Just Because

I know that class has ended, final projects were projected, but here are some great examples of how literature plays a larger role in modern culture:

1) Dante's Inferno is a video game coming out -- which is a great example of how a great story transverses to multimedia. A classic of literature made into a video game!

2) Walt Whitman's "Pioneer! O Pioneer!" is being used by Levi's to sell their jeans. I remember seeing this in the summer and it still pleases me to hear a good poem used in marketing a large brand's product. What's next? Perhaps Emily Dickinson will market auto insurance? Robert Frost Patagonia or REI?

Happy Holidays!
