Literature- Wednesday- 2nd period

"All right, everybody!" Jess said, clapping her hands together when everyone had gotten there. Was she in Austen-period costume? Yes. Yes she was. Be glad she wasn't doing a whole character. "I hope you all read the meta for Emma over the last week, because if you didn't... well, we're going to discuss it anyway and you're going to be expected to participate so you'll know better next time.

"So, the meta for Emma comes to us from Jane Austen, who's had a lot of her works turned into movies, or had zombies added into them, and this book in particular got a 90's update that was pretty inescapable for those of us who happened to be in high school at the time," Jess said. "For today we're going to discuss the book, and you should all pay attention because you have a book report due next week and this discussion might help."

Or panic that you didn't read. Or wonder about the costume.

Jim hadn't read the entire book but he'd read enough to get the gist of it, at least. He was actually more interested in the costume, yeah.

Oh, was that a costume? Cosette had honestly not thought anything of it; it was a few years out of fashion by the standards of 1829, but she wasn't so knowledgeable about sartorial matters yet that she realized it. It seemed just about normal to her.

She had read the book, though. All but devoured it, as a matter of fact.

Not literally.

Jessica pounded the book out last week right after class so she'd have time to pound punching bags over the weekend. Somebody was studious as hell.

Of course, she wasn't in Victorian dress, so she probably lost the studious race.

Scott had watched the movie, which was just as good, right? In any case, he figured he was fine.
