Andy's Text Analysis ( Twins of Siam)

The Twins of Siam

Text Analysis

This text is about two babies that were joined together at birth. They were born in Siam, now called Thailand. Actually they are the main characters in the story: Chang and Eng. The conflict starts with the birth of these 2 twins. Everybody was shocked when they saw them. As the action developed , more and more people came in Siam to see the babies, consequently the climax starts with their journey in USA , when an American guest asks them to come with him and make money there.As a fact, the resolution leads us to the outcome of the story.The twins get married and they make many children. The epilogue ends with the death of the twins, they die as they were born, as one piece. This text has a heterodiegetic narrator, because the story is retold from the 3^rd point of view. The story has an actual theme: Life- and it’s good and bad moments, it happens when you are sad for what you have and who you are, but be thankful for what you got, because the problems will be solved- this is one important message that the author tries to show to the readers. I like the story in general, it is based on real facts, and it shows that even when you are down, you can get up and continue to fight.
