At school I was bad in Italian. With themes, yet still, I was doing. But there was no way to make me learn anything. I already liked the books, I devoured a lot on my own, but when it came to read and analyze texts went haywire. I believe they were all those notes made me want to spend. You could not read a line of a story without any words, there was a three numerino. And that numerino postponed to a note by which the editor of the book will explain what the author had meant by those words. One thing to crazy.
Take the simplest story ever told. If it ended in an anthology, I imagine it treated this way.
One (1) man (2) enter (3) in a cafe (4). Splash (5).
____________
1 ( Un ) - Notare l'uso dell'articolo indeterminativo per donare all'insieme un che di misterioso, di, appunto, indeterminato.
2 ( uomo ) - Attenzione, l'autore non usa un nome proprio, ma il termine più generale che si possa immaginare. Un uomo. Non Carlo, un mio amico, un tizio o un cavallo. Quasi a volere rappresentare l'umanità in tutta nella sua interezza. L'universalità della storia in questo modo salta subito all'occhio.
3 ( entra ) - Non "s'introduce" o "fa il suo ingresso": entra. Ecco che il parlato irrompe nel testo e riporta il lettore in un terreno a lui più familiare.
4 ( in coffee ...) - The use of synecdoche is not random. With it, in fact, the author succeeds in balancing the indeterminacy in one fell swoop and the universality of the first two words. The figures of speech are quite recurrent in short stories and humorous like that.
5 (Splash) - The onomatopoeia, placed as the final act of history, has genius. Only because of that the author fails to complete the story with brevity and wit, pulling the reader smile that has held so far.
