Essay ca. 500 ord.

You don't have to be a brainiac to know that the story takes place in Egypt, since the very first sentence is ”Welcome to Egypt! Welcome to Egypt!”. To be more clear, our main character Jon is described in one scene as walking down a promenade next to the red sea, which takes us to the more eastern regions of Egypt. If we take a look on the hotel Jon is staying at, we'll see that it's not something special, it's a pretty normal place; the standard is not very high. Because If it was (had been), he wouldn't be in a risk of being attacked by some Egypts, when he walked out of his door. It's not like the worst room you can find, since there is some kind of service on the hotel and a working toilet. The hotel staff is hooked on tips, it's simply no money, no service – simple. In Yellow the only person the reader gets to know is our main character Jon, his misrable life and thoughts. Jon is very sensitive and he gets unusually nervous from time to time. Like  For instance, when he arrives at the hotel, alot of egypts comes out to help him carrying his bags up to his room. Jon reacts with  by giving theme alot of tips and shaking hands with theme. It's a very short (it's a brief) episode, but still it shows us how Jon reacts, when he gets nervous. Jon has a big relantionship to alcohol (evt. Jon has a big/great problem with alcohol -smagssag), which I will get back to later.
Jon works for a magazine in London, and they somehow forced him to travel to Egypt, as no one else wanted to go. Jon didn't want to go himself, but Jon is in the bottom in  of the hierarchy, and as someone had to go, so he didn't really have any choice, in the end. We also know that Jon has a girlfreind back in London, but it doesn't seem to be a lovely one. They rarely speak to each other, and when his he's sitting in the train he comes to a the conclusion that she will probably leave him. I wouldn't say that Jon is a social person, he's more like one of those persons, who never says anything, and if someone said: "Where is Jon?" You would take a deep breath and think ”Jon?” (...) ”-Oh Jon!”.
As we know, Jon dont have haven't got the best life, he's not respected anywhere not even after his own book (du mener, at han heller ikke er respekteret af ham selv? Den tror jeg, du bliver nødt til at omformulere - altså "not even after his own book").
It seems like Jon isn't the most popular guy back in London, there is a lot of people, who doesn't like him, but then again he doesn't even like himself, so what would the point be anyway if somebody else actually did like him?
Jon has some problems he can't overcome, as it would require some individual work, and yes it's easier just having another bottle of gin than it is to face, what you are, and what you're made of.
This alcoholism ends up in Jon taking his own life (commiting suicide). He always questionmarked the ocean, for to Jon this it/the ocean looks empty and lonely like himself. And that's maybe why he ends up jumping into to the deep ocean.

Mine rettelser står med kursiv, parenteser er forslag til, hvad der ellers kan skrives eller kommentarer. Jeg har også streget noget ud her og der, du måske gerne vil gøres opmærksom på.

Håber, du kan bruge det til noget ;)

Lærere ønsker ikke sammentrækninger (kun i direkte tale, men det er ikke relevant her). Så ret det, således at don't bliver til do not osv.

Okay tusind tak for hjælpen..

Det med sammentrækninger er vist en smagssag, der er forskellig fra lærer til lærer, min engelsklærer vil i hvert fald gerne have sammentrækninger. Men som du siger, er det ikke relevant i dette tilfælde.

Det kan du selvfølgelig have ret i, så lad mig rette min påstand: De lærere, jeg har stiftet bekendtskab med, har altid givet udtryk for, at sammentrækninger kun hører hjemme i fx en novelle, hvor man kan inddrage direkte tale. :)

: ) jaja! Det er vel også egentlig mere grammatisk korrekt. Eller noget :p

I realiteten JA. :)
