The Penelopiad is a novel by Margaret Atwood. It was published in 2005 as part of the first set of Canongate Myth Series books, in which contemporary authors rewrite ancient myths. In the new version, Penelope remembers the events of the Odyssey. Unlike the Odyssey in Penelopiad's book, Penelope is a more active character than in the original myth being she the possessor of the facts. The central themes of the novel include the effects of the perspectives of storytelling, the double standard between the sexes and classes and the justice of justice. However, in the odyssey she is nothing but a prop of the story, once it focuses more on the bravery of the husband Ulysses.
Open-air movies are when there is a big projector screen that shows a movie and you park your cars in lines and watch inside the car or on top or next to it.
