Er der en der gider kaste et blik på følgende og komme med evt. rettelser??
Through out the short story “Blink and You Miss It”, we follow the main character on a flashback to his young manhood. The flashback starts when he sees a boy named Sammy crossing the street. He describes how carefully he is looking for cars before he crosses the street. He also describes how Sammy’s common sense will desert him in eight or nine years. In the flashback the main character is on a beach sitting in a circle of people, in the centre of the circle is the beach guru. Due to a police raid, the main character has to help the beach guru purchase some drugs for the nights big beach party. The main character goes with the guru into town, where the guru has a contact with the police chief. They are going to meet the guru’s contact at the docks. The guru persuades the main character to go over to the contact and buy the drugs. But as he asks for the drugs he is arrested by the police and dragged away, meanwhile the guru hands the police chief a wad of banknotes. Here the flashback ends and we are back in the present. The main character describes how he has been watching the boy Sammy and how he has tried to get in touch with him by sending Christmas cards to him. The cards are however returned with a note from Sammy’s father that implores him to not write anymore.

Kun få rettelser til sproget:
Early manhood i stedet for young manhood.
..for the night's (evening's?) big beach party.
where the guru has a contact with the police chief.
Dette giver ikke rigtig mening. Hvad er det guruen har med politimesteren? Hvis du mener, at politimesteren er hans kontaktperson, skal du skrive noget i stil med "...has a contact in the police chief". Hvis du mener, at guruen er i kontakt med politimesteren, skal du skrive "...was in contact with the police chief". Kan du se forskellen?
Hvad indholdet i resumeet angår, så er det svært at sige noget om, da jeg ikke har læst novellen. Resumeet lader dog en hel del spørgsmål stå tilbage (f.eks hvad er hovedpersonens forhold til Sammy?), men det gør novellen måske også?
Kommafejl er IKKE rettet.
