Det er en analyse og fortolkning af en tekst, som hedder "Out Hunting".
Er ret sikker på at der er mange fejl, men synes det ville være skønt hvis bare de mest forfærdelige bliver rettet (se jeg kan se dem, og lære af dem).

Gavin is a thin twelve-year-old boy. He lives with his parents in Africa, which they moved to from England. His sister, called Amanda, is living at a boarding school in England and Gavin is going to join her there the next year. They used to have a good relationship, but since her fifteenth birthday she had changed. Before she used to play with him, but nor she did hardly not have anytime for doing things like that. Now she preferred going shopping with her mother. It seemed as if a conspiracy had sprung up between the women in the family. Gavin is feel a deeply anger against her and lately he has been wishing for her to get killed. He knew is was bad to think like that, however, “It was a variation on the theme of his sister’s death, but this time in also included his father. His father and sister had died in a car crash and Gavin had to break the news to his mother. As she sobbed with grief Gavin would stroke her hair as he’d seen done on TV in England, whispering words of comfort” . The theory is called the Oedipus complex, and it refers to the psychosexual development in childhood where children of both sexes regard the parent, of the same sex as them, as an adversary and competitor for the exclusive love of the parent of the opposite sex as the child. Gavin’s desire to see his father dead, is an import element in him develop into a young man. Even though he gets frustrated by the truth he is still dissatisfied with the way things were. One day he enters his parents’ bedroom - he was cautious at entering without knocking first, once he had been dreadfully “embarrassed to find them both asleep, naked and sprawled on the rumpled double bed” – but that day he knew his mother would be alone in the bedroom, because his father was at work. As she is sitting in front of her dressing table brushing her short but thick reddish-hair without taking notice of him. “Gavin sensed rather than appreciated that his mother was a beautiful woman” . She tells him she is going out for a dress rehearsal and he replies, that he is going out to meet with his friends; David and Laurence. She does not seem to worry much about him, however, “he wished she bothered about him more, did things with him as she did with Amanda. He felt strange and uneasy about her” .
His father had been a lecture in England, but then they had moved to Africa he became a professor in the Chemistry Department. He is tall and thin with sparse black hair brushed across his balding head.
Gavin meets with his friends and they went to his father. They chat for a moment and before they continue on their way to shoot lizards, his father asks where his mother is. He replies she is going to a dress rehearsal. His father does not seem to know about this dress rehearsal, but does not do anything but wondering. They tells his father they want to catch a big lizard they have seen before.
The boys continue on to the jungle gym in the playground. One of his friends hears the sound of a car, a Volkswagen van, bumping along into the jungle. In the car there sat a man and a woman sat beside him. The friend asks if the woman is Gavin’s mother, but he says no – but the implication hung in the air like a threat, he does not wants to admit. After a while the friends had to go home, but Gavin stays he wants to see if he can get the big lizard. He wanders around when he hears his mother’s laugh. He see her in the Volkswagen that earlier drove by him and his friends. “The large sliding door was thrown back and Gavin could see the bunk bed inside. His mother was sitting on the edge of it, laughing. A man without a shirt was struggling to zip up her dress” . He witnesses his mother having an affair and he gets the feel of something will change. Before they get into the front seat, she drops her sunglasses on the ground, but she did not notice they had fallen. The sunglasses where bought in England and where her favourites. This implies that she does not bother about the past, but wants to live in the present. The lizards are a symbol of her live. The lizards are sun-seeking creatures who have to search for awareness to survive, but she was no aware of her being caught in a affair with another man. Also afterwards when Gavin is headed home he saw the big lizard. “It was catching the last warmth of the day, red head methodically bobbing” . This is his mother. She was laying in bed catching the last feeling of love and affection from her love affair. And when she was not being careful she was risking her secret. “Carefully Gavin set down the glasses and took his catapult and pebble from his pocket. Stupid lizards, he thought, sunbathing, you never know who’s around” . This is him thinking that his mother should be more careful and she is very stupid not to be more aware of getting caught. “He aimed, drawing the thick rubber back to full stretch until his left arm began to tremble from the tension […] The lizard basked on, unaware […] He picked up the sunglasses and backed softly away, leaving the lizard undisturbed” . This implies that he will not go and tell about his mother, even though he did have evidence about her and her lover.

Gavin is a thin twelve-year-old boy. He lives with his parents in Africa, where they had moved to from England. His sister, who goes by the name Amanda, is living at a boarding school in England and Gavin is going to join her in a year. They used to be good friends, but she had changed at her fifteenth birthday. She used to play with him, but she barely found time to do things like that these days. Now she preferred going shopping with her mother. It seemed as if a conspiracy had sprung up between the women in the family. Gavin is felt a intense anger against her and lately he has been wishing for her to get killed or somehow die. He knew it was bad to think like that, but there is a few lines in the text that explain his feelings; “It was a variation on the theme of his sister’s death, but this time it also included his father. His father and sister had died in a car crash and Gavin had to break the news to his mother. As she sobbed with grief Gavin would stroke her hair as he’d seen done on TV in England, whispering words of comfort”. (skriv side tal) There’s a theory that backs up the things he has been feeling.
The theory is called the Oedipus complex, and it refers to the psychosexual development in childhood where children of both sexes regard the parent of the same sex as them, as an adversary and competitor for the exclusive love of the parent of the opposite sex as the child. Gavin’s desire to see his father dead is an imported element in him developing into a young man. Even though he gets frustrated by the truth, he is still dissatisfied with the way things are. One day he enters his parents’ bedroom - he had learned to knock before entering, because of the incident where he had been dreadfully “embarrassed to find them both asleep, naked and sprawled on the rumpled double bed” (side tal og linie..) – But that day he knew his mother would be alone in the bedroom because his father was at work. As she was sitting in front of her dressing table brushing her short but thick reddish-hair without taking notice of him. “Gavin sensed rather than appreciated that his mother was a beautiful woman”.

"Now she preferred going (to go) shopping with her mother." jeg ville ikke bruge ing-form
"Gavin is (has) felt a intense anger"
Denne her er heller ikke god:
"he has been wishing for her to get killed or somehow die."

Nu har jeg ikke kigget det hele igennem, men det var sådan lige, hvad jeg faldt over. Er du enig med mig?
