At This Moment

This week Mohan Bell and Dominique Gauvard asked BC students and staff, "When most of us read we imagine ourselves within the text. If you could live in any novel, what book and author would you choose?"

"Mansfield Park"
- Vicktorya Buchanan

"Alice in Wonderland"

"Timeline by Micheal Crighton"

"If I had to pick one novel in particular, I think it would have to be The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."
- Christina Landy

"I think I'd want to be Jane Eyre or Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice, they're strong female characters and they end up happy in the end. And, I like to think of myself as a strong female and I'd like to find true love before I die."
- Amna Abdus-Salaam

"Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. Who wants to grow up?"

"Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan, because it's a world in which things are changing for the positive."
- Professor David P. McKay

"Memoirs of a Geisha. It's a time where things are flipped, women had power. It was empowering. The culture was focused on art; the first snowflake, the running water. It's aesthetically pleasing. We live in a world that's so rushed we can't enjoy a loved ones touch. We're so detached, we don't embrace simple things."
- David Fraser
