[collecting and collections]
The supreme pioneer is the totalizing collector, the ‘completist’ like Noah. Such a collector can brook no constraint…to possess a complete category in each and every of its variations. …to exercise control over existence itself…(3)
[Other motivations include] desires for suppression and ownership, fears of death and oblivion, hopes of commemoration and eternity. (5)

[fetishes]Anxiety-relieving objects that are collected to bridge the distance between subject (collector) and object (collected) to cope with the sense of being cut off from the world.
(Elsner and Cardinal, 104)

[the salvaged and the souvenir]
Salvage has to do with reclamation, restoration, accumulation and exchange.
Souvenirs confer authenticity to the past and serve as the primary function of remembering.
(Elsner and Cardinal, 244)

Guidelines for your novel papers
• Do not use 1st person; say “the novel suggests” or “the reader can see” or “one can infer that.”
• Use “because” as a way of letting the reader know why you think something is worth investigating.
![Page 19: Caught or Saved by Things Week 10](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56815175550346895dbfaab8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Do not• use the Internet or other resources to learn about your
novel, except those listed under resources or approved by instructor in advance.
• use slang: "you guys”
• ask rhetorical questions: "Why does the author go into such detail?”
• (A rhetorical question is a question that goes unanswered.)

DO
• Use spell check and grammar check.
• Introduce and explain quotes, for example:
When Calvino writes, "This is a city is of signs," he means that the residents rely on images more than their senses.
• DO NOT drop in quotes without telling the reader who is speaking.
![Page 21: Caught or Saved by Things Week 10](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56815175550346895dbfaab8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Use the present tense when describing an event in the novel.
Examples: When Jimmy Cross gives the order to pack up, Henry runs.
•Calvino writes about cities.
![Page 22: Caught or Saved by Things Week 10](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081420/56815175550346895dbfaab8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stay within the novel.Don’t speculate on directions the author hasn’t taken with
his/her story.• Inappropriate: When Calvino writes, "This is a city is of
signs," he means that the residents rely on images more than their senses. Times Square is like this. The lights dominate the buildings. People should pay more attention to architecture.
• Appropriate: When Calvino writes, "This is a city is of
signs," he means that the residents rely on images more than their senses. They map their days in the city by reading words and images on buildings. They pay little attention to the physical, three-dimensional state of their buildings. This is the city as stage set; it has no depth.
