Oktober

Oktober er en festperiode som forbindes med øldrikking, sex og annen moro. Den første dagen i oktober er imidlertid reservert til å våkne opp etter sommerfesten.

Short Story Analysis In this essay I am going to analyze the short story Empty Seat. First I am going to look at the setting in of the story because I felt bad for the girl in the story, which I will get back to. Secondly I will look at the plot of the story because then the reader will relate to the protagonist. Thirdly I will look at the point of view, because then the reader can set themselves in the protagonistsprotagonists’ situation. Fourthly I will look at the theme or themes in the story. Finally I will conclude the with my opinions on the short story. The setting is in modern time in a bus. I think it is in the North-West because there are not many people on the bus. Expain?It may be after or before working hours on the day. Anthing from the text that can attest to this? This sets the mood to as everybody is either sleepy or tired. The mood is awkward and weird because there is a girl or woman crying there. This belongs in a paragraph by itself. One idea,one paragraph.The plot is that a guy walks onto a bus and spots an open seat, so he sits down and realizes a weird sound, which turn out to be someone crying, the woman next to him. More. The climax is when many people look at him and he stands up. The point of view is first person which makes it more personal to read, you get closer to the action, and more in depth on the protagonist. The themes are society, and how easy it is to be judged in public without you sharing your story. I think it is a good short story, because you can learn something. You can learn not to judge someone unless you know them. Great ideas but you are not exploring them deep enough. We can talk on Friday.

Framtida for Oktober

Noen grupperinger har de siste ti årene gått inn for å oppheve oktober og de tilhørende festlighetene. For eksempel har foreningen "Vi vælger os April" foreslått at hele tiden som oktober benytter skal overføres som en forlengelse av april måned. Andre store grupper avviser dette og spør "Når skal Oktoberfesten holdes da, lizzom?". RV har også motsatt seg flyttingen, og henviser til at de har hevd på uttrykket Rød Oktober.
