美国申请文书范文解析：开头

第1段：Introduce symbol item #1

Growing up in Hefei with different renters in mygrandparents’house,I received my first jigsaw puzzle from a stranger on the first floor. The puzzle featured an image of a luxuriant sycamore tree.I spent hours planning and locking each piece into the right spot to depict the same leaves and trunk again and again while listening to the rambling tenants.e

从儿时如何获得第一个象征物-拼图开始写起，虽然是很简单的背景介绍，但是要注意到开头就做得很到位的情景铺设：无论是拼图的拼凑过程，拼图的图案，还是在拼拼图时的周围环境，用很简单的几句描写就建构起了一个很有代入感的画面，能够从最开始就很好的engage读者。其实大家继续往后看会注意到，我们这篇文章在情景描写方面做得一直都很优秀。

第2段：Raising problems

Due to my satisfaction of seeing every piece falling into placethe sycamore tree jigsaw puzzle was the only thing Itook with me to Jiangvin. On the first day ofschooI watched classmates around me hastily head toward difterent clubs and activities.I stood frozen in the hallway,holding onto the club recruitment form.The unpredicted outcome of my club choice unsettled me like a living frog being dropped in boiling water.Looking aroundthe other students seemed to have a sense of their future direction,smiling vivaciously like that sycamore tree in my iigsaw puzzle. Against school policy I eventually refused to join anyafraid that I might squander effort on one I hated.

这里同样做了很多的细节描写，从同学的踊跃参与到自己的不知所措，美国申请文书范文中对这种对立情景的描绘能够使读者更好的带入作者的视角和感觉。同时运用了一些比喻的描写手法，将自己比作被扔进开水中的青蛙，这都是非常好的尝试。这一段的最后recall了自己的象征物拼图，为下一段解释象征物做铺垫。

第3段：Explanation

Since primary school,the only thing that could comfort me was my jigsaw puzzle.Over the years pieces of my jigsaw puzzle still connected the same way to depict the sycamore tree.Playing it,I would dream of having found my destined passion-letting my life settle in the right places and form my bigger picture.I kept waiting,but nothing significant ever arrived to light up my life.

第三段就是解释象征物，同时建立象征物同自己的联系：拼图代表每一块都有确定的位置，不容错漏。由于自己对拼拼图的执念，自己也希望一切都能按正确的方式被安排。这里也解释了上文不去参加社团的原因，害怕拼错了自己的拼图，错误安排了自己的人生导致白费力气。到这里为止，作者第一阶段的经历就介绍完了，经历和象征物拼图的联系也解释清楚了。

第二个象征物

美国申请文书范文接下来的这三段，就是第二个象征物带来的作者第二阶段的认识和行动。

第四段：Introduce symbol item #2

My parents gave me a tangram puzzle set on my first birthday of junior high. To my shockthe tangram puzzle was composed of only seven colorful pieces.They didn’t seem to have a fixed assigned position or a specified picture Moving the pieces here and thereI could no longer strategize before creating the image Surprised at the sudden moments when I saw a bird or a house in this tangram puzzle,I quickly became obsessed with it and the uncertainty.<

第二部分的第一段，也就是全文的第四段，这里做得其实是象征物②——七巧板的引入：我们可以看到这一段在叙事上非常简单明快，快速引入了第二个象征物并阐明了这个象征物上附着的特质。这里的简写是之前已经用了大量内容引入拼图这个象征物，读者已经可以理解这种思维模式。

第五段：Explanation

While playing the tangram puzzle, my obsession with finding my one passion and my stubborn stagnation both began to seem absurd and naive.Life would never really have a perfect solution like my jigsaw puzzle; I couldn’t plan it before creating it-I had to create it by living like the random arrangements on my tangram puzzle.My tunnel vision to finding the right passion was deteriorating evervthing in myfeI faced a new desire to trulv experience my future without hesitation at new opportunities.

解释七巧板和自己的联系：这里还做了对旧有认识的反思，同时随着新的象征物提出了新的认识：和七巧板一样，人生不止一种组合方式，我们也不能在做事之前先计划所有的事情。因此我学会了livingthe random arrangements & embrace new opportunities.

第六段：Raising newactions

I started to volunteer at local museums, spending my days on kids’smile.I gradually felt more comfortable talking with strangers, and indulged in the excitement ofexchanging knowledge.I also tried diving-the huge pain of my eardrum due to water pressure.Coral reefs and thousands of clown fish were as beautiful as those in my dream with unexpected garbage. revealing me a serious environmental issue.I took an attempt on writing articles on black bodies and star systems, which made me see the beauty of scientific writing.Positive feedback from competitions further nurtured my passion in physics. All these experiences promoted me to notice the plasticity ofmy enthusiasm-shaped by my life and shaping my life at the
same time.No image on the tangram puzzle was destined to show up and no pertect path had been assioned to me. Once
terrified ofcomplete control over mylife and hvpothetical wrong outcomes.Itruly started to appreciate my life’s possibilities.

介绍第二段这个新的认识带来的新的影响。这一段使用很简明的描写快速带过了几个活动（博物馆志愿者，海洋垃圾清理，科学写作，和对物理专业的探索）

同时作者在段尾进行了一个下沉式的总结：thereis no perfect path, 在放弃了对完全控制自己生活的这种追求之后，我学会了欣赏人生的无数种可能。

开放式结尾

美国申请文书范文解析

这篇美国申请文书范文的结尾没有做一个进一步的升华和总结，只是简单的写到自己去参加了一个新的活动。仍然是惯用的那种简洁的描述式语言带过活动的内容，也带出专业兴趣。结尾开放式的描写holding my tangram puzzle as if holding my future,是一种留白的尝试。没有重复地再次强调我会在以后继续如何如何努力，因为读者已经可以明白作者的想法，也会期待作者未来的无限可能。
看到这里相信大家已经对蒙太奇叙事手法已经有了一定了解，请注意它和普通的叙事手法不同之处：蒙太奇叙述的叙事线不局限在某个单一活动的经历。

因此，如何围绕主线体现你自身的内在转变和成长历程、选择怎样的象征物才能锦上添花、增强文章可读性才是难点！如果想进一步了解写作技巧，2027er专属的文书营也正在火热招生中，教你写文书，更教你怎么申请，点击这里即可咨询——
