Session 2 of Individual Presentations

10) Me: Janet-My Terpsichore. Dance is my life and first love of my life. Janet was my inspiration to dance, therefore, Janet was the Terpsichore of my story. (Coincidentally, Terpsichore is the muse of dance.)
-Terpsichore, Muse of Music and Dance by Jean-Marc Nattier (Picture below)

11) Dan - Daedalus and Icarus. Kansas - Carry on Wayword Son
(Here is the URL to a YouTube video of this song performed by Kansas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB17uWuBrL0)

12) Jared- Calvin (Comic strip) vs. Antigones
-Many times the Comic Calvin and Hobbes represents the 5 conflicts of society as in Antigones.
  • Individual vs Society
  • Old vs Young
  • Dead vs Living
  • Gods vs humans
  • Men vs. women

13) John: Metamorphoses-most of the stories in the Metamorphoses reflect things that happen in daily life.

14) John: (Metamorphoses) Catcher in the Rye and the 5 conflicts of Antigone

15) William - Immortality
-The way people remain immortal, is through the stories they tell. If you want to be immortal, not necessarily in the flesh and breathing state but your sole, TELL STORIES!

16) Mick - Walkabout - a book that references all the stuff we talked about.
-Through walking, you gain knowledge. Your brain is on constant thinking mode.
