what's meaning of having got and the function of some punctuations here. i'm this month one whole year older than i was this time twelvemonth; and having got, as you perceive, almost into the middle of my fourth volume - and no farther than to my first day's life - it's demonstrative that i have three hundred and sixty-four days more to write just now, than when i first set out; so that instead of advancing, as a common writer, in my work with what i have been doing at it - on the contrary, i'm just thrown so many volumes back. Why is there a semicolon here between twelvemonth and having got? and what is the function and meaning of - - - here? what is the meaning of having got here?

What does it mean? What is the grammar in the word "pested'd" of this article? especially the function of the single quotation mark. Tristram Shandy's mother sleeps with his father only on the first Sunday of each month and on precisely that evening Mr. Shandy winds the clock in order to get both of these domestic duties "out of the way at one time, and be no more plagued and pester'd with them the rest of the month "(p.8).

Should I use plural form of 【these words】 in this abstract？Are there any other words that should be used plural form？Is the grammar correct? For a long time, the academic circles have not understood the essence of 【novels】 clearly and discussed it vaguely. There is such an academic trend of thought spreading all over the world, that is, 【novel】 do not need to tell a story, and storytelling is backward and third rate【 novels】 can only do. Based on such a background, this paper clarifies why the essence of 【novel】 is 【story】 and why the nature of 【novel】 is the nature of 【story】 through the methods of observation, literature research, conceptual analysis, deduction and induction. At the same time, this paper points out the essence of the【 novels】 is the common 【complexes】 and 【roads】 of 【humans】. Further, the paper points out that the lack of clear understanding of the essence of 【novel】 and plot, the relationship between contradiction and 【story】, and artistic reality is the fundamental reason for the phenomenon that telling a story is a third rate novel. Starting from the interpretation of artistic reality, this paper points out that the aesthetic judgment on the theme of the【 story】 is the key to understand what is artistic reality, what is realism, and presents the basic relationship between the three essential factors of 【novels 】and the three propositions of literary and art criticism, which can effectively get rid of those boring disputes between serious and popular literature, also can lay the foundation for 【story】 poetics. Based on those above arguments, the paper puts forward some views on the current academic research pattern, including some existing problems about the description and construction of 【novels】 history, what division should be used to replace the original division of pure literature, serious literature and popular literature, and how to measure the value of novels, so as to restore the reputation of the【 story】.
