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.]

The twins looked over the list of nursery rhymes with skeptical looks on their faces. "Why does this spider climb up the water spout once it fell? Wouldn't it be too wet to climb?"

"Okay, in Rockabye Baby, I would get that kid out of the tree before the whole 'And down will come baby, cradle and all,' bit. What kind of neglectful parent puts their infant in a tree, anyway?"

"Peter Peter seems to need marriage counseling. If one is too poor to support a wife, it is likely not the best solution to simply leave her in a pumkin shell and hope that she'll be able to fend for herself, and that everything would work out for the best. I would advise him to look for a better job, or perhaps talk to the bank for a loan, and thus be able to provide for his family while still allowing her to be an active member of society."

Rory thought for a moment. "Maybe it's about birds and just doesn't specify? Or maybe there are bears or other predators on the ground, or something?"

"It could get up another way. If there was a spout, there's a wall that's dryer."
