Hej søde mennesker :) Jeg har skrevet et essay af "The Sandwich Factory” - håber virkelig at der er nogle der vil se den igennem - mht. grammatiske fejl.

A. Essay about ”The Sandwich Factory”
“The Sandwich Factory” is a short story by Jason Kennedy. The text is from 2007. The narrator in this short story is a 1st person narrator. We see that the plot takes place at a sandwich factory and the narrator works there. The Sandwich Factory is an automation of human beings.
The story is about a man who doesn’t like his job – he needs to be capable to deal with a lot of things about other people, and also himself to do the job. He doesn’t have any self-assurance because he speaks badly about everyone around him. We read much about what he fells and what he means about other people around him. Then he tells about people he works with.

The story begins in the sandwich factory, afterwards in his car, as he drives a girl home, and in the end of the story is takes place in the sandwich factory, it can refer to the model: home-out-home.
The narrator is the main character who is a lonely man who doesn’t like his job, life and need to believe himself: “I had zero confidence with woman anyway, but it’s even harder to engage in courtship wearing a paper suit and a blue hairnet” (page 4 linie 96-97) He also speaks bad and criticize people all around him “There was a woman there named Dot. I am never sure why somebody wants to render a child insignificant by naming them Dot. How about Speck? Smidgen? Nano ? Or Dash” (Page 1 linie 25-26)
He is a man who has no confidence with women and reader reads “Dot wanted someone to have sex with me, when I hadn’t left after a week.

Most people left before they made it through a week. Dot was concerned that I did not sat much, that I didn’t try to “get into the girls’ knickers” and she searched for a girl who would sleep with me (…)I had zero confidence with woman anyway” (Page 3 linie 93-96)
The place Sandwich Factory get us a negative aspect, because the employee doing the same thing every time. The managers of the factory don’t have a good condition with the workers and don’t respect the workers. “Looked doors were a feature of the sandwich factory. The managers would lock everyone in if we were behind schedule or there was a larger order than usual. Someone would come back to the conveyor belt and whisper, “They’ve locked us in. Locked us in until British Rail have another six thousand ham and egg.””(Page 2 linie 66-69) it can refer to the managers of the factory don’t respect the workers and treat the workers like robots. Then he says “I entertained a vision of one day being rich and hiring a bunch of faded paunchy managers to recreate the myth of Sisyphus in my back garden, as I sat in a director’s chair, watching them push boulders up a home-made hill” (Page 2 linie 59-60) it can refer to he will change these circumstances and have a better conditions between the managers and workers. The managers split the workers in groups and scratch them as poor ones and good ones and it give us an idea that the workers are not under normal circumstances.

Dot has been in the factory long time to have lost a part of her human qualities and individuality. She is a contrast to the narrator because she has lost a great part of her life and doesn’t understand why the narrator is not agreeing like the other workers in the factory. According to the narrator the factory can do a person unwise and says “I worked at a sandwich factory where a mad kid worked. He would leer through a hatch and wave a knife at me. One day he ran after my car waving a knife. I figured he wanted to scare me. Or scare and then kill me” (Page 1 linie 2- 4).
I think the theme is mechanization of human beings, because we read much about this and the narrator’s job and how he feels about it.
The title “The Sandwich Factory” is about the sandwich factory and the narrator works there and all we reads is about the sandwich factory.

The picture Relativity from 1953 by M.C. Escher is a good example of how a factory can be, because you can see that all people are very busy and the factory could be the sandwich factory and people working like robots and lose your identity. I think that Charles Dickens’ novel, ”Hard Times” and “The Sandwich Factory” by Jason Kennedy have something in common, because they both tells us abort the negative aspects of industrialism and the how the workers fells. In the description we see that the workers do the same work every day.

B. Coketown
Explain how Dickens uses figures of speech in his description of Coketown. Illustrate your essay with quotations from the text. The text is actually very much patent by figures of speeches Coketown represents a negative aspect of the industrial revolution. He is well to creating a picture of the terrible town with using of negative, black words, which makes the text to a negative atmosphere. “It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled”. He uses the word “serpents” which can refer to something to be killing. He use word like serpents, elephant etc., which can give a fanatic interesting and negative atmosphere in Coketown, because the words he use is negative words, not positive. For example “ (…) the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness.” So he gives a comparison between an elephant and a machine. So he gives the reader a idea about how terrible the town is, because he will tell the reader how the circumstance is and tell the truth to people.
