After half an hour of trying to sign into Blogspot, I cannot remember what I was going to write.

Chronalogical topography:
Literal definition is the sequence or order of something. We looked at the first chapter of Khaled Hosseni's 'The Kite Runner' and noticed how that only in the first page, something significant has happened in 1985, before the present time. I found it interesting how the sequence of a text can have an impact on the story itself.

Speech:
This lesson was focusing on the different types of speech; mainly direct and indirect. Speech can have a big effect on a text, it can set past/present/future and it can be key to a story. It can be used in different ways too. In Khaled Hosseni's 'The Kite Runner', not only is there direct speech, but also speech which is indirect, which is more like a memory and written without speech marks. An overall usefull and interesting lesson.
