Here’s an interesting approach to the analysis of similar subjects in different mediums. Based on the methodology of Professor Jules Prown, learners apply his three stages (description, deduction, and speculation) to a painting and a work of literature. For example, The Merry-Go-Round, a painting by Mark Gertler, is paired with D.H. Lawrence’s short story, “The Rocking Horse Winner.” The richly detailed plan describes the process and provides an extensive list of possible pairings.
