IV. Text Analysis
1. Main idea of the text: The quotations taken from Cabin Fever bring the widow back in time to her wedding day and married life, which was as happy and peaceful as a strange woman predicted at the wedding ceremony. The widow’s mind slipped back to her wedding ceremony at which she and her husband received a strange word gift which had a magic power. The message her husband left her showed that their “aunt”s prophecy had come true---they worked hard and loved each other and that was why the widow stored the painful quotation. 2. Division of the text:
PartⅠ(Para.1-2) The quotations the widow stores in a notebook remind her of the painful memory of her late husband.
PartⅡ(Para.3-15) The widow’s mind slipped back to her wedding ceremony at which she and her husband received a strange word gift which had a magic power.
PartⅢ(Para.16-19) The message her husband left her showed that their “aunt”’s prophecy had come true---they worked hard and loved each other and that was why the widow stored the painful quotation.
3. Devices for developing the text: 1)Device for developing Part I Quotation (引言法)
Now, in a notebook, she stores quotations like this one from Elizabeth Jolley’s Cabin Fever: “ I experience again the deep-felt wish to be part of a married couple, to sit by the fire in winter with
the man who is my husband. So intense is this wish that if I write the word husband on a piece of paper, my eyes fill with tears.”(Para. 1)
2)Devices for developing PartⅡ:
A. Flashback (倒叙法)
Now: We begin with a worn wedding album. In the first picture, the bride and groom are facing,
with uncertain smiles, a church filled with relatives and friends.
Past: From“The bride did not wear glasses that day. (Para. 3)”to Para.15
B. Sequence of time & space(时空法)
Time Signals: now (L.7), that day(L.9), as (L .10), then (L.25), Soon (L.26), With the passage of the time and the birth of grandchildren (L.35), occasionally (L.43)
Space Signals: in the first picture (L.7), a church (L.8), to the back of the church (L.10), at the
door (L.10), in a borrowed car (L.26), a state-park lodge (L.43), before a great oak fire (L.27), from work (L.41), home (L.41)
3) Devices for developing Part III:
A. Flashback (倒叙法)
Past： One evening her husband had fallen asleep while reading a spy novel. She wrote a note on the envelope and left it on his book: “Husband, I have gone next door to help Mrs. Norton with her sick children.” (Para. 18) The next morning she saw he had written below her message: “Wife, I missed you. You thought I was asleep, but I was just resting my eyes and thinking about that peculiar woman who talked to us in church a long time ago. …”(Para. 19) B. Quotation (引言法)
The next morning she saw he had written below her message: “ Wife, I missed you. You thought I was asleep, but I was just resting my eyes and thinking about that peculiar woman who talked to us in church a long time ago. It has always seemed to me that she was the wrong shape for a heavenly messenger. Anyway, it’s time to stop wondering whether she came from heaven or a nearby town. What matters is this: whoever she was, Aunt Esther Gubbins was right.”(Para. 19)
