I131. "The arts (painting, music, literature, etc.) reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of society."

I absolutely agree with the speaker's claim that arts reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of society. The arts in particular period of history usually play the role of reflection of the society. This reflection sometimes can be obvious, and also can be intricate. However, if you admit that all the ideas and inspirations of artists’ works are come from the environment, classes and society where they live amidst, it is not difficult for you to make the same conclusion.


There are countless giant artists in history that influenced us by their revolutionary ideas that lighted the people's awareness of their equity, liberty and democrat rights. These ideas are expressed by the form of artistic works; and while affecting the benefits of dominators, they were resisted by ruling class. Whereas, these works, in accordance of benefits of public and social advancement, would lead an irreversible general trend of historical development. The perfect example is "The Last Supper" which is a world-famous painting created by Leonardo da Vinci. Being one of the three giants of the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci paid close attention to the inner emotions and the outer expressions of the figures in his work. This humanism spirit encouraged people to find and appreciate the beauty of human. Hence, I believe arts can reveal the hidden impulses of society.

Likewise, the arts reveal the otherwise hidden ideas as well. Take a look at "Animal farm" which was written by George Orwell, English writer, journalist and social critic. This dystopian allegorical novel foretold that the Soviet Union would fall to pieces. Considering the time when this book first be published, the year of 1945, when Soviet Union, owing most powerful might of military, maybe is the only nation which can compete against the United States of America, people do not place much value on this book. However, this meaningful prediction has been proved by 1991. We should aware that, even the judgment towards communism was not very acceptable at that time, this idea has been revealed by literature. Consequently, I agree with the speaker's statement.

In spite of this, some people may still remain unconvinced; they would argue that, under the pressure given by ruling class, many artists may submit to them and create irreal or ill-founded works. However, to some extent, I believe these works still reflect the conditions of society. For instance, In the preliminary stage of new China, politicalization seriously impaired the literary circle of China. The writers who stuck on their pursuit of accomplished writing skill are usually shunted aside, meanwhile, those who sang the praises of communism have been extolled and rewarded indiscriminately. Thereby, even the writers who submit to politicalization, their works can be taken as evidences of politicalization themselves. In some way, arts still reveal otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of society.

To sum up, arts are the reflection of society; they can reveal our society from any respects. No matter it is the painting, music or literature, even the ways might be varied, they reveal otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of society.

看了一遍觉得你写得很不错。。
不过你果然很怕写结尾，每段和全篇的结尾，几乎是题目的4种重复。不过别的部分写得很不错。
虽然是完全一面倒的issue，但是论证得很严密，光看这个文章，基本上被说服了。虽然讨论的面比较狭窄，主要就是艺术家在统治阶级的“压迫”下表达思想的大背景。不过其实我也曾经这么想过，但是对例子觉得比较不好找。本来思路是找点什么古诗啊，暗语之类的，还想到了达芬奇密码之类的，不过我太懒了，没有真的去找例子。
觉得你例子2很不错。

哈哈，被前辈发现了，一开始写ISSUE就忽视了结尾的重要性，积累得不够，现在才意识到这个问题。没事，晚辈8月11日机考，还有21天！我一定补起来！

George Owell确实蛮牛，新概念四选了他一篇文章，有点意思，就去找了这本动物农庄看，看完觉得没什么，不就是讽刺苏联吗？而且刻画那么露骨，很轻松就把马克思，斯大林等头头脑脑全部都对上了，直到，有一天，人家告诉我这本书早在苏联解体前半个世纪就出版了！！我的天，被震了！印象相当深刻，呵呵~
