Engelsk A eksamen, 'Sorry for the Loss'

Hej Mads.

Jeg har selv lige været oppe i samme fag, og valgt samme stil. Som du nok godt kan følge mig i, har jeg ikke lige overskud til at give feedback lige nu, men du får her min stil så du kan se hvordan jeg har gjort det :)

A Siren Behind Bars
A siren is a mythical creature, known for singing beautiful symphonies way-out on the ocean, to sailors longing for female voices. While they appear beautiful and draws in poor sailors falling in love at first sight, they are cruel creatures, charming the sailors and drawing them under water until they drown. Real sirens might only live in myths, but the idea of a siren lives on. Bridget Keehan is a writer who published a short story called “Sorry for the Loss” in 2008, giving her version of a modern siren.

The short story is told by a third-person narrator, with a limited omniscient point of view, as it only has access to the main characters knowledge and experiences. The other characters are described from the main characters point of view. As it’s told from the main characters point of view, it’s definitely subjective. This kind of narrator lends authencity to the story; thereby it becomes easier for the reader to get intellectually and emotionally involved.

The story starts in medias res, where the reader gets to know that: “Evie has to tell Victor his Nan is dead.” (p. 2, l. 1). This first sentence introduces the main character, Evie, the second most important character, Victor, (which argueably might also be the antogonist), and the plot. While Evie “(...) has been in post for over a year she still finds the environment of prison abrasive and intimidating.” (p. 2, l. 18-19). A great part of the story is reserved for descriptions of the noises and visual presentations of the inside of the prison, creating the heavy atmosphere the story takes place in. However, when Evie is meditating and caring for her religion, the setting is very different: “It’s a bright, blue-sky day and as the sun streams in from this large solitary window and warms her face she closes her eyes.” (p. 3, l. 34-36). Once the officer enters in the story, her meditation breakes off, and she is forced back to reality, to go meet with Victor, now with courage to deliver the bad news.

The reader doesn’t get to know that Evie is working as a Chaplain at the prison before almost half-way into the story, and thereby the reader doesn’t know why she is to tell Victor that his Nan is dead before this point. On the first two pages, however, there are hints pointing towards this, as the setting of the prison has been set, and it’s revealed, that Evie is religious. In many religions, the point of believing is to obtain inner peace, or obtain accept with ones existence. The element of peace and quietness appears for the first time on the first page of the story: “The noise and rush of labour movement (...) is still an affront to her senses with its banging of gates and scraping of keys in locks (...)” (p. 2, l. 20-23).
Shortly after, the connection between quietness and religion is increased: “Knowing the racket to come, Evie deeply treasures this precious quiet time before unlock. It gives her a chance to try and establish a feeling of calm in spite of the harsh surroundings. She attains this calm through prayer. The place where she stands now is her favourite meditative spot within the jail.” (p. 3, l. 30-34). The noise is described as an affront to her senses, thereby clearly creating distance and dislike towards the noise from Evie point of view.

Evie is a round, dynamic character, as she has a complex personality with many aspects and contradictionary opinions and values. She strive to live a life after the biblical set of rules, but when Victor says he would rather express his grief for the Imam, Evie gets jealous - a mortal sin. When she saw Victor at first, she quickly developed affection towards him: “She is relieved to discover that Victor Zamora is (...) a slight, good-looking boy (...) His eyes have spark and his olive skin makes the blue of his eyes appear all the brigther.” (p. 4, l. 74-80). After meeting him, Evie goes through a stream of consciousness while reflecting on their meeting, revealing that she is somewhat confused and split, as she observes the prisoners heartbreaking farewell with their families and friends. While she tries to hide the fact that she is shaken by the experience, it’s revealed that: “She usually likes to be on hand after Visits to talk to any of the prisoners who might be upset, but today she feels inadequate for the task.” (p. 6, l. 154-156). She is rather disappointed, because she weren’t able to break through and make a difference towards Victors grief for his Nan’s death. Thereby, she has also become a dynamic character, as the experience has changed her point of view on the subject of Victor, what a loss is and how one comes to terms with it.

Evie’s dislike towards noise and her affection for religion is far from the only contrast that appears in the short story. Victor’s language itself is a contrast; when he first hear of his Nan’s death, he quotes Shakespeare, proving himself widely read and intellectual. The next moment, he reveals his prison-background: “No, straight up. She was a pot head, serious.” (p. 4, l. 106). The officer who shows Evie the way to Victor, is described as: “(...) bulkily, like a rugby player (...)” (p. 3, l. 61), and; “(...) a hint of mischief animates his rosacea face (...)” (p. 3, l. 68-69). While Victor is described positively in his appearance, and the officer is described negatively, it’s the other way around in the end. The officer takes the role as Evie’s ‘guardian’, and offers her a white tissue when she is marked by her meeting with Victor. Victor, on the other hand, is spending more time caring for a random pigeon, claiming his inmate next door is somewhat mentally ill, while he himself seems quite insane. If Victor had cared for a dove, which often is a symbol for peace and harmony, the reader what have had a very different view on the meeting, but he is caring for a pigeon, which is commonly refered to as the rats of the air - no more than a mere pest.

As the title points towards, one of the major themes in the short story is regret. To be sorry means to be regretting your action, which plays along greatly with the prison-theme.
Humour is one of the tools Keehan uses to add different aspects to the story, which she does through irony. When Evie and Victor engage their conversation, ‘sorry’ plays a part:?“Did I get a place?”
“Sorry?”
“Did I get a place on the SORRY course? (...)
(...) “Sorry, I don’t know. I don’t do SORRY.” (p. 4, l. 85-89).
Of course the massive use of ‘sorry’ isn’t a coincidence, but rather to emphasize the element of regret. While Victor is the one imprisoned, Evie claims not to “do SORRY”, even enhanced by capital letters, in fact quite ironical, as if she were the imprisoned one, not regretting her actions. Indirectly, one could interpret this, as Evie apologizing in advance, for the fact that she won’t be able to help him.

It’s not before the last 10 lines that the reader gets to know what Victor has been sent to jail for. At first, he appears to be a good-looking guy, with the head in the right place. But as the story develops, it gets clearer and clearer, that he is in fact a bad guy, and the experience marks Evie. When she is told what wrongness he has done, she doesn’t wish to hear no more, and once again enters a stream of consciousness: “She wanders back to the chapel trying to imagine a butterfly knife and the damage it could wreak and wondering at the strangeness of how a thing so hard and sharp, designed to cut, could be named after something so delicate and easy to kill.” (p. 6, l. 186-189). In the end, she can’t help but wonder, how something that appear so wonderful, can be so terrible and cruel.

mange tak, læser den lige igennem :)

Jeg var også oppe i dag og valgte samme tekst, og må indrømme at jeg gik derfra og var lidt fortvivlet - havde jeg nu set det hele, og i så fald var det godt nok osv. 

 

All over the world babies are born and elders are dying - that is the natural progress of any individual, and that is what the earth has to offer any living chromosome. In this modern society a lot of our future is in our own hands – we create the future ourselves. Even though Man is born with the knowledge that everybody is going to die somehow death still remain a taboo and it is something we do not want to talk about. Imagine you have to tell a stranger that one of his close family members has departed from this life; how will this person react? What does this person look like? Is it possible that the person gets so angry that he can hurt somebody? The short story “Sorry for the Loss” is written by Bridget Keehan and it deals with these anxiety-provoking issues and it will defiantly raise questions about different lifestyles, and how to handle difficult situations.  

In this short story, “Sorry for the Loss” we are introduced to the main character, Evie, who is a prison guard. The job as a prison guard is new for her, and therefore she has to deal with a lot of new challenges and unknown situations. She is described as a brave woman, but at the same time she is also a caring and compassionate person. Evie is told that she has to pass on a sad piece of news to one of the prisoners, Victor. She is afraid and nervous but she still manages to tell him the sad piece of information. It is described how nervous she is because Victor may be the unpredictable prisoner, and it is evidenced by this quote, “(…) how nervous she is and that her question is really about whether Victor is the dangerous, unpredictable type who might want to throw a punch at news of his loss” (ll. 65-66 p. 3) This quote indicates that Evie is frightened about the situation but the fact that she makes it anyway tells that she is bold and fearless. During the short story it is obvious that Evie experiences a development and gains insight into another way of living. She realizes that it is not everybody that cares as much, as she may do, about their families. She is quite surprised about Victor’s reaction about his Nan’s death and that particular thing makes her think, “(…) what kind of a background results in a young man so intellectually and spiritually curious, able to show feelings for pigeons, but unable to show emotion at the death of his Nan” (ll. 137-139, p. 5) Victor is described as a good-looking young man with bright teeth, and Evie has trouble understanding why such an intellectually and spiritually curious young-man ended up in prison. Victor attended a school where he got bullied and one day he used a butterfly knife to stab the bully, and the kid later died. The fact that Victor carried a butterfly knife shows that he was on the edge to do something stupid, and that his family probably have not been taken care of him and given him the attention he needed. It is also interesting why he is unable to show emotions when it comes to family, but when he talks about the pigeons it is easy for him to show emotions, “You know something Miss, the bloke in the pad next door he feeds the pigeons crumbs so they get to trust him, then he catches one and traps it so that its head is caught in the little gap (…)” (ll. 127-129, p. 5) This quote shows the reader that Victor is able to sympathize with the pigeon and the interesting part is that the fate of the pigeon is the same fate as his own – both of them are bullied, they are both being trapped and they both trusted somebody that they could not trust in the very end. Victor sees himself through the pigeons eyes and therefore it get easier for him to describe the pigeons situation than his own situation, which is almost similar to the pigeons. The short story takes place in a prison where the action goes on and that creates a tense atmosphere.
The story is told by a limited third person narrator, who only knows what Evie are thinking of, and besides that it is also an implicit narrator that works as a fly on the wall. We are introduced to Evie’s thoughts through the narrator eyes, and the time is constructed chronological which means that the reader experiences the events at the same time as the main character, which makes the story trustworthy and moving. The narrative technique is shown in the way the point of view is placed in the story. We experience the events through Evies eyes in order to feel the same way as she does. Keehan has chosen this point of view to make the reader sympathize with Evie – no one would like to pass on a piece of information like that. The reader is dragged into Evie’s world, the situation and her difficulties and we are quickly very close to Evie and we want things to go well for her. The story starts off in medias res, and has its point of no return when Evie passes on the sad piece of information to Victor and the story has an open ending with Evie who has a steam of consciousness, “She wanders back to the chapel trying to imagine a butterfly knife and the damage it could wreak and wondering at the strangeness of how a thing so hard and sharp, designed to cut, slice an stab, could be named after something so delicate and easy to kill.” (ll. 185-189, p. 6) This quotation shows one of the contrasts Keehan is using – the fact that a butterfly knife is designed for killing makes no sense in her perspective; why such a beautiful name for such a bad thing? It can be reflected into Victor’s situation as a symbol – he is such a beautiful young man, who has committed such a bad crime, just like the butterfly knife. 

The title, “Sorry for the Loss” refers to Evie’s development and the fact the she has to pass that piece of information on. It sets the tone from the very beginning because words as “sorry” and “loss” forms major parts of the title. The reader knows instantly that they are dealing with a story where something is lost, and that is often a tragic or mysterious plot.
The themes in the short story are many and it treats, among other things, how bullying can be the reason to an illogical reaction which results in a cell in a prison. The text revolves around the fact of being trapped and not having any freedom, and it also deals with the major subjects of life; life or death. The message among these themes are that we are our own masters and we are the only one to decide what our lives should be like – in this modern society everything is up to the individual, and we can create our own future – but resolution demands courage, and the question is; du you have the courage to create your own life?

jeg havde det på præcis samme måde - mega fortvivlet! nu har jeg læst begge jeres essays, og jeg må sige, vi har nogle ret forskellige bud på den!

Hvad handlede emnet om?

Har læst begge to nu, jeg var også oppe i dag og valgte samme analyse. jeg har dog også som Madsma selv siger helt anderledes bud på tolkning osv. jeg valgte at sige at det var en fortælling om forholdet mellem kontraster. hvordan noget kan være så smukt og uskyldigt udenpå, men indeni være så morderisk og skarpt som kniven. så den ligger i retning af madsmes. synes det var en svært tekst denne gang. men håver det går. nedenfor ses min analyse.

 

How is it possible that a young man who has been an inmate for at least five years, can still have glowing white teeth, glowing skin and a big grin? Why is a knife that has been made to kill and slice been named after an innocent creature such as a butterfly? We have all these weird questions, as to why two very different things, which clearly make up contrasts, are put together. Why is this, really? There are no answers, or in fact there might be all the answers in the world. You decide and you create the truth. In the literature of the 21st century we are allowed to make up our own truths. Bridget Keehan takes us on a journey in Sorry for the Loss where these questions pop up more than once. In the following I will try to make up my own truth to these questions.
The plot of the story proceeds chronologically and starts in medias res; this means that we are thrown into the story, with no introduction as to where we are or whom we are going to meet. A third person narrator with a restricted point of view, the narrator is not a participant in the story, tells Sorry for the Loss. A restricted point of view, also called limited omniscient, means that the narrator does not have full access to the thoughts of anybody but the main character, in this case Evie the Catholic chaplain. The restrictive narrator gives no access to the minds of Victor, the young inmate, or the officer. If we knew the thoughts of these we could have a clearer picture of the situation; what does Victor really think about the fact that his Nan has just died, and what are the officer’s real intentions? The restricted point of view means that we know how Evie thinks and what her opinion about various subjects is. This is an advantage for us as the readers; it gives us a clear picture of how Evie is as a person, for example we know that she finds the “environment of the prison abrasive and intimidating” (line 18 to 19), and that she wishes to help the young Victor after the death of his Nan.
Evie is the main character of the story, which also makes her the protagonist. She is characterized directly by the narrator; she has been on her post for over a year (line 18), she likes to be alone without the prisoners and enjoy the view from the arch window in wing E (line 43). Evie is very religious; every time she has to walk through the intimidating and harsh hallways of the prison, she says a prayer to god, and right away they make her feel safe. Evie’s prayers comforts her as if “a fleece, gentle and soft, were enveloping her“ (line 36 to 37), she compares the feeling to the feeling a drug addict gets when he enjoys heroin. She practices her religion on such a high level, that she has direct contact to god.
The fact that she has to tell Victor that a member of his family has just died makes her frustrated. It is the first time she has to do it on her own and she would give anything for it to be over quickly. But it has to be done right (line 1 to 2)! As she tells Victor that his Nan has died, she hopes for a typical reaction: the bereaved gets upset and starts to cry, but not Victor. Evie feels as though she has failed in some way. She wants to do a better job, and tries to make Victor pray for the deceased, but nothing helps, Victor does not want to show his feelings. When he starts to talk about the Imam, a religious leader who leads the prayers in the Islamite religion, she feels jealous, why is she not good enough for Victor? Why can he not just pray with her?  She wonders if there is ever anybody who thinks of her as “a good woman” (line 124), she wants to be as good as possible, and to be interesting, insightful and helpful, but Victor does not seem to care. That annoys her.
All of a sudden she gets anxious to leave, nothing more is to be done, even though she feels certain that there was something more she could have said or done to help Victor. She feels that he was putting up a façade. She stands in front of the arch window, to overlook the prisoners while they wave and say goodbye to their loved ones. The sight of these big brutal men waving and blowing kisses makes her emotional. All of a sudden the officer who led her into Victor’s cell stands behind her. He tells her the real story as to why Victor is here; he stabbed a fellow pupil with a butterfly knife, more on the knife later. Evie leaves, now certain that she cannot do more.
Victor is the young man to whom Evie has to deliver the death notice. Victor is characterized indirectly through his behaviour and speech. The indirect characterization means that we, the readers, have to make our own assumptions and come to a conclusion about him. Victor is a young boy, not at all what Evie thought he would be like, but a “slight, good-looking boy who appears barely old enough to even be in an adult prison” (line 75 to 76). He is a contrast to what we may think when we hear of an inmate; his eyes are sparkling, his skin has not lost its glow, his skin makes his eyes look even brighter than normally and he has a big “welcoming grin” (line 81), even though he has served five years in prison. He is uncertain as to why Evie is here; he hopes it is because of his application to the SORRY Course. The SORRY Course seems to be some kind of privilege an inmate can earn if he is in remorse from what he has done. When he realizes why she has come, he utters a hard sniff and looks away for a minute. At first it seems as though he is going to be upset, but instead he asks: “Why should a dog, a horse, a pigeon have a life and Nan no beath at all?” (line 101), to which Evie asks if it is from Shakespeare’s King Lear, a tragedy about the relationship between parents and children. Victor tells her that some of the guys from the book club are putting up the play, and he plays Cordelia, the youngest daughter of King Lear. Cordelia refuses to fight for the love of King Lear with violence, and therefore she gets neither possessions nor land from Lear. As to why this particular play by Shakespeare is mentioned, could be because Victor, as Cordelia, does not want to show his sadness through violence or tears, he shows it inside. This particular place in the story seems very heartfelt and sad, but it changes very quickly as Victor says: “I hope she was stoned”, a reference to his deceased Nan, who says she smokes to better her multiple sclerosis. It seems strange to mention this, but again, maybe Victor tries to hide his feelings. As we get to know Victor he starts to seem more and more unlikely to be a typical inmate; he seems educated, intellectual and spiritually curious – we get a feeling of sympathy for this young boy, perching there on the edge of his bed. Then we find out what he has done, and everything changes. It is hard to come to a concrete conclusion about this troubled boy, because he has two very different sides, which are clear contrasts to each other, one being a heartfelt young man and another being a brutal killer. The only thing we know for sure is that Victor is not a normal boy.
Sorry for the Loss takes on a lot of contrasts; an intimidating prison and the life on the other side of the car park, a young, somewhat handsome kid in prison with white teeth, glowing skin and a big welcoming grin and the fellow inmate, who traps and kills pigeons. Last but not least there is the butterfly knife. In the very end of story, after Evie finds out that Victor killed a boy with a butterfly knife, she thinks of how strange it is that a thing that has been made to “cut, slice and stab” (line 188) has been named after a butterfly, something so “delicate and easy to kill” (line 188). It seems as though these contrasts are a very big part of the conclusion, which we have to make about the story. Maybe it means that everything has a clear, sometimes invisible, contrast. Nothing is as it seems; a butterfly knife has nothing to do with a butterfly, a young good-looking kid with a welcoming smile does not equal a good citizen, but can might as well equal a brutal cold-hearted killer. Nothing it as it seems, everything has a surface that tells us one thing, but right underneath this good-looking surface, the truth lies, and it can be a very harsh truth.
But this is just one truth to all those weird questions, which I introduced at first. Bridget Keehan’s Sorry for the Loss is a typical Post-modern short-story filled with intertextuality, the use of Shakespeare’s King Lear, and other important Post-modern criteria such as giving the readers the authority to make their own conclusions. The story has always interesting open ending, which opens up to a thousand interpretations, none of them wrong and none of them right.

Puha.. godt jeg valgte den anden :D

Mads du skal nok ikke være nervøs. Jeg vil umiddelbart tro at din stil ligger til 10-12 ;)  

Her er min egen: 

Sorry for Your Future

       Every choice and action in life has a consequence, which can be either positive or negative. Sometimes we make choices with such severe consequences that they may change our future drastically, for the better and worse. People are quick judging others for their wrongdoings, and are often so narrow-minded by their prejudice, stereotypes and responsibilities that the reason behind others’ wrongdoings becomes of irrelevant matter. This is exactly the topic which Bridget Keehan takes at hand, in her short story “Sorry for the Loss,  where a female prison chaplain confronts a young and charming prisoner, condemned for murder, who reveals to be everything but what she had expected him to be.
   

The story takes place in prison; however, we are not given a name of the place or the location. There are hints that indicates that it is somewhere in England, since a tearoom is mentioned, and tearooms are characteristic for England. Led by a third person non-omniscient and implicit narrator we follow the main-character Evie, who appears to be a slightly neurotic Catholic chaplain. As described in the story she considers the prison life rather “[…] abrasive and intimidating”. When she is given the task to carry out the news to a prisoner called Victor’s about his Nan’s death,  her mind is occupied with fear of what horrors she believes she is about to meet. She imagines him as an infuriated and mean person. Before confronting Victor, she takes a walk around the prison E-wing. It is probably no coincidence that the author chose to call it E-wing, since it creates a pleasant wordplay called paronomasia, where Evie and E-wing shares a close sound-semblance. Another example of the author’s wordplay is the sibilance “Space is surprisingly sparse”.  On her walk towards the highest section of the prison called “fives”, she describes the harsh sounds of prison environment with a simile: “[…] testosterone voices that have been trained like tenors to reach the gods.” Section “fives” is her favorite place to meditate and pray, which is probably due to her Catholic belief, where the closer you get to heaven, the closer you get to god.  During her meditation she describes her feeling as: “Calm in spite of the harsh surroundings” and she wonders whether junkies share the same feeling when they take heroin. She thinks of the Jesus baby “wrapped in swaddling, with needles and veins”, which appears to be a strong symbolic metaphor of the spiritual innocence carried within the drug addicts, beneath their layer of crime and sin.  She actually shows a strong compassion for the prisoners, and when she looks out of the big solitary window on section “fives” she spots the “road leading out of town” and thinks about whether or not the prison employees and officers ever consider the prisoners’ “envious eyes” watching them from the big window. There is an indication that she is more unpleased with the officers’ and employees’ behavior than the prisoners’ behavior, and she describes the officers as indifferent and officious people, “devouring sandwiches and atrocities” like cruel conflict seeking animals. It is a contrast between evil and good, where the officers are portrayed as heinous guardians of hell-like prison, watching over the sinners’ miserable lives. 

The major turn of the story occurs when Evie finally meets Victor. Despite all her presumptions and pre-concerns about him, she is astonished when she actually sees him. Victor happens to be a good-looking young man, with sparks in his eyes, olive skin, bright blue eyes and a “[…]wide welcoming grin[…]” enhanced by “[…] beautiful white teeth[…].” Though he does not only prove to be a handsome man, but he also proves to be intellectually surprising, showing a great deal of interest for religions and literature, such as by quoting Shakespeare. As a matter of fact he even shares compassion for pigeons, and finds no satisfaction in decorating his room with pictures of half-naked women. He wipes away every common characteristic of a regular prison inmate.  Humorously, considering that Evie is a Catholic chaplain, there are a few signs in the story that indicates that she is rather attracted to him. At one point she strokes her collarbone with her index finger feeling “particularly stiff and hot around her neck”. This is a subconscious action typical performed by women when they are aroused. Also when she lacks to communicate with him it indicates a sense of nervousness, maybe due to her fascination of him: “Her eyes flit from his to scan his cell looking for something anything, she can pick up on to start a new line of conversation.”

Despite of all his positive features, Evie is surprised that he shows no sign of sorrow when he is informed about his Nan’s death. The only comment he makes, is that she was a stoned pot head. Earlier in the story Evie had described his welcoming grin as relaxing back to a “sullen shape that has been the default setting since he was small”  His indifference to the death of his Nan and the sullen shape of his mouth,  shows that he lacks emotions, which could be a sign of him being neglected as a child. She also calls him “The bereaved Victor.” About the pigeon cooing on the window sill he talks about his neighbor cell-mate, who traps pigeons and squeeze their beaks in the window. He cannot fathom this evil action, but has to be the poor witness of it. The pigeon is a symbol for the hope of freedom, a hope that Victor admires, but that his cell-mate keep on destroying. He is like a trapped angel in hell.

After her short meeting with Victor, Evie is overwhelmed with impressions, and as she is escorted back to her quarters by a prison guard, she notices how prisoners round up tightly by the big solitary window, to wave goodbye to their loved ones. What she thinks is a beautiful moment, is destroyed by the officer’s intervening, showing no notice or care of his surroundings. When the officer asks her about Victor’s reaction to the news of his Nan, she restrains herself from telling too much, as she does not trust him and doubts the officer’s intentions.  She is then informed about Victor’s crime, having stabbed another pupil at school with a butterfly knife, because, he was bullied.

This leads to the end where Evie ponders upon the question of how such a lethal weapon as a butterfly knife could be named after something so delicate and easy to kill as a butterfly. The ending I believe is a reference to Victor, being the delicate butterfly, and how he because of many years misery and building up mental tension, committed the worst mistake of his life, murder, which led to his future being metaphorically killed.

At last the story leaves a strong reference to the message of the title “Sorry for the Loss”. I believe the title to be short allegory, which refers to both the death of the Nan and the loss of Victor’s future. He faced a destiny to which freedom was just an undying hope, all because of one wrong choice, a trapped child in the nest of the devil. Worst of all, only Evie felt sorry for him.

Pøj pøj ; )

Tusind tak for jeres svar! er virkelig glad for, i har gidet at læse den igennem og lagt jeres egne stile ind. Vi må krydse fingre for, at det går godt, når censor skal rette dem!
