Hi sabine, thank you so much for your help, I appreciate sister. Good luck for you too dear.

You're welcome sweet princess

Sabine, how about The Waste Land, have you studied it this year? (I'm thinking of something, I might email you )

P.S: N7ab nchoufkoum nachtin haka

You're welcome princess

Yes sassy we've dealt with it with Mr benamzal and I like it . we might prepare smth sister

the section I appreciated more was the second one i.e a game of chess especially when being thought by Prof Arab

Let's start with this part A Game of Chess which takes place in a pub in London. For the moment this is what came to my mind ( I must re-read it in order to write smth better )

1-One of modernist techniques used by Eliot in this section is what's called perspectivism ( a story told differently by many narrators) the question which might be asked is how many people have been heart talking in a Game of Chess?
You got five voices:the narrator , Lil, Lil's husband (Albert), Lil's friend and the barman's voice which is always interrupting by saying HURRY UP PLEASE, IT'S TIME . In this section we do not hear T.S Eliot's voice at all. we've no intervention of the author which is called authorial intrusion (impersonality)

2- another technique used is High culture and low culture ( you can find the explanation in Sassy's post https://blida-english.bbactif.com/t1889-modernism). In the section understudy, T.S Eliot used low culture i.e a common people register. All the language used is a colloquial language (mostly the Cockney dialect which is used in East London ins used in this section).

3- At the end of this extract we have intertextuality between T.S Eliot and Shakespeare. Eliot makes use of Shakespeare's play Hamlet

Goonight Bill. Goonight Lou. Goonight May. Goonight.
Ta ta. Goonight. Goonight.
Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night.

This is Ophelia's farewell before her suicide.

I'll be back with a stronger analysis

Hey Sabine !!! Amazing, thank you ! How about Lil's teeth ??? I remember this part taught by Mr Benamzal, it was hilarious

Can't wait to read the rest. Keep it up dear
