pay attention to

1, with correct and distinct views (arguments). When we comment on a literary work, there is always a basic view: is it good or bad? Is it basically good and has shortcomings, or is it basically bad but still has some merits? This basic point of view is the central point of the article, which must be correct and distinct.

2. There must be accurate, sufficient and convincing arguments. The arguments of literary criticism should mainly be found in the characters, plots and artistic descriptions of the works, that is to say, the characters, story plots, artistic descriptions and language use of the works should be analyzed in detail.

In order to quote enough materials to illustrate their arguments as arguments. These arguments must be accurate and reliable, not to be taken for granted, not to be misinterpreted or even taken out of context, so that they are inferior to the rest.

3. Scientific logical reasoning methods should be used. Whether to use induction, deduction or analogy should be carefully considered. Moreover, whether to write an argumentative essay or a rebuttal comment needs to be determined according to the purpose of writing, starting from the reality of the work and starting from the needs of readers.

4. Have the contemporary consciousness of literary criticism, and be able to write according to the laws and characteristics of literature in combination with work practice. We must use the knowledge of literary theory, literary history, aesthetics, linguistics and rhetoric to analyze specific works. Otherwise, if such comments are unprofessional in the article or make unrealistic demands on literary and artistic works, it will certainly be difficult to convince people.
