Reflecting on the process of writing a story

 By far the most interesting assignment from this class was writing narnia fanfiction. I know that's not what we called it, but that's basically what it was. I've never considered myself to be much of an author. Sure I write about all kinds of deep topics as a philosophy major, but I enjoy conversations far more than writing. I've always been the type to enjoy a presentation more than a paper. However I did end up liking the process of writing my story of reepicheep.  I found that my story developed best without trying to plan it all in advance. I liked leaving little details in the beginning that gave me room to play with towards writing the end of the story. I didn't really have in mind where I was going with the story as I was telling it. I just told it, and let me discover the story along the way. This means that my readers to experience the same surprises I did along the journey of writing. This seems to be a similar experience to Lewis himself who said his of narnia only came from one picture in his mind to start with, that later grew into what it was.

Blog #6: The "Little Abortive Secondary World" of Narnia: So Much Sexism! - Vickie GG

For the most part, I would argue that, in terms of mythopoeia, Lewis is a "successful sub-creator. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is 'true': it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside." (Tolkien, "On Fairy Stories," 60).  However, there is one thing that keeps booting me out of the world of Narnia, such that I'm "then out in the Primary World again, looking at the little abortive Secondary World from outside": rampant sexism. I always seek and am granted re-entry back into Narnia after sexist moments in the texts, but it is a little frustrating to be so frequently ejected from the Secondary World. The question is: are these frequent ejections really Lewis's "fault" as writer / World creator, or is the shortcoming actually my own? In other words, is it fair to hold authors of past times to the social standards of our modern ti...

#10 - Outside Reading 4 - Beyond Fake News

  I read a book about misinformation entitled, “Beyond Fake News” by Justin McBrayer. It dove into various topics about misinformation from its growth and spread to its effects and pervasive nature. In one of the chapters, McBrayer wrote about how news sources have incentives that rank higher on their list than sharing what is true. Their incentives for money which is gained only through selling peoples’ attention to advertisers is one such incentive. In order to hold peoples’ attention, they do any number of things. One thing that is common is to take a relatively unimportant piece of news and weave a very compelling narrative around it. People are easily sucked into stories, while plain information is not as enticing. This allows news sources to weave partially true tales that are enjoyable for readers and cause them to engage with them. Oftentimes engagement with narratives causes more important news to be less popular, and thus put forward less. Interesting how humans’ connecti...

"Magic" According to Lewis & Tolkien - Kate Bennett

     I had never read the Chronicles of Narnia before becoming a student in this class. Against a good amount of my classmates' advice, I decided it would be best to try and digest the content chronologically, rather than in the order they were released by. So, my journey in Narnia begins with The Magician's Nephew . I immediately noticed a kind of connection between Lewis' words and the concepts we had explored prior to diving into Narnia, particularly in regards to the term 'magic'. In his work, "On Fairy-Stories," Tolkien made an important distinction between 'magic' and faerie. While many take the terms to mean the same thing, Tolkien exposes that magic is a type of manipulation of the primary world, while faerie concerns a completely secondary world altogether. This act of manipulation isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can be harmful when it is equated to the power of faerie. Instead, Tolkien proposes the term 'enchantment' to ...
