Guidelines on preparing the lesson "Ai đã đặt tên cho dòng sông"

(including answers to textbook questions)

1. Structure

The work is divided into 2 parts:

- Part 1. From the beginning to the segment “ … chung tình với quê hương xứ sở ”: The journey and beauty of the Perfume River.

- Part 2. The remaining part: Perfume River to the river of cultural history and poetry.

2. In the author's perception, how is the Perfume River's connection with the city of Hue depicted? Analyze some images and details that illustrate this special relationship.

Details and images:

+ Among the beautiful rivers in various countries that I often hear about, it seems only the Perfume River belongs to a single city.

+ The Perfume River continuously changes course, like a conscious love reaching the future meeting place of its city.

+ Facing Hue, the Perfume River doesn't immediately meet Hue but "curves a bow... of love" like a shy, bashful girl.

=> In the author's perception, the Perfume River is intimately, closely, and firmly bonded to the city of Hue.

3. In the text, there are two noteworthy aspects: objective information about the Perfume River and the author's emotions regarding this river. In your opinion, which aspect is more prominent? What basis helps you determine this?

The more prominent aspect is the author's emotion about the river because in the text, Hoang Phu Ngoc Tuong demonstrates:

- An erudite self: Reflected in a rich knowledge base and life experience.

- A talented, sophisticated, romantic self: Reflected in an insightful perspective.

- A sharp observational ability, a rich imagination and associative capability.

- The artistic talent of the writer in depicting the beauty of the Perfume River.

→ All details are carefully selected through the emotionally rich lens of the writer.

4. Share your perception of the significance of the essay’s title. What is noteworthy about the author’s choice of title?

- The title is unique, serving both as a rhetorical question and a statement. The title can imply meanings such as:

+ Reflecting the author's emotional state toward the river.

+ Arousing readers' imagination, visualization, and association.

+ Stimulating curiosity and exploration of the river.

- The rhetorical question addresses the issue of "who named" it. It signifies that the name "Perfume River" contains many fascinating aspects to be understood, along with the mysteries of the river itself to be explored.
