The trouble with Ulysses

My teenage pupil had to prepare Joyce's Ulysses on his own as his teacher was "too busy to do that". Typical!

 

First I tried to evaluate how much of the book he actually needed to know, then I revised some of it myself and discussed the main themes and stylistic features with him. I managed to present the topic in a thoughtful but (hopefully) not boring manner and he seemed to get most of it confidently. 

 

I obviously hope he'll get a good mark in his final presentation in July.
