Document Summary

Lecture 12: song of kali, crash: exam. Part a) 8 passages of short stories with author"s name and title, must pick 4 and discuss their signi cance. Part b) essay questions (there are 7 approx) and write on 3 different texts per question: review lecture notes and nd common course themes, essay: have a title, a rough thesis statement. Don"t just rephrase the essay question, have a focus. Don"t need quotes just concrete info: crash is a postmodern novel, the fantasy world becomes the reality where people pursue their unconscious desires in the world. One person died with a smile on their face . Come home or i"ll skin you alive : pinnacle of novel when robert is kidnapped, drugged and thinks he has sex with kali. Central part problematizes that we cannot trust robert"s perceptions or experiences anymore. This should be the central part of the text where we anticipate death but it does not come.
