Guten Abend,
wir sollen in Englisch eine Charakterisierung während der Homeoffice-Zeit verfassen, es ist schon etwas länger her, dass ich so etwaiges getan habe, was denkt ihr?
characterization: Shetler
Shelter is from the novel “Stone Cold”, published in 1993 by the “Klett English Editions”, written by Robert Swindells, is about Link and his life on the streets of London. Shelter appears as an antagonist, playing his role as an ex-armed serial-killer.
Outer appearance:
Shelter is 47 years old; Link describes him as a really strong and heavy, but not fat, just musculus man, which would fit to his army career. His eyes are mad looking. Any other appearances were not named in the book.
Inner appearance:
Shelter is a very tidy and very structured in all his doings. He also has a very tidy Room (compare: Page 106, (DRO 15 – Link) ”The room smelled of polish and was so tidy it looked like nobody used it.”) He is also cold-blooded, malicious, and dreadful, because he randomly kills homeless and call this process “clean-up”. He obviously is a patriotist because he wants to defend his country from every threat. And thinks that killing as a soldier is legitime in war, so he thinks clean the streets from the homeless also must be legitime (Page 33 DRO 6 – Shelter).
He is ex-armed and cannot understand, why they chuckled him out of the army, he received a letter saying that he was chuckled caused by health problems, we see why he had been chuckled out, because of his mental illness. He did not see, he thinks, that they did not want him any longer in the army.
His speech is very militarized and pregnant. In contrast to the all-day speech, hypotactic sentence structures are less used.
I think that Shelter is a well described character for the function as an antagonist, without showing any empathy.
(Auch wenn einige von euch den Inhalt nicht kennen können sie auch gerne auf Grammatische Richtigkeit oder Verständlichkeit eingehen.:-))
Freue mich über jede Antwort!
