Prior to this class, I have read several books/novels dealing with, integrating and/or containing tricksters. Whether it was Celtic lore or a Native American Story, I have known about the myth, spirit, being, and tales for quite some time. Within in each of these stories the tricksters appear to posses the same qualities. […]
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest seemed to have several underlying debates and issues that Kesey was grasping at through his characters and plot lines. The one that grabbed and held my attention the strongest was the one being portrayed through McMurphy and Nurse Ratched. These two characters throughout the novel can be […]
In class, we watched, read, or experienced, depending on the audience, a handful of electronic poetry. Out of the three we discussed, only one, did I understand the intent and meaning. The other poems if I had to describe how they are poetic, I would just be making things up because I could not […]
Within this play several different items caught my attention but one did so more than the others. Whether to call them a theme or topic I am not sure but the roles of women in this play caught my interest greatly.

When each story was retold the narrators, little parts of the story were dropped and added depending on what reaction they wanted or way they wanted to portray Cortez. For example, the major difference between […]
Within the novel Ceremony one of the most important ideas was the act of story telling. At the end of the novel Tayo’s acceptance and completed ceremony was shown by him telling his story, ceremony, to the elders. Throughout the whole book, story telling was occuring whether it was noticed or not. […]
I believe that literature and lyrics can be forever compared and contrasted. In some circumstances I do believe that lyrics are literature. For instance, there are numerous artists/musicians who have taken parts of their journals and created songs out of them. Also, a majority of songs contain stories and tales of lost […]
When you sit down and read, what I consider, a fairy tale today, their setup and themes have commonalities. For instance, most tales will take you off into a magical land of unordinary people and creatures with uncommon abilities. Most stories that I have known have underlying meanings, […]
