Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1.5 (A), University of Tubingen (English Seminar University, Tübingen), course: Version of Welsh, language: English, abstract: I have chosen the short story A Visit to Grandpa′s from Dylan Thomas′ book Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog because for me it reflects a close relation between himself as a child and the countryside of Wales and how he felt and what he experienced there. In my first section I want to point out the changes in Dylan Thomas′s writing and how the story A Visit to Grandpa′s is connected with his own life and the time when he grow up. Linked to his own life then comes a kind of comparison of his childhood and our, the reader′s, memory of childhood will follow. In the main part I give a short description of the story and an introduction to the different characters. In connection with the description of the story I point out important things about atmosphere and characters in the narration and I want to connect parts of the story to the appearing situation and atmosphere. In addition to the explanation of the plot the occurring dreams will be mentioned and I try to explain what they might mean. The last part about the style of writing deals with the way Dylan Thomas wrote the short story A Visit to Grandpa′s. Then in the conclusion I want to bring together what I have said before and try an attempt why an adult reader still understands the feelings and problems in this child story.
