Analyse af 'The Shining Mountain' af Alison Fell

The short story, ’’The Shining Mountain’’ is written by Alison Fell.

The short story starts with an introduction of the main characters, Pangma-La, and her father. We see the exposition here on page 18, lines 1-2,’’Once there was a Scottish girl with a strange name and a father who was always on television. The girl was called Pangma-La...’’. In this part, we also get to know something about, the relationship that Pangma-La and her father have. He is not always around because he is always on television. They are not very close in the beginning.

We meet the complication right after the introduction,’’ The girl was called Pangma-La, and of course she was teased about it. At first, she cried, but her father scolded her.’’ Here we see that she got teased about the name that her father named her.

Next, we meet one of the crises where the conflict becomes worse, ’’Pangma-La woke up frightened and wanting her mother, but she said nothing, for she was afraid her father would be disappointed in her.’’ Here we can see that she just had a nightmare about the mountain that she is named after. We can also see that she does not want her father to see her as a weak person.
