Individual Presentations--Day Three

Here are some notes from today's individual presentations:

Lisa--performed a ribbon dance on metamorphoses and The Following Story

Zach Morris--performed a song he wrote involving the themes and imagery from the class

Rachel--wrote about dreams and The Following Story. She spoke about three major themes, the world as dream, life as fiction, and the 20 minute lifetime. Mussert's life is a dream and death becomes his reality. This is the mysterious mental maneuver.

Justin--wrote about the 5 themes in relation to several comic books, and read from his award winning poem! Congratulations!!

Thomas--plerosis and kenosis in relation to lowbrow and highbrow literature. He drew a straight line representing all literature starting with Everyone Poops and ending in Finnegans Wake. He says it's simply not that simple. Really, a circle should be drawn showing the relation of one to another on a continuum. Thomas also read to us the story of The Giving Tree.

These are all the presentations from today.... I know there will probably be more on Wednesday, but seeing as how that is our last blogging day, those presentations will not be listed in my notes. =( Still, congratulations to everyone on a job well done. and good luck on Wednesday!
