Female Hero

Hey everyone,

One of the subjects that we touched on today was how Buffy fit into the role of the female hero. From the episodes we've viewed (or more if you've watched the series), discuss whether you think the first season is a journey for Buffy in itself, or just a part of the journey that the entire series encompasses?

Thanks,

L'homeworks

Hey everyone,

A reaction to the Jungian stuff we discussed today? Agree with the method? Disagree? Is it an effective way to look at film/literature? Do you think Nolan was thinking along these lines when developing the film? Discuss!

Homework Mark II

Hey everyone,

Here's the homework: a continuance of our conversation today. State who you believe the hero in Inception is, considering the part of the film we've watched. Back up your statement with examples from what we've discussed in class. The entire thing should be 100-200 words. 

Thanks,

Personal Examples

Hey everyone!

So for homework I'm going to ask you to take one of the stories that we've looked at (The Frog Prince, Prince Five Weapons, etc.), take their heroic struggle, and compare it to another hero story from your life, whether it's a favorite fairy tale from your youth or a movie like Star Trek. Look specifically at one of the trials the heroes go through an compare them in a paragraph or two of about 100-200 words. End the post with your name, so I know who you are!

Thanks,

Jimmy Peterson
