Translations

The time has come to tackle another great work of English Literature; Brian Friel`s Translations. Let us know your reactions and your comments as well as your thoughts on the novel that we just finished.

Enjoy

Class 3

Hi everyone,
I'm curious to read your impressions of this week's class, the novel, and of My Papa's Waltz. Does it surprise you that a reader once wrote that "Roethke expresses his resentment for his father, a drunken brute with dirty hands and a whiskey breath who carelessly hurt the child's ear and mistreated him".

You can read what some students wrote about this poem last year if you want some ideas.

See you next week,

Olivier

Class 2

Hi everyone,

I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions of the two new poems.

See you on Friday,

Olivier

First class

Hi everyone.

I hope you enjoyed your first class. Why not use this opportunity to write your comments about the class? Also, if you chose your book, why not share this with the class so as to avoid picking the same subjects?

I`m looking forward to reading your comments,

Olivier

Lost in Translation

What was lost in translation? What poetic devices do you think were suitably transcribed in each of the poems that we studied? See you in class.

On the Road

Now that you are all well "On the Road", how about discussing your first impressions of this book? How do you relate to the story so far? Where is this road heading?
See you in class.
