Assignment 3

Find 6 adjektiver (tillægsord) i teksten, og gradbøj dem. Det første adjektiv (tillægsord) er indsat i skemaet som eksempel.

Auteur director Jamie Lloyd […] has set his sights on Shakespeare’s great tragedy, Romeo & Juliet, creating a sexy, intense, and haunting piece of theatre […].

There’s smoke, microphones, cameras, a fair amount of blood, and incredible star power in the form of Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, who is returning to the West End in his first major role since Billy Elliot in 2008. And what an entrance he is given. […]

The suspense is palpable and fans of the Hollywood actor are unlikely to be disappointed by Holland’s assured performance, which graduates from laddish confidence to rippling rage.

Eksempel: Every afternoon after lunch, before I return...
Every afternoon after lunch, before I returned...

Every afternoon after lunch, before I return to work in the upstairs study, I like to take a stroll along the familiar sidewalks of my neighborhood. Thoughts rise up in me, take odd turns, vanish like bits of smoke. At the same time I’m wide open to striking impressions – for example that ladder leaning against the side of a house, with its shadow hard and clean against the white shingles, which project a little, so that the shingle bottoms break the straight shadow-lines into slight zigzags […]. A single blade of grass sticks up from a crack in a driveway. I come to a sprawling old house at the corner, not far from the sidewalk. Its dark red paint is in need of a little touching up. Under the high front porch, on both sides of the steps, are those crisscross lattice panels, painted white. Through the diamond-shaped openings come pricker branches and the tips of ferns. From the sidewalk I can see the handle of an old hand mower, back there among the dark weeds. I can see something else: a slight movement. I step up to the porch, bend to peer through the lattice: I see three of them, seated on the ground. They turn their heads towards me and look away, begin to rise. In an instant they’re gone. My arms are rippling as I return to the sidewalk and continue my way.

Stephen Millhauser, “Phantoms”, 2011
