A Letter from Home tells the story of family members killing each other through a warm letter from home. In Letters from Home, our master, Babel, hides behind the cavalry Kulchukov, and tells us the tear brought by the war to a family by paraphrasing the letter written by the cavalry to his mother: in this family, the father in the White Army personally killed one of his sons who joined the Red Army. And his other son of the Red Army killed him and avenged his own brother.

in less than 3, words, Isaac Babel showed us the "great tragedy of father and son killing each other and family falling apart", profoundly exposing the devastation of war on family, affection, humanity and life.

terrible, father and son, brothers turned against each other, and there is no blood relationship. Political opposition and class hatred make it quick for relatives to cut each other's blood and cool for peeling and cutting meat. What's even more frightening is that the party concerned told the tragic change of his family, but he kept a straight face. The father of the White Army cut off his eldest son, fyodor, and Xie Miao, the youngest son of the Red Army, caught his father. The youngest son wrote to his mother to describe it:

In the face of such a cold dialogue, all the moral and ideological inertia we usually accumulated failed and became speechless. We can only follow Babel's brushwork and thinking into the battlefield of Su-Bo and watch a terrible family tragedy happen. The distortion of human nature by war is embarrassing, silent, and then silent. Every word of it has achieved the purpose of accusing the war, making readers reflect on the war, and making us think about how to make human beings live better.

in the back part of the letter, the speaker and the content of the conversation are divided into two paragraphs, which play an important role.

in the structure of this article, the short segment is in sharp contrast with the long segment.

Finally, family fun, a picture of things being different, contrasts family tragedy, war tragedy and human tragedy, and deepens the shaping of four characters in a family.

This is a letter from home dictated to me by the boy named Kulchukov in our mailroom, and I wrote it for him. This letter should not be forgotten. I transcribed the whole text, without changing a word, completely retaining the original appearance.

Dear Mom, Dochia Fedorovna:

Below he listed a lot of names of relatives, godparents and godparents. We'll skip it. The full text is copied from the second paragraph.

He handed me a worn photo, which showed Timofeiqi Kul Chukov, a police officer with a thick waist, a hat made by police officers, a neatly combed beard, standing straight there, with high cheekbones and pale eyes, which looked foolish. On the bamboo chair beside him, sat a thin peasant woman, wearing an extended coat and with a shiny, timid face like that of a tuberculosis patient. On the other side of the wall, next to the rustic background with flowers and pigeons in the provincial photo studio, stood two young men-surprisingly tall, dull-headed, with big faces and critical eyes, standing in clay sculpture and wood carving, as if listening to training. These are two brothers of the Kul Chukov family-fyodor and Xie Miao.
