How to write a cartoon composition
First, writing teaching with comics as the theme.

It has been 10 years since the comic composition of the college entrance examination left us. Today, we must pay enough attention to the problem-solving composition.

So, how to write a cartoon composition?

Comics, as the topic of composition, provide pictures as the material, so compared with the topic composition with words as the material, it increases the difficulty of "reading pictures" and the freedom, that is, in terms of "optional style", there are two more styles-literary criticism and picture description. In addition, because of the image of the cartoon itself, it provides perceptual materials for association and imagination, and makes association and imagination have a vivid image foundation.

The following four steps should be paid attention to in writing training with cartoons as the topic.

1, understand the meaning of painting. Learn to observe and carefully examine the pictures, including the title text.

Looking at pictures is a thinking process from image to essence, so it is very important to grasp them in general. At the same time, we should pay attention to the characteristics of cartoon expression. First of all, we should understand the meaning of the picture from the outside to the inside.

Because comics are vivid essays, daggers and spears that criticize the shortcomings of the times, or short poems and chapters that eulogize new life, we should carefully analyze the trend and significance of the picture and outside the picture in combination with words such as painting questions. The title of this cartoon of Zhao Guoming is "First Aid". The picture shows two people carrying a doctor to the "Conscience Rescue Room" in a hurry, and the doctor shouted with his mouth open. From this, we believe that, generally speaking, doctors who treat people know whether their bodies are sick or not, and if they are, they will automatically treat people. If you ask him if his conscience is ill, it may be difficult to make it clear. If further tortured, is there a history of being unkind to patients, a bad record of accepting red envelopes, and recognition that money is the right to be close? If you ask, the doctor may take it orally. Willingly accepted the diagnosis and treatment of conscience hospital and the trial of moral court. Similarly, generally speaking, cartoons satirize not only doctors, officials, businessmen, teachers, but even the elderly and young people. I am worried that, like this doctor, some people will not find out that they are sick, or even if they do, they are afraid to seek medical treatment.

Because cartoons often reflect real life, they are often the hot spots and focuses we face. Satire in cartoons is not uncommon around us. Some government workers never do their duty for the people, so it is difficult to get in and their faces are ugly. What is difficult is their portraits. Some businessmen are shoddy, cheating and doing everything they can. Some teachers regard students as their cash cows, apportion teaching materials and get kickbacks from them. Run all kinds of cram schools under various pretexts. Some children abuse the elderly and do not bear the obligation to support their parents. Wait, wait. The main reason for these disharmonies with society is that some people don't know that their conscience has changed. For example:

This is a satirical cartoon. The main part of this painting is the skeleton of two goats, which are leaning against each other in the middle of a wooden bridge on a small river. Although both of them lost their lives and became skeletons, neither side would give in. The moral of this painting is obviously not to satirize the two goats' intransigence, but its deeper connotation needs to be carefully understood in connection with social reality.

We can also use our own question method to understand the meaning of painting. In view of the cartoon above, we can think: ① Why are the two goat skeletons on the wooden bridge like this? ② Why does this cartoon draw a goat skeleton instead of a live goat? (3) Which fable is this painting related to in ancient China? What is the difference? (4) What are their emotions and attitudes from the opposing sides?

Only by understanding the meaning of painting and clarifying the purpose of painting can the topic composition not deviate from the topic.

2. Grasp the image characteristics.

Grasping the image characteristics of comics is to try to figure out the image of the protagonist in comics and understand its essence.

This is a humorous painting. A big balloon is hanging in the air with a rope around it. One person at each end of the rope grabbed the rope to keep balance. They are closely related, life and death. But one of them actually took scissors and tried to cut the rope that the other person grabbed ... Scissorhands is the protagonist, and rich philosophy is in his actions. In an emergency, he can't get along with others, and the result is of course to harm others and himself. If the big ball in the cartoon is regarded as the earth where human beings live, then human beings and even any living things on the earth are * * * life forms, and * * * together form a biosphere to maintain each other, which is a kind of loss and a kind of glory. If humans destroy the ecological balance, they will also reap the consequences.

By grasping the characteristics and essence, we can successfully find the writing materials and work out the layout.

3. Expand association and imagination. Connecting reality from one place to another. Learn to find the connection between things, connect with social reality, associate as required, and write comprehensively.

Fang Cheng, a cartoonist, pointed out in the article "The Art of Comics": "Comics are funny paintings, but also critical paintings to express opinions ..." Using the humor of comics to make people laugh, let people who look at the paintings understand the meaning of laughter. So when you "laugh", you definitely don't "laugh" at the cartoon itself, but relate it to similar things in life. Therefore, comic composition is associative and imaginary.

In the sense of painting, we can think that some people have a few drops of ink in their stomachs or a little "skill", so they claim to be know-it-all, regardless of the differences of objective things, and everything is cured by one method and one medicine, with ridiculous and generous results; Some people are in leadership positions, but they think they have rich experience for many years, and they use "old experience" to deal with new problems, which has caused great losses to the country and the people. We can also think of "carving a boat for a sword" and "following the table at night", and think of Mr. Lu Xun's words: "The present situation is irrefutable evidence, much more powerful than ancient books." The era of summer vacation in autumn has passed, and in the tide of reform in the new century.

Through association and imagination, we can not only get a lot of writing materials, but also deepen our understanding of this painting.

4. After docking with reality, consider how to organize the article.

Comic composition, in the final analysis, requires us to use analogy to compare the ironic content of the picture with real life layer by layer, or to narrate or reason. First, find the point of analogy. "Point" is the center. The point of the article is that people who have lost their conscience must be treated with drugs. We can't escape medical treatment. Secondly, let's start an analogy. "Face" is order. This paper can compare the contents of cartoons with the phenomena of life, the essence revealed by cartoons with the souls of some people in life, and the ideological roots of doctors avoiding medical treatment in cartoons with those of some people in today's society. Thirdly, we return to the purpose of analogy. "Purpose" refers to the theme of the cartoon and the center of the article. No matter what style we choose, our heart is to save our conscience as soon as possible.

Determine the content and style

The composition with cartoon as the topic has a broad writing space, which can give full play to the writer's intelligence and expertise. Due to the expansion of freedom, it is easy to cause the problems of disorganized writing, unclear center and vague style, so the writer must determine the content and style suitable for his own experience and writing ability. The picture below is Crossing the River, which is actually a mockery of some so-called "image projects" in name only.

If you write an expository article, you should take the cartoon itself as the content of the composition, introduce the cartoon in detail in a certain explanation order, and use various explanation methods. To write an imaginary article, we should take the scene reflected in the cartoon as the basis, take "building a bridge" or "crossing the river" as the clue, add characters through imagination, determine the plot, including the scenes before and after the scenes shown in the cartoon, and write a literary review to analyze the expression techniques of the cartoon and evaluate its advantages and disadvantages. To write ideological review, we should contact the formalism phenomenon existing in society, quote the arguments against formalism in authoritative works, and point out its essence and harmfulness. If you write a narrative on the theme of comics, you should choose materials different from the content of comics to show the same intention as painting. We can also write scripts, cross talks, fables, fairy tales and poems with the same topic (painting themes).

In short, the selection of materials and style should foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and the writing should be concentrated in content and distinctive in style.

Readers can choose a cartoon cited in this article for writing training, and write an article with more than 800 words on this topic, regardless of style.

Second, the model essay shows that

What can save you-conscience

"Xiu Yuan has a long way to go, and I will go up and down for it" is Qu Yuan's cry to find a conscience for the nation; "Worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later" is the realm for Fan Zhongyan to enrich his conscience. It is Du Fu's release of self-esteem and human conscience that "there are thousands of spacious buildings in Qian Qian, which greatly protect the poor in the world."

What can I do to save you-conscience?

In order to save you, you should know that your conscience is sick. Being a person with a conscience is the minimum criterion of today's people and the bottom line of harmonious interpersonal relationships. Wang Huaizhong begged him to live before he was executed, because he didn't know that his conscience was bad. He doesn't know that once his conscience is broken and his soul is rotten, even if he is alive, it can only be common sense of walking dead. Ma Jiajue brutally murdered four roommates. He even tried to escape the severe punishment of the law. In his words with his family, he showed remorse for the loss of conscience. Countless facts show that to be an upright person, we must first understand whether our conscience is sick.

We can imagine that if Wang Huaizhong had known that his conscience was sick, he might not have gone further and further on the road of crime; If Ma Jiajue knew there was something wrong with his conscience, he might not be so cruel to his classmates. If they often reflect on themselves, they may find that their conscience is gradually losing.

To save you, it is more important to find timely and timely treatment. Confucius said, "Save me three times a day." Lu Xun advocates that you should dissect yourself strictly. What you said is to check yourself in time to see if there is any pathological change in your conscience. If you are ill, you must treat your heart with medicine. Timely treatment can prevent problems before they happen. If you are as afraid of medical treatment as Cai Huangong, you will not only lose your conscience, but also end your own life. A man like that doctor may not know that he is seriously ill, so he shouts that he is not ill. Maybe he is stubborn and bent on harming others. People may still remember the fake wine case in Shanxi and the fake drug case in Heilongjiang, which makes good people shudder every time they mention it. For their own interests, regardless of the safety of others, they are doing things that harm others and benefit themselves unscrupulously. They are like insects and ants that burst their banks, like black sheep.

Heidegger said: Conscience is an unavoidable "voice call". To save conscience, we must find it early and treat it in time. Only in this way can it never go bad. Only in this way will there be fewer and fewer factors that are not harmonious with society.

To save you, you have to save yourself and others. Some people say, "We can't save the whole world by ourselves, but we can save our conscience." When there are dark clouds in the clear sky, we shouldn't blame them for lawlessness. When poisonous weeds are born in the flowers, we should not resent it for occupying the nest; When there is an ant nest in the dam, we don't have to scold it for being invulnerable. What is needed at this time is that we should check whether our conscience is broken. When calling for saving others' conscience, we should first save our own conscience. Only when we consciously reflect on ourselves can we confidently ask others to reflect and dissect ourselves consciously, and we can justly ask others to dissect mercilessly. When blaming others for their own destruction, we must first be brave; When you blame others for forgetting profits, you should not be greedy at first.

"Despicability is the passport of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble." The remedy to save conscience is human morality, civic morality and socialist concept of honor and disgrace. If there are fewer and fewer people like that doctor, we will have a world with blue sky and blue sea.

[Analysis] This is an exam composition: the author extracts the center of saving conscience from comics, and can gain insight into the world and connect with reality. This paper analyzes the causes of crimes in Wang Huaizhong and Ma Jiajue, and the root causes of the cases of fake wine in Shaanxi and fake drugs in Heilongjiang. What is outstanding is that around the center, from introspection to treatment, from self-help to saving people, we can see the depth of the article step by step; Second, the style of writing is novel and lively, and the use of rhetorical devices such as quotation, metaphor, duality and repetition adds a lot of color to conventional argumentative essays.

Third, comic problem-solving methods and exercises

1、

Analysis: For example, in the cartoon above, a puppy is desperately chasing the bone in front, and the driver below is driving his car happily, with the words "no fuel car" written next to it. This is the main content of this cartoon.

After analyzing the three contents of the whole picture (puppy, driver and topic), we can link them together and think about the relationship between the puppy and people and the meaning behind the topic. We can start with the analysis that puppies can't resist the temptation of bones being used. It can also be analyzed from a human perspective. For example, if we want to achieve something, we must dig our brains and try our best to achieve our goals. It can also be understood that we should protect the environment, save energy and make use of all available resources.

According to observation, analysis and thinking, we can extract the theme of comics, and choose and determine the starting point of comic topics in combination with our own lives. For example, we should resist all temptations and not be used by others.
