Forum

http://theliterarylink.com/araby_essays.html here is the link for the second forum Note that there are 2 separate forums to write about. Each is 500 words so total is 1000 words. After writing the first forum just continue writing the second forum in a new paragraph. I just did not want to do 2 separate transactions. I will upload the instruction for each forum and also will upload the stories that you need to read in order to write the forums. Here is the first forum instructions. Mythological Literary Theory: Heroes, Villains, & Archetypes Whole-Class Discussion Like so many stories in our anthology, “The Rocking-Horse Winner” and “The Garden Party” are shaped by initiation — perhaps even a dark initiation. Please discuss each protagonist’s “initiation” into adulthood (and subsequent conflicts). Note that the main character in “Rocking-Horse” follows both the hero archetype and the Oedipus Complex Theory in mythology; for “The Garden Party” you may choose to focus on the hera’s “conflicts and prejudices” regarding social class and standing in society. For both stories, you may also wish to compare the characters’ “ordinary” worlds to their “special” worlds and/or initiations into adulthood. Please post an initial analysis of at least 500 words. and here is the second forum instruction Please visit the following Internet site for a glimpse at a very sophisticated analysis of Joyce’s “Araby.” Please click here: Sample Essays Analyzing James Joyce’s Short Story “Araby” (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. Please select one of the following topics discussed in the essay, and compare and contrast the web site’s ideas to your own feelings about Joyce’s heroes, villains, and archetypes: •Summary of an Epiphany •Using Setting and Atmosphere •The Central Symbol of the Church •Using Myth and Archetype •The Lonely Quest •POV – The Ironic Narrator •Character Do you agree with the web site author? Has this author provided you a new and perhaps deeper understanding of the story? (Or is it all academic gibberish and you are terribly confused and currently dislike your teacher for making you read this elitist BS?) Please post your initial response of 500 words. https://theliterarylink.com/araby_essays.html here is the link that says click here for the second forum
