Wootable Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I did mine on the role of father figures in The Killing Jar, Oedipus Rex, and The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner. Also did a practise one, anlyzing how writers use drugs in literature, much more fun, but was told it wasn't focused enough to carry on with.

tahsgirl Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 mine was on the irony of intentional meaninglessness in Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound. Surely it's every IB students dream to tell their english teacher that most of the analysis we do is superficial crap... and I even did well for it!

ZBP92 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 My IOP was basically on how the intercalary chapters in The Grapes of Wrath worsen the book. Sounds a bit opinionated, I know, but I got a very good grade on it, so I'm happy. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit opinionated, I know, but I got a very good grade on it, so I'm happy.Awr but I love those chapters! Social commentary Steinbeck has such a beautiful way of writing he could say more or less anything and I'd love it though, ahah. What about them do you think worsened the novel, out of curiosity?

may Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 mine was an analysis of the poem called 'Silver Lining' written by Carol Ann Duffy for the eruption of the Icelandic volcano (the famous Eyjafjallajoekull)!. i found rather interesting the rapid response of the poet to what is actually going on and troubles millions of people. in my opinion, the poem gave indeed a (rudimentary but still) solution to the problem. if you'd like to listen to the poet reciting her work, http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8629000/8629103.stm.

Grumps Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I just finished mine. It's an analysis on how childen's point of of view is used in Obasan. It's really ****ty and probably too short though. I started it today and am presenting tomorrow. I'm scared... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxxamazexxx Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 My IOP is on the Literary Techniques in The Prophet Hair by Salman Rushdie. I know it's kinda a cliched topic, but after seeing people reaching out to all the dubious corners of a text for their IOP I thought it would be just nice to make a clean-cut classic analysis Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikephoros Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) My IOP topic focused on the concept of "Mother is Supreme" in the Patrilineal Society of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. . It basically examined this paradox within the novel. It ended up being a presentation on the significance of women as the "forgotten side" of society. It was a tonne of fun, and I ended up getting a 7. Hey I am working on similar lines. My teacher said we cannot just quote events from the book, there has to be an analysis through literary features. I was wondering what did you work on. Did you see symbolism or theme of 'mother of supreme'? Please help!!!

destroyedparadise Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I did mine a few months ago about the symbolism in The Great Gatsby. I was quite nervous and stuttered a bit, but my teacher said I did great! ...but she did ask if I got help. In my head I was like "...yup, thanks for believing in me."
