Judson By Art Kohn Analysis

Improved Essays
I wonder how the author of the tale remembered so many details in a story. I don’t think anyone could remember anything exactly if they thought about it a few weeks later, “Within 24 hours, they have forgotten an average of 70 percent of new information, and within a week, forgetting claims an average of 90 percent of it.”- Art Kohn. Our brains often forget a lot of things and sometimes it forgets important things too, yes, the author could have remembered the whole story if it were that important or bizarre to him but he couldn’t have remembered it all. I think that him being so detailed in his story means it is fiction.

I wonder why did Judson, a side character, have such a problem with animals noises that he killed dogs. I think he might

Those people are freed from venal and also mortal sins, all the penitence they took pleasure in, consumed from the punishment for their sins in this world and the punishment of purgatory in the next world, safe from the tortures of hell, in the glory and honor of being crowned in eternal benediction.…

    money is stolen by a one-eyed man played by John Goodman, a reference to the Cyclops whichOdysseus meets. Once the third member is recovered and the three friends are again together andon their way home, they disguise themselves as the Soggy Bottom Boys, a folk group whose hitsong “Man of Constant Sorrow”. These are two more references to the original story in that Odysseus himself returns to Ithaca disguised as a beggar, much like the folk of the dust bowl era,and his name, Odysseus, has been said to mean the man of constant sorrow. 3 With all of thesereferences, and still more not mentioned, it seems as though the source material would be easy todecipher, but hiding it among a seemingly original, early 1900s American story, with culturalreferences appropriate to the time frame, keeps some audience members unaware.…

    But as they can speak, and some of them can speak well, speech incurs dissatisfaction within the pack, which complicates dogs’ purposes of living. From “It wasn’t just that Prince was twisting their clear, noble language, it was that Prince has gone beyond the canine” (Alexis 26), it can be inferred that the superfluous use of language incurs antipathy, and this kind of antipathy later magnifies to be a conspiracy of eliminating those who enjoy new language. If they lived in a pattern of hunting and gathering, and communicated by merely barking, who would have felt so bad and would have planned such a scheme to get rid of pack members? It is the infusion of language as well as human intelligence that makes them so different.…

    In Chapter 1, “Every Trip Is a Quest (Except When It’s Not),” of How to Read Literature Like a Professor, author Thomas C. Foster claims that a quest can be defined structurally using 5 elements: (1) a quester, (2) a place to go, (3) a stated reason to go there, (4) challenges and trials en route, and (5) a real reason to go there (Paragraph 1.8). Foster’s claim allows me to view literature with a new perspective, thus improving my understanding of various works. I can assume that improving his readers’ grasp on literature was Foster’s purpose, because he ends the chapter with the statement: “Once you figure out quests, the rest is easy.” With the knowledge that even trips to the grocery store can be considered quests, as exemplified, though hypothetically, in paragraphs 1-6 of the chapter, I can predict what will occur in a story without any sort of blatant foreshadowing by applying the structural elements of a quest. Foster’s hypothetical example, which was stated earlier, follows a sixteen-year-old named Kip to the store for a loaf of bread.…
