1 Theory and Methodology

When it comes to the writer determinism theory, it is quite necessary for us to mention George Louis Leclerc de Buffon, who is a French naturalist and theoretical biologist.He has proposed his views on how to perceive styles, which are the reflection of narrators or writers’thoughts.He has put his emphasis on the authors themselves.He holds the idea that stylistic styles are determined by the authors.What is more specifically is that it is the author’s subjective world that determines the stylistic style.He has confirmed the existence of personal parole, which means each individual owns his unique feature of language use.By analyzing the author’s stylistic feature in his works, we can obtain his distinct ways of writing and then make further evaluation of his literary achievement.

2 Absolute Order

Buffon considers styles as the orders and arrangement of transference of narrators’thoughts.The real eloquence is not just a kind of skill or a language gift or playing with words.It comes from the reasonable arrangement of one’s own thoughts.Knowing how to use words only is far from the possession of styles, but merely a shadow of them.The writer should first of all keep a more general and absolute order in his mind before writing.As for the absolute order of the thought, it must take some components as prerequisite, which are all semantic components.In The Notebook, Nicolas Sparks has a clear understanding of his writing order, which has reflected his experienced writing skill.

2.1 The manipulation of semantic roles and points of view

Semantic roles are of great importance in a literary work.Both the narrator and characters in the work are the reflection of the author’s thoughts.The author usually makes a choice of a certain role structure to illustrate a certain world view.The analysis of these role structures could contribute us to learn about the narrator and how the characters in the work see the world from their perspectives.

From The Notebook, we can find out the author’s subtle arrangement.The narrative structure of the novel is not stereotypical and unchanged.The fact is, it is changing in a natural way based on the flow of thoughts.The first chapter of this novel“Miracles”is narrated by the male protagonist when he is quite old and in the first person point of view.The first person narrator is usually the main character of the work.The author’s choice of the first person point of view could narrow the gap between the readers and establish a closer friendship with them.“Who am I?And how, I wonder, will this story end?The sun has come up and I am sitting by a window that is foggy with the breath of a life, gone by.” (The Notebook, P.1) In a special nursing home by the lake, as“I”grow into my twilight years, I keep telling“our”stories to my companion and“I”eagerly hope that a miracle would happen.The author has left the readers suspense at the beginning of the novel in order to arouse the interest of them and allures them to read on and to find what will happen in the end.Who is this male protagonist anyway?Why does he insist of reading the notebook year after year?When we read on, we find a sudden change of narration in chapter two“Coast”with a third person point of view.

This employment of point of view has a wider scope and is suitable for describing objective details step by step.That is the way the author adopts to present the whole story vividly and to make comments to it.At the same time, the time has come to the past, right before her wedding.“It was early October 1946, and Noah Calhoun watched the fading sun sink lower from the wraparound porch of his plantation-style home.” (The Notebook, P.7) In this chapter, the author first narrates the male protagonist’s condition from his perspective and we can have an insight into his behavior and thinking.Then the author has shifted the narrative point of view to the female protagonist’s.Her mixed feelings are presented vividly on paper.We may read these lines excerpted from The Notebook, P.15.“Earlier that evening and a hundred miles away, she sat alone on the porch swing of her parents’home, one leg crossed beneath her.The seat had been slightly damp when she sat down;rain had fallen earlier, hard and stinging, but the clouds were fading now and she looked past them, toward the stars, wondering if she’d made the right decision.”The world is different in the eyes of different people.The author is intended to make a change, which not only has strengthened the artistic expressive force, but also has shown his profound writing skills.

We may notice that not until we turn to page 22 of this novel can we first find the female protagonist’s name, “Allie.His Allie.”, which is purposefully arranged by the author.Before that, the author always uses“she”instead of her real name.It has created a sense of mysteriousness of her.We also know that“she”must be the very important person to him who has taken his breath away.Beside the subtle workings of semantic roles, the author has used juxtaposition skillfully to portray the images of the two main characters vividly.In the end of the novel, the author has adopted the old protagonist’s tone to narrate again and returned to the first person point of view.From“my”narration, we are completely touched by this ordinary people’s extraordinary and moving love story.We are so indulged in it due to the author’s natural and nearly perfect arrangement of his thoughts which reflects his talented narrative techniques.

After reading the whole story, we may find out that excerpt for the first half and the last part of the book, the main body is narrated from the third person point of view.The narrative structure remains almost unchanged and the story is told in the most straightforward manner in plain language.As for some scenes, the author goes into too many details.For instance, he has written as long as 40 pages telling the readers of what has happened within just several hours Allie spent in Noah’s house right before her wedding.The narrative structure is too plain and lack of originality.It sounds like a long boring story.This is what one of the shortcomings of this novel lies.

2.2 The manipulation of ideational function of language

Having read up the sentences of the text carefully, we may find out that the writer has succeeded in applying ideational function of language to portray the characters in his novel.When Allie ended her visit and decided to go back home, Noah was very sad and his heart was broken.As for this, the author has deliberately employed a series of free indirect thoughts and the perfect tense to show Noah’s sadness.It seems that Noah had done nothing, but actually he was filled with deep sorrow.“And sometime after midnight on that clear October evening, it all rushed inward and Noah was overcome with longing.And if anyone had seen him, they would have seen what looked like an old man, someone who’d aged a lifetime in just a couple of hours.Someone bent over in his rocker with his face in his hands and tears in his eyes.He didn’t know how to stop them.” (The Notebook, P.71) He felt as if there were a knife piercing his heart.Undoubtedly, he is not only experiencer but also patient of the whole thing.The author does this to keep us from losing sympathy with him.

3 Sublime

Buffon’s so-called permanent personal style which takes description as a whole is the sublime style.Only the“sublime”style could express the noblest and the most significant titles.In his view, if a writer intends to write a good work, he must choose a sublime title, not a vulgar one.And for Nicholas Sparks, he is skilled in writing love stories.No matter how time changes, love is always an eternal topic.Is love sublime?Definitely it is.But some people may think that love stories will always fall into stereotypes that the two protagonists finally get married and live happily ever after.The earthly vulgarness does harm to the nobleness of love.But on this point, Nicholas Sparks has won again.The plot of The Notebook becomes more revealing and moving as we read on.It is like a miracle out of ordinariness.

3.1 The subtle workings of authorial tone

A great classic should be soul-revealing and capable of touching the emotions of its readers.In this regard, Nicholas Sparks is a total experienced master hand.The reputation of the king of American pure love novels is the best proof of that.When we read his words, we will be immersed in a simple, bright, light yet dense emotion immediately.He is like a knight wandering about the world of vast and numerous words.He gives live expressions of unspeakable feelings between countryside and mind, romance and life and death through an easy and relaxed way.The readers will be fascinated by his words that give out a fresh smell of the rural earth, and the everlasting love between Noah and Allie in complete harmony, and be entangled with Allie’s choice in dilemma, and be greatly moved by Noah’s deed of year after year’s telling his Allie their love diaries until she occasionally recovers her lost memory.

The author has attached a storm of affection when creating this novel.We may feel the strong emotional power of it after analyzing its authorial tone.It can not be denied that all the characters and events in it are coined by the author.But he has succeeded in keeping the authorial tone accord with the content.We may not help doubting the truth of the story sometimes;however, it could be proven true.Through the process of reading, we are unconsciously affected by the subtle authorial tone.We gradually draw closer to the author’s world view and value.Why are we touched?It is because we accept his attitude and stand for his view point.In the end of the novel, when Noah stumblingly climbs Allie’s sickbed, the author writes:“I feel the warmth of her body, and as our tongues meet, I allow myself to slip away, as I had so many years ago.I close my eyes and become a mighty ship in churning waters, strong and fearless, and she is my sails.I gently trace the outline of her cheek, and then take her hand in mine.I kiss her lips, her cheeks, and listen as she takes a breath.She murmurs softly, “Oh, Noah...I’ve missed you.”Another miracle—the greatest of all!And there’s no way I can stop the tears as we begin to slip toward heaven itself.For at that moment, the world is full of wonder as I feel her fingers reach for the buttons on my shirt and slowly, even so slowly, she begins to undo them one by one.” (The Notebook, P.199) When reading these lines, we are all deeply moved by the author’s subtle workings of authorial tone.How delicate and touching his words are!Whether they are exaggerated or not, we tend to believe the story to be true, and that is the great power of true love.We are so engaged in reading this novel that we are reluctant to put down the book even we have finished reading it.It is not a simple love story anymore, but it turns to be an extraordinary unforgettable experience.This is the effect that the author is trying to achieve, and he did it.

However, we should also notice that the love described in the novel is confined between two people who have spent their whole lives in fulfilling love obligations.It is a pity that the author does not extend the love to a height of the love of a nation or even the love of universal people.From this perspective, the vision of the author is not broadened enough, and which can be attributed as one limitation that hinders his work from becoming a world classic.

3.2 The author’s preference in diction

The great and classic works can only be found under noble titles, such as“law of nature, general creatures, space, substance movement and time, soul, thinking, sentiment and lust”.One must have a thorough understanding of the theme and clear view of the interrelation of his own thoughts if he wishes to speak well and write well.

A good writing involves the process of contemplation, experience and most of all, his preference in diction.

In The Notebook, several of subjects that Buffon has mentioned can be seen.Its style is fresh and clean.It seems that we are walking in a charming painting as we read this novel.The long-waited breath from the countryside, the everlasting sun, the moon and the stars, the idyllic sceneries, beautiful lakes and mountains, going boating to watch the sunrise in the early morning, playing with water in a river in a rainy day, listening to the insects flicking in the evening, and all those lively and vivid sceneries among lines have given out a smell of freshness and are closely connected with the author’s sensibility to his hometown When it comes to lust, many people are inclined to avoid it.But in the eyes of the author, it is a normal phenomenon.Lust is indispensable even in the noblest love.The author extols the passionate love without any hesitation in his novel.“They gave in then to everything they had fought the last fourteen years.Allie lifted her head off his shoulder, looked at him with hazy eyes and Noah kissed her softly on the lips.She brought her hand to his face and touched his cheek, brushing it softly with her fingers.He leaned in slowly and kissed her again, still soft and tender, and she kissed back, feeling the years of separating dissolve into passion.” (The Notebook, P.114) The seemingly vulgar lus becomes quite natural and is full of passion under the author’s pen, and this is also one of the reasons why his novels are bestsellers.

Reading Nicholas’words, we may find them contracted bu meaningful in style.Different writers have diverse preference in diction.As for him, he favors concrete nouns and adjectives.A few words, just like a sketch, and the character is portrayed vividly on paper.The few use of abstract words makes his work easy to follow and more readable.“With his shirt tucked loosely into old faded jeans, she could see the same broad shoulders she remembered, tapering down to narrow hips and a flat stomach.He was tan, too, as if he’d worked outside all summer, and though his hair was a little thinner and lighter than she remembered, he looked the same as he had when she’d known him last.” (The Notebook, P.33) The author does this to keep us from perceiving characters to be untouchable.

From the syntactical perspective, Nicholas has a preference in using loose sentences.We can read on his words smoothly without any difficulty.This also contributes to one of the reasons why his works are popular around the world.“She found her pocketbook and car keys, and then picked up the room key.She turned it over in her hand a couple of times, thinking, you’ve come this far, don’t give up now, and almost left then, but instead sat on the bed again.She checked her watch.Almost six o’clock.She knew she had to leave in a few minutes--she didn’t want to arrive after dark, but she needed a little more time.” (The Notebook, P.19)

We must aware that Nicholas’literature is a kind of popular literature.Since his words are faithful in meaning, vivid in description and plain in style, it is suitable for the public and tends to be very popular.If compared to those masterpieces for appreciation from the view of literature and art, his works are of less perfection and a little“immature”.

4 Contrast

It is a way to highlight the expression of one aspect of a subject and take the rest as less important and thus give less prominence to it.As for this aspect, the author has made great efforts.In his mind, he knows that if he wants to emphasize the greatness of Allie and Noah’s love, he must create certain things which are evocative in order to resonate people’s emotions.As Allie and Noah are both ordinary people, too many descriptions of their daily trifles do more harm than good to the revelation of the theme.When Allie’s wedding is approaching, she goes to Noah’s house alone.Her action has forever changed all people’s fates.This is the turning point of their lives.Thus, the author has written more words to describe the situation in great details.Beside, there is also an exclusive form of expression which is originated by the author.In the novel, the author has frequently used the letter style to convey messages, and sometimes it has even replaced common narration.It seems to be more sincere in emotion and has added solemnness to the protagonists’love.The author has successfully proven the greatness of their love by highlighting the twists and turns of it.Other information of their lives which is less significant thus can only be found in the letters or it is just omitted.We may read something about their marriage life from the excerpt of the letters.For example, in one paragraph of their letters for their first wedding anniversary, it reads:“When I see you now--moving slowly with new life growing inside you--I hope you know how much you mean to me, and how special this year has been.No man is more blessed then me, and I love you with all my heart.” (The Notebook, P.158) Another paragraph in another letter goes that“In times of grief and sorrow, I will hold you and rock you, and take your grief and make it my own.When you cry I cry, and when you hurt, I hurt.And together we will try to hold back the floods of tears and despair and make it through the potholed streets of life.” (The Notebook, P.159) Even though these are not the main aspect of the story, we may strongly feel the details of their existence and their prominent personalities.It is not a easy job to do that.

But it is unwise to over-emphasize one aspect of the subject and ignore other aspects, which will result a disjoint of narration and lack of coherence.What’s more, too much description of the twists and turns of the feelings between Allie and Noah may make the readers feel heavy-hearted and lose positive attitude.It is important for the author to know how to balance each aspect in a reasonable way.

5 Conclusion

There are many ways of interpreting a certain work of a certain writer.It is undoubtedly feasible to analyze the bestselling novelist Nicholas Sparks’representative The Notebook under the framework of writer determinism theory according to the English of fiction.By analyzing both the author and the text, we may have an insight into the author’s writing style, and are capable of explaining the reasons why his works are bestsellers around the world.At the same time, we may reveal some shortcomings which hinder his works from becoming world classics.Though it is not a classic, it stays“classic”to some extent.Its brilliance will leave in the innermost heart of each one who reads it.We may quote a sentence from the novel:“I once have loved one person, with my heart and soul.For me, that’s enough.”And I would like to pu it this way:I once have read a book, with my heart and soul.As

中国女人必读的四大名著篇3

《围城》

《围城》的妙处之一便是描绘了中国男人的劣根性，帮你打破对男性世界种种不切实际的幻想。而集劣根性之大成者，首推方鸿渐。

方鸿渐本性善良，可他的最大缺点便是优柔寡断、毫无原则。而在现代社会，男人优柔寡断、毫无原则便是致命伤。众位女读者请仔细对照自己的男友是否是“张鸿渐”或“李鸿渐”，若不是，当庆幸，若是，感情深的慢慢地帮他改，要有长期抗战的准备，感情浅的则甩他没商量。

其他诸如赵辛楣、李海亭、高校长之流，生活中不是没有的，对他们最好明哲保身。

《围城》的作者钱钟书先生是当之无愧的大家，看两性关系细腻而且尖锐。女性须细心揣摩，从此以后，看男人当不走眼，故推为首选。

《神雕侠侣》

金庸的每一本书都精彩纷呈，可单挑《神雕侠侣》来说，是因为这里面有杨过。

林燕妮曾这样评价杨过：“一见杨过误终生”，确实不假。杨过是性情中人，小龙女与他生死相许，程英、陆无双苦苦痴恋着他，公孙绿萼更是情深一片，甚至连小郭襄也眷恋于他，可见杨过的魅力。可单纯的女人轻易不要爱上他，除非你自认够本事，不然你一定为情所伤。因为像杨过这样的新好男人，他看得上的只会是小龙女这般清丽绝伦的人，说什么山盟海誓、海枯石烂，是因为他拥有最好的啊……

《飘》

光看《乱世佳人》这部世界名片是不够的，原著是应该读的。因为马格丽特·密切尔会教你做一个成功的女人。这里没有美中差异，郝思嘉可以做到的，你也可以做到。坚强、独立、积极，是现代女人的必备素质。如果你没有郝思嘉那般美丽动人，请记住，你也有追求美好的权利，你可以使自己变得风情万种。像郝思嘉不能真正拥有白瑞德那样，如果你不能拥有自己深爱的男人，不要紧，你还可以爱自己。

现代女人要学习的是郝思嘉那种风范，永不放弃，永远与残酷的现实抗争。

《红楼梦》

一个女人若没读过《红楼梦》的话，简直罪不可恕。理由很简单，只有看过《红楼梦》，才会明白原来女人可以这样哀婉动人，这样仪态万方，这样楚楚可怜，这样冰晶玉洁……曹雪芹告诉你什么才是真正的女人。

豪迈如史湘云，也有醉卧芍药的娇憨；聪慧如薛宝钗，也有花间扑蝶的稚气；也唯有幽怨如林黛玉，才有掩埋落花的闲情。《红楼梦》让我们真正看到女人的精彩，领略什么是水做的女人的深刻含义。即使势利狠毒如王熙凤，她的善于交际、果断坚决、处变不惊还是值得今天的女性学习。
