rettelse af engelsk tekst???
Nogen der vil være super søde at kigge det her igennem for fejl? :D eller bare noget af det..? :)
In a time where you have trouble finding yourself and your own identity, it is even harder when you can’t figure out how the persons close to you feel. In the text ”On the Beach” by Bret Easton Ellis, we feel the narrator’s frustration: he feels an obligation towards his sick friend, to stand by her side, but in the other hand he wants to escape from everything, maybe he really wants to escape from the life he is living?
The sick girl described in the text probably has cancer. She is very weak and wears a wig and is very skinny. She has started to smoke and does it
all the time - even though she doesn’t like it, she just wants to smoke.
Perhaps she has been healthy and a non-smoker before, but know she knows that she has to die, so nothing matters anymore, she rebels against it all. The narrator tries to protect himself from the sick girl’s disease. She isn’t mentioned by name anytime in the story, and her concrete disease isn’t mentioned either. This is probably a way the narrator tries to protect himself in: if he doesn’t mention it, he doesn’t have to deal with it. On page 23 Mona says “She’s really sick”, and the narrator replies only by saying that he wants a beer. He is afraid of what is going to happen if he says it out loud: this is confirmed by the last sentence of the story: “... I whisper to myself as softly as I can because it sounds like an omen”.
På forhånd mange tak :)

Del 1;
"he feels an obligation towards his sick friend, to stand by her side, but in the other hand...."
Der skal efter min overbevisning stå "on the other hand"
Del 2;
She isn’t mentioned by name anytime in the story, and her concrete disease...
Selvom concrete godt kan oversættes som konkret - betyder det jo også beton, og synes du burde vælge et andet ord i stedet såsom, exact - actual
Bar lige 2 små ting ;>

Er ikke "expert "men...
She is very weak and wears a wig and is very skinny- ville nok skrive and "she" is very skinny
but (know) she knows that she has - now
"This is probably a way the narrator tries to protect himself in" synes jeg lyder lidt klodset.
Men lyder som en spændende opg.
Held og lykke fra mig

In a time when you can have trouble finding yourself and your own identy things can seem difficult.
It does not make it any easier if you don`t know how the person that is close to you feels.
Maybee the narrator tries to protect himself against the young girl and the fact that she is dying.
The girl is not mentioned by name any place in the story, so we never get to know her name.
Ovennævnte er blot et par forslag til, hvordan du kan ændre din tekst.
Concret betyder beton, så du skal som nævnt længre oppe bruge noget andet, og du kunne for eksempel skrive: "We never get to know, what is wrong with the sick girl, but it could be cancer, because of the way she is described as being very skinny and wearing a wig, because she is loosing her hair.
The narrator tries to protect himself against the fact that the girl eventually is going to die from her disase, and when he is confronted with it, he does not know how to react, so he asks for a beer, because he dosen`t know how to cope with it.
