Life is wonderful, sometimes you inadvertently contact someone or something, but it may be branded in your life. For me, "song of ice and fire" is like this.
One day, when I was looking for foreign novels in the library, I inadvertently found the song of ice and fire on the shelf, which aroused my interest, so I borrowed the first volume of the game of power. I didn't expect that since then, I have been predestined with this magical work. Now it has been nearly ten years.
I have a big brain hole since I was a child. When I was in junior high school, I happened to see the release of the Lord of the rings. I came into contact with many fantasy films and TV literature works, which confirmed the fragmentary absurd ideas in my mind in other people's works. However, song of ice and fire brought me a sense of subversion. It made me realize that fantasy can be written like this.
Unlike the Lord of the rings, the legend of Narnia and the chronicle of the Dragon spear, the fantasy world in Song of ice and fire has no camp, no absolute opposition and fierce contradiction between the light and the dark forces (some people will say strange ghosts, but please note that except for the night watchman and some Northern lords, most people in Westeros regard strange ghosts as a biography He said. Moreover, this is a world where magic, dragon and other fantasy elements have a relatively low sense of existence. Most of the chapters in the book are struggles between people. Therefore, compared with other fantasy works, "song of ice and fire" is more like a historical novel in the guise of fantasy.
The first volume of song of ice and fire gives me an impact not only on writing techniques, but also on its content. Martin, the old man, has set up the image of Duke ned Stark's integrity and fortitude in my mind. I think he is the main character, but I didn't expect that more than half of the first volume, he was killed like a dog, which is simply unacceptable. What's also unacceptable is drogokao, the tribal chief like the God of war, who is very successful When I was the protagonist in the book, I lost my life because of a small wound. It's the first time I've seen such a vicious writer in my works. However, Martin is both hateful and lovable. For example, in the penultimate chapter of Volume 1, the Lords of the Northern Territory shout "long live the king of the Northern Territory", for example, in the last chapter of Volume 1, Denise and her dragon come out of the ashes. After the great sadness, there is a good hope, which makes people want to give up.
After reading this magical work, I quickly fell in love with song of ice and fire, but Martin, the king of pit, just didn't want to write a good book, so he started my long journey of chasing books. In the later reading, the flag less brotherhood, savages, scholastic City, slave Federation and other forces all appeared on the stage, and my heart became more and more "cold" in the constant reading. I no longer grieved for a certain role, but watched this historical wheel mixed with all kinds of characters and emotions move forward peacefully, crushing everyone. In the era of chaos, people's lives are like weeds. Noble and upright people rot in the mud ditch.
Conspirators sing on the throne. Losers lose their lives. Winners are not far from death. Look at the names of these volumes: the game of power, the dispute among kings, the storm of ice rain, the feast of crows, and the wild dance of magic dragon. All these names indicate the fate of the characters. But when everyone is fighting for each other, there are also people like the night watchman who, knowing that they are not understood, are still fighting against the darkness and evil; There are also people like James who find their conscience in the chaos of the world. The glimmer of human nature in the chaotic world is the brightest star in the dark, which is the reason why song of ice and fire is loved.
When telling the story, Martin also brings us many classic sentences. These sentences not only highlight the character of the characters in the book, but also provide readers with many ways to deal with life.
"Only fear can be brave"
"Power is like a shadow on the wall. No matter how small people are, they can cast a huge shadow."
"Waste your time trying to win people's love, and you'll be the most loved dead."
"Life is no more than a ballad, you will be disappointed one day"
"Some victories are won by sword and spear, others by pen and paper and crow"
With the growth of age and the enrichment of experience, the lines of the characters in these books fascinate me more and more. Sometimes you will find that this is a kind of guide to your life and how to deal with people. George RR Martin deserves the title of God.
In a twinkling of an eye, it will soon be 2017, and my fate with song of ice and fire will be in the 10th year. During this period, it has been unexpectedly adapted into an American drama, which gives me another way to aftertaste and appreciate it. However, the sixth volume of the work, cold wind in winter, has not been finished yet. I will not give up my enthusiasm for this book. If he can write it, I can wait. I hope Mr. Martin will live a long life. I have enough patience to wait for him to finish this excellent work slowly. Finally, I paste the oath of the night watchman organization in the book. Although there are some secondary two students, they are my favorite.
