🤐ASSIGNING ARCHETYPES
🔊LOWER THE VOLUME A LITTLE BIT FOR THIS ONE. I had to crank up the volume during editing so everyone could be heard and now it sounds like I'm screaming at the microphone (which I tend to do anyway). Anyway, this is our 13th episode for the 4th season AND the student's end-of-the-quarter book exam for "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding.
🧟BRAINLESS
The episode where Teacher Ing had to carry the class because his Lit students were replaced with zombies the day of the recording.

🤪PURE CHAOS

❤️🔥ANGELS OF ARSON
Fahrenheit 451 + Full Creative Control for the Students = A podcast episode that is surprisingly not as chaotic as I thought it would be

✌️GENERATION V
"Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call (us GENERATION V)!"

🎩A DEBATE WITH DEATH
"I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.” -Death from 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak

🎈WE LOVECRAFT LIT
“I shall never sleep calmly again when I think of the horrors that lurk ceaselessly behind life in time and in space, and of those unhallowed blasphemies from elder stars which dream beneath the sea, known and favoured by a nightmare cult ready and eager to loose them upon the world whenever another earthquake shall heave their monstrous stone city again to the sun and air.” - H. P. Lovecraft
