    This document provides a teacher's summer reading plans and potential topics for a comparative essay called an NEA. It lists "Song of Achilles" as a book to read over the summer. Possible themes for analysis include time/memory, mythology, lust for recognition at all costs, pride, and music. Links between the chosen text and another work called Jerusalem could explore how a hero does not need to chase glory to be remembered and having compassion is enough for recognition.

    English Lit NEA 2023-24

    Summer Reading

    Books that I intend to read over the summer and am interested in for NEA (2-3
    are fine):

    “Song of Achilles”

    Themes that I am potentially interested in looking at for my comparative NEA


    response:

    • Time/memory, mythology
    • Lust for eternal recognition at cost of all else
    • Destructive nature of pride
    • Music: drum/lyre

    Possible links between my chosen texts and Jerusalem:


    • A hero doesn’t have to chase glory to be remembered
    (Johnny/Achilles), having compassion is enough for
    recognition (Patroclus)
