🛰️Dune, Book I — Desert Power & Destiny

### 🛰️Dune— Book I (“Dune”)

No homework. Printed cast/terms + scene prompts.

Description
We’ll cover Book I: “Dune”—the Atreides arrival on Arrakis, the ecology that shapes everything, and the tug‑of‑war between prophecy and politics. To help movie‑first folks, we’ll show where Villeneuve’s films intersect with the book: which scenes align, which get trimmed, and where the emphasis shifts. Bring any edition or just use the printed cheat‑sheet; you’ll be fine either way.

How we’ll do it :

• Discuss three threads:
• survival & ecology
• power & prophecy
• culture & language.
• Quick book ↔ film mapping for context (no heavy spoilers).
• Discuss how the Movie Versions differed from the book
