Walt Whitman's Song of Myself (Section 49) deals primarily with the subject of life and death. Rather than stopping at the subject of life and death, Whitman takes Song of Myself (Section 49) a step further by introducing the idea of life, death, and then rebirth. Whitman then goes on to state that he has no doubt that he has died 'ten thousand times before' – implying that he believes in the 'circle of life' (the idea that our lives resemble a full circle). A gothic contemporary artwork that employs the theme of the 'circle of life' is Gustav Klimt's Death and Life.]]> 2022-10-27 16:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mwarnick22/9x5tza2tbfwqvgmy/wish/2359396625 mwarnick22 https://padlet.com/mwarnick22/9x5tza2tbfwqvgmy/wish/2359397187
Maxine Hong Kingston's "No Name Woman" focuses primarily on the idea(s) of tradition and identity. Despite being told the story of the 'No Name Woman' and warned against premarital sex, Kingston firmly believes that there's more to the tale. She rejects the idea that the 'No Name Woman' should be held accountable for her actions and (instead) focuses on the man in the situation. Unlike the 'No Name Woman', the man in the situation was spared from ridicule and exile due to (Old Chinese) values and traditions. A gothic contemporary franchise that utilizes similar themes (the idea(s) of family, secrets, and tradition) is "The Conjuring" franchise.]]> 2022-10-27 16:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mwarnick22/9x5tza2tbfwqvgmy/wish/2359397187 whyrhetoric https://padlet.com/mwarnick22/9x5tza2tbfwqvgmy/wish/2361465530 Mackenzie, very cool connection to The Conjuring. It ticks a lot of those gothic buttons! Set in the past, occult, death, haunting, etc. I like your idea with Klimt. Can you talk me through it a bit more? How are you seeing the tropes/social critique in this piece?]]> 2022-10-29 12:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mwarnick22/9x5tza2tbfwqvgmy/wish/2361465530
