Presentation notes
I’m going to post this before my presentation, because tomorrow after school I probably won’t be in the condition to write nice pretty coherent things.
1 – I’m sorry if my presentation was in any way offensive. I think at one point I may have said something about obsolete writings, and thrown in the Bible as an example… I didn’t mean the Bible was obsolete, more as not everyone reads it, and archetypes reference it a lot… I had just talked about things archetypes to refer/allude to.
2 – I’m sorry that I sounded stupid. I was a bit tired. Correction: I am/was very tired, and annoyed at recording. :P
3 - I didn’t explain myself fully.
Scapegoat in Oklahoma: Big bad guy who ruins everything, then dies in the end, and everything is happy and light… blame is eradicated with the big bad guy.
Songs of Innocence/Songs of Experience: William Blake wrote the Tyger (songs of experience) and the Lamb (songs of innocence). Related to poles of myth.
Also, poles of myth thing = came primarily from wiki. I may not have reworded very well, and I was actually going to reference it when explaining… but I’m not there, and I forgot while I was recording. So here it is:

If I missed anything else, just ask.
