One Friday Morning by Langston Hughes (published in 1941) Nancy Lee is an African American girl who is a senior in High School. She likes to paint and has hopes to win the yearly Artist Club scholarship. The year before, a student named Joe Williams won the Artist Club scholarship completely unexpected. He was feted by leading painters, and even got a lot of prestige for winning the award. Nancy Lee sometimes forgets she Is black, and it is rarely mentioned by her classmates because she fits in so well. She especially likes her teacher Miss Dietrich who helps bring out the best in all her students. Being of African descent, her parents have taught her the beauty of Africa. The mighty rivers, Pyramids and songs define where her ancestors come from.

Hh2va3/English A

Nancy has an idea for her addition to Artist Club contest. The frame is blue like the sky, and the painting is of an old Negro woman on a bench in the park looking at the American flag at springtime while children play all around her. Miss. Dietrich interprets the painting as if it forms a triangle between the flag, woman, and spring, that expresses a dream of Nancy Lee. Suddenly after school Nancy Lee gets told to go to the vice-principal. Nancy starts to freak out wondering what trouble she might have caused. As it turns out, she had won the Artist Club Scholarship, and the girls’ vice-principal Miss O’Shay and Miss Dietrich congratulates her. Nancy Lee writes a speech that she is ready to give at assembly the next day. The next day she is rushed into Miss O’Shay’s office. She tells Nancy Lee that the school committee has decided she cannot win the award because of the colour of her skin. Nancy Lee is baffled, but Miss O’Shay encourages her to keep fighting for equal rights. Nancy Lee then proceeds to go to class and salute the American flag.

Task 3 Find alle subjekter (grundled) verballed (udsagnsled) i nedenstående tekststykke. Se eksempel. OBS: Et subjekt kan godt bestå af flere ord, og det kan godt optræde som subjekt for flere forskellige verballed. Anfør dem i skemaet nedenfor og angiv, hvilken verbaltid hvert verballed står i. When something is happening, something new and fine, something that will change your very life, it is hard to go to sleep at night for thinking about it, and hard to keep your heart from pounding, or a strange little knot of joy from gathering in your throat. Nancy Lee had taken her bath, brushed her hair until it glowed, and had gone to bed thinking about the next day, the big day when, before three thousand students, she would be the one student honored, her painting the one painting to be acclaimed as the best of the year from all the art classes of the city. Her short speech of gratitude was ready. She went over it in her mind, not word for word (because she didn’t want it to sound as if she had learned it by heart) but she let the thoughts flow simply and sincerely through her consciousness many times”.
