Because It Is Running by

Because It Is ravel By 2. Delprove A. This is Edie, Wil, said his mother. Shes going to be helping me out. When was this decided? he said. Edie meets Wil, opposites meet. In Because It Is Running By these two important characters, Wil and Edie, meet when Wils mother hires Edie to help out with some chores. As the first quote might allude to, Wil is not very(prenominal) happy with Edie coming into his life. counterbalancetually Wil seems to accept Edie as they spend some time together and get to talk. One thing leads to another and one mean solar day Wil invites Edie out and buys her a drink.When Wil realizes that Edie is leaving soon, he accuses his mother of throwing Edie out of the house. Edie is heading for Marrakesh, Morocco and, as the schoolbook ends, Wil is with Edie and Wil suggests that he could go to Morocco. Wil is a young man who is not in his teenage years anymore. He lives with his mother and has probably done so most of his life. We know that he has never left Great Britain and, at this point, the only woman in his life is his mother. We dont know much of Edies past. We only know of where she is now and where shes going.These two briny characters have completely different approaches to life. Edie is staying with his mother where everything is safe, while Edie dares to enter new areas unknowing of what will happen. Never been abroad. Never been on an aeroplane. Im nevertheless a fucking peasant. Dont do that, she said. I seen you deliberateing it, he said. With your Pernod and your fancy accent I think you are where you are. I think this is a very interesting dialogue between Wil and Edie, which gives us some idea of who our main characters are, especially Wil.Wil is very much aware of his lifestyle, within the galosh borders, and the dialogue might indicate that he is somewhat ashamed of it. When later, he says that I could go to Morocco, he is probably fascinated by Edie and her way of life. He wants to see what happens if you le ave the comfort zone. All in all, the last sentence of the text basically sums up Wils way of life things continuing in the same way. While Edie is the opposite who has only been at their place during summer, until she is moving on to another distant location which is fascinating to Wil.There are several(prenominal) themes in this text relationship between a mother and her son, relationship between a boy and a girl. entirely in my opinion the main theme is breaking the comfort zone or, as the old Latin phrase goes, Carpe Diem seize the day. Wil probably had his reasons for alimentation with his mom, but if youre too frightened to go anywhere else, who knows, you might just end up dying as the same fucking peasant that you have been your entire life. The title of the text, Because It Is Running By, could refer to Wil who is just letting life run by, instead of getting the best out of it and becoming a part of it.Text 4, Making the stopping point to take a gap year, deals with this matter. There are many things to worry about when leaving the comfort zone, such as loneliness and language problems. But all these factors are just a part of the adventure that life is supposed to be. You cant know what experiences youre missing out if youre well pleased with where you are. Its our life and our responsibility to get the best out of it seize the day or die regretting the time you lost. Picture 1, want Freedom, shows a man leaning, with his arms, against the window and a dove painted on the wall.Like Wil and Edie the man and the dove are opposites. Since there are no interdict on the window we can conclude that he is not in prison. But then again, this man has probably imprisoned himself, by not living life to the fullest. He has only spectated life from the sidelines, but he doesnt dare to go to the other side of that window and experience what its like. The dove, on the other hand, is completely free. And the dove knows what to do to survive. Its mother m ight have fed it at first, but eventually it has to live life on its own.Even if that means going to dangerous territories to find food, the dove knows that it must be done in order to survive. It doesnt wait in its own prison and end up dying in regret. Which way of life would you rather imitate? B. Because It Is Running By is a text which is basically built up of dialogues, with remarks from a narrator. Since there are many dialogues in the text, it is written in colloquial language. That means a large amount of very short sentences, which arent necessarily grammatically correct. An example of this is the above-mentioned dialogue Never been abroad. Never been on an aeroplane.Im just a fucking peasant. Dont do that, she said. I seen you thinking it, he said. However, typical slang used in colloquial language, such as gonna and wanna is not used in the text. The text is not written with formal language and there are very few difficult words. The text can be rather annoying to rea d, cod to the fact that there are many stops throughout the text, caused by small sentences. Also, Wil often jumps from one subject to another, which can be frustrating for the reader. 1 . Song Avenged Sevenfold Seize The Day
