摘 要
《追风筝的人》被认为是成长小说的一个典型例子。这部小说讲的是一个叫做阿米尔的阿富汗小男孩的成长故事。本文在已有的成长小说相关的理论基础上,通过探讨成长小说的运行机制,略论成长小说的定义,其发展过程和基本特点来论证《追风筝的人》是为典型的成长小说。救赎,作为实现成长的一个手段,是不可避免的。在阿米尔的原罪原因被略论后,索性在其自身的觉醒下,通过一种流血的方式实现自我救赎。本文通过对这几个方面的略论,英语论文题目,英语毕业论文,从而论证即使阿米尔在最初的成长道路上犯过大错,他最终还是真正的成长了。作者希望读者能通过阅读本文更好地理解什么是正确的价值观和真正的成长,并引起读者对青少年成长过程的足够重视。
