A Gap of Sky: a Story of a Girl Who Do Not Entertain Negativity
Titel ”A Gap of Sky” Engelsk aflevering forfatter: Anna Hope
Udgivet: 2008

The text is about a girl at university, that has to get an assignment done, before the day passes. But her problem is that she has no printer ink, so she tries to find it in a store that unfortunately is closed.

The composition is easy enough there is a beginning, middle, and an end.
The beginning of this text is at her home, where she wakes up after a long part night with alcohol and drugs of every kind.
In the middle, she suddenly remembers an assignment that she has to make, and starts running around after ink for her printer. She can’t decide if she’s going to make the assignment or not. She has the right to not do it, but if she doesn’t they might kick her out of school, and she don’t want that.
The end is where she clears things out, and decides what she wants to do.

The narrator of the story is on top of it all. We are in her head, we hear everything she’s saying to herself, and what she is thinking when she get’s down to the ink store, and their closed. We only get to go into her childhood a few times. Eks: “Her mother appears before her mind’s view: she is wearing the faded cheesecloth blouse Ellie loves best, those favourite jeans of hers”
It’s not a 1 persons narrator, because they don’t say I, but they use her name, every time they tell about her. This is mostly a monolog, because she isn’t talking to anyone other than herself. She is mostly in her own head, and all the information we get in te text, is something that she’s thinking or doing. The story is all about HER, there is no one else in the story, except the persons she mention her self.
There’s a lot of repetition in this text eks: “Ellie feels afraid. Nasty, brutish and short say the lines in Ellie’s head, nasty, brutish and short” the choice of words is young. It’s a young language, and words like Fuck are used a lot in this text.
The fact that this story was written in 2008,

    In the eighteen hundreds, life was very different from today. There were no televisions, washing machines, modern cooking ranges, or any modern appliance. Overall, life was much more difficult then than it is today. In these times, there were certain gender roles to which each respective sex had to adhere. There are certain gender roles even today, but these have evolved since earlier times. For example, in the 1800 's, women were expected to be the quintessential mother woman. They were expected to run the household, take care of the children, and adore the husband. The husband however, was expected to go out and work to provide for his wife and children. While these gender roles may seem unfair and stereotypical to a person today, they were a result of societal evolution, just like the roles further evolved to what they are today. Kate Chopin was born in 1851, and lived a mostly fortunate childhood, growing up exposed to many arts. She married at seventeen, and was a graduate. Her husband gave her much freedom to do what she pleased, and she utilized that freedom to become an author. She had six children by 1881, and she wrote The Awakening in 1899. Most of her writings had a slight feminine theme to them, for example, literary critic Patricia Bradley uses the example "the bird imagery Chopin uses to set the opening scene in The Awakening… to similar uses in George Bernard Shaw 's feminist essay "The Womanly Woman"" (Bradley 40). There is also a theme in Chopin 's writing, according to author Allen Stein that wives fail to find fulfillment in their marriages, and then are driven to adultery, desertions and suicide (Stein 357). The Awakening was not received well by the public however, and she eventually quit writing because of this. After that she dedicated herself to her family for the rest of her life, which ended the second of August, 1934. The novel The Awakening was about a woman who decided not to conform to the norms of society, and she…
