hi i am doing my IOP on the theme of 'escapism' in train to Pakistan.
i would be talking about how the people in that time setting blamed their destinies and fates for what they were doing and what was happening around them instead of looking at the reality of the situation. i would also be talking about how certain charecters of the book get drunk to avoid the truth and try to escape from it.
my teacher wants us to present it creatively rather than just reading out an essay...
any ideas on how i should present it and also what else i should add to my IOP?
pls help!!

My IOP was on the significance of the green light in The Great Gatsby.

I got 26/30, so I was happy with that, although I'm not sure how much that'll change after moderation.

Mine was Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys interview with main character ( Antoinette Cosway)

Wow that sounds really exotic! Mine was based on Wuthering Height's and essentially argued that Edgar Linton was Linton's real father and not Heathcliff as it was (purposefully) deceptively portrayed in the novel. We memorized our whole script, and it's going to haunt me forever! I loved Wuthering Height's so much before my IOP We got 30/30 in the end, so I guess it was all worth it though!
