The story is about a family, who gets another son, that they name Nick. Nick was the mother’s favorite, but in the age of seventeen, he is killed in an accident moped and a lorry. Then the family had to decide to if the respirator should be turned of, and if his organs should be donated to people in need. They decide to turn the respirator off and give the heart away. Mark then finds out that it was given to a 40-year-old woman.

Themes of the story:

Grief

Family relations

Death

Life

Undying love

Setting:

A realistic story, which easily could take place.

It takes place on a farm, on the road and in the end at the hospital.

The text describes the way an old English farm works, and how the social environment was at the time.

The setting isn’t very important for our understanding of the characters.

Narration:

The narrator of this story is Nick’s youngest older brother Mark, and he is telling the story as a third-person narrator. We think that mark is telling the story as a 22 year-old. He is telling the story as a restricted narrator as he only knows his own thoughts. He is describing the story.

Car trip to Harzen

Car trip to Harzen

We have been looking forward to this trip for several of months. We were 4 guys who wanted to drink some beers therefore we took a “beertrip” through Germany. Firstly we started in Holbæk, and we drove on the road for several hours, to our second destination – the German border. Here we bought a lot of German beers. Moreover we also bought some “karrywursts” with “sauerkraut” furthermore there were also carry ketchup. Our next destination was Reeperbahn in Hamburg – in addition Reeperbahn is a famous bar street in Hamburg. There we were drinking beers and having fun! We had a lot of fun, however we got some seriously “hangovers”.

So if you want to go out with some of your friends, we will say that Hamburg is a lovely city to visit. Firstly because it is a city with many shops and bars. And secondly because the over there are very kindly. Then we wanted to see some other things we Germany, and as you know there is a lot of beautiful attractions, so we couldn’t agree about a destination. But in the end our friend Lasse decided that the next destination before Harzen should be: “Hannover Autoshow” we all were ready for that, because...You know guys! So we drove down there and as we came to the city, we could see a lot of different beautiful cars. Not just normal cars, there were old, new, expensive, cheap etc. We stayed there the whole day, and it was VERY interesting and funny. So if you love cars and like good food, then you have to visit “Hannover Autoshow”. Our next and last destination was Harzen. The district was very beautiful, and it must have been beautiful because we telling this, because as we said before we are guys.

We don’t think that a flower or just something that looks like is beautiful, but this district was.

We stayed here for a week, and we lived in a good house, and we had a terrific time. We drank, went out on experience trips, chilled, and a lot other things.

In conclusion of our whole trip, we can conclude that Germany is a wonderful country to visit!

Going southbound.. Barcelona

Going southbound? We are going to Barcelona!

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, and furthermore it has lots of culture, nice beaches, crazy and yet sophisticated nightlife and of course.. The city is famous for its football team, FC Barcelona. And as they say in Catalonia: “Més que un club”, “There is only one club”.

Art, culture, science and entertainment come together in Barcelona's museums: In the Egyptian museum, you can see many interesting things. Among these, especially mummies from ancient times.

It is the ultimate place for the whole family, where every need can be met. Barcelona is full of shopping centers and interesting markets for the ladies, secondly Barcelona also has a great variety of sports for the gents. The city also has a pulsating nightlife, where young folks can party all night, listen to world’s top DJ’s, and walk home during the beautiful sunrise, that only makes Barcelona’s streets even prettier. Barcelona is the city that never sleeps.

If you are a traditional family, this is the place to go this summer. The city is renowned for its friendly inhabitants, however the architecture is a must see. We could use several pages just to mention a few, but the absolute highlights must be the cathedral, build between the 13th and 15th century. It is a massive attraction, so come early if you want to see it all. Not all of the cathedral is available for public, because of the great renovation going on. It is first expected to be finish in 2022.

You can immerse yourself in this city. And one week will not be enough. Barcelona got it all.

So to summarize; Barcelona, capital of Catalonia is famous for its great architecture, amazing sports events and a pulsating nightlife. And that makes the city worth a visit (or several!)

Croatia

Travel writing


Firstly we would like to state that even though Croatia isnt the most popular holiday place, it is a very nice place to spend your time. It is not too populated with tourist, if you choose to live outside the very big towns. Croatia is a contry of great culture, and when you visit the contry, and travel a bit outside the commen places, you will see how the people live in Croatia. The normal lives isnt very affected by the tourism yet.

Croatia isnt affected by the global euro infection, and with this we mean that they have their own speciel valuta. But on the other hand, if you want to experience that, you will have to do it soon, because this is one of the things that they may lose.

The contry is affected by poverty, and this has forced alot of people to turn into street sellers, where they sell mostly things that they have made by themselves. So this can be a bit annoying, but also interresting to see.

With this we can conclude that Croatia is worth a stop, and worth visiting. You can have great fun, whether you want to lay by the pool all day, or if you want to get out and see things, and meet new culture.

A Holiday in Thailand

Therefore should you travel to Thailand?
Tilføj billedeAt first Thailand has a lot of learning experience for people who like to have an experience holiday. For example elephant riding, safari trips, the many temples and lastely the beautiful nature. But on the other hand, Thailand is also a country where you can relax on the wonderful beaches, or with a good thaimassage. In addition you can also go diving in the coral reef, which is a very beautiful experience. In Thailand the food is very healthy, strong and special. There is many different tasty suops and different kind of vegtables and rise. Equalli the Thailand food is an very big experience insted of Italy, where the food is like the food we are eating here in Denmark. One of the most used spices in Thaland is chili, ginger, garlic and carry. But they also use special ingredientse as bamboo, museels and snails. The Thailand food is spicy and strong but you can choose as strong as you like it.
At next we have to conclude that we know Thailand have a very nice and lovely wetter, so you can have sun on your body all day long. On the other hand Thailand has some nice beaches and a lot of eventful trips, and also a nice and lovely nature that brings you out of many different safaris. Apart from many other countries do Thailand has a very different culture from the culture that we are used to, and it gives us a very big experience also.

So finally Thailand is the best!!! However you think so or not, as long as we said that Thailand is the best then it is.

Italy

Italy is an attractive place for both family and young people. Italy offers long sunny days with fabulous Italian food. Late night walks on the beach with the sunset in your back, and the wind in your hair, it is worth experiencing. Last summer I spend the 14 most amazing days of my life in Italy with my boyfriend. Firstly I have never seen a place more romantic than Italy's beaches, and secondly I cannot even describe the view we had to the mountains around the sea. Beside the great landscape there is also some afternoon activity’s like renting a car and driving, or shopping some of the worlds best designers labels, or just relaxing at a café with some live music. If you enjoy spoiling yourself or your significant other, you can chose to go to a stress relieving spa. On the other hand, if you are the more active kind of person, there is a city full of opportunity’s, only for you to discover.

Trip to New York

New York, the city where the Statue Of Liberty raises her torch as the symbol of encouragement to all Americans.
Firstly i would like to say that New York is the place, and i would like to state that the inhabitants of New York is the nicest people, in the world.
Besides the fact that they live too close for comfort, they still manage to give a smile to passersby on the run.
Additionally the tourists, who are visiting New York, are greeted with a warm heart, and countless of possibilities, to experience and explore, the streets and attractions of New York City.
On the other hand, if you are on the hunt for a urban soulmate, the city's pub's, restaurents, Café's and disco's, is loaded with fit women, and macho men.
Therefore i can conclude, that New York City, is definitely a must see for every, young or old, with respect for them selves.

Peace out folks!

Egypt

We want to tell about one of the most fantastic places in the world, Egypt. Firstly it is important to know, what the best places to go in Egypt is. Secondly it is important to have good company on your holiday. Egypt has a lot of attractions and very nice hotels. The first thing we went to see was the big and very famous pyramids.

The second thing we noticed was the camels. People were just walking with them in the streets. Some of the people with the camels asked us if we wanted to try riding one of them. But we kindly said: No, but thanks for the offer. It was only because we were out shopping, and did not want to leave our bags and we could not bring them.

Lastly we just want to say that going to Egypt was a very good holiday, and would like to advice others to visit the beautiful country of Egypt.

In the summer of 69

On a long and lonesome highway, there we were. Backpacking, on our way through the dark of Jutland On our way to see Brian Adams. He was giving a concert in Gigantium, in Aalborg. On our way through Jutland, we were all of a sudden got, very hungry. Firstly our stomachs began to rattle, and then we heard a person scream! but it was just Anne who had seen a spider. Then we had to find a diner because, we were starving. So we found a diner called Tage's Pølsebod. However had the best sausages, and hotdogs Then a man wanted to give us a lift. And after some time of thinking, we said yes. Luckily he should to the Brian Adams concert too.
The car was big. And kind of creepy, I think it was a Chevrolet. To loosen up the atmosphere, he put some music on, it was Brian Adams, with the song summer of 69, but further on he told us about things he had done in his summer of 69. And we couldn't tell him what we had done because we weren't born. But he had some good stories to tell us, and it wasn’t boring and on the other hand, we were entertaint, anyways we got out to the Gigantium. And finally it was a great concert.
So to sum up, it was difficult to arrive to the concert, but it was a damn good concert.
So as wise men says: What’s worth the prize is always worth the fight.

Dream vacation; Paris

Have you ever wanted to go to heaven on earth?

A trip to Paris, the world’s centre of love, could very well be what you have been searching for.

When we went there, firstly, we wanted to experience the rich cultural environment; therefore we went to both the Eiffel tower and Louvre. Secondly, we also went there to shop in the capital of fashion. The possibilities we had there were magnificent, for example we could drive for an hour, and get to an old vineyard where we could taste all the wine we wanted to, on the other hand we could also just stay in town and eat in the finest restaurant that I have ever seen. Alternately we could go to a theme park, perhaps Disneyland, that were within our reach. Children would love to go to Disneyland and meet Mickey, Minnie, Donald or Goofy. We also had the greatest time riding all the rides there, and whereas you often get tired of the other theme parks, you could stay in Disneyland forever.

Even the trip there was easy; we flew directly to Charles de Gaulle, where we rented a car to get the most freedom we could.

To sum up we would really recommend Paris to all of you, as we had the time of our lives there.

Travel: awesome MC trip of Route 66


this travel is quite awesome, however it does take alot of time, therefor me and my friend decided to take the 2 months long trip (can change due to weather and such) along route 66, starting at Chicago and ends in the city of angels L.A.
through this trip you will cross alot of interesting cities, like Springfield, Oklahoma City, St. Louis, etc. etc.
Firstly we started at Chicago, where we rented two Harleys, then went to the MC D and got some cheeseburgers, thus it was late and dark, and Chicago can be a dangerous city when the night has come, unless you can take care of yourself.
Afterwards we took our Harleys and started the fantastic trip of Route 66, it was dark, but the city lights were shining, its was late night/early morning, and in the horisont we could see the sun getting up, alternately we could have waited in chicago, till it was daytime, but we wanted to see the sun rising, while we were riding our bikes through the legendary Route 66.
Our first stop was in St. Louis where we stayed a few days, to discover the city and its nightlife.
after a few days there with a giant hangover we continued our ride through USA, where we met some indians who were running an indian casino, so we stopped and checked the facilities, but we went out with empty pockets.
