The Sin Bin or Lucy´s Heart

Den er også lidt svær. Jeg skriver et referat til dig lige om et øjeblik (så andre behøver ikke gøre det samme).

2 sec :)

Det handler om Lucy, som er kommet i skolens 'sin bin' (et rum/klasseværelse, hvor skolens bøller sidder over). Her fortæller hun, mens hun tegner et hjerte, hvorfor hun sidder der: hun har slået en anden pige (Penny). Egentlig snakker Lucy og Penny ret godt sammen, men Bethan, Lucys nye veninde, står bag Lucy og tvinger/presser hende til at slå Penny. Egentlig er Lucy noget af en mønsterelev (a grade student osv.), og hun har det ikke særligt godt med at have slået Penny, men hun vil samtidig også gerne være veninde med med den "seje" Bethan, der opfører sig voksent og er ret hård.

Håber du har forstået det grundlæggende i historien, ellers må du sige til.

der er i øvrigt masser af fortolkning at gå i krig med i historien (fx. hjertet hun tegner, overskriften, at hun tegner tjære/snavs på hjertet til sidst osv.)

Rigtig mange tak, jeg forstår teksten fuldt ud nu. :)


Men jeg nogle spørgsmål, som jeg ikke rigtig kan?

Why does Lucy hit her?

"I can´t wait for the future when there aren´t so many things to worry about". What are the things that Lucy worries about and what do they tell us about her?

Themes: What is the theme of the story?
- the battle beetween good and evil
-Incompetent mothers
-violence/bullying in schools
-The heart as an internal organ
-The heart as the seat of emotions
-Class
-Thesin of pride
-Adolescence

and why?




På forhånd tusinde mange gange tak :)

why does Lucy hit her?

Det er klart, når Penny står bag ved hende, at hun føler sig presset til at slå hende. Der står også meget detaljteret beskrevet et sted i teksten, hvordan Lucy føler, da hun netop lige slår hende.


var der flere spørgsmål?
