Hash for April 03, 2009

Talking of people's ideas for their papers and some going off on Oral Traditions but not having them connected to the books and the ideas expressed in class.

****Last day of the class is the last day to cross your t's and dot your I's on your blogs****

Talking more of correctness Nazis and reading Kevin's term paper on his blog.

He's reading a wonderful paper on "Right Writing" and every sentence is the wrongness it speaks about. :)

Speaking on Term Paper topics and discussing problems and what can be worked with to make them better on the paper.
-Bog People and The Ceremony/Sacrifice
-Paleolithic Art and Orality
-Post-Modernism and Ong's Six Points
-Power of Names
-Oral Poetry and The Sacred Meaning Behind It
-Pure Sound (he then recites Finnegan's Wake); when words don't matter in your song
-Tone of Voice
-The Medium is the Message (Ong and McLuhan connections); Sexson against any type of video of classes, teachers, and students.
-Science as a Degradation to the Oral Tradition (The Alphabet & The Goddess - Book being lent to him for his paper)
-Oral Poets; The Oral Tradition and the Individual Talent; Standing on the Shaman's Shoulders as well as Shakespeare.
