| Popis: | 97 People who live in Taiwan almost have experiences of earthquakes, and 921 Earthquake is the most impressed one through these years. This island was attacked strongly as well as people in Taiwan witnessed the destructive power of the nature. The destruction on this island needs to be rebuilt, and people’s pain and sorrow need to be consoled. Therefore, the researcher considers that the theme of earthquake cannot be ignored in Taiwan juvenile novels. In Taiwan juvenile novels, there is very less study about 921 Earthquake, however. The earthquake description is such an important topic. For this reason, the theme of this research is decided. In this research, there are seven Taiwan juvenile novels being selected, which are written about 921 Earthquake. They are analyzed and compared in sociological viewpoint to investigate the expression way of earthquake description. And then, this expression way is also being compared with the presenting skill of the earthquake movie. After the deeply exploration, the part following then is the conclusion and suggestions. 1. Each of the juvenile novels in this research lays special emphasis on different and various descriptions. 2. No matter which emphasis in these novels, the authors are thoroughly considered, besides the part of beforehand warning of earthquakes are less mentioned. 3. It is interesting to contrast the strong moved of the movie and the deep, far touched of the novels. Thus, combing these two different expression ways would acquire the most complete learning experience. 4. In the novels, they usually show much lighter viewpoints rather than the dark reality, which cannot be lost in real life. Therefore, it would be better to connect the stories with the reality in the future. 5. The characters, the plots, the processes, and the clues in these novels are too simple to be well thought-out for teenage readers. This is the problem, which is worth considered. 6. In these novels, the main characters are not disabled. However, in real life, disabled victims are not minority. Thus, how could they overcome various problems in their life after earthquakes is also worth discussed. 7. The researcher suggests that this theme can be developed continuously for dramas, teleplays, and movies in the future. In sum, the earthquake description in Taiwan juvenile novels presents that as long as we have confidence, the broken pieces still can be repaired by our “love” and “hope”, and finally rebuilt a whole new world. |
