SAT經典范文賞析

《阿凡達》Avatar
Ian W. Another example of the majority's opinion leading society astray is in the film Avatar.The James Cameron plot revolves around a group of interstellar miners colonizing a planet to strip it of the rare resource,"unobtanium".Although the mining corporation sees no problems with destroying the primitive natives to obtain the rare resource,the protagonist becomes assimilated in to their culture and gains a sense that the natives are not the savages that the colonists view them as,but are in fact a proud species not too different from ourselves.Had the miners succeeded,a small but noble group would have been annihilated at the hands of the greedy,self-serving majority.

點評：
我的很多學生都喜歡在SAT作文中用電影《阿凡達》來引證，這是為什么呢？因為在所有已上映的影片中，盡管阿凡達被標榜為震撼的3D科幻片，但它卻是一部有著傳統的舊式道德觀的戲劇，正如Ian 清楚地在該段最后一句話中說的那樣："Had the miners succeeded,a small but noble group would have been annihilated at the hands of the greedy,self-serving majority."
