Jeg har en lille stil som jeg har virkelig har brug for hjælp i. Jeg kender ikke rigtig nogen som vil/kan rette den. Men hvis du bare ville bruge 2 min. til at kigge igennem og se om der er nogle fejl, ville det være super fedt.


From what we hear, Gregory has no psychological crisis. There is no stress or bad feeling about his two marriages. He has loved every three women he has been married to, and dos not regret his marriages. But after his meeting with the 2 black men on his way to Susan’s house, it seems like gets a crisis, a midlife crisis. It’s a known fact that men and women in the middle-age often want to changes their lifestyle. Others quit their jobs and try some new alternative. And it fits very well on Gregory, that he gets an unexpected psychological crisis.
Gregory works at the local university. His job is to teach political science and he is known for being a good teacher. We also learn that he has been married two times so far and his second marriage lasted for fifteen years. He tells us that he does not regret to have been married two times and that that he also has moved on. It is made clear that he himself does not feel that his two marriages were failures.

He loved both of the women and he has learned a lot by marriages. But with Susan he has begun over again with his new girlfriend. It sounds like he sees Susan as his next coming wife.

Susan is a young woman with 3 children, all girls. She works as an idealistic photographer, who takes pictures of the lower classes of society, the same society where she also lives. By taking pictures of poor people she doesn’t get much in wage. We assume that Gregory is living in a middleclass society since he works as a political science teacher. Another clue that Gregory comes from a middleclass society is that he owns an Audi.
We don’t hear Gregory talk or think about how much he loves Susan. But we know one thing for sure; he is very interested in her previous love life with her second man. He keeps trying to get to know more about her former life.
His thought came suddenly and was a bit odd and that could be the reason why he wanted to stop thinking about his ex-wife.

It seems like Susan wants a well paid boyfriend and a good father to her children. By that she has less expenses and higher income. They can start a new family in the middleclass society. But why dos Gregory try to impress Susan as much as he dos? What can a poor, single mother have that other over/middleclass women don’t have? I think that the reason why he has chosen Susan is that he wants to forget his love to the other two ex-wives. By spending time with Susan, he will forget his love to his ex-wife, which he wasn’t aware of, until he gets his psychological crisis on his way to Susan’s house.
The x in Xmas is indicating that he would rather be spending the holidays with his ex- family.
It might have turned out to be a real Christmas Eve if he had had the courage to turn back - to his
ex- family.

One indication that Gregory wants to stay young, is that he still wants to dress like Santa Clause and gifts Susan’s children. When Gregory was younger he used to dress like Santa Clause for his own children’s sake. By still wanting to be Santa Claus for Susan’s children shows us two things. The first thing is that he wants to show to the girls that he cares about them. Second, he wants to remain young. He is afraid of growing old, and that could also be the reason why he choose Susan who is 10 years younger.

- Der er mange kommafejl.
- Der er enkelte grammtiske fejl.
- Der er enkelte præpositionsfejl.
- Du skifter nogle gange mellem nutid og datid.
- En del små fejl, blandt andet lidt stavefejl.

...og ikke mindst; du elsker at bruge 'that' hvilket i så stort antal irriterer læseren! Det er i næsten hver eneste sætning.
Nogle gange er 'tilføljelses ordet' that en nødvendighed, men ofte kan det også undværes - især i skriftsprog.
