1. Waar gaat het verhaal over?
1.1 Chance is a gardener, and has to move out of his house. No one knows who he is. Very soon he gets an accident and the woman in the car wants him to join her. In no time he becomes the world's most famous man, but he doesn't knows it himself.
1.2 I choose this book, because a friend of me has read the book, and told me that it was a nice book.
2. De personen
2.1 The main character is Chance, but other persons call him Chauncey Gardiner. He spent his whole life working in a garden. He is an orphan and a man called 'The Old Man' took care of him when he was very young. He has lived in total separation of the outer world, the only contact with it was his colour television and his radio. For that reason he is very unnoticed of the facts of the real world. For his thinking he always replies to the garden and the TV.
An other main character is EE, the woman who was in the car that ran down on Chance. She has a very expecting attitude, and after a while (in the book) she turns out to be a very important person. She falls in love with Chance. Benjamin Reed is EE's husband, seventy years old, the chairman of the 'The Financial Institute of America' who is about to make Chance a very important person.
2.5 I recognise the behaviour of E.E, because if I was with an older man who was dying, I think I could also fall in love with a younger man.
2.7.1 I don’t think there are any real serious problems in the book. I think chance doesn’t handle his problems very well. If everybody thinks that you know everything about the economy, and politics, while you don’t know a thing about it, I think I would say that I don’t know anything about it, because else everybody is going to ask you questions and you don’t know what the answer is.
2.7.2 I think E.E. is the most likeable person, because she is very nice to chance, even though she doesn’t know anything about him. She also does everything to make him feel comfortable.
2.9.1 I think no one is unlikeable in the story, because there aren’t many characters in the story. They are all nice to each other.
3 De tijd
3.1 Possibly the story takes place at the end of the1960’s.
3.2 The time isn’t important for the story, because it also could be set in this time.
3.4.1 Almost everything is the same in the 60’s as in this time. Only everything looks a little different, the clothes and cars for example, look different than now.
3.5 I didn’t knew that you can become famous that fast in the 60’s.
4. De plaats
4.1 The story is taken place in New York City, the town where the author had lived.
4.2 I knew that New York is a very big city with lots of high buildings. I also knew that the president lives in the White House.
4.3 The place doesn’t give the story an extra meaning
4.4 The story takes place in a very high and rich social class. In the story you don’t get to know what the climate is and if it’s winter or summer. Neither you get to know anything about the landscape. 4.5 The circumstances are the subject of the story, because the whole story is about chance getting famous. 5. Het vertelstandpunt 5.1 A third-person narrator tells the story. Most of the story is told from Chance's point of view, but some from other points of view. For instance E.E., who shares us her feelings for Chance. The story is told chronologically with a few flashbacks, for instance when Chance remembers something from a television program or something from his childhood. 5.2 I don’t think my view on the story and the characters are influences by the way of telling. 6. Wat wil het verhaal de lezer zeggen. 6.1 I don’t think the writer wants to bring his vision about something with the story. 6.4 I think you learn from the story, that any one can become famous. 7. Zou je nog eens een verhaal willen lezen 7.1 Yes, because he doesn’t write very difficult
7.2 I don’t know, because you don’t get much to know about that time
7.3 Yes, because you don’t get to know much about the place, and I like to know more about it. 7.4 No, because I am not really interested in politics and economy. Verwerkingsopdracht. E. de auteur Jerzy Kosinski
In June 1933 Kosinski was born in Lodz in Poland. All but two of his Polish-Jewish family members were killed during World War Two. Kosinski survived because he was sent to foster parents in the country. Still, the cruelty of the war changed him for good. When he was nine, he lost his voice as a result of severe beating, and regained it after the war. At the university where he studied he was often threatened, because he was against communism. In 1957 he escaped to the U.S.A. he was then twenty-four years old. In just half a year he learned English. He took all kinds of jobs (he also was a professor of English Prose and Criticism), married a rich widow, and became a successful writer. His first novel was "The Painted Bird", it was published in 1965 and based on his experiences during the war.
