Writing about Archetype:

- Name Archetype- Either explicitly link to other texts or layout the patterns/rules of that archetype- Explaining how the item/person/situation fits into the archetype- Explain the assumptions that can be made about that item/person/situation because of the archetype

Which of the 4 above is this person doing incompletely? Which of the 4 above have they not done at all?

Reading the following paragraph and label each of the four above:

Archetypes in their simplest forms are “Stereotypical” or outlined characters and symbols that follow traditional schools of idea and thought that lend to analysis of the scene. In this scene the characters and symbols lend an archetypal analysis to better understand what is going on. First, an analysis of the characters, their expressions and their interactions with each other lend to this idea that they are, in terms of an archetype, a loving family. The father appears to play with his daughter as the mother happily watches the two. They are content and joyous. Looking in the background, one can see a photograph of a similar family, symbolizing that the past is the present and suggesting that the present will continue into the future. This family is not only dedicated to each other, but is hard-working in their other world. The father appears to wear the under-outfit of a suit as his hat, the symbol of professionalism and work, hangs on the wall. There appear to be dishes in the dishwasher as the mother enjoys her meal. Archetypal analysis provides a deeper

understanding of the scene at hand and provides evidence of a loving interactive family.

Reader Response

Which of the four has this writer left out?

Look at the following A-. They did very well but didn’t get to the point that they discussed the author’s agenda. Glance at the image and explain what they should have said about that.
