The 1101 Podcast

Since we have read the graphic novel adaptation of The Metamorphosis by Peter Kuper (based off of Franz Kafka's famous novel), I wanted to give you an opportunity to hear from the man who created the beautiful and highly symbolic art within that story. We talk about his inspirations, The Metamorphosis, some of his other works, and his love of insects (makes sense with Gregor doesn't it?). 

Here is his website where you can see some of his other work.

In this episode, I am joined by my friend Sam and we discuss "Medea." We discuss our reactions to reading the play, the archetypes of the story (and how Medea/Jason do/don't fit into the hero/villain archetypes), and we close it out with a Top 5. 

I am once again joined by my friend Sam, video game business website editor, to discuss Peter Kuper's graphic novel adaptation of Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. We discuss whether or not the changes really happened to him, the artistic direction of the graphic novel, as well as other important aspects of the novel. We finish up talking about Sam's Top 5 of his favorite part of fall.

In this episode, we look at some of the comments that Brutus makes in Act I Scene II to figure out whether or not he is really in it for Rome or if he is in it for Brutus. There is no right answer, but it's always good to look at these topics from multiple angles. Later, Professor Williams joins us to answer your questions from last semester. Thanks for the questions and keep them coming!

You ask, I answer! After receiving several questions about writing prior to next week's brief write, I listened to some of the most common questions and attempted to give advice that will improve your writing. Let me know if you have any other questions that I didn't answer in the pod!

In this episode, Williams recaps Scenes 1 and 2 of Act 1, discusses some of the characters, and finishes with his top 5 concerts he's ever attended!
