i finished it 😌😌
#the ap lit chronicles
#personal
#honestly it was not bad i just didnt like having to physically write notes every thirty seconds
#(i ended up w over 50 pages lmaoo)
#i especially enjoyed the last chapter where the author had us analyze a short story ourselves
#like i said earlier it was a lovely story and on top of that he gave a couple students’ analyses as well as his own at the end and those
#were both v interesting imo
#one of the students wrote abt the symbolism of birds flight ascension etc
#and while i caught onto many of those comparisons i didnt connect them to the theme of the story as a whole so that was fun
#and i didnt think it would get any better but then the author put in HIS analysis and wowow
#he said he thought the mother in the story (the garden party) represented demeter (not just bc of the garden) and that her daughter was
#persephone visiting the underworld bc of her attire and in her taking after her mother and how she literally went downhill to a part of town
#to give food as condolences to the family of someone who’d just died and how on her way there there was lots of shadow symbolism and a dog
#that could have stood in for cerberus and someone at the house she visits who leads her to the body and the wife of the person who died aka
#a guide through the underworld and how when she gets back home immediately shes met w a statement abt how anxious her mother has been
#(paralleling demeter’s worry over persephone having gone to hades) and yeah.. yeah i was sitting there like :0
#would recommend that short story by the way esp with that interpretation in mind!!
#again it’s the garden party by katherine mansfield
