Document Summary

Writing 101 literature of the black diaspora 11 february 2016 lecture 7. Discussion questions: ted williams" truth and representation : ted williams focuses extensively on the comparison of history and mythology in his thesis. Look especially at the second full paragraph on page 284 of the essay: It is nota question of simply choosing between antipodal meanings at work in the text, the historical or the mythical, the contingent or the universal, the temporal or the timeless. Could williams have explained this dichotomy of meanings more clearly: williams begins his argumentative essay with three quotes from three different authors, and he continues to reference other scholars throughout the essay. Williams also relies heavily on quotes from the novel and uses 79 just from omeros. Opens more space for others to come in but acts as a cop out to not make his own conclusion.
