Jung: Archetypes, Etc. (Monday, 01/16/2006, 4th Period)

[romanywitch]

"Hey, guys. Today, we're going to be watching Star Wars IV: A New Hope Space Battles XII: A New Start. It's a pretty good example of The Hero's Journey, one of Jung's archetypal stories. So watch the movie, read the handouts, come up with a good question, and we'll discuss the concept on Thursday.

ETA: The door to the classroom is closed to minimize disturbances from the hallway.


OOC: I've been offline all day due to work issues, and I'm sorry for having posted this so late. And I think we don't have a fake Star Wars title, but if so, someone let me know and I'll correct this.

"Yeah, well, I can probably rival for dysfunction," Rory said. "I mean, not a vampire, but still pretty damn screwed up."

"We'd spend all the meetings saying, 'No, my daddy didn't love me,' and 'No, seriously, my mother is way crazier than yours.'"

"We could always arm wrestle to see who wins."

"Well, we all know who would win that."

"Yeah, but I like to think you'd indulge me in at least pretending I had a shot."

"I'm nice like that, yeah."

"Think arm-wrestling's part of a hero's journey?"

"One of the various trials, maybe?"

Anakin caught Rory's eye and gave her a rueful smile.

His family life wasn't exactly what people would think of as normal, either.

Rory returned the smile with a slight blush.

Sometimes she needed a reminder that she still had some family.
