Titel 7 EXAM Victoriatiden - EKSAMEN (historie)

SRO-forløb om Victoriatidens engelske samfund med fokus på industrialiseringen og dens sociale konsekvenser, især i London.

Fokus:
Hvad indebar industrialiseringen, især mhp. England, hvilke kræfter drev den, og hvilke teknologiske fremskridt fandt sted? Hvordan ændrede industrialiseringen samfundets økonomiske og sociale liv - hvilke klasser opstod, og hvordan var deres livsbetingelser under industrialiseringen? Fokus i forlængelser heraf især på arbejder- og underklassen i London. Vi har læst uddrag af Jack Londons "The People of the Abyss" mhp. SRO. Jack London var en amerikansk journalist og socialist, der tog til London og beskrev slummens rædsler. Hvad var socialisme for noget, og hvordan kan man aflæse den socialistiske tendens hos Jack London?

OBS! ift periodebetegnelse skal denne ses lidt "elastisk" af hensyn til SRO, da Victoriatiden formelt set er 1837-1901, og vi i historie starter tidligere (dér hvor industrialiseringen reelt starter i 1700-tallet).

Titel 8 Dead Poets Society

We have read the novel "Dead Poets Society" and mainly focused on how the themes below are explored in the book:

Individualism and anti-conformity, child/parent-relationships, the expression "seize the day" and the significance of poetry.

On a more specific level we have mainly focused on Welton, i.e. what sort of school it is, and the following characters: Nolan, Keating, Knox Overstreet and Neil Perry and his relationship with his father and the significance of the suicide.

The Guardian text “Reclaiming carpe diem: How do we really seize the day?” (2017) was read to put our understanding of “Dead Poets Society” into perspective.
