  1. The story is told in the third person. True. But the narrator is bound to Nick most of the time
  2. How can you tell? You can tell by reading the text. For example it says “”I see” Nick said”. Here you can tell that it is being told in third person
  3. Why do you think the story is told this way? How would it work in the first person? Because it makes it easier to see what really happened. If we had a nine year old as a narrator it would maybe affect the way we were told the story. If we were reading it in first person, we would get a more childish view on the story compared to what we are getting when we hear it in third person.
  4. Is the narrator omniscient or non-omniscient? How can you tell? Well the narrator knows what Nick is thinking and he also knows what the father is feeling. For example “In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing he felt quite sure that he would never die” and “He was feeling exalted and talkative as football players are in the dressing room after a game” But the narrator is again bound to Nick, so he mostly knows things about Nick.
  5. Are there descriptive passages in the story? Where? With what effect? Yes there are descriptions. It is not very long descriptions but they are there. For example at the beginning “They walked from the beach through a meadow that was soaking wet with dew…” We would say that it is mostly in the beginning of the text and at the end the language is descriptive. There are not as many descriptions in the middle of the story, it is more action packed there. The effect is that the text becomes more idyllic in the beginning and the end where the descriptions are and it becomes more raw in the middle where there are more verb
  6. Does the narration use direct speech or not? What is the effect of this? Find examples. Yes it uses direct speech. It gives a feeling of action and that it is happening right now instead of looking back at the event.
  7. How would you characterize the language? Simple/complex? Parataxis/hypotaxis? Many adjectives? Metaphors or similies (sammenligninger)? The language is pretty simple, and it uses parataxis. The sentences are short and there are not many adjectives. 
  8. Look up the terms ‘rite of passage’ and ‘initiation story’. In what way might these terms apply to the story? 
  9. Compare Nick’s position in the boat going over the camp with his position as they leave the camp. Do you see any significance here?
  10. What is the main theme of the story?
