The Maelstrom by E.A.Poe

 A sociological interpretation for one of the numerous and magnificent tales written by Edgar Allan Poe.



QUESTIONS TO TALK ABOUT
  1. According to Marshall Mc. Luhan, what is the global village?
  2. What does E.A.Poe tell in this story?
  3. Can you see any parallelism between the tale and our current society? Which one?
  4. What did the sailor observe and how did he survive?
  5. The media and the huge vortex that it creates presents us with similar possibilities of evasion and destruction, so how can we save ourselves from this chaos in society?
  6. Do you agree with the sociologist? What are other negative effects of media in our lives?

A visit from St. Nicholas. Poem

This poem was published anonymously in 1823. These days most people believe it was written by Clement Clarke Moore, but nobody knows for sure. This poem is responsible for the modern image of Santa Claus, creating his physical appearance, the way he travels, the number and names of his reindeer and the tradition of bringing toys to children while they sleep on Christmas Eve.
The first video is just for Listening practice.
