Hello readers!<\/span><\/p>\n

For my midterm evaluation, I will be submitting the following three entries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assignment 1:3 – Question Response<\/span><\/a>
\nIn this post, I had summarized the main points I had found in the final chapter of <\/span>If This is Your Land, Where are Your Stories?<\/span><\/em>\u00a0by J. Edward Chamberlin. Focusing on the significance of storytelling, I recounted the points Chamberlin makes regarding dichotomous cultures and the reasons we may tell stories. I also mention the truth of contradictions and reasons why some contradictions may exist, focusing on the notion that contradictions within stories are simply two sides of the same coin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assignment 1:5 – Stories<\/span><\/a>
\nThe origin of evil was the topic of this post, and it was instructed that we create our own stories based on King’s story on the origin of evil. In this story, we follow a tribe of storytellers, focusing on Leema, a young boy who ascribed to be the most unique storyteller among the tribe-members. However, in his pursuit for the best story, he had found one filled with horror and despair, changing the tribe forever. In my analysis, I had focused on the troubles I encountered while writing, rewriting, performing, and re-performing the story, emphasizing the problem of Western influence in regard to how I tell my story.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assignment 2:4 – The Truth Behind Dichotomies<\/span><\/a>
\nKing is a writer who creates many lenses for us to see through, and that includes the dichotomous society that we live in. In the story of “The Earth Diver”, King focuses on the presence of dichotomy within the culture of stories and urges us to see through those dichotomies as different tellings of the same story. However, he also outlines the presence of dichotomy in particular to the Diver story and “Genesis,” emphasizing the tones of each. In my analysis, I highlight that he may be contradicting himself because he wishes to explore the reasons behind Western and First Nations stories and how they may differ. I also briefly mention that King may refer to these dichotomies as a means to highlight the parallels between stories rather than separate the cultures.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
