AntiPasta Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Hello,I'm doing some school assignment about Chapterhouse and House Atreides (I have to compare 'em), and I need to find and include some newspaper/website articles having something to do with these books!I haven't got the faintest idea why a newspaper would write about Dune-related subjects, so I' m pretty much stuck. Does somebody know what I should do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 You could use the search facility on either the forums, or, better, do the same with Fed2k News. Also look through Davo's newsletters - now discontinued - accessible from the main page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 You get that kind of assignments on your school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 That's cool. comparing the beggining (House Atreides) with the end (Chapterhouse: Dune).But really what lesson are you doing this for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 In my school when we were talking about favourite books (not very normal lesson it was ;)) and when I said about Dune, people even didn`t know what it is. Only some that played Emperor, but book? Chapterchouse? No way! >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 i know... dune is not widely known anymore... it has grown old :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 I find that my teacher has the most abominable taste in books. Anyone here read 'Cal'? By Brian MacLaverty or someone like that. If you haven't, trust me, you don't want to.You get to do that in school? *Turns green with envy* No words express my jealousy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 One of my teachers reads: "The mud monster", "The sculls", "Vampire in Holywood". I even didn`t hear about such books. Without comment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordos45 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Okay let us look at this. Â The bene Gesserit are scheming to get House Atreides genes in the book House Atreides. Â In Chapterhouse those Atreides genes are considered a curse. Â Its just one of many points you can compare. Â Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiPasta Posted May 24, 2002 Author Share Posted May 24, 2002 well I got some more info, and what it actually boiled down to was finding articles which had something to do with the book itself, not about the books. Utterly useless if you ask me, but i managed to find an article about growing desert (like on Chapter House), one about terraforming Mars (Kynes' work) and one on Viagra (kinda like spice  ;D DAMN i've had way too much guiness  8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 There are some articles about ornithopters that have been made, most I know are from the States, university's and sutch.With one of my first exames some years ago I had an English literature list that consisted almost entirly of Fantasy and Science fiction books. Dating from Beowolf [ ofcourse ;D ] to present. And the Dune saga [ 1 - 6 ] had to be on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sadukar Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 it's extremely cool, and i know how we can make this happen more often, we must all start to make everyone we know read dune and hopefully all that before and after, and then the Duniverse will have a second golden age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I once did an oral exam on Dune, the teacher first did not agree I read the book, because it wasn't 'real litarature' but I got him so far to let me do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 It wasn't WHAT? If Dune isn't literature then my sister's got the IQ of a donkey!Come to think of it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
