Texts chosen by our teachers which focuses on said texts that have been converted into film

Welcome!

This presentation starts off with an introduction of the 4 main parts and then the intended timeline to study it with a brief description of the authors of the texts (the order of slides). Finally, it ends with the grading system explaining which parts are relevant to what type of work needed. Sit back and enjoy the prezi.

The government inspector

The Bell Jar

The Government inspector is a play by Nikolai Gogol in 1836. The play is a comedy of errors, satirizing human greed, stupidity, and the extensive political corruption of Imperial Russia. The play is a comedy of errors, satirizing human greed, stupidity, and the extensive political corruption of Imperial Russia.

A novel written by Sylvia Plath in 1963 under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas". It is Plath's only novel published. The novel was published under Plath's name for the first time in 1967. Fun fact: She is the wife of Ted Hughes. This book was also adapted into film. Many of the plot's events may parallel very strongly to Plath's own life. It has been subject for debate as to whether or not the book was a cause for her depression and eventual suicide when she reached 30

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

A novel By Jonathan Safran Foer. Foer is viewed by some as a polarizing figure in modern literature, due to his frequent use of modernist literary devices. Many of his books were adapted into film.

Fun fact: This book has been adopted into the movie where (in my opinion) half of it completely changes the whole story line and removes other narrators' perspectives.
