20. Being in the Househusband
The extract I’m going to analize is from the text ‘’ Being in the Househusband’’ written by Hank Groves.
The extract is about a man, who bought her wife a present – a subscription to the women’s lip magazine ‘’Spare Rib’’ after their first child was born. She had read this magazine and decided to be a breadwinner. His wife back to work when the baby was fifteen month old. Her husband become a househusband. Finally he understood how it difficult to be a housewife. The main idea of the story is: don’t think that to be woman and housewife is easy.
The story is colored by SD:
Repetitions and synonyms (noise, make a baby, telephone, baby woke up, doorbell) create the atmosphere of running about and panic of the man character.
The words of low style (I thought I told you to go to hell) point out the exasperation of the main character.
During the story the author represent to us one of the actual problems of life.
By the way of conclusion I’d like to say that this story is very actual nowadays. I don’t think that this story is very sad, because it’s became normal for people.
19.Lost in the Post
The text I am going to analyse is headlined ‘’Lost in the Post’’ written by Philips.
Ainsley is a post-office sorter. He loves his wife and he is very jealous. He doesn’t like his wife’s cousin and he doesn’t won’t her to read his letters. Because of that he loses his job and his money. But his wife cleverer and in the end shows to him that nothing has happened.
SD: litotes-no man ever had less reason for jealousy than Ainsley. We know, that it couldn’t be true, but the author uses litotes to show Ainsley’s feelings. He wants us to believe that there wasn’t a man who had less reasons for jealousy than the main character
Similar-his wife was frank as the day – to show us how perfect Adela was.
Retardation-Adela got up…by the hand – to stir up the reader’s interest.
The main idea of this text is: don’t take other people’s letters/
Short consise sentences and lack of colours shows (express): simple life of simple people; Ainsley’s weak.
