1BAC + 2BAC XMAS READINGS

Xmas reading:

1BAC: 

For the second term (test before Carnival half-term holiday): https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/w/wilde/oscar/dorian/

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a Gothic and philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.^[1][2] Fearing the story was indecent, the magazine's editor deleted roughly five hundred words before publication without Wilde's knowledge. Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding public morality. In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press, although he personally made excisions of some of the most controversial material when revising and lengthening the story for book publication the following year.

2BAC: For this season: https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/p/poe/edgar_allan/p74mu/ Test next week.

"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been described as the first modern detective story;^[1][2] Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination".^[1]

C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human.

As the first fictional detective, Poe's Dupin displays many traits which became literary conventions in subsequent fictional detectives, including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter".

For the second term (test before Carnival half-term holiday):

A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, commonly known as A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

For the third term (test after Easter holidays): 

https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/o/orwell/george/o79a/chapter10.html

Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, published in England on 17 August 1945. The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy.

ESO4: Reading sample (external examinations). The Yeti.

READING COMPREHENSION: TEXT 3 
Read this text carefully and answer the questions. 
The Yeti: Myth or Reality? 
                                                                     

The  Yeti or  Abominable Snowman is a monster  who lives in the 

Himalayan regions of Nepal, India and Tibet. People have believed in

the Yeti for thousands of years and it is part of the Himalayan history 

and mythology.  

The first person who saw the Yeti was a German photographer in 

1925, but many Nepalese people affirm having seen the Yeti as well. 

Mountaineers also say having seen large footprints  in the snow. In 

1970, British mountaineer Don Whillans announced to have seen a 

strange creature when climbing Annapurna. According to Whillans, he 

heard some strange screams. His Sherpa guide believed to be a Yeti's 

call. That night, he saw a dark shape moving near his camp. The next 

day, he observed some human-like footprints in the snow, and that 

evening, viewed with binoculars a creature that was searching for 

food not far from his camp. However, expeditions to find the Yeti 

have failed, perhaps because of the difficult weather conditions in the 

Himalayas, thus there is no scientific evidence about its existence.  

The Nepalese describe the Yeti as a nocturnal creature, which kills
animals, but which is not necessarily dangerous to  humans. It is
approximately 1’82m tall, has human characteristics, and is covered
with short brown hair and has white spots on his chest. He has a
broad face, a large mouth and long teeth. His arms are very long and
reach almost to his knees. It stands up when it attacks. When
Tibetans are asked what animal looks like the Yeti, they choose the
orangutan.
The idea of an ancient species surviving for millions of years hidden
from humans is difficult to believe but fascinating as shown by other
existing myths such as the Loch Ness monster or the Coelacanth fish.
However, if the Yeti does exist and wants to remain unknown to us,
the frozen landscape of the Himalayas is one of the safest places for
him to be.
