Uddrag
Gode analyse begreber:
The theme of a book is the “big idea” that runs throughout the text, connecting the characters and events.

Many times, it has to do with what the main character learned over the course of the story.

What is plot?
Plot is the chain of connected events that make up a narrative. It refers to what actually occurs in a story and is one of storytelling’s major pillars.

Some will say that if characters are the who and theme is the why, then the plot is the what of the story.

It is not a series of random incidents. Generally, there must be a cause-and-effect relationship between the events and the plot points. The king died and then the queen died, for instance

is not a plot, as E.M. Forster notes. But the king died and then the queen died out of grief is one because it reveals a causality in the sequence of scenes.

Bias means: The writer is not just presenting us with the objective facts, but with a one-sided version.
- Bias in the individual word
- Bias in phrases
- Bias between the lines

postmodern characteristics
- The writing style means after the modernist movement

- The postmodern writer also focuses on expression without content, which means that the writer puts up a scenario which the reader is free to interpret in whatever way he wants to: there is no correct interpretation

- However, some of these are fragmentation, the use of paradoxes and the use of questionable narrators who are not to be trusted making the stories very subjective.

Everyday situations are used in many novels and other types of literary work. Therefore, stories are often highly influenced by social realism - see the subgenre realistic fiction.

comparative analysis
Language:
- anfora
- tricolon – når man nævner ting I grupper
- bruger sproget som et redskab
- sympathise
- sometimes using narrative techniques like foreshadowing
- subjective or objective

- Written language is the written form of communication which includes both reading and writing. Although written language may at first be considered to simply be oral language in its written form

the two are quite different in that oral language rules are innate whereas written language is acquired through explicit education.

- Written language, whether reading or writing, requires basic language abilities.

These include phonological processing (understanding that words are made of discrete sounds, then associating letters with these sounds, i.e., decoding), vocabulary, and syntax
