Hello All,
For this post, I want you to list the film you'll be discussing and the archetypes within the film you plan on analyzing.
For example, as you can see by the sample introduction, I would be analyzing the film Sunshine through the archetypes of 1. Regeneration of Time, 2. Divine Models, and 3. Shadow.

Post for Feb. 17
Hello All,
In class, we discussed different "centers" in the film Sunshine.
For this blog, explain how one of these centers is relevant to one of the following quotes from Mircea Eliade's The Myth of the Eternal Return:
"The object [or place] appears as the receptacle of an exterior force that differentiates it from its milieu and gives it meaning and value" (4);
"Being an axis mundi, the sacred city or temple [or place] is regarded as the meeting point of heaven, earth, and hell" (12);
"Attaining the center is equivalent to a consecration, an initiation; yesterday's profane and illusory existence gives place to a new, to a life that is real, enduring, and effective" (18).

For today's post, you should have read "Archetypes and Repetition" in Eliade's The Myth of the Eternal Return.
1. Explain (in your own words) what Eliade means when he refers to "Symbolism of the Center."
2. Describe one or more symbolic centers that are important to you and your life.

Hello All,
As we discussed on the first day of class, the best way to elevate your writing skills is to read more critically and often. As such, for this post, I want you to post the introductions to your analysis of the poem. After you've posted your introduction, read the introductions of your fellow classmates, and we'll discuss all of these on Friday.
Take care,
m woodman

This post is easy:
Find five poems from Poem in Your Pocket you enjoy, and explain why you enjoy them. Just write a sentence for each poem.
For example, I like Donald Hall's "Self-Portrait as a Bear" because sometimes I feel fat and lazy and like to sit in the sunshine, too.

Hello All,
Today will be a group blog done in class.
First, view Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz's art. Then, in groups of two or three, analyze one artwork.
What is the theme/message of this artwork? How do the artists use archetypes to convey this theme/message?
Your response should be a paragraph that contains at least one of each type of sentence:
simple

Blog for January 20
Hello All,
For Wednesday's blog, divide and classify the artwork/photography on the walls of your room or home; this should be a short paragraph.
After you have broken these items into categories and labeled/described each category, try to take an objective perspective and answer this question: What do these items seem to imply about your life and self?
