Take a look at these pictures!

Sometimes artists like to work from what they see in texts. The above pictures are from one artist's point of view of Oryx and Crake. Do you think these are valid visual representations of the novel? Why or why not?

Question #2 - Your next official blog question

Okay, here it is...

We have started reading "Waiting for Godot" and we've talked a bit about absurdism in class. I would like you to consider the meaning of absurdism as it relates to "Hamlet" and "Waiting for Godot" and create a connection between the two plays based on absurdism.

Please write a good, solid single paragraph stating the connection you've made between absurdism, "Hamlet" and "Waiting for Godot."

Hey 4U1!

Here's the question for your first blogging assignment. Remember to offer 5-8 sentences in your well considered response.
