After a careful discussion, Cathy and I decided to focus on the question “How did Romanticism lead to the emergence of Realism”. From here we came up with the research question “What are the factors that cause the shift from Romanticism to Realism”

We decided to make a video about the history of Romanticism and Realism. After talking about that we can add our interpretation of how it move from one to another base on the history. Because it’s a multimedia project we are also making posters on the literature we are going to read. I am reading a realism literature called “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen and Cathy is reading a romanticism literature called “Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo. After writing about our own literature we will compare the two to see the similarities and differences. Also we are going to create our own poem and art work base on out understanding of how a romanticism or realism poem will be like.

Because Cathy is not here this week we are working on it individually, so after she come back we can put them all together to create a complete work.
