- 2. Cooley Eng 12CP Name Patrick Cooley English 12CP 30/October/15 “Title of Chapter” KEY CONCEPTS RECORDED NOTES What is the one story theory? What does archetypes mean? What is the meaning of intertextuality? What does parody archetypes mean? Intertextuality and how to use it? Why do writers keep making/telling the same story? The makers all think the same way and that is. Shakespeare? 3 sub-types The one story theory is about how all stories or movies that come out we know that there is only one original source. Archetypes is a symbol or character with in the story that could be a person or an object that keeps recurring throughout the story. Intertextuality is a reference from another movie or song that is put into another movie. they also use allusions and parodies with in it. Parody archetypes are symbol that takes a reference from a movie or story and puts the reference in a different movie. Intertextuality is used by using something the director or author has created and taking the original by putting it into another movie that has nothing that is anywhere near the main movie. Examples would be Pulp Fiction and Breaking Bad It’s harder for authors or directors to make something that is pure original without making something from the original. Example “when you go camping and pitch your tent someone else has been in your footsteps and have done it before you”. Storytellers = Poets = they all have something in common which is using Directos= something original and changing it to make it their own The one story theory all started with him Ego Soul these three make up the character within the story Self
- 3. Cooley Eng 12CP SUMMARY: In the chapter “ What Is The One Story Theory” no matter how many stories, poems, or movies we read or watch there will always be something about the story that will relate with other genres such as for example. Norse sagas, Samoan Snorgg, and Gravity’s Rainbow with many other stories that are out there. Later in the chapter the author asks us if writers know about this theory or do they know and they continue to write anyways because people like what they present. Instead of change we tend to stick with what we know rather than having to make that big jump to overcome something that will take time to grasp but might make life more interesting. Sometimes when authors or directors take something and want to make there own they tend to abuse the originators work rather than taking the work and giving them the benefit of the doubt like it says in the reading “But I must not ape the master”. By the end of the chapter I learned when reading is that one story theories are full of symbols, religion, myths, and race all take an important role with it the story, and by taking all those and making something original about it is harder to do when there was something before it all ready created.
