Today, we started something new, listening to the audiobook of Rudyard Kipling's novel "Kim". We are going to vary between Rudyard Kipling and Jules Verne this semester, using the Librivox recordings of their novels.
Here are the links:
Kim, by Rudyard Kipling
Around the World in Eighty Days, by Jules Verne
Today, we listened to the first 15 minutes of Kim. You can watch it here, or go to the Librivox website and listen there:
Activity: As you are listening to the reading, write down interesting descriptions you hear. What words or phrases does Kipling use to describe the world, people, places, or ideas? For example:
- sleek and shiny young men of fashion
- thy father was a pastry cook
- stinking artemeshia
- old tortoise in the sunlight
...and so on. Try to fill up a page (if you can) with descriptions.
