Archetype Assignment (Teachers are Getting Pretty Creative)

So, as you can tell from my blog title, we got a new assignment today in literature class. Basically, what you do is select a character from television or movies, and then you write a critique on it and make a poster using symbols that resemble that character's and archetypes traits. I was going to pick Sam Winchester from Supernatural, but Amie (my best friend) stole it from right under my nose, so I chose instead Dr. Walter Bishop from Fringe.

I have never seen Fringe but I have heard of it, and now I have an excuse to watch it! Which is the most amazing piece of homework I've ever gotten, so now I can watch Fringe on the computer and take notes and spend all my time on the internet reading character bios for him and it's considered 'working diligently.'

So, that's it.

Oh! If you would like to know what archetype Dr. Bishop is (played by John Noble. Other credits include 24, and Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (DENETHOR!)) he is the mad scientist archetype. In fact, before the show, he was in a insane asylum for seventeen years, and was involved in many unethical experiments.

So, he's like Dr. Frankenstein or Dr. Evil, or Dr. Hamsterveil (from Lilo and Stitch: The Animated Series) Pretty cool, huh?

Hey, anyone notive how all these guys are doctors? Guess, Ms. C was right, doctors are evil.

Ja Ne!~

I agree about it being an awesome assignment. For the first time ever I'm actually excited about doing an assignment, very excited in fact. Being the X-files fan that I am, I picked Fox Mulder as my archetype.

Oh man the X-files was an amazing show! Man, everyone hates doctors apparently.
