Narrative situation - the piont of view is determined by the person of the narrator and his attitude towards the characters - the narrator may tells everything but may also be an unbelievable narrator who lies - the tense may also influence the distance between reader and character. If something's happening while you read, you usually feel closer. - sometimes characters are treated with irony - descriptions of of events, characters or settings also can be dialoges. They are also shown by comments by the narrator - there are direct speech and interior monologues that tell about the story. Indirect speech may also could be an option narrative perspectives First-person narrator easiest to identify with (high lev. of sympathising), full of the feelings of only one person, close to the told character, only know what this character thinks/see/hear (opinion to others), mostly main character, narrator = character (part of the plot) Third-person-omniscient narrator not visible in the story (not a character in the story), tells from outside, knows everything (thoughts of characters or feelings) maybe comment the characters behaviour, manly neutural and more distanced narration, high level of reliability and objectivity, low level of identification, not clear from the beginning who the MC is (if exist) Third-person-limited narrator Tells the outside, focused on one particular character, not identifical with this character, sympathise more easily with the most told character, high lev of identification, rather subjective, rather low revel of reliability. Characterisation When you analyse a novel, film, play etc., it is important to examine the characters, what they are like, what their role is, how they interact with others, and if they change in the course of a story. Characters that don't change and have no depth are sometimes called flat characters, whereas characters that undergo changes and are presented in detail are called round characters. The main character is called the protagonist, and if there is a conflict between him/her and another important character, that character is called his/her antagonist. Character informations - Personal data:, name, age, sex, ethnic group, home - roles, social background, family, job, interests - outward appearance - main character traits - language - actions, behaviour - mood, thoughts and feelings - influences from the past (if known) - relationship with others function in the story Direct characterisation The narratorora character in he story tells the reader explicitly what acharacter is like Indirect characterisation The reader learns what a character is like by examining and interpreting what the character thinks, s or does and how he behaves says, feels towards others Writing a summary A summary is common in all forms of writing and is aimed at highlighting the major points of a piece of writing and outlining the most important facts. Furthermore, it helps you to obtain a better orientation and understanding of the structure and contents of a text which you need for additional analysis and evaluation. When you write a summary, you have to briefly restate the author's main ideas (non- fictional texts) or retell a story in your own words (fictional texts). Your summary should be much shorter than the original. It's mostly told to be a half or a third of the original Follow these steps to write a summary of n-fictional text: 1. Read the text carefully and underline the sentence with the main idea or argument, or write it down. a non- 3. Read the text again and underline or write down the ideas, facts or arguments (words and phrases rather than whole sentences) that support the main idea or argument. 4. Start your summary with the main idea or argument. 5. Write short paragraphs summing up the other important ideas or arguments. Use your own words as much as possible. Use the present tense. 6. Do not include any information that is not essential (e. g. examples, descriptive details, direct quotes). Your own ideas or opinions don't belong in a summary. 7. Check and if necessary revise your summary. You can do this best if you imagine you are a reader who doesn't know anything about the topic. Follow these steps to write a summary of a fictional text: 1. Read the text carefully. 2. Underline or write down the main characters and the setting. 3. Divide the text into sections if the author hasn't already done this for you (e. g. with chapters or mini-chapters). To do this, decide where you think a new section starts (e. g. when there is a new development in the story or a new aspect). 4. Read the text again and underline or write down the key words and the main points in each section (words and phrases rather than whole sentences). Also underline or write down the turning point in the plot. 5. Using the present tense, write short paragraphs to summarise the plot, i. e. write down what happens and how the events are connected. Use your own words as much as possible. Link your sentences with connectives. 6. Check and if necessary revise your summary. You can do this best if you imagine you are a reader who doesn't know the story.
