The Precis from the bachelor thesis The World of Jáchym Topol s Characters In this bachelor thesis I directed my attention to three representative books of the writer Jáchym Topol, about which I think, that they apposite Topol s work in the best way. I analyzed these books directing my attention to building-up of the fictitious world and the characters, than to stylistic exposure a style of narration. Every analyzed book has one own charter. In the last chapter No. four I made a comparison on the grounds of analyzed books and tried to show their similitudes and diversities. I used S. Chatman s naratologic work and typologie of characters with their building-up and methods, which I became acquainted in class of introduction to the literary theory and interpretative seminaries.

The Types of Characters in Rakugo Stories
Roubíčková, Iveta ; Tirala, Martin (advisor) ; Sýkora, Jan (referee)
The aim of this study is to compare characters in classical and contemporary japanese storytelling rakugo. Classical rakugo presents cultural tastes of merchant class in the Edo period (1600-1867) while the pattern of storytellers attending lords turned to performance in public and brought several amusing characters to idealize the medieval or rather premodern world. Contemporary rakugo carries on this popular tradition spontaneously with great expectations for its future appearance. As society phenomenons effect the appearance of rakugo characters, it is possible to observe the difference between this representation of life in community in past and nowadays. To compare classical and contemporary rakugo characters I analyzed them first according to their or storyteller's utterances and defined them as literary types.

"Every man's work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself." (Butler) The aim of this thesis is to put forward the importance of the author behind the book and to see clearly the effect of an author's life upon his work. The theme in focus is loneliness. This theme is to be analyzed in a dual manner. Firstly as an account of Steinbeck's own experience of loneliness. Secondly as a theme of focus in the novels; Of Mice and Men, Cannery Row and Tortilla Flat.

Mládková, Šárka ; Klusák, Miroslav (advisor) ; Vyšínová, Pavlína (referee)
This thesis is dedicated to drawing as one of tasks of Jirasek's orientation test of school readiness. It is based on a research, which was executed in pre-school with children ready to enter first level of elementary school. I'm trying to expand Jirasek's view on school- ready children's drawing. In this research, kids were asked to draw a man. After the drawing I executed an interview with each kid focused on a term "man". I analyzed drawings and interviews. Such research helped me to clarify and expand view of rating drawings of preschool kids. It was helpful specially in regard to rating synthetic way of drawing and considering all elements of drawing not only the figure itself. Also I researched a relationship between speech and drawing in general and in regard to a common element of a term "man". I compared the results of rating both mediums and found there is a certain correlation. I found, that verbal expression of a kid can very well correspond with his drawing expression. It can also work as a certain additional factor when a kid cannot express his real level in drawing. It was proven, that drawing itself should not be considered as a sufficient tool for measuring of school readiness. It should be accompanied by the interview with the child. Key words Drawing; figure; man; school...
