Groups 2 and 1 gave their presentations today. Group 2, on the Kane chapter 'Boundaries' was very impressive; detailed and informative and humorous, which always helps. The principal idea to be gleaned from it however, is that in mythology boundaries are crossed but can only be done temporarily, and one returns to the 'real' world having benifitted enormously from what they have learned in the other world. You see this motif frequently in children's literature(hence the references to a rabbit-hole and a great glass elevator, and Oz).
Group 1, 'Maps", my group, set out to accomplish the mapping of landscape locations without tangible types of maps which one would find in a literate context. Hence, a story out of stories was formed. How successful or entertaining it was in this endeavor I will leave to other commentators to surmise.
