The third week of AP literature was heavily centered around our summer reading books and taking information from the books to make visual metaphors to represent the books. Our visual metaphor was a bridge and the base of the bridge (the strongest part of the bridge that keeps it standing) was the main theme of the visual metaphor. On the bridge, there was a man walking across and he represented the wise old man archetype from the book that we had read over the summer and it represents archetypes for other books as well. On the cables that connect the bridge to the suspensions, there are other archetypes from other books so that the bridge represents all archetypes. Under the bridge there is a boat with the name of a book on it because it falls under the idea of archetypes and it adds to the visual metaphor. Another thing we talked about this week is a story vs. literature. A piece of literature is written with an intention in mind with a timeless message that is able to be conveyed through the piece. Stories are written with a finish in mind. A complete endpoint. The difference between stories and literature would be the impact the author has in mind and its future influence. Some pieces may be both. Only really great stories can become pieces of literature.
