Friends, As part of my introductory ILS course, I have to do a 50-hour project. I would like to do something on the basic theme of some Elijah stories: mysterious stranger comes to town, changes people's lives, and rides off into the sunset. I want to look at good, bad and neutral strangers and actions and expand the literature to include Westerns, movies like the Music Man, plays like The Rainmaker (redone as 110 in the Shade), and stories like Stone Soup as well as traditional Jewish folklore. I enjoy comparing and contrasting stories.
My professor wants me to do more than just a bibliography and hopes that my project would be useful to others. My other idea is to do something with weeding books. And if I did this, maybe I could do something towards the listing, collecting, and keeping of old, outdated Jewish children's books---the stuff I pull from my library and then keep at home for historical interest. The first idea would be lots of fun for me; the second would probably be better for the world. Any ideas, suggestions, comments?
