SEMESTER FINAL:
By Saturday, 8:00pm, I need to hear from each and every one of you (via blog comments) regarding the texts you plan on using for the first two parts of the test; the organizing principle and the owning-a-term: I do not need an exaplanation of why and how you plan on using them, but need to see/her/read some titles.

since i see that the churches are a popular text -
when looking at the garden myth and the symbolical representation, bear in mind the following -
characters, situations (events), ideas/themes can be the gateways to syumbolism

For the essay, are we allowed to think of DEATH not only as physical death, but also as death of ideas, beliefs, principles...?
12:25 PM
to answer emil's question:
nope, you are not allowed to use the text, the actual text (a copy of it) during the exam. all relevant info (let's say you want to use a quote, a reference) by now you ought to be able to do it from recollection/memory
5:02 PM
to alek's querry -
yes, think of all the aspects of this theme (the physical is as relevant as the spiritual)
5:03 PM
for obrad - in any of the three (diction, syntax, imagery), when you deal with patterns, you deal with repetitions/recurrences (in words, in phrases, in sentence structure, in symbolism).
A pattern is a set of repetative/recurrent/afixed occurences, of one thing/instance
5:05 PM
for trajce:
in the first part, any text you pick, what is expected of you, is to deliver, with clarity and support, your view of how the myth of the garden has been represented by this text. it might be one example, it might be a whole host/pattern of events/instances.
5:06 PM
for maxim:
shame on you for forgetting your password:-)
5:07 PM
for jelena:
whatever 'element' from a text you pick on to relate to the myth of the garden/machine, you need to explain how this particular element works for the text. that means, you need to relate it to the greater whole: what does this symbol of the garden, do for the text in general? make it difficult to read?or?
