The Cop and the Anthem

The key word:Cop/vagrant/crime/prison/winter/arrested.The Cop and the Anthem is one of O.Henry's representative works.This novel

describes a vagrant who is jobless, homeless and commits crime on purpose so that he can be put into prison in winter.However,things don't goes as he expected.But when he makes up his mind to give up evil and return to good, he is arrested.Based on the whole text, the author's humor is present in various ways, one of

which is through irrationality during the development of plots.soap, the vagrant who has stirred up trouble for six times, is eager to go to prison.But he is always out of luck and get policeman's forgiveness.When soap is touched by the anthem and wants to be a good citizen, he is arrested for groundless reasons.This way is a kind of black humor manifesting social reality profoundly.We can see something gloomy, desperate,but simultaneously, we can't help laughing when reading the vivid description.Once, soap wants to reach his goal by molesting a woman, soap straightened the

lady missionary’s ready-made tie, dragged his shrinking cuffs into the open, set his hat at a killing cant and sidled toward the young women.but the seeming virtuous and quiet woman begin to seduce him in reverse.“Sure, Mike,” she said joyfully, “if you’ll blow me to a pail of suds.I’d have spoke to you sooner, but the cop was watching.”With the young woman playing the clinging ivy to his oak soap.Besides, soap steals an umbrella from a neatly dressed customer, but the umbrella is ill-gotten originally.''Of course,''said the umbrella man''that is—well, you know how these mistakes occur—I—if it’s your umbrella I hope you’ll excuse me—I picked it up this morning in a restaurant—If you recognise it as yours, why—I hope you’ll.So the

modest and lady and gentleman turn out to be someone that we cannot imagine, which is not rational.Nonetheless, as a matter of fact, they just hide their dirty acts under a beautiful veil and a small sign can indicate a great trend, we can learn that the so-called noble upper class goes more serious than the two.These plots reveals awful mood of that capitalist society.In addition, the conflict between the irrationality of Soap's behavior and the

rationality of the cop's judgment is one of the important reasons for Soap's “misfortune”.For example, soap breaks the glass and wait for the policeman to come and arrest him, but the cop reckons that a man who commits evil won't sit and wait for arrest, men who smash windows do not remain to parley with the law’s minions then he excludes soap.Besides, he wants to break the peace by virtue of kicking up a fuss in the street, identically, the cop deems that only college students dare to be so unbridled and boisterous''Tis one of them Yale lads celebrate’ the goose egg they give to the Hartford College.Noisy;but no harm.We have instructions to lave them be.His abnormal conducts is determined by his distorted mentality, which exactly reflects torture and agony both in life and mind oft he low-class.When the poor guy intends to do good the moment he is moved and inspired, the cop believes a vagrant will never something to do with the quiet atmosphere around a church, the soft lamplight and the touching music.Consequently, soap is caught unexpectedly.“What are you doing here?” asked the officer.''Nothing,'' said soap''Then come along.''said the policeman.''Three months on the Island.'' said the Magistrate in the Police Court the next morning..It is the accident that mirrors confusion of truth and falsehood, black and wright.Needless to say,there are many ways to represent humor, they have one thing in

common--where there is humor, there is specific implication.The writing style of the author is humorous, the disclosure of the society is deepgoing, the reflective life andmental distress are mirky.O.Henry uses a quantity of comparison and humor to fully display the character's wretched fate and cruelty of capitalist society.AboutTheAuthor

第三篇：《警察與贊美詩(shī)》讀后感

《警察與贊美詩(shī)》讀后感

?當(dāng)人們真正想做的事，卻會(huì)遭到背叛。?這是我在讀《警察與贊美詩(shī)》時(shí)，所想到的一句話。

誠(chéng)然，機(jī)會(huì)正在運(yùn)行，它不僅是被動(dòng)的，而且等著你來(lái)分析。分析；考慮到一系列瑣碎的事件，然后決定去做。也許它本身是一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝的?精神?，這是我們的勇氣、智慧和靈魂的考驗(yàn)。但這并不是說(shuō)所有的事情都不是安全的，如果我們是如此微妙，與古代有什么差異？當(dāng)然也要珍惜機(jī)會(huì)，抓住了機(jī)會(huì)，和?硬?，完全徹底地使用 ?硬?。如何更好的?完美?就是關(guān)鍵。

在這部電視劇的?結(jié)束意味著另一種‘開始 ’?。警察，只是例行公事，對(duì)于讀者，在生活中，只是一個(gè)小插曲。一個(gè)好的作家，情節(jié)，為贏得觀眾的尊重，但，蘇比，因?yàn)樗且郧暗?無(wú)知?的成果，因?yàn)樗遣欢湎?，他可能?huì)將命運(yùn)的?機(jī)會(huì)?，給放棄的結(jié)果。

幸福，但沒有走遠(yuǎn)。是的，有許多名人的幸福，機(jī)會(huì)是他們中的一個(gè)。不要等到上帝不耐煩了，因?yàn)樗灿邢才?lè)，后來(lái)痛苦的就是自己。

珍惜身邊的人，每一天，或在改變，但我們還沒有看到太忙。機(jī)會(huì)就像偶然的相遇，是一件好事。運(yùn)氣好的話，它將發(fā)揮優(yōu)勢(shì)，是一種?美?。人的一生會(huì)有各種情況，每種情況是非常不同的。要選擇一個(gè)不同的情況，會(huì)有一個(gè)不同的人生，一個(gè)不同的命運(yùn)，一個(gè)不同的變化……

機(jī)遇遇到卻不把握，是蠢材；不遇機(jī)遇卻懂得把握，是人才；既遇機(jī)遇又懂得把握，是天才。

第四篇：《警察與贊美詩(shī)》讀后感

《警察與贊美詩(shī)》讀后感-------------------再不說(shuō)放棄

每一次讀歐亨利先生的小說(shuō)，終會(huì)為故事的曲折回蕩所折服，為世界的百態(tài)眾生而慨嘆。正如很多人所說(shuō)的，如果把他的小說(shuō)作為一場(chǎng)“戲劇”對(duì)編劇而言，是個(gè)絕佳的情節(jié)；對(duì)觀眾而言，算是對(duì)得起一張入場(chǎng)票。

小說(shuō)來(lái)源現(xiàn)實(shí)，在讀者的眼中綻放，凸顯它刻畫的一切。先生通過(guò)短短的篇章，小小的故事，妙筆生花，在人們的心門上叩出無(wú)味人生。

有人說(shuō)《警察與贊美詩(shī)》訴諸的是人生中的機(jī)遇問(wèn)題。遇到卻不把握，是蠢材；不遇機(jī)遇卻懂得把握，是人才；既遇機(jī)遇又懂得把握，是天才。那么理所當(dāng)然，索比上演了一個(gè)無(wú)知的不知悔過(guò)遭人唾棄的小丑，背負(fù)起那個(gè)時(shí)代下蕓蕓眾生相悖于正義和常理的渣滓。不值得同情。而贊美詩(shī)的結(jié)局便成了點(diǎn)睛般的反襯。當(dāng)他驚恐地醒悟到自己已經(jīng)墜入了深淵，墮落的歲月?？蓯u的欲念，悲觀失望，才窮智竭，動(dòng)機(jī)卑鄙變?cè)萎吢丁?/p>

有人說(shuō)這是上帝在作祟。索比是這篇小說(shuō)中的主人公，窮困潦倒，衣不蔽體，他為了進(jìn)監(jiān)獄過(guò)一個(gè)溫暖的冬天而故意犯罪，惹是生非多達(dá)六次，竟沒能達(dá)到目的，后來(lái)想改邪歸正之時(shí)，警察卻逮捕了他，仿佛是上帝和他開的一個(gè)玩笑。上帝很公平，很大方嗎？對(duì)于索比來(lái)說(shuō)，當(dāng)他真正想要努力

去做的時(shí)候，上帝偏偏又開始吝嗇了，反悔了，賴皮了。這里我不禁想起了昆德拉先生所說(shuō)的，人類一思考，上帝就發(fā)笑。在我而言，索比也只是和阿Q的影子罷了。所不同的，是他們的命運(yùn)，相處兩個(gè)國(guó)度下的命運(yùn)，兩者都是杯具，而后者多少有些上帝和主人公開了一個(gè)小小的玩笑的意味了。還有人說(shuō)小說(shuō)接索比的故事諷刺了那個(gè)社會(huì)。在哪個(gè)到處崇尚自由民主的國(guó)度中，卻終因金錢模糊了正義而純潔的價(jià)值觀?！澳蔷旒贝掖业嘏苋ヰ捯晃淮┩矶Y服的金發(fā)高個(gè)女士過(guò)馬路，免得它在兩條街以外朝這邊駛過(guò)來(lái)的電車撞著?！本觳⒉魂P(guān)注蘇比與“傘主人”的爭(zhēng)執(zhí)，而去幫助一些或許根本就不需要幫助的人。正是說(shuō)明了這一點(diǎn)。甚至于在索比丟下第一塊石頭時(shí)，警察慣性的思維講索比的“夢(mèng)想”丟在一邊，警察的觀點(diǎn)代表了那個(gè)和諧社會(huì)的想法，一切順理成章。然而當(dāng)蘇比最后在贊美詩(shī)的意境中醍醐灌頂，一股強(qiáng)烈的沖動(dòng)激勵(lì)著他去向坎坷的命運(yùn)奮斗的時(shí)候，警察卻留意了他。這就是不公平給予他的。也正是歐亨利所諷刺的哪個(gè)可笑的世界。在那個(gè)世界，不公平不僅僅來(lái)源于金錢，還來(lái)源于社會(huì)地位。索比便是那個(gè)世界下最為普通的小小的一員，他用他的思想和覺悟，用他笨拙的行為為世界留下淡淡的一筆。然而我想說(shuō)的，如今我們也在提倡和諧社會(huì)，可至今也許只是空有架子，人們看不到和諧，阿Q思想和索比精神仍然存在，更多的人看不到春天的美好。和諧，和諧，我們需

要做的還有很多。歐亨利先生將這一切告訴眾人，便是警示眾人，至此，我們努力摒棄那些可笑的觀念，慢慢感化這個(gè)世界，未來(lái)，總是美好的吧。

第五篇：警察與贊美詩(shī)讀后感

《警察和贊美詩(shī)》講的是流浪漢蘇比為了度過(guò)冬天，而想方設(shè)法進(jìn)入監(jiān)獄過(guò)冬，警察與贊美詩(shī)讀后感。但他始終未能如愿，總是發(fā)生各種情況使他進(jìn)不了監(jiān)獄，當(dāng)他在教堂聽到有人在唱贊美詩(shī)時(shí)，他突然想要出新做人，當(dāng)他正準(zhǔn)備去找工作的時(shí)候，警察逮捕了他，法官判他到監(jiān)獄服刑三個(gè)月。

小說(shuō)中寫道：他可以去的地方多的是……可是對(duì)蘇比這種性格高傲的人來(lái)說(shuō)，慈善的恩賜是行不通的。他沒有工作，更沒有生活經(jīng)濟(jì)來(lái)源，而又不要?jiǎng)e人的恩賜，我想一個(gè)人有他這樣的想法很好，很自立的想法，但也要分什么時(shí)候，在沒有自立能力的時(shí)候這種想法還是算了吧，就像一個(gè)剛破殼而出的小鳥，走道還不利索，就要展翅飛翔，那最終的結(jié)果必然是“假令風(fēng)歇時(shí)下來(lái)，必然摔個(gè)大屁敦?！?/p>

所以蘇比這種人就是典型的“眼高手低”。

世界之大，無(wú)奇不有?，F(xiàn)實(shí)生活中也不乏“蘇比”。我在網(wǎng)上看到一則新聞：說(shuō)一個(gè)將近七旬的老太太，無(wú)兒無(wú)女，每月只靠低保金度日，自稱兩月沒吃肉了，竟拿著刀在火車站持刀公然搶劫。進(jìn)監(jiān)獄后，老太太面對(duì)記者的鏡頭很開心，說(shuō)自己最近長(zhǎng)了10斤稱。

這還不是個(gè)別案例，據(jù)說(shuō)還有一位40多歲的人故意犯罪，就為免費(fèi)治療他的腿傷。監(jiān)獄何時(shí)成為收留所？這也說(shuō)明，現(xiàn)今的社會(huì)體系中，老百姓生活質(zhì)量大大提高，但實(shí)際上，窮人還是有的。當(dāng)然，這并不是黨和政府的錯(cuò)誤，哪個(gè)國(guó)家沒有幾個(gè)窮人，那美國(guó)還有貧民窟呢。但我想，政府應(yīng)給對(duì)這類“蘇比”提供些幫助，比如多建些收容所，或幫他們找些工作。

轉(zhuǎn)回正題，《警察和贊美詩(shī)》也講了一個(gè)道理：機(jī)遇是不等人的，也許，當(dāng)你錯(cuò)過(guò)后，他還跟著你，但當(dāng)你回頭后，它便離開了。

---------------------

小說(shuō)來(lái)源現(xiàn)實(shí)，在讀者的眼中綻放，凸顯它刻畫的一切。先生通過(guò)短短的篇章，小小的故事，妙筆生花，在人們的心門上叩出無(wú)味人生，讀后感《警察與贊美詩(shī)讀后感》。
