Our fantastic poem

Tony
Handsome, strong and irresistible
Son of his father, friend of Leon
Who loves the army and hamburgers
Who feels like thunder, numb and angry
Who needs revenge, a home and some food
Who fears the cop and the government
Who wishes to see the cop dead and wants to work with the sheep
His name is Tony Sousea..

Analyse av novella ”Dagsnytt”

Novella er skrevet av Anna Gavalda. Den er fra novellesamlinga ”Eg vil at nokon skal vente på meg” frå 2005. Novellen er opprinnelig fransk, men har blitt oversatt til norsk.
”Dagsnytt” handler om en person som heter Jean-Pierre Faret. Han er veldig fornøyd med seg selv og han lever ett bra liv som en vellykket mann. I novella får vi høre om at han er involvert i en bilulykke. Det rare er at han ikke vet selv at han var innblandet i den. Han hadde det veldig travelt den morgenen, så han hadde kjørt ganske fort for å komme fram i tide. Plutselig ringer kona til han. Hun er bekymret, men Jean-Pierre skjønner ikke hvorfor. Hun spør om han har vært med i en bilulykke. Jean-Pierre svarer at han ikke har vært i noe bilulykke, og kona blir veldig lettet. Når Han kommer hjem, får han se hva som har skjedd. En bil hadde forårsaket en kjedekollisjon på hovedveien. Han finner ut det var han som var billisten.

Novella er fortalt i 1. Person. Det er alltid Jean-Pierre sin synsvinkel som blir fortalt. Selv om kona og barnene også blir nevnt, er det alltid Jean-Pierre som er viktig i novella. Dette gjør at vi ”knytter bånd” med hovedpersonen, og får et godt innblikk i hans meninger og tanker.

Hovedpersonen, Jean-Pierre, blir beskrevet som en rik og suksessfull mann. Alt i alt virker han fornøyd med seg selv og livet sitt. Selv om han er fornøyd med livet sitt, og alt går bra, endres dette når han får vite at han forårsaket en kollisjon og drepte noen. Han får stor skyldfølelse.

Starten på novella er ”In medias res”. Det betyr at den starter rett inn i handlinga. Novella her starter slik: ”Eg burde heller gå og legge meg, men eg kan ikkje.” Jean-Pierre sitter foran dataen sin og skriver en ”rapport” en slags blogg om livet sitt og ser tilbake på hvordan ting var før. Etter innledninga som er in medias res, er novella kronologisk oppbygd. Det er en sirkelkomposisjon, fordi at novella ender med at han sitter foran dataen sin igjen. Frampeket i novella skjer når kona hans ringer han og spør om det går bra med han. Det viser at noe har spesielt har skjedd. Dette skaper en spenning i novella.

Språket er lett og forstå. Det er ikke brukt noen metaforer, språklige bilder eller noe slikt. Derfor er novella lett å lese. Anna Gavalda har nesten ikke brukt miljøskildringer i novella, men hun sier på en måte litt mer enn hun skriver. Selv om Jean-Pierre virker ganske fornøyd og glad, er han ikke helt fornøyd med ekteskapet sitt.

Jeg mener at temaet med novella er måten Jean-Pierre får dårlig samvittighet når han får høre at han har forårsaket en ulykke som har drept flere personer. Temaet følges bra gjennom novella. Han er meget fornøyd med livet sitt, men alt endres når han får vite om at han hadde ”drept” alle de menneskene.

Jeg synes at ”Dagsnytt” var en bra novelle. Den er ganske spesiell, men dette gjør at den er interessant. Grunnen til at den er litt spesiell, er at han forårsaker en stor ulykke uten at han selv vet det. Jeg syns novella var lett og forstå, og ville anbefalt den til alle.

My travel blog from Australia and Scotland

Australia
Day. 1: The travel
Now, the first day of my vacation has passed, but it wasn’t a very interesting day to be honest. Most of the day went to travelling. I had to get up really early in the morning to catch a plane that went 6.30 from Værnes to Australia. When I sat down on the aeroplane, the only thing I was thinking about was that I had a 24 hour plane trip ahead of me. Although I had expected the worst 24 hours of my life, the flight went fine. The only things that “kept me alive” , was music on my mp3-player, and a good book.

Day. 2: Jetlag
The second day I spent on just walking around the hotel, and lying on the beach all day. Even though I was only staying in Australia for a couple of days, I thought it was ok spending a day doing nothing. It really helped me recovering from my jetlag from the flight I did the day earlier.

Day. 3: Sightseeing
On the third day I really wanted to do something fun. I decided to do some sightseeing. I took a bus from the hotel, to the large, famous opera house in Sydney. The opera house looked really special, and it was pretty hard to describe. They told a lot of interesting facts on the sightseeing bus. For example that the opera house was finished in 1973, it is 183 metres long and 120 metres wide. Another really interesting fact was that the opera house it has the same power supply that a town of 25.000 people uses. That is pretty amazing. I also got to see some of the other famous places and buildings in Sydney. I got to see the oldest cathedral in Sydney, and it was from 1847. Because of the fact that I’ve never been a really big fan of sightseeing, I decided to call it an early night and go back to the hotel.

Day. 4: Surf’s up
The day after my sightseeing round, I thought that one day of being a tourist was enough. However I wanted to try to learn something about another typical Australian thing, surfing. All my life I had wanted to try surfing, so I rented a surf board at a local surf shop and went down to the beach. After a couple of embarrassing attempts, I got some of the locals to help me. I didn’t get the hang of it at once, but at least the local “aussies“ got a good laugh out of it.
After four fantastic days in Australia, it was time to take the plane to my next destination; Ireland.

Day. 5: Scotland
After another long flight, I had arrived in Ireland. The first impression when I walked out of the aeroplane was the vast difference between the climate in Australia and in Ireland. In Australia it was always sunny, very hot and a tropical like weather. In Ireland it was a lot of rain and when it wasn’t raining the climate was still very humid. That day they served haggis (the Irish national meal that consists of cooked sheep’s head) at the hotel. The only comment I to that meal is that it will never be made or eaten in my house.

Day. 6: Scottish culture
Since my trip was coming to an end, I decided to use that day to take on some of the Irish culture. I went to a museum, where I got learn about the Irish instrument Bagpipe. There are evidences of that there was bagpipes in Scotland as early as 1581. When I was on my way out of the museum I just had to buy some souvenirs. I was lucky enough to find some nice kilts on sale. A “kilt” is a skirt-like Scottish outfit. The kilt has existed in Scotland since the 16th century.

Day. 7: Going home
Now, the last day of my vacation had come. Even though it had been a very interesting trip, it was very exhausting. I learned a lot about both Australian and Scottish culture, and that was my main goal on the trip. I really recommend everyone going on a trip like this. Thank you for following my blog. Goodbye for now.

Evaluation of Blood Diamond

I had heard about the movie Blood Diamond before, and I heard that it was really good. Even though it got good critics I never got myself to see the movie, but I definitely don’t regret seeing it. The movie is exciting from beginning to end, and it makes the viewer thinking about what just happened and what will happen next.
The movie is about a person that is in the blood-diamond business in South-Africa, called Danny Archer. He is a very greedy person, and all he thinks about is how to get more money. Danny meets a fisherman from South-Africa called Salomon Vandy. Salomon’s village gets invaded by a South-African resistance group. They burn down his village, and take his son. They brainwash him and make him one of their soldier. Salomon had to go work with the group in the search of diamonds. He finds a huge diamond that he hides. Danny hears about the diamond, and instantly wants to find it. Throughout the whole movie Salomon tries to find a way to get his son back, and Danny says he can help Salomon get his son back if he helps him find the diamond. They find the diamond, and Salomon finds his son. Danny’s plan was to get the diamond, and leave Salomon and his son, but Danny got shot, so instead he gives the Diamond to Salomon.
I think the movie was very exciting, and it makes you want to see more. The movie is based on a true story, and that really makes all the viewers open their eyes. It shows how awful the diamond industry can be. The movie had a lot of exciting changes, for example in the end, when Danny gives the diamond to Salomon. That shows that deep inside there was a good person, and that is a very good message. The movie was very dramatic. The music that was used fitted the scenes really well. All in all it was a great movie and i would recommend it for anyone.
