Bakhtiyar: No Work.
Tasnim: Working at good speed. However, there's hardly any tension. Need to speed up and go for crazy reading spree.
Ahnaf: I have not assigned any work as yet. We are progressing a lower speed.

We have done the following items today:

  1. Read an old report from 2011 and went back to read Heart of Darkness from Wiki. He then shifted to the GRANTA article "How to Write about Africa". This was followed by an essay of 600+ words based on the reading of both the novel and the article. I gave a list of words to be included in the essay - irony, juxtaposition, image, repetition, exaggeration, prejudice, Eurocentric vision, pre-conceived notion. 
  2. We accessed an article on BBC History Extra titled "10 Things You Probaly Didn't Know about Reformation". We shall then gradually move to a reformation play "She Stoops To Conquer". And then about Reformation polemic "Areopagitica". 
  3. Here is Shakespeare's own version of Reformation that lives in his plays. 
    1. Shakespeare's Reformation
