Dasanific Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 We're reading the Scarlet Letter/Ethan Frome/the awakening... they all have adultery as a common theme but i don't know what I'm going to do mine about... maybe how the authors condone adultery through their use of literary devices? but it would be interesting to analyze the use of the ocean as a symbol in the awakening... any suggestions?How did it go?

adam579 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I did a character analysis and created a tree using different colors to represent different character's overall emotions in novel. The novel I used was "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston. I liked the book. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matsu Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Analysis of relationship dynamics in Gulliver's Travels. I pretended to be a world famous pickup artist relationship seminar love guru. Was loads of fun. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toad Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I chose the novels Brave New World and Heart of Darkness by Huxley and Conrad respectively, explaining how they made use of descriptive passages and atmosphere to strengthen the emotional impact of their respective scenes and build on the theme of the work. I ended up rushing it and decided it wasn't worth the risk of losing points to go beyond my comfort zone. Presented it as a bog-standard seminar with some pictures.I received 28 points, docked because I was too verbose (could've stuck with just HOD, to be honest). It was decent, but I should've done more earlier so I could cut things out. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Bird Lockheed Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) My IOP topic was " Friendship and selflessness in the short stories of Oscar Wilde". I have done all the presentation in last minute. ( I sat till 4 despite having high fever). Learnt a valuable lesson, never procrastinate. ( Though some times I do. It is inevitable ) Edited May 17, 2013 by akash jishnu Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah1 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 We studied selected short stories by Flannery O'Connor, and I chose to examine "How do the two main settings of New York City, New York and Corinth, Georgia affect the overall meaning of Flannery O'Connor's "Judgment Day"?Our teacher refused to tell us our specific marks on our project, but she really liked mine (it helped that I could recite my quotes from memory without even looking ) 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Pickering Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I did my on the theme of Memory in Toni Morrison's Beloved. Tip: Read loads of critical essays on the text and then decide from there, see what people are talking about it and then you can collect loads of easy material for your presentation.

Blackcurrant Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood. I focused on aspects of narration. What appears at first sight straightforward, flat (even dull) recounting of events by Offred turns out to be rather more. The challenge, I thought, was to try to make something out of "nothing." Far from it. Edited August 10, 2013 by Blackcurrant Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBfreakingout! Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Mine was based on Laura Esquivel's novel Like Water for Chocolate. I presented an explanation of how various techniques were used to explore ideas on 2 opposing responses to adversity and then identifying the one that Esquivel suggests is the correct one.
