Lisez l'extrait suivant tiré d'une nouvelle courte : 'I walked into the dusty library, my heart pounding against my ribs. I could see Mr. Henderson sitting at his desk, but he didn't notice me. I wondered what he was hiding in that locked drawer.' Identifiez le type de narrateur et le mode de focalisation utilisé. Justifiez votre réponse en relevant les indices textuels qui montrent que le narrateur est limité à sa propre conscience.

Lisez l'extrait suivant d'une nouvelle courte : 'The clock struck $12$ times. I looked at the dark corridor, my heart rate increasing significantly in the silence. John stood at a distance of $d=2$ meters from the door, his hands trembling with a nervous intensity that felt measurable, as if quantified by some unseen observer. We were trapped.'

Consigne :

1. Identifiez le type de narrateur utilisé (homodiégétique ou hétérodiégétique).
2. Analysez comment l'insertion de la donnée chiffrée $d=2$ $m$ et l'évocation de la quantification modifient la perception du lecteur sur l'état mental du narrateur.
3. Expliquez l'effet produit par l'utilisation de la première personne 'I' dans ce contexte de tension narrative.

Read the following excerpt: 'The parlor remained silent. Clara observed her brother, Arthur, sitting like a stone figure, showing no sign of emotion. She could not perceive the internal storm that consumed him; his internal pulse had spiked to $144\,beats/min$, far above his baseline resting state of $72\,beats/min$.' 1. Identify the focalization types employed for Clara and Arthur respectively. 2. Analyze how the disparity between the two focalizations creates narrative tension. 3. Calculate the intensity of Arthur's physiological response as a percentage increase relative to his resting heart rate, using the formula P = \left( \\frac{HR_{stressed} - HR_{resting}}{HR_{resting}} \\right) \times 100.
