Stylistic Analysis of Become A Child of Nature: It's A Twofold Task of Parents And Children Introduction At the beginning of the text, writer directly comes up with an argument that children discover the beauty of nature depends on their parents. It's clear to understand the idea of the text for readers(children and parents). In turn, the second paragraph points out that the form of imperative sentences five aspects: touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. For this reason the whole text's structure has been indicated apparently. I divide them into four parts. Part one is the first to second paragraph, because they lead the rest of paragraphs. Part two is the third to sixth paragraph. They roundly state in terms of specific aspects about " understand ". Therefore, part three is seventh to eighth paragraph, and they talk the common topic of " respect ". Part four is ninth paragraph that states parents as good examples can have a good influence on children. Chapter 1. Appreciate The Beauty of Nature Lexis 1.Nouns Purely abstract nouns ( smell, slight, touch, taste, etc.) are essential points in this text,because the text will state arguments from these aspects. However, the text has a lot of " personal pronounces"- "you, they" and " relative pronounces "-" who, what, which, that". Generally speaking, the complex sentences follow them. 2.Verbs Verbs are far more frequent in this passage. Most verbs are epistemic and non-epistemic. It conveys that writer looks forward to the readers( children and parents )can finish to do what he said in the text. Indeed, it accounts for more than two-thirds of all words. 3.Adjectives The passage in the part two is more than part one. And these adjectives( fresh, delighted, healthy, etc.)describe nature that occupies over a half of all adjectives. 4.Adverbs There exists a few of adverbs and they (out, on) tend to combine with verbs to emphasize movement and activity(walk on, go out, etc.)There are also manner adverbs in-ly: importantly, seriously. With its degrees, passage can become more rigorous. Syntax 1.Sentence Structure This text whose sentence structure tends to short sentence. For instance," Wonderful phenomena of nature are all around us." It's a typical short sentence and it can submit an objective fact. At the same time, if a short sentence is employed after a long sentence, it will have great essence on conveying emotion to readers than a single short sentence. For example, "If children discover the beauty of nature while they are young, they will respect nature and try to preserve it when they are older. Parents play an essential role in helping their children make this discovery." The example above reflects that the employment of a short sentence is behind a long sentence and it strengthens the importance of the roles of parents in some aspects sharply. What's more, readers for parents understand the important point in specific aspects and they can efficiently arouse their kids' awareness of discovery in nature. Rhetorical Question is employed in the text and in the form of "Parallelism". First, rhetorical question indicates the opposition meaning for itself. Therefore," Have you ever awakened early to watch the sunrise?" The meaning of writer who wants to express is that you indeed don't awake early to watch the sunrise. Moreover, writer has a blamed emotion in his passage. Second, the passage also employs a lot of rhetorical questions, which can strengthen momentum and make demonstration stronger and arrest reader's attention and then arouse their common consciousness of some points. On the one hand, I think it's a kind of side describes through a lot of rhetorical questions about details in life so that it makes readers especially parents attach importantly to a great influence on examples for their kids. On the other hand, writer deeply reveals a fact that the relationship of nature and human being have derailed. Surely, it closes to the idea about the text and prompts the whole progress of the passage so that this paragraph keeps in touch with the next paragraph. And it can make readers feel natural conversion because of connecting with next paragraph. This kind of structure directly impacts the whole text its tight sense of internal coherence and a relatively loose linkage with the textual material before and after it. By repeating certain grammatical structure, a writer can balance his material so as to order it, to emphasize it and make it easier for his readers to grasp in every slight aspect. So the balance of structure is called " parallel structure ". It is willing to explore and use their senses of touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing. In this sentence, the noticeable feature of the parallel structure is the precise balancing of word against word that is employed obviously. The story has been written to be spoken to children and the simplest syntax is necessary if the child-listener is to grasp what is going on. For example, " Have you ever awakened early to watch the sunrise? Have you ever stopped to observe a setting sun? Children can be reminded of discovering the beauty of nature actively through the understanding of simple sentences for him. Meanwhile, writer's purpose can be accomplished by children's aspect. 2. Subordinate Clause Nevertheless, there almost exists the subjective clause in each sentence is hedged about with subordinate clauses and phrases. "Helping children to gain such an appreciation and understanding can be an exciting adventure which is available to all that are willing to explore and use their senses of touch, etc. The whole structure of the sentence is causative and clauses of explanatory appreciation and understanding by "that"or"which". It is a finite clause by "that" and "which" to spread out the "adventure" and "all". As we can see from the above example, which is the way to arrange ideas and it's determined by the ideas to be expressed. Generally, I regard it as a writer's syntax as a system that conveys the dynamics of him perception. Although the example only contains two levels,namely,"finite clause and main clause". The sentence's level can't influence the meaning of the text that wants to express. At the beginning of the text, writer used adverbial clause of condition as an opening paragraph. In my point of view, it is to identify the general syntactic design of a piece of argumentation is to get near the idea he conveys and an effect he expects to create. And adverbial clause of condition by "if" it appears in this text many times,mainly in the part two. "If children discover the beauty of nature while they're young, they'll respect nature and try to preserve it when they're older." In addition to, it's not an adverbial clause of condition because at the end of every clause has another level,it called "adverbial clause of time". To some degrees, writer tends to express more specific contents for readers whoever is an adult or child. 3.Verb Phrase It's hardly found there are complex and elusive verb phrases in this text so that we can clearly understand what's the purpose of the writer. It seems that the writer is fond of using such phrases as"can be","would die","will start". These involve awareness not only of a narrative point of time,but of circumstances which is in relation to that point, are past ,future. "They can be educated in this aspect and learn......" Coherence In a manner of speaking, at the beginning of text, a lot of long sentences are employed and there are many grammatical structures.So,I think the text is a formal argumentation and its administrative levels explicitly make readers understand deeply. Meanwhile, in the second paragraph its coherence utterly is shown by a lot of imperative sentences about coming to depict five aspects. Chapter 2 Understand And Respect Nature for Parents that Good Examples And Children Who Need To Imitate. Lexis 1.Nouns Over half of these nouns are relative to nature like rock,mountain,leaves,etc.In part two,these words are about nature and in some aspect. So that writer conveys that five aspects minutely in the base of them. 2.Adjectives Similarly,adjectives are indicated for the content,(such first-hand,good,etc.)in setting a good example. In part two,there are a few adjectives,which indicates the rigour of the text. 3.Verbs In contrast,verbs are particularly frequent in the text,but they don't mean completely that it's full of action. Most verbs belong to non-epistemic such as"can". It conveys an ability that of parents' guide for children. Of course,there exists the epistemic modality. "Can" shows a kind of possibility for children who can catch sight of nature. 4.Adverbs The most attention-getting classes of adverb are those of manner("importantly","seriously",etc.) together with focusing adverbs such as"even". Sentence Structure A succession of short sentences are not only good for physical movement,but also efficient for mental activities. They can mark a period of excitement or something else. "They have seen them,touched them,and played with them. "It shows that an exciting emotion about human being gets along well with nature. Imperative sentence is in first-person as subject. And when readers read it,as if you were in that situation,can strengthen the reality and convince of the text. "Collect some rocks and point out that some rocks are minerals...... "Children can get along well with nature in a variety of things ,and the key point is how to make them interest nature's detail,maybe it depends on parents method how to lead them to discover. Another example,"Take your children for a visit to gardens and farms where food is grown. "The sentence contains two kinds of structures. The first one is the imperative sentence,verb original form at the beginning of the sentence,which states sharply that parents what they need to do with children. Generally speaking,imperative sentence shows a kind of suggestion or order or requirement. However,the above example reflects writer wants to give an appropriate suggestion for parents so that children can touch or feel the beauty of nature. The second structure is the adverbial clause of place by "where",namely,"where" makes an effect on adjunct to the whole sentence. At the same time,it takes place of "gardens" and "farms" what they affect it in the main sentence as an adverbial clause of place. In this passage,there are many kinds of clauses. Nevertheless,writer has made the difficulty to be the lowest for the readers. "Many fish can die or become contaminated from the trash that is thrown into the ocean. "The above example reflects the subjective clause by"that". That is instead of"trash"to be the subject in the subjective clause. In reality,it makes the whole sentence become sophisticated. The term"periodic"can be used more loosely to refer to any sentence in which anticipatory or parenthetical constituents play an important part:Many children,through the examples,can begin to become...... "It's a specific way to tell children that they can do if possible,just takes advantage of using referred to advice. Syntax 1. Sentence structure The subordinate structure is to be preferred if the aim is to present the logical relationship of a complex group of ideas. "To help children gain an understanding of the world around them and the importance of ecology,parents can use interesting objects from their children's everyday lives. "Obviously,the logical relationship is built up in this sentence. I have referred to the parallel structure in the part one,and there is another form of parallelism. "You can explain to them that plants are necessary not only for food but also for controlling floods. "You are not only giving them a good model to imitate,you're also helping them to increase their chances for survival. "The first example indicates the feature of the parallel structure is word against word that is equivalent to the part one. The second indicates that phrase against phrase which has been referred in the part one. The above examples are introduced by"not only,but also" by stating the merits of plants to children and parents in the first example. In the second example,by stating the importance of parents that a good model to children,which states the more you did,the more closest to nature your children did. That makes the text to be convincing and states an argument that the relationship of nature and human. 2.Subordinate clause The passage has an obvious feature of using lots of adverbial clauses of condition. "If you open up before your children's eyes by your actions that you respect the environment in which you live,this will start them on this path. "It states a nice action can impact your children sharply and this is the best way to get along well with nature. A neat and logical syntactic arrangement helps to clearly understand the idea. 3.Coherence From five aspects,part two tends to utter simple and short words in the statement,and it's proper to describe felicitous situation such as pollution,fish can die. Meanwhile,four paragraphs close to the five aspects in order and states relative details. It's easy to figure out the whole structure of the text for readers.It does not only increase administrative levels,but coherence. Conclusion All in all,we can't live without nature,namely,if we don't deal with the relationship of nature and human. As for children who they will do that depends on a good example from their parents. The writer thinks it's time to take the advice of stimulative harmonious relationship to put special emphasis on the improvement of the relationship of children and nature,no more adults. Clearly,if we still don't control the problem,the chances are that damaged nature will lead us in danger. After reading the text,I sincerely believe that many parents will be aroused concern and do it just like the text that has stated methods.
