Hallo!
ich weiß nicht ob jemand dazu Lust hat. Aber wenn, dann wäre es nett wenn jemand die Zusammenfassung, die ich geschieben habe, durchlesen würde und mich auf die "dicksten" Grammatikfehler aufmerksam machen würde.
Die Zusammenfassung stammt von dem Buch "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning". Es geht um den jungen Mann Arthur, der eine Beziehung mit zwei Verheirateten Frauen, Brenda und Winnie, hat. Gleichzeitig hat er noch eine Beziehung mit einer anderen Frau namens Doreen am laufen.
Also, ich würde mich sehr freuen!
The chapter began with Doreen and her view about her relationship to Arthur. Doreen seemed to be in love with Arthur. She was convinced that her Relationship with Arthur has a future. With pride she told her colleagues from the young man who she got to know. But Arthur’s view about Doreen was different. He thought that she is really nice, but he did not want to begin a courtship, as well he was frightened that one day he could be imprisoned in a marriage. And there was the relationship to Brenda and Winnie, which gave him the excitement which he meant to need. He played off one women against the other. Winnie knew about Brenda and Arthur, but Brenda did know nothing about Winnie and him.
In the next passage Arthur was waiting for Doreen. While he waited he thought about Goose Fair, a festival at the next weekend. He knew that Doreen would ask him if they go together to Goose Fair, but Arthur had Brenda and Winnie already promised to go with them.
Then Doreen arrived and they spent the evening together. On the way to Doreen’s home they spoke about Goose Fair. At first Arthur tried to detract from Goose Fair and told her from a childhood memory which he had at Goose Fair, but a last Doreen asked him if they went to it on Saturday. Arthur told her that he had no time at Saturday, of course he told nothing from Brenda and Winnie. Instead of that he told her that he promised to his mate to went to a Workshop with him. So they agreed on going Thursday, because at Friday Doreen has no time. Doreen was disappointed for not going on Saturday. She had hoped that at Goose Fair her colleagues from the factory would see her with her new boyfriend. But on Thursday the Fair was not so crowded than on Saturday, so the most of her colleagues would go on Saturday.
At Saturday he met Brenda and Winnie at Goose Fair. At first they saunter a little bit and Arthur bought them paper sailor hats, one for Winnie with the sentence “Kiss me quick” and one for Brenda with the text “You’ ve had it’”. The three had fun at Goose Fair. Arthur compared this night with Thursday, when he had been out with Doreen and came to the end, that he did not had so much fun on Thursday night.
Further they “roll pennies”, went to see the side- shows and played darts.
Afterwards they went to the Ghost Train. Arthur made fun about the fear of the other and joked that he want his money back because he could not see anything what is creepy because of the darkness.
Then he heard girls in front of them laughing, Arthur stepped out of the train ran a few yards in front, achieved the girls and scared them. When he wanted back to Brenda and Winnie he stepped in the wrong train. The man and the girl in this train became frightened, because they did not know what happened. Arthur had fun to scare them, the man in the train try to calm the women. But Arthur did not stop to scare them and told such nice things like “ I want a drink o’ blood” and “I’m Jack the Ripper”. Then they come to a turning where a skeleton hang. Arthur wanted to hit the skeleton and suddenly was trapped in it. He struggled with it and at last he joked that he had won and beat the skeleton. After this the Ghost Train trip was over and he went to the next roundabout with Brenda and Winnie. Where the crowed was thickest he kissed Winnie or Brenda when one of them had her back turned.
A little time later they stood by a stall and drunk tea when Arthur suddenly saw Doreen between the people. But as fast as she appeared she also disappeared from his sight. He had tried to greet her but she was away.
When they finished drinking tea they went to other roundabouts like the “Cake Walk” and “Helter Skelter”. The “Helter Skelter” was a high tower with a big slide. They soared up the tower and at fist Winnie slid down, then Brenda and at last Arthur. On the way down the minute- long journey seemed to him like a life- time. A lot of thoughts tried to enter his mind and when he came to the end he felt relaxed that it was nearly over.
As Arthur arrived down Jack, Winnie’s husband Bill and his friend stood by Brenda and Winnie. Bill’s face was swelling with rage and he leaped out of the crowed with the clear intention of strangling Arthur. In no time Arthur went on the run and he accomplished to receive the crowd and lost among the people.
