MR.STEVENSON'S YEAR 13 LESSON [4th March 11]: Homework.









A decent session on 'FAITH and the gothic'. AS dominated today in Heathcliff fashion.Next week he will become Linton and and expects to be shocked by the brilliance of the feedback.Next week in the second hour we have a timed response: How do these texts deal with issues of faith?

The clan were reminded that this is a Section B response and requires an appreciation of how faith is reflected from both within/without the text. The classic example of the reader's acquiescence when faced with Heathcliff and Macbeth's final speeches was highlighted. This is absent from 'Dracula' and could be seen as a reason for a rather muted reception in terms of Stoker's resolution. CONCENTRATE upon YOUR coursework for Ms.Harper.

AS gave the clan a decent handout that covers much of the critical debate on Macbeth from Johnson to the present day. This is an academic text.Due to the sophisticated nature of this text you have until 1st April to synthesise the material.

AS.
