4. Example:
The girl hesitates, ‘Jess left.’
‘Oh.’
‘You a friend?’
‘Cousin.’
‘Didn’t even leave an address.’
She looks you up and down. ‘I suppose you’d
better come in.’ You look up and down the street and
wonder whether you should just leave.
From "24 Hours" by Philippa J. Burne
5. INTERTEXT
- Intertextuality is the shaping of a text's meaning
by another text.
- It is the interconnection between similar or
related works of literature that reflect and
influence an audience's interpretation of the
text.
6. Example:
JK Rowling’s "Harry Potter Series" and JRR
Tolkien’s "Lord of the Rings Trilogy."
Both texts use wise wizards as the
protagonist’s mentor (Gandalf in LOTR and
Dumbledore in Harry Potter), this is an
example of intertextuality.
