Today was the first day of the individual presentations of our term papers. Those that went were Gerad of the Open Plain, Sutter the Sacker of Cities, Kelsey of the Late Rent, Keen Kenning Ben, Brandon, Zazen Zach, Quick-wit Nick, and Crazy Coffee Carly. All of them offered piquant topics, though I was interested to see that there were seemed to be a trope of music running through this batch. This probably is a comment in and of itself on the importance of music within the oral tradition and beyond.

It was also mentioned that for the final exam, we will need to be familar with what Yates has to say about Robert Fludd(who hypothesied that Shakespeare's Globe Theatre was actually constructed as a memory theatre), and Chapter 7 in Ong, which relates heavily to literary criticism.
