For your final discussion post of the semester, provoke a conversation about
our three texts that present us with the relatively contemporary, postmodern
world. In these texts, we face a city that is being deconstructed and has no
center, a family that is torn apart, warriors whose battles are brought into work
rather than the battlefield, and lovers who bring a temporary pleasure and
enduring absence.
Within these losses, how do cities, families, worker-warriors, and lovers create
meaning? Substance? Relationships they value? How do characters
transform what used to be into what is?
Assignment: Discuss two texts for each discussion posts in light of one of our
archetypes: My warrior, my lover, my father, my home. How do the texts
present transformed possibilities for one of these foundational elements?
Bring in a quote from Bennett & Royle. You might want to reference one of our
earlier texts to have a basis on which to compare/contrast. Definitely quote
from the two texts you’re comparing and contrasting.
Example: Perhaps you’ll compare and contrast Marra’s novel and Ogawa’s in
terms of how the texts depict a home, including its loss and its re-creation.
The notion you could bring in from Bennett & Royle could be something from
“Beginnings,” such as their warning against giving priority to your first reading.
Thus, you could start out by quoting B&R’s warning against thinking your first
reading of Messina as a depiction of a neighborhood in Much Ado as being
inconsequential but, upon revisiting it in light of Marra’s and Ogawa’s
depictions, you now…Whatever it might be!
2)Journal ( 350 words) one and half page
For your final journal post of the semester, you have the opportunity to explore
three of the texts we have read or viewed that present us with the relatively
contemporary, postmodern world. In these texts, we face a city that is
being deconstructed and has no center, a family that is torn apart, warriors
whose battles are brought into work rather than the battlefield, and lovers who
bring a temporary pleasure and enduring absence.
As you did with this week’s discussion, analyze, suggest, explore, and / or
ponder how, within these losses, cities, families, worker-warriors, and lovers
create meaning, substance, relationships they value or how characters
transform what used to be into what is.
