Topic discussion：Write no less than 150 words on each of the following topic in English.Briefly discuss Henry James's contribution to American literature in regard to his representative works, themes, writing techniques and language.
A. INTERNATIONAL THEMES:IN ALMOST ALL THE STORIES AND NOVELS HE WROTE DURING THIS PERIOD, JAMES TREATED WITH GREAT CARE THE CLASHES BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT CULTURES AND THE EMOTIONAL AND MORAL PROBLEMS OF AMERICANS IN EUROPE, OR EUROPEANS IN AMERICA. NEARLY EVERY WORK IS IMPORTANT IN ITS OWN WAY IN TERMS OF JAMES'S CULTIVATION OF THE THEME.
B. REPRESENTATIVE WORKS：DAISY MILLER (1878), A NOVELLA ABOUT A YOUNG AMERICAN GIRL WHO GETS "KILLED" BY THE WINTER IN ROME, BROUGHT JAMES INTERNATIONAL FAME FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY (1881) IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE HIS MASTERPIECE, WHICH INCARNATES THE CLASH BETWEEN THE OLD WORLD AND THE NEW IN THE LIFE JOURNEY OF AN AMERICAN GIRL IN A EUROPEAN CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT.
C. LANGUAGE: AS TO HIS LANGUAGE, JAMES IS NOT SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND. HE IS OFTEN HIGHLY REFINED AND INSIGHTFUL. WITH A LARGE VOCABULARY, HE IS ALWAYS ACCURATE IN WORD SELECTION, TRYING TO FIND THE BEST EXPRESSION FOR HIS LITERARY IMAGINATION.
D. STYLE：MOREOVER, JAMES'S REALISM IS CHARACTERIZED BY HIS PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH TO HIS SUBJECT MATTER. ONE OF THE JAMES'S LITERARY TECHNIQUES INNOVATED TO CATER FOR THIS PSYCHOLOGICAL EMPHASIS IS HIS NARRATIVE "POINT OF VIEW."
E. SUMMARY：THAT IS WHY JAMES IS GENERALLY REGARDED AS THE FORERUNNER OF THE 20TH-CENTURY "STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS" NOVELS AND THE FOUNDER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL REALISM.
