Short Story 2: Lamb to the Slaughter

What do you remember about plot?

Who is this?

How would you describe his character?

How do we know this?

4 ways to show what a character is like:

1. What they say
2. What they do (/think / feel)
3. What they look like (physically)
4. What another character says / thinks about them

Characters can be....

Dynamic: grow or develop during the action

Static: remain the same throughout the action

Flat: have one or two traits, can be summed up in one sentence

Round: complex and many-sided

Is Voldemort's character:

1. dynamic & flat
2. static & flat
3. dynamic & round
4. static & round

Protagonist 

Antagonist

Antagonist: can be another person or persons, but also nature, environment, etc.

CONFLICT: 4 types

1. Man vs. man: physical (struggle against another person, animal, being)
2. Man vs. circumstances: classical (fate, life's circumstances)
3. Man vs. society: social (ideas, practices, custums of other people)
4. Man vs. themselves: psychological (their own soul, thoughts, ideas, choices, mental health, physical limitations)

Articles

Articles zijn in het Nederlands lidwoorden zoals de, het en een.

Het Engels kent twee soorten lidwoorden: 

het bepaald lidwoord the en de onbepaalde lidwoorden a en an.

Waar we in het Nederlands 'de' of 'het' gebruiken, gebruikt het Engels alleen the.

De regels

- Je gebruikt a of an als je het over iets of iemand in het algemeen hebt. Net zoals bij het Nederlandse 'een'.

- A gebruik je als de eerste letter van het woord dat volgt als een medeklinker wordt uitgesproken, ook al schrijf je een klinker!

- An gebruik je als de eerste letter van het woord dat volgt als een klinker wordt uitgesproken, ook al schrijf je een medeklinker!

- Als je in het algemeen iets in het meervoud wilt zeggen, laat je het lidwoord weg (girls are smart)

De regels

- The is het bepaald lidwoord, oftewel het definite article. 

Het kan zowel bij enkelvoud als bij meervoud gebruikt worden.

- Het lidwoord the maakt van een zelfstandig naamwoord een specifiek exemplaar. Net zoals het Nederlandse 'de' of 'het'.

- Lees pagina 8-9 voor meer regels
