Hi guys! I'm actually not posting an "excerpt" question for once.
For year 11 to year 12, my school orders us to create a project in which we decide what to research, and research it. I'm basically doing mine on the types of characters popular in certain times.I figured the best way to do this was to read work by the best writers throughout history.
Access to their stories won't be a problem - my dad has the complete Brittanica collection of Great Books in his study, and should that fail, the library isn't too far!
The novels I've already analysed are the Hobbit (though that was mostly because I love Tolkien), the Narnia Chronicles, the Merchant of Venice (I know, it's a play not a novel. Let's forget the technicalities for now), Lord of the Flies, Oliver Twist, a Tale of Two Cities and a few more. Right now I'm reading Macbeth and next I've got Odyssey to stumble through.
What else can you think of? I know that I'm a long way off from having a decent collection, so help me out here. Try to keep it to the "basics", if you can...there are hundreds of amazing writers whose work I won't have time to read (after all, I've only got until this time next year, and there's a whole second part of the project that I need to work on), sadly
Oh, and I'm also doing speeches at local schools. Haha, I love that kind of thing. Anyway, if you have any suggestions for that, too (though it's pretty much planned out), I'd certainly consider it.
Thank you!
