Hash for March 25, 2009

- ***Term Paper Topics coming up*** By Monday... need topic and thesis statement.
"Oral Traditions" need to be somewhere in the title of your paper.

- Any subject in the Kane book related to the Oral Tradition is ok for term paper. Ong ok too. Yeats could get a little troublesome because it goes off our subject at times.

- In this paper I'm going to talk about... I'm going to talk about it by using the examples of... I will try to get this result in the end...

Passed around:

Great Beginnings: Great Endings

- Ong pg. 32 very important for Joan's "Word Magic" paper.

Talking about the connections between classes.

The bible was written in Latin, and since everyone was incapable of reading Latin, all the information from it was in the hands of the priests. The whole protestant reformation wouldn't have been possible without the printing press.

"Intestate and Without Issue"

Secondary Orality in the world - Is there no place where there is closest to Primary Orality.

pg. 136 - Ong - He talks to us about electronic technology and how they are fostering a new literary movement. He died before he could see the huge movement to electronics instead of writing.

Expalanations to the memory theatres:
Deep Sea Fishing Jeff - beaches back home
Bearded Brandon - an outline form
Christine of the Laughing Rats - a huge building worked at in Iraq
Jared of the Open Plain (will be remembered now because we discussed it)
- Parker of the Outback Steakhouse (didn't explain...just discussed his name)


I will not have these two pictures
Quick Wit Nick - Not Pictured
Christine of the Laughing Rats - Not Pictured

pg. 136 of Ong discussed at the end - Discusses Secondary Orality and how it applies to the electronic word. "Relationship between electronically published word and the polarity discussed in his book." (MS wants Carly to write the book)

- Talked to Zack of the Saving Bells about his retrograde technology of ordering movies from Netflix and having them sent.

- We all download movies now (most of us) for free from the net.

Electronic: Orality and Literacy will be my book. :)

Camillo and Bruno need to be addressed in class Friday.
