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

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

"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.]

"Folks in the Foster Care office felt I need a stable environment, 'stead of being bounced from home to home."

It was getting easier the more times he told it. Should that worry him?

"It is nice, and yeah, I do like it. It's peacefull. So far."

"Maybe peaceful isn't the word. It's SAFE here. But way crazier than anywhere else I've ever been! So many wild things happen all the time." She laughs.

"I've heard some crazy stories... I heard they got attacked by dragons made of Jello this summer! That's wild on my chart."

Re: Talk to Each Other

"Heard about that myself."

"Not wild enough for you? Dragons? Made of JELLO."

Re: Talk to Each Other

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I just mean that nothing wild has happened since I got here. Weird yes, not wild."

Matilda shrugged. It was pleanty wild here for a (mostly)normal super genius like her. "It's been keeping me entained at the very least."

"That's important." Bily smirked. "Boredom, what's the word, sucks."

She nods, both to indicate he's used the correct word and that boredom, indeed, sucks.
