Hej.
Vi har skriftlig årsprøve i engelsk, og så ville jeg høre om der er nogen der ved, hvor jeg kan finde nogle gode analysemodeller? Har søgt men fandt kun danske-kan selvfølgelig bare oversætte, men det ville være lettest hvis det stod på engelsk direkte.
Søger fx: berettermodellen, freuds personlighedsmodel og evt. billedanalyse.

Hvis du tænker på en analyse model af et essay som du nok skal op i...
Så er det vel vigtigt at komme ind på:
The setting
The narrator
The conflict
The relationship between person 1 and 2
The theme
Samtidig er det en god idé at finde symboler osv.
Skal også selv til årsprøve i engelsk snart.

Jeg ved ikke hvorfor jeg ikke kan sende til din indbakke. Jeg har prøvet igen men jeg tror ikke at det lykkedes, det plejer ellers ikke at være noget problem.
Jeg havde valgt at sende den til din indbakke da jeg ikke er sikker på at min lærer bryder sig om at jeg lægger noget hun har skrevet ud på nettet. Men det er jo bare en analysemodel, så nu gør jeg det så aligevel.

Always make a presentation of the text: author, title, genre, year of publication
A: Making an analysis means answering the questions who, what, where, when, how.
1.
Characterization
• Characterize the main characters and account for their development.
• Account for relations between the characters in the story (i.e. interpersonal relations).
• Account for the connection between the characters' human qualities, behaviour and circumstances (age, job, personal history etc.)
• If there is a climax, that is the point in the story you should consider especially carefully, because the characters often reveal their qualities most clearly at this point. Very often the climax of the story is also the point where the characters change/develop or where a change/development becomes clear to the reader.
• Account briefly for subordinate characters.
2.
Setting / the time
• Account for the setting and the time and use your observations/conclusions in connection with the characterization of the characters. (Setting: the place and time in which a story takes place; also, in a broader sense, the culture and the ways of life of the characters; milieu/social environment.)
3.
The composition of the story
• Account for the composition of the text.
• Consider the following aspects: chronology, flashbacks, number of story lines, climax (the turning point in a story or the point of highest interest), foreshadowing (i.e. the introduction of specific words, images or events into the story to suggest or anticipate later events), etc.
4.
Narrator
• What kind of narrator? (1st person narrator, 3rd person narrator, omniscient narrator, narrator with limited omniscience i.e. the narrator reveals only insight in one or few characters).
• How does the choice of narrator influence the reader's perception of the characters, events and issues.
• In what tense is the story told? Is the same tense used throughout the story?
5.
Point of view
• Through whose eyes are the events seen or interpreted? Discuss how the choice of point of view influences the story.
• Are there changes in point of view?
6.
Mood/atmosphere
• What is the prevalent mood/atmosphere of the story?
(The mood or atmosphere of the story as conveyed by the author' s choices of language when describing the setting and the characters)
7.
Language/vocabulary
• Discuss the language used in the story and the connection between the language and the characters – if there is such a connection.
(Types of language: colloquial/ everyday language: simple and short sentences, limited vocabulary; formal language: long and complicated sentences, large vocabulary.)
• Is imagery ('billedsprog') used in the text?
• Discuss how the chosen language, vocabulary, and imagery affect the reader's understanding of the characters, the events and the issues in the story.
B: Interpretation is, basically, when you begin to ask: why?
1.
Theme
• What is the theme in this story?
(In most cases there is only one theme in a short story. There may be several important subjects and issues).
2.
The title
• Does the title indicate what the theme is? Does it add anything to our understanding of the text? Can it be interpreted in various ways?
3.
Message
• What is the message of this story or what may the author want to say with this story?
Often fictional texts do not have a message as such, but since the author has chosen to write the story, he/she is obviously interested in the issue(s) and wants to express a view or make a statement.
4.
Exploring connections
• Consider and discuss this text in connection with other texts dealing with the same subject(s)
