Interlude 2 One Story Presented by Haley Johnston and Jessica Meyer
Everything is taken from one story The idea is that through history, every idea has been thought of and recorded and used. There is nothing new Everything has already been written down, and those things have been based of previous writings
Thomas Foster “On one level, everyone who writes anything knows that pure originality is impossible. Everywhere you look, the ground is already camped on. So you sigh and pitch your tent where you can, knowing someone else has been there before.”(p.187)
Intertextuality A concept Foster uses which essentially means “everything’s connected” Anything written, and anything that will be written, will be related to some other book
Archetype The mythological base of the word is “pattern”. A bunch of ideas that reoccur often: swordfights, a quest, jumping into water, etc. At the same time, they are comforting in their familiarity, rather than annoying or too repetitive.
