almost break time and you can feel it in the classroom. everyone is ready for a week off. not there just yet though. still got this lecture notes to get through.

it’s all about lists this week as adrian discussed what the literary value was of lists compared to narrative. lists are quick ways of getting points across. they can reveal thought patterns more tellingly than a narrative. written stories have been thought over for ages, lists are the quick work of the immediate brain. but lists also move us away from the restrictions of narrative. they don’t conform and can allow the brain to go in many different directions which don’t necessarily have to relate to one another. perhaps lists don’t tell stories, but they are told by people can reveal just as much. they can provide a method for answering a problem, the true question is what to do with the content. a list has a far greater means of interpretation. lists allow for the creating of relations.

woo. go lists! i love writing lists. ok, maybe not so much
