The Cop and the Anthem
The key word:Cop/vagrant/crime/prison/winter/arrested.The Cop and the Anthem is one of O.Henry's representative works.This novel describes a vagrant who is jobless, homeless and commits crime on purpose so that he can be put into prison in winter.However,things don't goes as he expected.But when he makes up his mind to give up evil and return to good, he is arrested.Based on the whole text, the author's humor is present in various ways, one of which is through irrationality during the development of plots.soap, the vagrant who has stirred up trouble for six times, is eager to go to prison.But he is always out of luck and get policeman's forgiveness.When soap is touched by the anthem and wants to be a good citizen, he is arrested for groundless reasons.This way is a kind of black humor manifesting social reality profoundly.We can see something gloomy, desperate,but simultaneously, we can't help laughing when reading the vivid description.Once, soap wants to reach his goal by molesting a woman, soap straightened the lady missionary’s ready-made tie, dragged his shrinking cuffs into the open, set his hat at a killing cant and sidled toward the young women.but the seeming virtuous and quiet woman begin to seduce him in reverse.“Sure, Mike,” she said joyfully, “if you’ll blow me to a pail of suds.I’d have spoke to you sooner, but the cop was watching.”With the young woman playing the clinging ivy to his oak soap.Besides, soap steals an umbrella from a neatly dressed customer, but the umbrella is ill-gotten originally.''Of course,''said the umbrella man''that is—well, you know how these mistakes occur—I—if it’s your umbrella I hope you’ll excuse me—I picked it up this morning in a restaurant—If you recognise it as yours, why—I hope you’ll.So the
modest and lady and gentleman turn out to be someone that we cannot imagine, which is not rational.Nonetheless, as a matter of fact, they just hide their dirty acts under a beautiful veil and a small sign can indicate a great trend, we can learn that the so-called noble upper class goes more serious than the two.These plots reveals awful mood of that capitalist society.In addition, the conflict between the irrationality of Soap's behavior and the rationality of the cop's judgment is one of the important reasons for Soap's “misfortune”.For example, soap breaks the glass and wait for the policeman to come and arrest him, but the cop reckons that a man who commits evil won't sit and wait for arrest, men who smash windows do not remain to parley with the law’s minions then he excludes soap.Besides, he wants to break the peace by virtue of kicking up a fuss in the street, identically, the cop deems that only college students dare to be so unbridled and boisterous''Tis one of them Yale lads celebrate’ the goose egg they give to the Hartford College.Noisy;but no harm.We have instructions to lave them be.His abnormal conducts is determined by his distorted mentality, which exactly reflects torture and agony both in life and mind oft he low-class.When the poor guy intends to do good the moment he is moved and inspired, the cop believes a vagrant will never something to do with the quiet atmosphere around a church, the soft lamplight and the touching music.Consequently, soap is caught unexpectedly.“What are you doing here?” asked the officer.''Nothing,'' said soap''Then come along.''said the policeman.''Three months on the Island.'' said the Magistrate in the Police Court the next morning..It is the accident that mirrors confusion of truth and falsehood, black and wright.Needless to say,there are many ways to represent humor, they have one thing in common--where there is humor, there is specific implication.The writing style of the author is humorous, the disclosure of the society is deepgoing, the reflective life and mental distress are mirky.O.Henry uses a quantity of comparison and humor to fully display the character's wretched fate and cruelty of capitalist society.About The Author

T
Based on the whole text, the author's humor is present in various ways, one of
which is through irrationality during the development of plots.Soapy, the vagrant who has stirred up trouble for six times, is eager to go to prison.But he is always out of luck and get policeman's forgiveness.When Soapy is touched by the anthem and wants to be a good citizen, he is arrested for groundless reasons.This way is a kind of black humor manifesting social reality profoundly.We can see something gloomy, desperate,but simultaneously, we can't help laughing when reading the vivid description.Once, Soapy wants to reach his goal by molesting a woman, Soapy
straightened the lady missionary’s ready-made tie, dragged his shrinking cuffs into
the open, set his hat at a killing cant and sidled toward the young women(20).but
the seeming virtuous and quiet woman begin to seduce him in reverse.“Sure,Mike,” she said joyfully, “if you’ll blow me to a pail of suds.I’d have spoke to you
sooner, but the cop was watching.”With the young woman playing the clinging ivy
to his oak Soapy(22).Besides, Soapy steals an umbrella from a neatly dressed
customer, but the umbrella is ill-gotten originally.''Of course,''said the umbrella

man''that is—well, you know how these mistakes occur—I—if it’s your umbrella I
hope you’ll excuse me—I picked it up this morning in a restaurant—If you recognise
it as yours, why—I hope you’ll—''(31).So the modest and lady and gentleman turn
out to be someone that we cannot imagine, which is not rational.Nonetheless, as a
matter of fact, they just hide their dirty acts under a beautiful veil and a small sign
can indicate a great trend, we can learn that the so-called noble upper class goes
more serious than the two.These plots reveals awful mood of that capitalist society.In addition, the conflict between the irrationality of Soapy's behavior and the
rationality of the cop's judgment is one of the important reasons for Soapy's
“misfortune”.For example, Soapy breaks the glass and wait for the policeman to
come and arrest him, but the cop reckons that a man who commits evil won't sit
and wait for arrest, men who smash windows do not remain to parley with the
law’s minions then he excludes Soapy.Besides, he wants to break the peace by
virtue of kicking up a fuss in the street, identically, the cop deems that only
college students dare to be so unbridled and boisterous''Tis one of them Yale lads
celebratin’ the goose egg they give to the Hartford College.Noisy;but no harm.We’ve instructions to lave them be.''(25).His abnormal conducts is determined by
his distorted mentality, which exactly reflects torture and agony both in life and
mind oft he low-class.When the poor guy intends to do good the moment he is

the quiet atmosphere around a church, the soft lamplight and the touching music.Consequently, Soapy is caught unexpectedly.“What are you doin’ here?” asked
the officer.''Nothing,'' said Soapy(42).''Then come along.''said the

第三篇：《警察与赞美诗》读后感
《警察与赞美诗》读后感-------------------再不说放弃
每一次读欧亨利先生的小说，终会为故事的曲折回荡所折服，为世界的百态众生而慨叹。正如很多人所说的，如果把他的小说作为一场“戏剧”对编剧而言，是个绝佳的情节；对观众而言，算是对得起一张入场票。
小说来源现实，在读者的眼中绽放，凸显它刻画的一切。先生通过短短的篇章，小小的故事，妙笔生花，在人们的心门上叩出无味人生。
有人说《警察与赞美诗》诉诸的是人生中的机遇问题。遇到却不把握，是蠢材；不遇机遇却懂得把握，是人才；既遇机遇又懂得把握，是天才。那么理所当然，索比上演了一个无知的不知悔过遭人唾弃的小丑，背负起那个时代下芸芸众生相悖于正义和常理的渣滓。不值得同情。而赞美诗的结局便成了点睛般的反衬。当他惊恐地醒悟到自己已经坠入了深渊，堕落的岁月。可耻的欲念，悲观失望，才穷智竭，动机卑鄙变原形毕露。
有人说这是上帝在作祟。索比是这篇小说中的主人公，穷困潦倒，衣不蔽体，他为了进监狱过一个温暖的冬天而故意犯罪，惹是生非多达六次，竟没能达到目的，后来想改邪归正之时，警察却逮捕了他，仿佛是上帝和他开的一个玩笑。上帝很公平，很大方吗？对于索比来说，当他真正想要努力
去做的时候，上帝偏偏又开始吝啬了，反悔了，赖皮了。这里我不禁想起了昆德拉先生所说的，人类一思考，上帝就发笑。在我而言，索比也只是和阿Q的影子罢了。所不同的，是他们的命运，相处两个国度下的命运，两者都是杯具，而后者多少有些上帝和主人公开了一个小小的玩笑的意味了。还有人说小说接索比的故事讽刺了那个社会。在哪个到处崇尚自由民主的国度中，却终因金钱模糊了正义而纯洁的价值观。“那警察急匆匆地跑去馋一位穿晚礼服的金发高个女士过马路，免得它在两条街以外朝这边驶过来的电车撞着。”警察并不关注苏比与“伞主人”的争执，而去帮助一些或许根本就不需要帮助的人。正是说明了这一点。甚至于在索比丢下第一块石头时，警察惯性的思维讲索比的“梦想”丢在一边，警察的观点代表了那个和谐社会的想法，一切顺理成章。然而当苏比最后在赞美诗的意境中醍醐灌顶，一股强烈的冲动激励着他去向坎坷的命运奋斗的时候，警察却留意了他。这就是不公平给予他的。也正是欧亨利所讽刺的哪个可笑的世界。在那个世界，不公平不仅仅来源于金钱，还来源于社会地位。索比便是那个世界下最为普通的小小的一员，他用他的思想和觉悟，用他笨拙的行为为世界留下淡淡的一笔。然而我想说的，如今我们也在提倡和谐社会，可至今也许只是空有架子，人们看不到和谐，阿Q思想和索比精神仍然存在，更多的人看不到春天的美好。和谐，和谐，我们需
要做的还有很多。欧亨利先生将这一切告诉众人，便是警示众人，至此，我们努力摒弃那些可笑的观念，慢慢感化这个世界，未来，总是美好的吧。
第四篇：警察与赞美诗读后感
《警察和赞美诗》讲的是流浪汉苏比为了度过冬天，而想方设法进入监狱过冬，警察与赞美诗读后感。但他始终未能如愿，总是发生各种情况使他进不了监狱，当他在教堂听到有人在唱赞美诗时，他突然想要出新做人，当他正准备去找工作的时候，警察逮捕了他，法官判他到监狱服刑三个月。
小说中写道：他可以去的地方多的是……可是对苏比这种性格高傲的人来说，慈善的恩赐是行不通的。他没有工作，更没有生活经济来源，而又不要别人的恩赐，我想一个人有他这样的想法很好，很自立的想法，但也要分什么时候，在没有自立能力的时候这种想法还是算了吧，就像一个刚破壳而出的小鸟，走道还不利索，就要展翅飞翔，那最终的结果必然是“假令风歇时下来，必然摔个大屁敦。”
所以苏比这种人就是典型的“眼高手低”。
世界之大，无奇不有。现实生活中也不乏“苏比”。我在网上看到一则新闻：说一个将近七旬的老太太，无儿无女，每月只靠低保金度日，自称两月没吃肉了，竟拿着刀在火车站持刀公然抢劫。进监狱后，老太太面对记者的镜头很开心，说自己最近长了10斤称。
这还不是个别案例，据说还有一位40多岁的人故意犯罪，就为免费治疗他的腿伤。监狱何时成为收留所？这也说明，现今的社会体系中，老百姓生活质量大大提高，但实际上，穷人还是有的。当然，这并不是党和政府的错误，哪个国家没有几个穷人，那美国还有贫民窟呢。但我想，政府应给对这类“苏比”提供些帮助，比如多建些收容所，或帮他们找些工作。
转回正题，《警察和赞美诗》也讲了一个道理：机遇是不等人的，也许，当你错过后，他还跟着你，但当你回头后，它便离开了。

不可否认，机遇是不等人的，它不是被动的，不会等着你去分析这，分析那，考虑这，考虑那等一系列琐碎的事件后，再决定去做。或许它本身就是个稍纵即逝的“精灵”，它考验的是我们的勇气与胆量，智慧与灵魂。但也不是说，所有的事都不应该经过深思熟虑，周密安妥的进行，如果是这样，那么我们与远古时代又有何分别？ 当然机遇也是需要珍惜的，需要好好利用的，碰到机遇已经是很“困难”的，要充分地彻底地去利用，却是“难上加难”。怎样去更好地“完善”它，是个重点。
那位pol.ice，不是已经给了索比多次机会吗？而索比并没有为此去认识到什么，只是一味地无休止地不停地为着他心中所谓的“目标”继续扮演着生命的“小丑”，乐此不疲。而幸运的他，总在“舞台”上有写“失足”，但终究被当作“笑料”，一笑置之。
一场“戏剧”的结束，意味着另一场“戏剧”的开演。对pol.ice而言，只是去例行公事；对读者而言，只是将近结尾；对生活而言，只是个小插曲；对编剧而言，是个不错的情节；对观众而言，只是对得起一张票；对索比而言，是对生命的新想法地靠近，是为他先前的“无知”付出的代价，是为他不懂的珍惜从他手中逃脱，也许可以扭转他命运的“机遇”而对其藐视所得到的教训的最终结果。
