“the apparition of these faces in the crowds： /petals on a wet， blackbough.” my first reaction on reading ezra pound's 1916 poem in a station of themetro was that of outrage. is it a poem by any definition? if it is a poem， howis it to be interpreted and understood? and finally， what are the implicationsthat this poem has produced for the twentieth- century american literature?

my initial bewilderment subsided as i realized that there must a raisond'etre behind this apparently bizarre literary phenomenon. what i should do isto put this poem into the context of the american literary evolution andliterary history. at least， the poem raises an important challenge. it requiresme to understand some of the crucial changes that must be happening around theturn of the last century.

my subsequent studies indicate that this poem represents part of the largerliterary movement known as imagism， which included such theorists andpractitioners as t. e. hume， hilda doolittle， amy lowell， ezra pound， etc. themovement was a direct reaction to the late victorian poetry， which had becomeextremely artificial， emptily “rhetorical” and “ornamental”。 to address suchproblems， it was necessary to loosen the metrical pattern and bring it backcloser to the rhythms of ordinary speech. consequently， the “imagist” movementhad a great deal to do with promoting experiments with free verse， advocatingamong many creeds the need “to allow absolute freedom in the choice of subject”and “to produce poetry that is hard and clear， never blurred nor indefinite.”when archibald macleish said in his ars poetica (1926) that “a poem should notmean / but be”， he had similar concerns in his mind. imagism， minor as it is asa literary movement， triggered important changes in literary criticism，introducing the notion of internal studies as embodied by new criticism tosubstitute the conventional critical practices.

the foregoing incident is but one instance that happened in my study ofliterature. for a chinese student like me， it has at least two importantimplications. first， a literary work must not be treated in isolation. itinteracts with what is written before it and after it and this historicalperspective is one way in which we may add to our interpretation. second， it isimportant to be acquainted with relevant literary theories when interpreting agiven literary work.

a student majoring in english (& international trade) at the englishdepartment of _ university， i grew increasingly interested in literature duringthe second half of my undergraduate program. of course， i was trained to be astudent of english language in the first place and as such i received thestandard academic training typical of a student of english major. for the firsttwo years， i primarily had intensive trainings in basic english language skillsby attending courses in advanced listening， writing， reading and oralcommunication. my distinguished academic performance is demonstrated by the fourconsecutive first-class and second-class scholarships i won from 1999 to 20__.in 20__， i was awarded the second prize in the campus-wide english compositioncontest and in 20__ the first prize in the translation contest. anotherindicator of my scholastic achievements is the honor of outstanding graduate of_province that i received by the time i completed my undergraduate program.

i started reading english novels as soon as i began my undergraduateprogram. but i primarily used it as a way to increase my vocabulary and toimprove my reading comprehension. since the second year in my undergraduateprogram， our curriculum included five major courses related to anglo-americanliterature and culture： selected readings in english literature， selectedreadings in american literature， introduction to european culture， the historyof english and american literature， selected readings in english & americanfictions. those courses provided me with a cultural and historical frameworkwith which to understand anglo-american literature and to know theirinterrelationships. i grew familiar with major authors and works in british andamerican literature and gained tentative knowledge of western criticalapproaches. books like literary theory—an introduction by terry eagleton and20th literary criticism edited by david lodge proved somewhat esoteric to me，but they allowed me to realize that there are important critical approaches verydifferent from those in chinese literature and different from conventional onesin western literature itself.

my defining interest in british and american literature led me to writeabout t. s. eliot and his poetry in my thesis dull roots stirred by the springrain—meaning through imagery in t. s. eliot's “waste land”(available uponrequest)。 in this thesis， i examined different groups of imagery that t. s.eliot employed to externalize his central ideas and emotions. i also analyzedthe theoretical justifications for his virtually excessive use of imagery bytracing it to his theory of “objective correlative” that he proposed in hamletand his problems， a critical essay contained in the sacred wood (1920)。

in an extracurricular event， students in our department put onshakespeare's drama romeo and juliet and i was the performer-director. based onmy own understanding of the play， i changed its tragic ending and made it ahappy one by allowing the hero and the heroine to be resurrected and reunited. ibelieve that a love of such intensity should be fulfilled， otherwise it would betoo pathetic.

in the last semester of my undergraduate program， i was recruited by myuniversity to teach the course appreciation of american literature to studentsof non-english major. by applying my computer skills， i developed a series ofcourseware， covering different periods of american literature and illustrated bygraphics and diagrams to make an otherwise difficult course interesting and easyto understand.

nevertheless i am fully aware that my knowledge of american literature isfar from sufficient. i need to receive more advanced education for the sake of abetter career development. therefore i plan to apply for a graduate program inenglish at the university of _， concentrating on modern and contemporaryamerican literature. your program is nationally recognized (listed as among thetop 10 in _ according to _) and it attacks me for its quality， small size andclose mentorship. i am interested in your well-designed curriculum whosecontemporary american literature， american literary history， special topics inamerican literature， american literature 1865-1914， 1914-1960. among your 13professors， i would like to receive instructions from _， _， _. _， and _. ibelieve i am well-prepared and genuinely motivated for your program， which willteach me the knowledge and expertise nowhere to be sought in my own country.

尊敬的老师：

您好：我今年17岁，17岁是花开的季节，也是多梦的季节，从小到大我用自己的聪慧和坚韧，一步一步实现着我的憧憬和梦想，我向往着将我的聪明才智在灿若星河的导师的点拨下，使我成为于国于民用有的栋梁之材;我向往着能在传承着中华人文脉络和科技创新的校园里，薰染、陶冶和提升着自己，我选择了浙大，因为这所历经百年风雨历练的“东方剑桥”，以“求是创新”为校训，没有浮华与骄躁，严谨治学，正如我脚踏实地、不急功近利、追求水到渠成的性格;我向往着能在精英汇聚、人才济济的浙大，书写我更加璀璨的人生篇章，我想我有足够的实力和自信选择浙大，因此，我向贵校提出申请，希望能获得一个让浙大选择我的机会。

我的父母都是教师出身，承传了身为数学教师父亲的智慧，我对数字有着特殊的的敏感，严谨的逻缉思维能力和发散性的思维方式，使我徜洋在繁杂的数理化的海洋里，乐此不疲，也正因为如此，文科功底同样扎实的我，始终没有走进文科班的课堂;我对不会的东西有一种先天性的好奇，不会的东西我从不主动放弃而是追本求源，直到柳暗花明我才善罢甘休;我做事从不半途而废，学打乒乓球，我练到胳膊酸肿，最后敢和男孩比试，为参加4_100米的接力，我天天到操场上“恶补”，最后为班级夺得名次;和爸爸学下棋，我不服输宁可不吃饭;我坚信朝秦暮楚、见异思迁、飘忽不定的人永远做不成事;“咬定青山不放松”、“心有多大舞台就有多大”是我的座佑铭。业余时间我还喜欢下棋、画画、看大片，对于色彩，我有一种天生的直觉，伴着铅笔细致的线条，我在画架前度过了三年的时光，也练就了我扎实的美术功底，我的画在学校艺术节上获二等奖，我是学校校园网动漫版的版主，为此上学期我花费了太多的精力，使我的总成绩落为年级的154名，这个学期，我又奋起直追，重新回到年级55名;我的一口流利的美式英语，就得益于看美国大片，看大片不仅可以享受艺术的美并从中感受异国的文化而且还可以提高我的英语水平，从小学到初中、高中，英语奥赛先后取得了国家和市级奖二等奖。闲暇时，钢琴将我还原为一个浪漫的女孩，手指间，流出秋日的思语，这时的我宁静而又陶醉，我就不再是乒乓球台前的我，钢琴舒缓着我疲劳的大脑，我觉得好陶醉，生活好美好美!我自幼爱好文学，传承了母亲的文学嗜好，我阅读了大量的文学名著，对各国神话传说有着浓厚的兴趣，并喜爱古代诗文、现代散文，从诸子百家到游记杂谈都有所涉猎。我追随余秋雨踏上《文化苦旅》，欣赏《霜冷长河》，感悟《千年一叹》;读易中天品天下之城，随茅盾度过《子夜》，看《春蚕》、忙《秋收》，莎士比亚悲惨剧情让我痛苦，马尔克斯的魔幻现实让我神往……。

从一年级起我就担任班长，初中以后我转到了一个民办初中，也是区重点初中，刚开始他们没把我这个转校生放在眼里，加上他们进度比我原学校快，我有些吃力，但很快我凭借咬定青山的坚轫和聪慧、高效奋起直追。我从不像有的孩子学到半夜，休息日走马灯似地恶补，我注重学习效率，珍惜课堂上的每一分钟，学习时，我屏心静气，心无旁骛，放松时，我玩游戏、打乒乓、游泳、下棋、画漫画，我以令人吃惊的速度学习着进步着，一张一弛，紧张的学习让我驾驭得紧张而又活泼。同时在新的集体，我发挥我的美术、文学特长，办板报、写小品、主持新晚会，很快凭自己的人格魅力和学习成绩折服了其他同学，“两岸猿声啼不住，轻舟已过万重山”---妈妈这样形容我的初中生活。初中毕业典礼上，我以学校第一名、全市前十名的成绩举起母校送我的奖杯，我坦然面对成功，没有飘飘然忘乎所以，我知道，这个成功只是一个开始，它更让我坚信一个道理：成功不能靠偶然的机遇，靠的是脚踏实地的努力，是力量的厚积薄发，是付出后的水到渠成。

迈进这所省重点中学的校门，并进了重点班级。我没有参加任何科目的竞赛班，我只想以我的实力，扎实地学好每一门功课，在高考时凭总成绩，选择一所我向往的学校，理想的专业，我在数学、语文、英语等学科有着较大的优势，而唯在化学科目上总是找不到感觉，也影响了我的总成绩。为此今年我咬住化学弄懂弄会每一道题，很快，我的这科成绩也有了长足的进步，我相信，只要我努力，就会有收获。尽管高中生活更加紧张，但我同样抽出时间办板报、参加社会实践、义工活动。我到老年福利院帮助孤寡老人，到社区帮助残疾人家庭清扫卫生，为“挣”书钱，我和同学冒着寒风卖花卖报，社会实践使我了解社会，体会生活的甘苦，我不想成为一个呆在象牙塔里的书呆子。

“国有成均，在河之滨”，历经战争历练的浙大，坐落在桃红柳绿的西子湖畔，更以她“求是”的学风而。在对自己未来进行规划时，鉴于自己较强的数学运算能力、逻辑思维能力和对信息的捕捉和分析能力，我理想是做一个精算师，“心有多大，舞台就有多大”，我从不认为我是一个小女生，我认为我会和男孩子一样做大事、做大学问，随着高考脚步的临近，我觉得我的目标越来越清晰了，我的目标离我的理想越来越近了，我暗下决心要进入到一所我无悔的学校，我渴望浙大能助我在追寻理想的道路上走得更远，我想起母校的一句话，“今天我以母校为荣，明天母校以我为荣”，我选择浙大，带着几分自信与霸气，扬帆起程，乘风破浪，请老师给我这个机会来证明我的实力，张扬我的个性，实现我的价值。

此致

敬礼!

尊敬的学校领导：

大家好。

我叫某某_，是_年级会计二班的一名学生。去年我在体育课上因为意外摔倒摔断了左腿。经过一年的治疗和康复，基本痊愈。为了不耽误下学期的课程学习，特此申请复学。去年住院后，由于无法上课，学校向学校提交了休学申请。当时我的辅导员张志业先生跑来跑去，所有的休学手续都是由他办理的，所以对于复学的具体程序我不是很确定。上周我打电话给张先生，但是办公室的老师告诉我张先生已经被调到另一个单位去了。我不能再打扰张先生了。

我6月7日开始上学，再过20天正好是一年。当校园进入6月，在不久的将来，所有方面的工作更忙，暑假快到了，为了能够完成所有入学手续在校园假期之前，我咨询了王先生的学校行政办公室。王先生给了我很多帮助。我填了一些表格。在家庭的一年里，我从未放弃我的课本学习。出院后不久，我要求我的家人把我所有的专业书籍从学校拿回来，每天为自己制定具体的学习计划。专业的`外语，我几乎每天都读。当我的同学来我家的时候，我会把我不懂的地方拿出来，征求他们的意见。

在过去的一年里，我也读了很多关于提高我个人修养的书和一些著名的中外书籍。因此，虽然我没有在学校学习一年，我没有停止学习。因此，我希望领导再次考虑我是否可以从原来的班级学习。我知道这个提法有点过分，但是我想请学校的相关老师在做决定之前进行一次考试。如果我在各方面的知识都不尽如人意，我将毫无怨言、毫无遗憾地重新学习。

表达我最衷心的感谢。

尊敬的先生、女士：

你们好。

我是居住在英国伦敦的一名华人。我从一个在上海的朋友那里得知你们在国内举办"刊授大学"的消息，颇感兴趣，所以不惜隔着千山万水，写信申请。

我很小便跟随父母移居英国，每天在学校学习的当然是英文。但是我不能因居住在另一国家而忘记祖国的语言。试想，身为一个中国人而不懂自己国家的语言是一件多么羞耻的事!所以，我坚持不断地每星期六到伦敦开办的中文学校学习。由于多年来的刻苦学习，我的中文水平已大有提高，但是非常可惜，这所学校并没有设置较深的中文课程，所教的无非是些基础和补习性质的中文课，所以我只好在空闲的时间自修。我爱祖国悠久的文化、历史、语言，这促使我想深入学习并了解有关中国文学的各方面知识。但在英国，这个条件非常差，无法满足我这强烈的愿望。现在，我的这位朋友跟我谈及了有关你们在国内举办的"刊授大学"，我便请他设法替我申请。我已阅读了大量的中文书籍、刊物，中国的许多文学名著我都看过，每天还阅读中文报纸。

在英国，虽然有无数的函授学校，但所授的`大多是商业、科技等专业，文科的专业非常少，更不要说中国语言文学专业了。我知道我申请入学会带给先生、女士们很多麻烦，但我相信你们会谅解我求知心切，多么希望能够跟随"刊授大学"学习!你们若想从各个方面了解我，只要来信告知，我会尽我所能答复你们的一切问题。

请接受我衷心的谢意!

尊敬的领导：

您好!

在公司我一直过得很好，很感谢公司领导对我的关照和同事对我的帮助，但是由于薪酬和工作时间问题，我很抱歉我决定辞职。做为行政文员，我每天做的事情很多很杂，工作上让我分不清文员跟行政文员的差别，工资上也是如此。我每天都在做这些事情;办公设备的管理，计算机、传真机、签字长途电话、复印机的具体使用和登记，名片印制，邮件和报刊的收取、分发工作，低值易耗办公用品的发放、使用登记和离职时的缴回，各类办公用品仓库保管，每月清点，年终盘存统计，做到入库有验收、出库有手续，保证帐实相符，完成各项勤杂、采购工作等等大量很杂的工作，然而我的工资却每个月只有一千多，而且每周工作6天，我觉得我的付出跟收获不对等，我也不能对我目前的现状改变什么，因此我选择辞职。

希望领导能够批我的辞职请求，在我正式辞职的这段时间我会做好交接工作。
