit. hemingways study of the tip of the principle of first of all to find out the underwater seven eighths because this is part of the iceberg. if elders view of the substantive content of hemingways works was the author of apparent pursuit of surface effect to avoid the drop, then a sharp

30、rise, the problem can not be avoided, that is what hemingway is a certain depth of thinking big writers, or shallow, limited to the word of mo liu literary skills? it is clear that the substantive content of hemingways works were not avoiding the drop, but elder did not see it. 海明威與他的“冰山原則” 1932年，海明威在他的紀(jì)實性作品午后之死中，第一次把文學(xué)創(chuàng)作比做漂浮在大洋上的冰山，他說：“冰山運動之雄偉壯觀，是因為他只有八分之一在水面上?！逼浜螅卸啻巫鬟^這樣的比喻。海明威這種形象的比喻，引起了文學(xué)批評界的興趣。于是，所謂“冰山原則”就成了文學(xué)批評界研究海明威創(chuàng)作的重要課題之一。可以說”冰山原則”是海明威對自己多年創(chuàng)作經(jīng)驗的形象總結(jié)，是他處理藝術(shù)和生活關(guān)系所遵循的基本準(zhǔn)則。 那么，究竟什么是”冰山原則”呢？關(guān)于這點，西方批評家做過不少探討。我們不妨先來看一下他們是如何理解的。美國藝術(shù)批評家馬兒
