Sammenlign teksterne fra den kristne bøn.
Tekst 1 fra 1611 er beskrevet med et ældre sprog. Ordet Thy bliver brugt i beskrivelsen om Gud, istedet for yo eller your. Dette er bla. et tydeligt bevis på at denne bøn er ældre og gammel fordi dette ordbrug ikke høre til i sproget længere. Tekst 2 fra 2002 er ikke skrevet på modernes vis. Men Thy er slettet, og selve teksten virker mere ønskende og håbende. Den fremstår nærmere som en sang, og de mange udråbstegn gør den mere levende fremfor tekst 1. ok, men sig også noget om den slang der optræder i tekst 2.

Oversættelse:
A thirteen years old French girl, who was lying in a coma, awoke and spoke German fluently. It is rather strange, because her competences in German were not that good. She had only just begun to learn the subject in school, and had only seen a little German television. Since she awoke two weeks agoher parents have, howver, only succeeded in communicating with her in German. “Back in time you considered this a miracle. But personally I think that there is a completely logical explanation” says an expert on the area.

Because it is running by.

INTRO! The story takes place in England where Wil lives on a farm with lot of field together with his mom. They are alone living a poor life. Their father and husband died years ago, of throat cancer, after his dead most of the land was sold to the estate. Their mundane live involves hard work for the company called B&B. A girl called Edie comes by from London, she is going to help Wil and his mom in the summer time where they are busy working in the field. Wil is a young man who hasn’t built up a family and he is also without a girlfriend. His life is the field and the house were his mother and he have lived for many years. It´s like he is without joy in life because of his father´s death and therefore a big loss in life because of their economic situation, Wil hasn´t any skills from school because his life has circulated around the farm and the nearby population, so also he isn´t able to make something great happened, because he hasn´t got any fine education, or on the other hand he doesn´t want to for some reason.
It´s like the death of his father was a big loss that also made the rest of the family die with him. Wil and his mother are not talking out loud about their own suffering, instead they have learned to live with the fact that money isn´t a part of their live, only for the most important things like food and stuff. Also cigarettes are a big part of their life, they are mentioned several times in the text, and even though their father and husband died because of that they are still doing it. Maybe it´s because they are making the tobacco themselves, otherwise it would be very expensive to spend money on in a poor family. Wil is not okay with Edie staying at the place in the start, but later on he is okay with it. You get the feeling that he is attracted to her, because several times he mentions her lips. You don’t get the feeling that he is in love with her, because he is more focused on her body then her personality. You read his thoughts when he thinks about the other girls he has been with but they haven´t been important to him, because he can´t remember all of their names. In the end he talks about going with Edie to Morocco, it´s like he finds her very interesting because of her life which isn´t anything like his life. Maybe he falls a little in love with her, but also you get the feeling that he is out for trying something new in life, which is about time. Also he gets irritable on himself never being out in the world seeing other things than his life near the farm, on page 6 you see Will talking about his life like it´s stupid because he never has explored the world, and also he is criticizing Edie and her life because she is from a higher level and from inside London, maybe he does this only because he is jealous. Through the story it´s like Edie changes his view of exploring the world without being afraid of old values in the family.
Edie does control her own life, no one tells her what to do, and she drops out of school and goes to unknown people where she fits in with no problems to mention. Good enough she is ordering something different in the bar with Wil, but that doesn´t make her on a higher level than other, it´s only a view of bigger knowledge. They are like to people from different worlds even though they both live in England they seem to understand each other but don’t´t have much in common. Maybe they are a little jealous of each other’s life, any way they only complain about their own lives, but they want to experience the life they don’t have and haven´t explored each.
The story is named “Because It Is Rrunning By” because Wil is doing the same year after year, he has never stopped up and thought about the things he actually wanted to do, he has also worked after the family tradition and tried to make the farm and the field keep going, but never developed himself to do something that he would be proud of and live further on with a good feeling inside. Like the text says in the end, “things living, things dying, things continuing in the same way”. Wil has tried it all, lost his father, lost a fortune, lived further together with his mom and made things happened like they have been done for years before that. The time is running by, because the things are continuing in the same way. So maybe it is time for Wil to explore the world with Edie and not let the time go by.

Ok Anne. Din delprøve 1 er fin nok, men jeg skal lige minde dig om udtrykket ‘det lykkes nogen’, som på engelsk vendes rundt og bliver til ‘someone succeeds IN DOING something’. Glem det ikke. Sprogligt er dit essay præget af rigtig mange sjuskefejl, som jeg ellers synes du har haft bugt med de sidste par essays. Her er mange grove kongruensfejl og fejl i verbalformerne: husk nu – et udsagnsord efter ’have’ står i kort tillægsform, og et udsagnsord efter ’do’ står i navnemåde. Men du har rigtig fint styr på det der med præpositioner + ingform eller the fact. Til eksamen skal du altså virkelig afsætte tid til at gå sjuskefejlene igennem, sørge for at du bruger de rigtige former af verberne og sørge for at kongruensen er i orden (sæt evt. kryds og bolle i en kladde).
