We will practise how to analyse texts from different genres: A TED-talk, a short story, a poem, a spoken word film, a feature film and an excerpt from a novel. We will pay special attention to the differernt aspects that may affect our identities and chances to express these such as race, friends and families, environment, gender and sexuality.

Titel 2 English 2 Trad. Am. values and beliefs EKSAMEN

This topic takes its starting point in three pairs of traditional American values (as outlined by Kearny et al): Individual Freedom & Self-Reliance, Equality of Opportunity & Competition, and Material Wealth & Hard Work, and, not least, the notion of the 'American Dream'. Most of the texts we are going to read will be viewed in this context, and we will also look at the birth of a nation/a nation of immigrants and to an extent at whether the American Dream is available to everyone in equal measures.

We will finish off with a contemporary view on Australia and present day racism and culture clashes as seen in the documentary 'The Australian Dream'.

We will be working with different genres, both fiction and non-fiiction and will continue to practice analysing these different types of texts + work with new vocabulary from this topic.
