Orality Essays

A large portion of Walter Ong’s writings in Orality and Literacy focused on matters that were not quantifiable. It may seem unfair to fault the author because of the uncertain records of pre-writing civilizations, but Ong’s writing’s in chapter three of his book focused on a comparison between generalized points of oral and literate cultures, which created an argument that did not acknowledge basic trends evident in contemporary writing. It is important to note that Ong published his book in the

struggle to interpret rabbinic texts. We know the Talmud is literary, and that it belongs to a unique genre; now, we must attempt to apply the genre to the context of the literature, as was briefly accomplished in the enumeration on the effects of orality on genre. Before doing so, though, it is essential to note the great difficulties which exist in the field. Marc-Alain Ouaknin, “Interpretation,” in his chapter on “Interpretation” in The Burnt Book: Reading the Talmud, warns readers of accepting

This individual, as described in Taggart’s article can be thought of as “the personification of the destructive aspects of orality. She clearly could be the symbolic recasting of the stepmother whose hoarding of food has turned to gluttony” (Taggart). This stuck myself as particularly interesting, for a connection can be found in the final edition of the story written by the

At the turn of the millennium, advancements in technology began to change everyday life worldwide. With the development of the internet, people can connect in more efficient ways through the digital matrix. Although fears of the development of media such as this and its predecessors such as radio and television, these innovations have helped create a worldwide culture based on the web, and the fears of a dystopian future based on technological advancements have dispersed. In such a short amount of

For the clarity of argument, I believe it is important to set a background to understand the cultural and theoretical arena from which black feminism was born. The early feminist agreement of feminism, revolved around the mainstream notion, that feminism was a movement organized exclusively around gender, without thinking about other oppressions (Roth, 2012). A large number of scholars about the second wave of feminist agree that the mainstream feminist movement was white and privileged (Roth, 2012);

Cinematographic thinking starts at the iconic stage, but is by no means the totality or the fullness of it all. Pearce’s categorization of signs defined the iconic stage as that of perceived resemblance. Though Bazin would go to extremes to qualify cinema as a medium in which there is perfect and exact corellation between what is represented and its representation in film, it is important to note that every medium is characterized by some level of abstraction. Cinematrographic specificity should

“If a Child Washes his Hands, he Could Sit with Kings” Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart was written in 1958. In his novel, we learn how the main character Onkonkwo tackles the issues of colonialism and the challenges that arose through his lifetime. A proverb that best describes the goal Onkonkwo strived for his entire life is, “If a Child washes his Hands, he could sit with Kings.” (pg7).

The passage serves a pivotal role in the text, as it acts as an impetus for the conclusion of the Iliad, in which Hektor’s body is finally returned to the Trojans. Apollo opens his speech, on lines 33-34, reminding the gods’ of Hektor’s sacrifices, which brought them honor. He then critiques the gods’

In Nicholas Carr’s article “Is Google Making Us Stupid”, Carr argues that the Internet is causing our reading skills to deteriorate. Conversely in Trent Batson’s article “Response to Nicholas Carr’s ‘Is Google Making Us Stupid?’”, Trent argues against Carr saying that the changes in our reading habits are actually positive. Both writers have valid points within their essays but Batson’s article makes more sense logically. Carr sees only the negative aspects of the Internet on people’s reading and

Our world has been shaped by the people who have come before us and made a change. All of these people have had their own force of impact, but only one hundred were voted into the top one hundred list in the Atlantic addition of “They made America”. On this list I found people I had never even heard of, but also people who truly have impacted the world we live in today.

Despite leading a lifestyle that in his day was considered deviant at best, Oscar Wilde showed a strong interest in the Christian Scripture from early on in his literary career. Working as an editor for Pall Mall magazine let him read many pieces of traditional poetry and prose inspired by the Bible, while trips to Paris exposed him to authors like Gustave Flaubert, Catulle Mendès, and Anatole France and their experiments with secularized Biblical tales.
