On the subject of films though, one of my favourite films happened to be on yesterday. What was the film? The Princess Bride. I love it! I have never read the book - a flaw on my part - but I am worried that if I read the book the shiny of the film might be marred. Now, this isn't like me. I would rather read a book than take a film based on the book at face value. The Princess Bride is a different matter though. I love that film so much, I can watch it over and over again, that I don't want to read the book in case it does affect my enjoyment of the film. See, I might have enjoyed Eragon if I hadn't read the book, but the glaring omissions in that film just made me angry. So, I don't know if I will ever get to reading William Goldman's book.
As for returns of essays... I'm still waiting. *Sigh* I'm finding it hard to concentrate on the 60s when I don't know how I fared on the last essay. However, I am slowly trudging through the science section. I think I am quite certain that I will tackle science in the next essay, and possibly music and history, though having done okay with the art sections... We'll see. I think doing the history part is a given, just because to tackle periodisation you can hardly ignore it.
And to finish; the best swordfight (or fencing duel, I'm not sure!) in film!

Morning Ally,I have a sneaky suspicion you will get your tma back today.Let me know.
I am going for science also however not altogether convinced periodisation is necassary with regards to the actual question.Tis interesting but...Normally I would do art but again haven't found stuff that answers the question yet... Think it's easy to fall into the trap of writing something good but does not always answer a specific question.Structure wise I will pick two and if i am short add something else.May also done an overview paragraph on what made the sixties what they were without going all the way on history.Thinking of getting "Hobsbawms" book-hopefully quickly from amazon,this may give a good overview?
Went to the Walker art gallery on Saturday which I will blog about later-if I get roung to it.
I think the periodisation will be necessary, as part of the introduction was focused on it. Also, I remember the Octoberries speaking a lot about periodisation, and I think they were saying something along the lines of using about 150 words for it, so that's what I will do, just to cover the bases.
Dunno about the Hobsbawms book, though it could prove useful. There have been a few suggestions for websites on the forums, so I might do a webtrawl this afternoon. I think I might do a little bit of study now while Princi is bugging her Nanny!
