Heroism, Humanism & Hijinks: Literature in Action - Week 2, Period 5

"Welcome back," Thursday greeted as she handed out a few sheets of paper. "What you'll find on this paper is an explanation of nursery rhymes and a list of several popular nursery rhymes," she explained. "We'll use these as a warm up. Nursery rhymes are taught to young children to introduce them to reading and understanding narrative. Pick a nursery rhyme from the list. Now I want you to pretend that you're a part of the rhyme. How would you react? What would you do to interfere if you had the chance? You can do this alone or in a group."

At the end of class, Thursday dismissed them, but not before telling them about next week's class. "Next week we're moving into the action part of this class. Please make sure you have read Jane Eyre by then."


[OOC: So sorry about posting this late. I forgot to post it before falling asleep. Also, you the player do not have to read any of the books. I'll provide a brief synopsis and character list.]

"If I was Jack, I'd want to know why Jill tumbled down the hill after me, instead of going to get help when I was lying on the ground, head broken and bleeding. Not to mention that, because she was tumbling, the pail of water spilled everywhere, making the whole trip useless."

"I would too," Thursday admitted. "Perhaps there's something at work that forced them both to fall?"

"Like what? Seems like kind of an advanced job for gravity," Dawn asked.

"Earthquake? Perhaps the 'hill' is really a volcano."

"Hmm. You'd think the nursery rhyme people would have noticed flaming rivers of lava chasing the hero and heroine down the hillslope."
