hmm we studied dracula WITH frankenstein! and unless you're reading an abridged version or something, how can u call that book a quick read?! its not the longest book ever but its definately NOT a quick read..

you're right, every time i read on here about someone doing ext english, they seem to be doing that area of study. we are doing representations of gender and i am yet to hear of any other school doing it!!

[gravitygul]

we're doin Frankenstein too and i found it to be the most boring thing i ever read ....
i cant wait to finish this yay!~!!!!

 

[astro]

we're doing Henry V which is suppose to be related to our topic: Role of Heroes....i think we're doing some sort of an assessment on the topic in term 2

I did frankenstein, it's really cool if you get into it properly.

some texts (some of these are movies, some not):

films/tv shows
Young Frankenstein (mel brooks)
Frankenstein (1931, famous boris karloff version)
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994 version with kenneth brannagh and robert de niro, is much closer to the novel than the 1931 version)
Weird Science
Reanimator
episodes from season 4 of Buffy including Adam - I think the ones I used were The I in Team, Goodbye Iowa, Primeval, Who Are You?, This Year's Girl, The Yoko Effect - if you're a Buffy fan this is a fun and easy related text : )

short stories/books:

mary shelley - the reanimated man
jane webb - the mummy
william maginn - the new frankenstein
villers de l'isle adam - the future eve
fred t jane - the incubated girl
w.c. morrow - the surgeon's experiment
dick donovan - some experiments with a head
harle oren cummins - the man who made a man

if your teacher has it, or you can find it in the library/a second hand bookshop, there's a volume called 'the frankenstein omnibus' which has all those stories I mentioned plus a few more, is very helpful.
if anyone needs any help, I really enjoyed this topic, so feel free to pm me
