(Short) Assignment for Thursday 10.24

Now that you've read about what Pelias/Shaffer had to say about storytelling and myth and listened to a real-life depiction of this issue from the RadioLab podcast, I'd like you to think about how these concepts relate to your re-framing of your Intermedia/Ethnography issue.

For Thursday please post 3-5 sentences describing how the process of coming up with a new perspective for your issue relates to the content of the "Yellow Rain" podcast and/or Ch. 4 of Pelias/Shaffer. Some issues to consider when posting:

• How does culture shape people's perceptions/opinion on the issue?
• How has your own personal experience(s) shaped your perception of the issue?
• What is the difference between Truth and Fact in this case?
• Does your process of coming up with an alternative perspective on your issue resonate more with the Hopper Method or the Personal Narrative Method? To reiterate from the reading:
• Hopper Method - objective is to replicate the storytelling as closely as possible to the original
• Personal Narrative - the objective is to be as authentic as possible to the performer’s own interpretation of the event
