After reading 'Oliver Twist' as my first English novel, I became more aware of the social inequalities. The poor and difficult life that Oliver had to endure opened my eyes to the harsh reality that many faced in the past. It also made me appreciate my own life more and made me want to help those in need.
The first English novels, like 'The Canterbury Tales', influenced later literature by setting a precedent for storytelling. It showed that multiple voices and perspectives could be included in one work. This led to later works using different narrators or points of view.
It provided a model for character - centered stories. Later novels often followed its lead in focusing on one main character.
The English oratorio could have influenced the English novel in terms of theme. For example, religious themes often explored in oratorios might have seeped into the novels. Also, the way oratorios build up tension and release it through music and performance could have inspired novelists to create similar patterns in their plots.
My first original English book was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I had some challenges and difficulties before I started this book. First of all, I'm not familiar with English pronunciation and grammar rules, which makes it easy for me to misinterpret the meaning of words and sentences in the process of reading. Secondly, since this is my first time reading an English original, my reading speed and comprehension ability need to be improved. To overcome these challenges, I began to take some steps. I first searched for relevant reading materials and translation in the Chinese version of the book in order to better understand the story and the relationship between the characters in the novel. I also used some reading aids such as Anki and Quizlet to help me memorize important words and plots in the novel. At the same time, I often share the plot and characters in the novel with my friends so that they can better understand and discuss with me. Finally, I successfully finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and gained a lot of enlightenment from it. Through these methods, I gradually improved my English level and reading skills, and also better understood and experienced the charm of the English original.
Dickens' first novels had a great influence on English literature. They introduced new ways of character - building. His characters were complex and multi - dimensional, which inspired other writers to create more in - depth characters.
The Age of Enlightenment had a profound impact on the English novel. It brought about new ideas of rationality, individualism, and social reform. Novels began to explore human nature more deeply, often with a critical eye towards society. For example, Daniel Defoe's works like 'Robinson Crusoe' showed the individual's struggle and self - reliance, which were key Enlightenment values.
Henry Fielding influenced the English novel by bringing in a sense of realism. His works showed real - life situations and people, not just idealized versions. This was a big step forward for the novel as a genre.
It wasn't easy. I had to do a lot of research and find the right publisher. I also needed to polish my manuscript several times to make it as perfect as possible.
I actually found an agent who believed in my work and helped me navigate the publishing process. It wasn't easy, but with their expertise and my determination, we got my first novel out there.
I wrote my first novel when I was in college. At that time, I was still a novice who loved writing, but I found that writing novels required a lot of time and energy. So I decided to give up writing novels and spend my time and energy on other things, such as learning programming and exploring new art forms. However, I did not give up writing. I started posting some short stories on social media in hopes of attracting some readers. Although these works have not been officially published, they have given me a lot of inspiration and inspiration. In the end, I decided to write a novel. I spent a long time thinking about the plot and theme of the story. I've learned a lot about the techniques and rules of novel writing through reading a lot of online novels and novels. I also invited some friends to give me feedback and suggestions to improve my novel. In my first novel, I tried to create an interesting story that would make the readers feel nervous and excited. I draw in the readers by portraying the characters 'personalities and motives, and I try to keep the story coherent and logical. Generally speaking, writing a novel requires a lot of effort and patience, but as long as you persevere, you can create an excellent novel.
