And i really get a sense of the Twains story.. ALso i enjoyd to humour which to me really gave it a diary-sound to it. Because to me a postcard is usually about how great everything is and how tanned you are getting! <br />So i really got the sense that "Diane" wrote this to herself, and the very personal coments about what the other people would enjoy were also awesome!Malenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06419496798894758819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613111077058309449.post-2673006228920529812010-01-03T20:58:45.078+01:002010-01-03T20:58:45.078+01:00My title for the ‘postcard’ would be “The non-dram...My title for the ‘postcard’ would be “The non-dramatic life of Diana”. The choice of the title is due to the non-dramatic ‘adventure’ she and her family experiences. The objective of the story was to portray Diana as a woman who, despite the few internal jokes, actually leads a typically boring life.<br /><br />I would agree that this short story appears more as a postcard than real travel writing. My intention, however, was not to make it appear as though it was a postcard but more or less like a diary, which apparently did not come across very good My inspiration was Mark Twain’s version of travel writing, chapter twelve of “The Innocents Abroad or the New Pilgrims Progress” which we once read. In this chapter I felt that it appeared to be a diary. In continuance, Diana also held several expectations of her experiences of Denmark, but like Mark Twain they were all shot down by reality.<br />In retrospect, I would have made use of quest and picaresque and made the story appear more like a ‘story’.<br /><br />I relation to the incorporation of the birds, I found it very difficult to make them a natural part of the story.Jeanetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724597386943827150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613111077058309449.post-60477302569478704302009-10-21T16:43:04.310+02:002009-10-21T16:43:04.310+02:00I particularly liked the Oreo's and Petite D&#...I particularly liked the Oreo's and Petite D'anon mentioning. :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13922400278572305355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613111077058309449.post-86157537247643143462009-10-20T21:42:27.636+02:002009-10-20T21:42:27.636+02:00More of a postcard home than real travel writing.....More of a postcard home than real travel writing... Some of the ingredients were well integrated and done with fine humour (the lipstick, the dress-up costumes), but the birds were not done so well, for instance.<br />Where is the title?Benthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845712266620744382noreply@blogger.com
