1.- Which 2 readings did you select from the list?


I selected The Sleepy Hollow and The Murders of The Rue Morgue.


2.- Using these readings, compare (3 examples) and contrast (3 examples) the works with the ppt presentations on Victorian Literature and Culture given in class.

In both books related a terror history and crime genre, In both stories we can find wars through all the story the book.

Sleepy Hollow ---------> The ghost of Sleepy Hollow was a soldier who lost his head during a War, it shows rich people superticiuos believes, the life of puritans and inmigration, The village is a peaceful place and people share the characteristic of good people the same as in the Victorian Era.

the murders in the rue morgue ---------> the caracteristics of the places and people's job which are described corresponding to the people of that time. women doesn't take place in the society, good people in this storie always say the truth, they always win and make justicies

3.- Do you feel that the readings you completed are very good or excellent examples of Victorian Literature? Why/ Why not?

In both books show a good representation of the victorian age about places, jobs, characters etc, the difference is the sleepy hollow is a unreal storie and the murders in the rue morgue is a real storie.

4.-Would you recommend these readings to your friends and family? Why / Why not?

I recommend the rue morgue because is a mystery, terror and real storie in which you want to discover the crimes related in it.
