4. Narrative techniques
The text under analysis presents(представляет) a piece of narration \ description intercepted with dialogue ([ˈdaɪəlɔɡ] )\ monologue [ˈmɔnəlɔɡ]).
The thread ([θred] нить)\ line of narration is frequently([ˈfri:kwəntlɪ] часто) broken \ intercepted ([̘ɪntəsept] перехватывать, прерывается) with the author's digressions in which he philosophizes on the problem touched \ gives his own interpretation of the issue.
The line of the narration is sometimes deliberately ([dɪˈlɪbərɪtlɪ] сознательно, умышленно) broken to create the special effect of fragmentariness( фрагментарности).
The author uses \ makes use of the middle-from-the-beginning \ beginning-from-the-middle technique.
The reader is plunged([plʌndʒ] погружаться) into the narration as if he were familiar([fəˈmɪljə] знаком) with the situation. It helps the author attract the reader's attention \ make the reader himself a protagonist([prəuˈtæɡənɪst] главный герой) of the story.
5. Making a sort of conclusion([kənˈklu:ʒən] заключение) I`d like to say that this book doesn`t claim([kleɪm] претендовать, требовать) to be a masterpiece([ˈmɑ:stəpi:s] шедевр) but it involves([ɪnˈvɔlv] затрагивает, содержит) a number of interesting reflections([rɪˈflekʃən] мысль, размышление) that`s why it`s worth reading.
