My MA project was of three parts. The introduction which contains a preview of the book which I selected my piece of translation from (The East & the West) and the obstacles that faced me during translation because of differences between the ST & the TT, in addition to an analysis of the ST style & tone. The second part was the translation from English into Arabic. The third part, a list of 55 annotations (style & cultural differences, phrasal verds, idioms...) and an explanation of the way I opted for translation.
