MSCL Reading List

[rawr]

what is the reference to Cyrano de Bergerac ?

[Natasha (candygirl)]

Cyrano is in love with Roxanne but refuses to confess his love. He expresses his feelings by writing love letters to her for Christian. Sound familiar?

[KrokRos]

I wanna read that one!

A few more literary references to add to the list:

1.9 - Charles Dickens (not clear which book - Miss Lerner refers to "Mr. Dickens' world of dark factories, grey skies, lost souls" which could be a Tale of Two Cities, Hard Times, etc)
1.10 - Pippi Longstocking (Astrid Lindgren)
1.12 - Lord of the Flies (William Golding)

[Natasha (candygirl)]

Two more literary references:

1.2 Redbook
1.2 & 1.9 Batman (Rayanne and Danielle refer to Catwoman, who was originally in the Batman series)
1.5 & 1.7 The Wizard of Oz (Frank L. Baum)

I realize that the validity of these additions depends on whether you consider Redbook or comic books to be literary references, but I figure that anything you can read is literary. As long as we don't start including "side of corn muffin package," I'm good with Redbook & Batman being on the list

1.5 Seventeen, Mirabella, and American Gal (all three are magazines in Patty's room that Patty and Camille flip through while discussing the fashion show and the poll - in the next scene, two girls in the locker room look at American Gal, which, I should mention, is not a real magazine )
