本书叙述故事的结构很简单，作者讲述了从自由人变成了奴隶再变成自由人的经历，每一章写得都很感动很易懂，没一章的开头都先将这一章最深入人心的情节和这一章主要的故事经历
作者以自己悲惨的经历，痛述了奴隶制的黑暗，表达了作者以及被压迫的黑人们对自由的强烈渴望。文中处处可以感受到黑人奴隶们的无辜与无奈，正如作者再经历12年的奴隶生活后重获自由，在经历了这一切后，并没有强烈的谩骂、报复曾经伤害他的白人们，12年的生活已经知道所有的谩骂与报复都无法补偿这一切，也知道很难改变太多，这其中有太多的心酸与无奈。就像作者写到，他不想在最后去评判奴隶制，只希望多年后能长眠于父亲所在的墓地。那时对自由最大的渴望吧。作者是幸运的，对于更多生而为奴的黑人同胞们，同时也是不幸的，从一开始的幸福生活落入了12年的奴隶生活。人人生而平等，都有享受自由的权利。那些为一己私利剥夺他人自由的人是恶魔，到恶魔却永远存在着，无论那个时代那个地区。也因此，敢为自由而战的人也一直存在，他们是人类的勇士。所罗门诺萨普，马丁路德金，斯巴达克斯……

影片的开头描述了安静祥和的生活场景：生活在纽约的黑人所罗门诺瑟普是个接受过教育、对人彬彬有礼的自由人，他有着幸福美满的家庭，有着一对听话的子女，漂亮的妻子，在工作方面他是一个专业的才能杰出的小提琴手，凭借着自己的特长与妻儿过着安逸的生活，受到白人们的尊重。然而如此安逸的生活并没有一直持续下去，在一次偶然中所罗门遇到两个白人并以给他提供一个在马戏团伴奏表演的机会为由，把所罗门骗到了华盛顿，而当所罗门到了华盛顿醒来时才发现自己被诱拐绑架了并被当成黑奴所贩卖。
生活开始变得与众不同，所罗门被改名为“普拉特”，一个从乔治亚州逃跑的奴隶。他被特奥菲卢斯·弗里曼卖给了种植园主福特先生。所罗门与福特先生相处融洽。他修建的运输水渠工作效率高，福特先生为了表扬送了他一把小提琴。但是这惹来了木匠约翰·提毕兹的记恨，开始对他恶言相向。提毕兹勾结朋友要对所罗门处以私刑，昏迷的他被福特先生救下。福特先生说他要想活下去，就必须把所罗门卖给埃德蒙·艾普斯。而新主人艾普斯相信虐待奴隶是被圣经所允许的，奉劝他们接受所谓的宿命。他要求每个奴隶每天必须采200磅棉花，否则便会挨打。在这里，所罗门经常遭受鞭打或者看着别人遭受鞭打。所罗门每天能做的只能是努力干活，为了避免更残忍的鞭打。
由于所罗门对自由的向往以及其不懈的努力，终于在成为黑人奴隶的12年后被解救出来，影片中描述到当他被再次回到家里，一切都变了，他的孩子已经从当时的幼童成长为大人并且结婚生子了。整部影片中用了大量的篇幅来描写所罗门在成为黑奴过程中的生活，那段特殊的光景被笼罩上了特殊的色彩，给人呈现出来的是黑人奴隶没有阳光的一生。长镜头与痛苦的结合，这部电影在看似波澜不惊的故事下给人以发人深省的感悟，《为奴十二年》这是一部通过小人物对美国黑奴历史的批判，剧情上或许会让人感觉没有太大的转折和高潮，这是因为这部电影所要在两小时展示的就是那个时代黑人们让人绝望而漫长的苦难。

When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story\'s development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu\'why you be the scapegoat of your father?\' Xu answers \'because he is Chinese.\' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu\'s boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won\'t beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children\'s right. What\'s more, I remember a line \'No one won the case, especially the child.\' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades \'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.\' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says \'I have to follow the procedure.\' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says \'you can\'t fall, your health security is the company paid.\' \'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.\' \'dady, why you come from the window\' \' because we don\'t have a chimney.\' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That\'s my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.

一年一度的奥斯卡颁奖典礼落下帷幕了，在看过报纸、网站上各种大篇幅报道之后，让我对获得最佳影片的电影《为奴十二年》充满了好奇。
电影根据同名自传体小说改编，故事发生在南北战争之前的美国大陆，主人公所罗门本来是生活在纽约州的自由的黑人，有身份、有妻儿、有工作。却被两个自称要为所罗门谋一个马戏团伴奏工作的白人所骗，当他一觉醒来，却发现自己身在华盛顿成为了一名奴隶，没有了名字，没有了身份，也没有了做为人的一切尊严。经过十二年苦不堪言的奴隶生涯，最终得到一个加拿大木匠的帮助，重新获得自由，回到家人身边的故事。
有人说过，看电视剧看的是故事，而看电影看的是意境。看电影不仅要知道讲述了一个怎样的故事，更要感受其中的意境。该电影以浓重沉郁的镜头语言，展现了主人公在身为奴隶的十二年里经历的和看到的一幕幕触目惊心的场景，揭露了奴隶制度的残忍与不人道。
在观看电影的整个过程中，我时刻感受着文化的冲击，在那个黑白分明的世界里，人被明显的分成三六九等，对于当时美国南方的庄园主来说，黑奴是赚钱的工具，是没有人权的私有财产，是可以随意处置的玩具。在无奈的历史车轮里，黑奴们变得越来越麻木不仁，他们失去了反抗的能力，甚至心安理得的接受了奴隶的命运。但电影的主人公没有接受命运的捉弄，他从未停止对平等与自由的向往，他试图逃跑，却发现自己根本逃不出广袤的奴隶主控制的土地，他好不容易写了一封信，却被白人监工告发，他忍痛将信烧毁。
人是生而平等的，一个朴素的真理，对那个年代的人们竟然是如此的困难。主人公追求平等与自由的坚定信念，深深撼动我的内心，也让我深深感受到自己生活的幸福。
