This document discusses recording audio into a PowerPoint presentation and poses several questions about the symbolism and accuracy of an illustration for Henry James' novella The Turn of the Screw. It asks whether the governess in the illustration is meant to represent a bird, angel, or romantic heroine. It also questions if the character Miles is dead or dreaming in the image and if his untied shoelaces hold any symbolic meaning. Finally, it asks if the illustrator read the source material and if the reader noticed any other details.
