Stasiland Text response - Need Help!

[Babbling_Brooke]

Hello,
After half an hour of blindly scrolling, I finally figured out how to post on here.
If anyone has some insight or tips in regards to text responses for Stasiland, I would really appreciate your help.
I'm struggling considerably at the moment in regards to Stasiland purely because I feel there isn't all too much to analyse, considering the text is majorly based on factual events rather than techniques used by the author (Anna Funder). My English Teacher would like us to focus on the construct of the text and the use of themes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Welcome!  Sorry about your difficulties... were you logged in?

The following are some essays (not necessarily high scoring) and resources for Stasiland mainly from this site - I didn't do it so can't really help.  Really, keep researching (on the internet and rereading/annotating your book) and you will find that analysing themes and characters gets you a long way.  Is the order chronological, or differently structured?  Remember, even if events are factual, how people choose to record them is still significant.

That's okay, I figured it out eventually!
Thanks for the resources you posted, I've already read through some and it helps to see the way people have discussed the themes in Stasiland.
I don't think the book is technically chronological, as Anna interviews people regarding their experience with the Berlin wall and the Stasi (past tense) ranging over 15 years, and also uses authorial intrusion and narration regarding her own experience in Germany (present tense). I'm not sure what structure you would classify that as?
