Ernest Hemmingway - essay

Hej alle.

Jeg er i gang med et engelsk essay, hvor jeg blandt andet har valgt at skrive om et digt af Ernest Hemmingway, hvor jeg vil koncentrere mig om temaerne i digtet. Mit problem er bare, at jeg er lige så dårlig til engelsk, som et barn, der lige har lært at læse og skrive. Jeg vil derfor spørge, om der er nogen, der vil læse mit engelsk igennem.

På forhånd tak.

PN: Jeg er for resten blind og vil derfor høre, om i gider at komme med jeres rettelser i en parentes, da jeg ikke kan se overstregninger.

Jeg skriver teksten ned herunder:

I will start with the poem ”The old man at the bridge”. This poem is during a war. It is about a very old man, who is sitting at a bridge and looks how everybody cross the bridge, past the old man and further in the life. So you can see that one of the biggest themes is death. It is very clear to see that the old man who is dirty and grey symbolize death. He can not go further. He is just sitting there. Perhaps he hopes that the bridge will be bombed, and this way he will die. The opposite of death is life. Life is an other theme in this poem . The bridge is a symbol of life. Lot of people cross the bridge. Maybi they run away from the war and hope for better times with a long life without soldiers and bombs. If you go deeper at the poem, you will see some other themes which is bonded with the two other themes. I think that peace and fridom also are very important topics because everyone, the man, the people and the country look for peace and freedom. I thin that they want to be a free human again.
