The Hitchhiker - Roald Dahl
TABLE 1.
Element Description
1. setting The story is set on a beautiful day in June. The location is on the outskirts of London. The story does not explicitly say
when the story takes place, but from the description of the car, I think it happened in the 80s or 90s.
2. characters In the story there are two characters, the protagonist who is also the narrator and is a writer. I suppose he is a man of
money from what the story tells. the second character is the antagonist who is the hitchhiker in the story they describe
him as a very strange man the narrator says he is a man who looks like a rat the antagonist is a fingersmith someone
very good at using his fingers.
3. plot ''The Hitchhiker'' is about a successful writer who picks up a man who is hitchhiking. The men decide to see how fast
the driver's car will go, but they are pulled over by a cop when they hit 120mph. The cop abuses his authority,
threatening both men and giving the driver a ticket. However, the driver gets out of the ticket because his passenger is
a fingersmith and has stolen the cop's notebooks.
4. conflict The conflict is that the cop bulls the driver and the hitchiker break the limit of speed and a policemen threatens to take
them to prison
5. theme We should not judge people by their looks

6. point of view The point of view used in the story is from the writer and driver because he narrates the story from his POV

Element How they are represented in The Hitchhiker

● Mood I asked him.
"Ah," he said slyly. "That'll be tellin', wouldn't it?" "Is it something you're ashamed of?" " Ashamed?" he cried.
● Onomatopeia Go on! Go on! Get 'er up to one-two-nine!" At that moment, I heard the scream of a police siren. It was so loud
it seemed to be right inside the car, and then a cop on a motorcycle loomed up alongside us on the inside lane
and went past us and raised a hand for us to stop.
● Repetition The secret of life," he said "is to become very very good at somethin' that's very very 'ard to do." "Like you, " I said
"Exactly. You and me both".
● Characterization He was a small ratty-faced man with grey teeth. His eyes were dark and quick and clever, like rat's eyes, and his
ears were slightly pointed at the top. He had a cloth cap on his head and he was wearing a greyish-coloured
jacket with enormous pockets. The grey jacket, together with the quick eyes and the pointed ears, made him
look more than anything like some sort of a huge human rat.
● Imagery
had a new car. It was an exciting toy, a big BMW 3.3 Li, which means 3.3 litre, long wheelbase, fuel injection. It
had a top speed of 129 mph and terrific acceleration. The body was pale blue. The seats inside were darker blue
and they were made of leather, genuine soft leather of the finest quality. The windows were electrically operated
and so was the sunroof. The radio aerial popped up when I switched on the radio, and disappeared when I
switched it off. The powerful engine growled and grunted impatiently at slow speeds, but at sixty miles an hour
the growling stopped and the motor began to purr with pleasure.
● Pace "Beautiful! Keep goin’!" I had the accelerator jammed right down against the floor and I held it there. "One
hundred!" he shouted. "A hundred and five! A hu ndred and ten! A hundred and fifteen! Go on! Don't slack off!"
