It happens dw :smile: For anthology I feel okay as it’s usually quite straightforward. However for streetcar i feel like no matter how much context or quotes i know if they throw a really niche question i may struggle with timing :frown:

oooo good luck in history! is it modern? We do TGG and A Raisin in the Sun, i think Othello would be good for comparison to be fair (the little i know about it)

I do Tudors and Russia so not modern sadly 😓 A raisin in the sun sounds interesting i bet there’s a lot of contextual similarities. What are some major themes of yours that align for both?

to be fair there isn't much as it mainly focuses on race but there are comparable characters and social mobility/ lack of social mobility. Do you like TGG?
