Have a look here and see a short summary in English on a review of a novel originally worked with during Danish lessons. Among other things the students were to analyze the novel they had read, and practise their skills in group work. The most important challenge for them was to find out whether the main character actually had developed personally or just gone as they put it – “from realiable to unrealiable?”
Summary of the novel
“Paradis tur – retur”.
This novel is about a girl who goes on a vacation with her family to Spain. Her name is Evelyn and she is from Denmark. She has a Danish boyfriend, his name is Adrian and he is the smart guy in their town. He is smart because he thinks about his health because he is a sports man.
When Evelyn goes to Spain she meets a guy, his name is Søren.
He plays a bit with her mind, so she begins to live her life full and do some things she never did before and she likes it.
Later in the novel, Søren tries to kiss her and she doesn’t say; sorry I have a boyfriend so we can only be friends.
In the beginning of the novel she missed her boyfriend a lot, and she was a bit negative all the time but after some days when Søren kissed her, she forgot all about her boyfriend.
At the end of the novel when she is back home in Denmark, she feels that she misses him a bit and her boyfriend Adrian can see that something is wrong, because she didn’t behave that way before she went on holiday.
The work in the group:
My experience of working in the group was good and I learned a lot of it. For instance discussing different points of view respect other people’s opinions and find out what your classmates expect from a novel.
The novel’s point is that a little experience can change some things in your life and lifestyle.
