Clarke’s quip seemed to give hard SF license to go wonky whenever it felt like it, including Clarke’s own occasional fits of reluctant mysticism his more purely hard SF novels, like The Sands of Mars, didn’t give him that wiggle room, and they haven’t lasted as long as, say, Childhood’s End. Likely a coincidence, unless they talked on the phone before coming to school, but it’s an interesting shift. ![]() That comes from Peter Watts’s Echopraxia, where he attributes it to Stella Rossiter, but exactly the same thought appears in Hannu Rajaniemi’s The Causal Angel (‘‘sufficiently advanced technology should be indistinguishable from nature’’). Clarke’s famous and annoyingly overquoted dictum that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic has given way to ‘‘any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from nature’’ (italics mine). ![]() ![]() Maybe this represents some sort of watershed in the development of hard SF: Arthur C. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() TikTok video from □Shay | BookTok□ "THIS BOOK IS NUTS!! □□ RELEASES 3/3/23 #thatsikluv #jesciehall #arcread #hauntingadeline #thesinner #bookporn #bookworm #angstyromance #bookangst #spicybooks #bookfyp #hefallsfirst #smuttok #booktoker #romancebooks #spicybooktok #smut #bookinfluencer #booktokfyp #bookswithshay #stalkerromance #darkromance #triggerwarnings".

A background lesson on the Igbo people and colonial and pre-colonial Nigeria will help contextualize the novel for students.Īchebe’s skillful prose exposes the insidiously destructive effects of colonialism on native populations, as shown through the disintegration of the Igbo people’s customs and the protagonist’s tragic end. Known as perhaps the most popular book in modern African literature, this story compellingly depicts European colonialism in Nigeria, providing a variety of discussion topics ranging from the morality of colonialism to the conflict between traditional and Western ideologies.

Early one morning the chief sent two of his young men to hunt for game. Every day they sent scouts to look for game, but the scouts found nothing, and the people were starving.Īmong the bands assembled were the Itazipcho, the Without-Bows, who had their own camp circle under their chief, Standing Hollow Horn.

As he walks back, Prendick suddenly realizes he is being followed by something in the jungle. While he wanders, he encounters a group of people who seem human but also resemble swine. Prendick assumes Moreau is performing a painful experiment on the animal, and its anguished cries drive Prendick into the jungle. The next day, Moreau begins working on a puma. Prendick remembers that he has heard of Moreau, formerly a physiologist in London, who had fled England after his gruesome experiments in vivisection had been publicly exposed. Seeing that the captain has abandoned Prendick, Montgomery takes pity and takes him in.

After they have had the chance to listen and annotate (Sometimes I play the song twice for them if the connections are not as literal, or are more difficult than some of my other music choices), then we discuss the piece as a class to discover all of the similarities and differences (connections) they have found. Considering, not only, the lyrics but also the overall tone and mood of the music itself. I play the song for the students they have the lyrics in front of them, so they can annotate as they listen. NOTE: It has recently been brought to my attention that perhaps I need to be a little more explicit with my instructions pertaining to the musical activities themselves, and how I utilize them in the classroom. ![]() Whether the lyrics compare or contrast with the other material you are covering, songs provide an innovative, electrifying way to point out similarities and differences in the material. This song by Pink Floyd pairs very well with concepts and ideas encountered within the short story, "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Poe. When teaching English and all of the skills this encompasses, it is often very beneficial for the teacher to use other artistic mediums to inspire interest and learning in their students. ![]() |
