Week Two: Multi-genre and Multimodal Textual Lineage


1.       Three texts that I will always remember:

a.       The Giver by Lois Lowry

b.      Night by Eli Weisel

c.       Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

2.       Quote from each of the texts:

a.       “I liked the feeling of love,' [Jonas] confessed. He glanced nervously at the speaker on the wall, reassuring himself that no one was listening. 'I wish we still had that,' he whispered. 'Of course,' he added quickly, 'I do understand that it wouldn't work very well. And that it's much better to be organized the way we are now. I can see that it was a dangerous way to live.'

b.      "Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere."

c.       "To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love"

3.       An Image to define the text:

  1. I did not enjoy The Giver when I first read it in 6th grade but when I reread it my freshman year of college, it really resonated with me. It has so many strong themes: love, duty, community, responsibility, justice. I felt it was an excellent quote to choose and your choice in music really set the tone. Nice work! :)

  2. The words Love Is Dangerous with a shape of a heart made with a noose is a powerful statement! And very true!

  3. It looks like you knew what you were doing with Smilebox! I used it but I didn't think to put the text where the picture box was, great idea. It also made it really easy to read.
