my time at the magic place

For this assignment we were asked to tell a story in 6 to 10 panels.  We chose to create a comic strip music video of sorts.  After the consideration of many awesome song options, “Time After Time,” by Cyndi Lauper was chosen.

“Sound exists only when it’s going out of existence.” pg. 32 from Orality and Literacy by Walter J. Ong

I started thinking about a computer language that would be sound, only. Maybe fax machines or tones on phones work this way?

The idea of an orally literate person reading more into questions than what is explicitly expressed is something I have attrributed to emotionally based people, rather than an oral literacy.

The idea of getting with a story, (pg. 60) giving it time to sink in is a noteable difference, for me, from memorization of a text. Makes me think of a possible distinction in singers who either memorize a song in a way that’s copying versus learning a song by bringing into one’s own ‘nest of songs’ so to speak. like the difference between a guest at yoiur house who you don’t really intend to have back compared to one who you have adopted into the family.
