Jenna Sheepers
Tzvetan Todorov defines a narrative structure in five single steps. At the beginning there is harmonious state until an event occurs which disrupts this pleasant state. Later there is an attempt to restore the disrupted state which will thereafter create a new form of melodious state. Jenna Sheepers’ life story can be represented in this form of narrative structure designed by Todorov.
Jenna’s life was pleasant while she was in London. The two years spent in London was described by her to be: "the best years of her life." The disruption of this can be the ending of her two year working holiday visa which expired. Jenna’s recognition of this disruption sent her back to South Africa where she entered a tertiary education facility to allow her to continue with her life. Her restored state of harmony is her acceptance of her life at present.
Jenna was chosen to be interviewed because she has had a very different experience thus far in her life than other first year students.
