This was my first lesson of English Literature HL. We discussed our course - the books (only a few of them).
I found Persepolis to be quite interesting of course since it was about a girl. Whenever I get to read a story that relates to a girl in a turbulent situation, I seem to look forward to getting engrossed into it. And again, who does not like comics?
I am interested by the story of the Death and the Maiden. Probably, it is going to be about the themes of honour, subservience of women, etc. (something like the themes of Much Ado About Nothing which I did for my IGCSEs).
We were given two topics to discuss about. We wrote 300-400 on it. For e-books I strongly felt that it may kill reading because of various factors. I know that the technology is advancing. But for me, it is still very difficult to study or read without a book in the hand.
Ms. Chaplin was talking about the smell of the book and how it is pleasing. I totally agree with her. I too love that smell.
