AktuellesHomework!!! Homework for Thursday, 7th May:
"The early humans in northerly areas had to survive during cold winters when there were no plant foods and were forced to hunt big game", he says. "And people in south-east Europe had less of the proteins, minerals and vitamins provided by meat, which are essential for brain development." The geographical differences in intelligence across Britain could be explained because "over the course of centuries many of the brightest have left the regions to seek their fortune in London. Once in the capital, they have settled and reared children, and these children have inherited their high intelligence and transmitted it to further generations." |

Looking at Narrative Texts
Setting
Basically the setting of a novel/story is the time, place and background that the narrator creates. The setting influences the readers' expectations, especially at the beginning of novels / chapters, and it helps to create a certain atmosphere (adjectives, characters, symbols, connotations of words that are used also contribute to atmosphere)
Characterization
Vocabulary and How-to ....
Flat vs. round characters
E.M. Forster. Aspects of the Novel, Harmondsworth 1976 (11927), pp. 72 and 80
"We may divide characters into flat and round. Flat characters … are sometimes called types, and sometimes caricatures. In their purest form, they are constructed round a single idea or quality: when there is more than one factor in them, we get the beginning of the curve towards the round. The real flat character can be expressed in one sentence …. The test of a round character is whether it is capable of surprising in a convincing way. "
This clearly shows the differences between
Flat Character:
- lack of a realistic personality
- description might be detailed, but reveals no complex personality
- "flat" is not negative, but simply says the character can be summed up in one sentence
- shows little or no development.
Round character:
- complex and realistic
- represents a fully developed, complex personality
- often shows good and bad traits, interior conflicts, may react unexpectedly
- usually true for main characters
- clear development throughout the story
