Welcome to the Learning English Through Literature Blog!

This is a space for you to exchange ideas, opinions and feelings about the books we are looking at and the ones you have chosen to present, perhaps even recommend some new ones.

As we only have bi-weekly classes this is an ideal place to meet and to relate your reading experiences between classes. Hopefully the posts here will also add to the richness of the discussions in class and provide a jumping off point for areas of discussion we might otherwise have overlooked.

Basically, the more you post, the more useful the blog.

So get writing!

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Hi all,

I attach you two parts from the film "Blade Runner" based on the novel "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" written by Philip K. Dick.

In the first part, Rick Deckard meets Rachael. He apllies her an empathy test (known as Voigt-Kampff test) in order to know if she is an android.



The second part is from the last part of the movie and it is one of the most famous parts: it's an speech made by an android called Roy who is facing death. Nevertheless, it's not based on the novel.



Finally, I attach the pages that I have selected from the book.




I hope you will enjoy them. See you on friday,

Neus
