I cannot communicate just how much there is to do. The modular timetable is less of a mystery, but still confusing in areas - hence a lot of transition student huddles as we try to figure out wtf we are supposed to be doing. I am meant to be part of a group that should be deciding its choice of manifesto to fully utilise in a PP (group presentation 15%) of the marks) a few weeks for now. Fellow group members pretty sluggish about sorting things out; I will pick a topic and go on with it, if they don't get their collective fingers out. I need to figure out my major dissertation timetable and email said lecturer with good news via great links (provided by another lecturer). Somewhere along the line, I will have to read Lolita as I have another PP on this - namely the following:
Analyse the depiction of Lolita's sexuality in the novel, giving three or more examples from the novel. How does Humbert 'read' her and do we 'read' her differently?
It's all a bit creepy to me, but it's something I have to do - Nabokov's book is not comfortable reading and I have to know Freud pretty well before I make any assumptions. Last of all, but definitely not least, I have several modernist poe3try to get from the reader namely the following;
In your copy of Rainey (ed.) Modernism: An Anthology:
