Victorian/Edwardian Lit

1.  Go here.

2.  Find something cool, bring it to class tomorrow.

3.  Choose a book from this period:

• Charles Dickens’s The Adventures of Oliver Twist (1839)
• Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre (1847)
• Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights (1847)
• George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss (1860)
• Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations (1861)
• Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871)
• Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island (1883)
• Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Grey (1890)
• Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest (1895)
• H.G. Wells's The Time Machine (1895)
• H.G. Wells’s The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896)
• Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897)—Flip through this before you choose. It’s better than the movies, but not the same.
• H.G. Wells’s War of the Worlds (1898)
• Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (1902)—More modernist than Victorian, but worth including.

Possible R&G Essay Topics

If, for some reason, you have chosen to write an essay instead of creating a screenplay, you must choose from one of these two topics:

• If the arrival of the messenger is equivalent to R&G's birth, what is the meaning and purpose of their life, which is shown in its entirety?
• Contrast the player's comments about death with Guil's.

Also, please let me (and your group mates) know that you will be writing this instead of participating in the project.

R&G Adaptation Ideas

Post 'em below.  We already have:

• R&G '08
• R&G are Undead (See Josiah's post for a very long video on why we can't do this one...)

If you don't come up with an original idea, begin working on a point, that is, a reason, for writing one of the above.  Partial ideas are okay, as we are just in the beginning stages.  I want to see something from everyone tomorrow, though. Read More......
