阅读孙犁的散文《织席记》,结合作品,写一篇不少于600字的评论文章。 要求:(1)简要阐述作品的主题思想。 (2)简要分析作品的艺术特色。 (3)观点鲜明、分析细致、条理清楚、语言通顺、书写整洁。(20分) (附孙犁《织席记》原文) 织席记 孙犁 真是一方水土养一方人。我从南几县走过来,在蠡县、高阳,到处是纺线、织布。每逢集日,寒冷的早晨,大街上还冷冷清清的时候,那线子市里已经挤满了妇女。她们怀抱着一集纺好的线子,从家里赶来,霜雪粘在她们的头发上。她们挤在那里,急急卖出自己的线子,买回棉花;赚下的钱,再买些吃食零用,就又匆匆忙忙回家去了。回家路上的太阳才融化了她们头上的霜雪。 到端村。集日那天,我先到了席市上。这和高、蠡一带的线子市,真是异曲同工。妇女们从家里把席一捆捆背来,并排放下。她们对于卖出成品,也是那么急迫,甚至有很多老太太,在乞求似地招唤着席贩子:“看我这个来呀,你过来呀!” 她们是急于卖出席,再到苇市去买苇。这样,今天她们就可解好苇,甚至轧出眉子,好赶织下集的席。时间就是衣食,劳动是紧张的,她们的热情的希望永远在劳动里旋转着。 在集市里充满热情的叫喊、争论。而解苇、轧眉子,则多在清晨和月夜进行。在这里,几乎每个妇女都参加了劳动。 那些女孩子们,相貌端庄地坐在门前,从事劳作。 这里的房子这样低、挤、残破。但从里面走出来的妇女、孩子们却生的那么俊,穿的也很干净。普遍的终日的劳作,是这里妇女可亲爱的特点。她们穿的那么讲究,在门前推送着沉重的石砘子。她们的花鞋残破,因为她们要经常在苇子上来回践踏,要在泥水里走路。 她们,本质上是贫苦的人。也许她们劳动是希望着一件花布褂,但她们是这样辛勤的劳动人民的后代。 在一片烧毁了的典当铺的广场上,围坐着十几个女孩子,她们坐在席上,垫着一小块棉褥。她们晒着太阳,编着歌儿唱着。她们只十二三岁,每人每天可以织一领丈席。劳动原来就是集体的,集体劳动才有乐趣,才有效率,女孩子们纺线愿意在一起,织席也愿意在一起。问到她们的生活,她们说现在是享福的日子。 生活史上的大创伤是敌人在炮楼“戳”着的时候,提起来,她们就黯然失色,连说不能提了,不能提了。那个时候,是“掘地梨”(注:地梨,多年生草本植物,根茎可食用)的时候,是端村街上一天就要饿死十几条人命的时候。 敌人决堤放了水,两年没收成,抓夫杀人,男人也求生不得。敌人统制了苇席,低价强收,站在家里等着,织成就抢去,不管你死活。 一个女孩子说:“织成一个席,还不能点火做饭!”还要在冰凌里,用两只手去挖地梨。 她们说:“敌人如果再呆一年,端村街上就没有人了!”那天,一个放鸭子的也对我说:“敌人如果再呆一年,白洋淀就没有鸭子了!” 她们是绝处逢生。对敌人的仇恨长在。对民主政府扶植苇席业,也分外感激。公家商店高价收买席子,并代她们开辟销路,她们的收获很大。 生活上的最大变化,还是去年分得了苇田。过去,端村街上,只有几家地主有苇。他们可以高价卖苇,贱价收席,践踏着人民的劳动。每逢春天,穷人流血流汗帮地主去上泥,因此他家的苇子才长的那么高。可是到了年关,穷人过不去,二百户穷人,到地主家哀告,过了好半天,才看见在钱板上端出短短的两戳铜子来。她们常常提说这件事!她们对地主的剥削的仇恨长在。这样,对于今天的光景,就特别珍重。 1947年3月(选自《白洋淀纪事》)
