Q

there’s no doubt that violence is a universal theme

A

níl aon dabht ach gur téama uilíoch é an foréigean

32
Q

stories like this were far too common in the North during the troubles

A

Bhí scéalta mar seo i bhfad róchoitianta ar fud an Tuaiscirt i rith na dTrioblóidí

33
Q

As a result it’s true that this is a universal theme being discussed

A

Mar sin, is fíor gur téama uilíoch atá faoi chaibidil sa ghearrscéal seo

34
Q

the author should stick to the same theme from the start to the end of the story

A

ba chóir go gcloifeadh an t-údar leis an téama ó thus go deireadh an scéil

35
Q

there’s a continuation and development of the theme from the start to the end of the story

A

Tá leanúnachas agus forbairt ar an téama ó thús go deireadh an scéil

36
Q

we feel the tension earlier on in the story even though we get a shock at the end

A

mothaimid an teannas níos luaithe sa scéal cé go mbaintear geit asainn ar deireadh

37
Q

from time to time, small tricks are used to direct the reader’s attention to the subject of the story

A

Ó am go chéile, úsáidtear seifteanna beaga le haird an léitheora a dhíriú ar ábhar an scéil

38
Q

we see effective tricks in this story for example direct speech, minor details, and a twist

A

Feicimid seifteanna éifeachtacha sa scéal seo mar shampla an chaint dhíreach, an mionsonraí, agus an casadh

39
Q

they draw the attention of the reader on the subject and on the theme

A

Tarraingíonn siad seo aird an léitheora ar an ábhar agus ar an téama

40
Q

we get a great insight into the main character Jimmy in this story, another thing that inspires the reader’s interest in his terrible fate

A

faighimid léargas iontach ar an bpríomhcharactar Jimmy sa scéal sei, rud eile a mhúsclaíonn suim an léitheora ina chinniúint uafásach

41
Q

through the other minor characters and the contact that he has with them, the reader gets to know jimmy very well

A

Tríd na mioncharachtair eile agus an teagmháil atá aige leo, cuireann an léitheoir aithne an-mhaith ar Jimmy

42
Q

we ourselves feel very sad at the end of the short story

A

braithimid féin an-brónagh ag deireadh an ghéarrscéil

43
Q

there should be realism in the subject of the story

A

ba chóir go mbeadh réalachas in ábhar an scéil

44
Q

our TV screens and newspapers are packed full of stories about murder every single day, unfortunately

A

bíonn ár scáileáin teilifíse agus nuachtáin líon lán le scéalta faoin bhforéigean agus faoin dúnmharú gach aon lá ar an drochuair

45
Q

the love stands as a metaphorical foundation stone of the house

A

seasann an grá mar bhunchloch meafarach an tí

46
Q

this co-operation and understanding between the two illustrates the theme of love effectively

A

léiríonn an comhoibriú agus tuiscint seo idir an mbeirt acu téama an ghrá go héifeachtach

47
Q

the tension and violence is in the background constantly

A

bíonn an teannas agus an foréigean sa chúlra de shíor

48
Q

directly when Jimmy leaves the bar, the narration is transformed

A

díreach nuair a fhágann Jimmy an beár, tagann claochló ar an reacaireacht

49
Q

the atmosphere of the story changes

A

athraíonn atmasféar an scéil

50
Q

there’s a very hostile atmosphere to be felt in the ‘Jasmine Palace’ restaurant when the youths use ‘obscene, graphic, language.’

A

tá atmasféar an doichill le brath sa bhialann ‘Jasmine Palace’ nuair a bhaineann na stócaugh feidhm as ‘caint ghraosta, ghraifleach’.

51
Q

the swearing from the group illustrates that the story is turning in the direction of violence

A

léiríonn na heascainí ón ngrúpa seo go bhfuil an scéil ag casadh i dtreo an fhoréigin ag an bpointe seo

52
Q

it’s clear at this point that a scary, threatening life us concealed behind the ordinary life

A

is léir go bhfuil saol scanrúil, bagrach faoi cheilt taobh thiar den gnáthshaol laethúil

53
Q

at the end of the story, use is made of pathetic fallacy to emphasise the violent society

A

ag deireadh an scéil, baintear feidhm as fallás ba truamhéala chun béin a chur ar an sochaí foréigneach

54
Q

it seemed to him that the night had become really cold

A

‘Chonacthas dó gur éirish an oíche iontach fuar’

59
Q

A

B’fhear ionraic, dílis é féin ar ndóigh

A

Is mar gheall ar an aithne mhaith sun a bhraithimid an bhá agus an trua dó

70
Q

It could be said without a doubt that there’s a big contrast to be noticed between the title of the story and the end of the story

A

d’fhéadfaí a rá gan amhras go bhfuil codarsnacht mhór le tabhairt faoi deara idir teideal an scéil agus críoch an scéil

71
