If his life time, he was seeking the spiritual realm which is as simple as children, having the most real laugh and taint from the crucial reality. He firmly believes that before children grow up, they arc the most

14、 kind-hearted angel.When moved to London, Barrie lived near Kensington Park where he made most of his works. One day, Barrie brushed a new ideal when he saw there were four very cute little boys playing on the grass. They built the castle with branches, the springs and streams as rivers and lakes, w

15、aving tree branches and small props, playing the princes and demons in the fairy talcs. Barrie impressed by their game and was invited to play with them. Endless inspiration as spring-like murmur, Barry described the four children into a life-like fairy talc characters, among them, the most active a

16、nd most rebellious boy Peter becoming the main character Peter Pan. And the name“ Wendy" " John" ” Michael" were from others. Actually, another boy' s encounter was the real reason why Barrie wanted to write this story The boy， s name was Peter, either, who was the only child

17、 of Barrie, s neighbor Davis. "The death of his father in his thirteen was a huge strike to the little boy. He had to shoulder the hit and face the crucial reality quite early, also, the distrust to adults by his father? s death ruined his childhood. Thus he unwillingly became an adult earlier

18、than of the same age/"二 Barrie witnessed the whole thing feeling sad about the little boy, which drove him to create Peter Pan, the never grow up boy.2 Image analysis of main characters2.1 Peter Panthe symbol o£ "eternal childhood”" All children, except one, grow up." J1Thc

19、story begins with this sentence, and from this we call see it laid the value of classic fairv talcs. Therefore, Peter Pan becomes the symbol of “eternal childhood ' . This is not telling readers to resist the natural pattern of growth, on the contrary, is to praise the precious memories in child

20、hood, which is the most beautiful music of life. Children arc the angels to bring happiness and hope to the world.At end of the story, after Wendy brought his brothers and the Lost Boys back to the Darling' s family, “It is sad to have to say that the power to fly gradually left them." n &q

22、" Flying is a symbol. Believing in fairy talcs, believing in Peter Pan, you will able to fly/"的 Like the story says that when people grow up they do not believe fairy vales, they become realistic. So, Peter Pan only exists in people' s mind where they do believe fairy talcs, do trust h

That is to say, when we grow up, we call still believe in fairy talcs in Peter Pan, we should still have innocent souls. aGreat people arc still children no matter how old they arc/

24、uPeter Pan was not an image of refusing to grow up in negative voice; however, he is the symbol of the amazing childhood. ” Even though we arc out of the carefree times, the pure heart and boundless imagination enable us to fly in Peter Pan' s world.2.2 Wendythe image of “motherly love and natur
