Hey, I was wondering what are the main ideas you would talk about in regards to Vertigo? Just because I am struggling a bit with the Module.
My main ideas were moving from an urban to rural landscape, and how the boy shows the journey of Luke and Anna as they move on from a world of grief. You should talk about how distinctively visual assists the reader to look at L+A's journey as they learn to live with what they've gone through.
Here's a few things you can talk about in an essay:
- The fire is a metaphor for renewal
- The birds symbolise Luke's personal journey (especially the one he doesn't know the name of!). He doesn't know the name of the bird at the end, but he comes to terms with his loss even though he'll never know the boy.
- The Promised Land motif/metaphor is representative of the rural landscape - it's meant to be an escape for them, to run away from their grief because the city is described as suffocating, like in the first line of the book: "There are birds in the city, but in the city, you rarely see them..." etc etc I can't remember the quote.
- the boy!!!!! super important - he's the reason Luke and Anna are going through the things they're going through.
Distinctively Visual is just writing out bs. A lot of it. You choose the themes you want, then you pick out some quotes you think would go well, go through the techniques, then explain how it's distinctively visual, i.e. make up some stuff about how the reader can experience it for themselves or something.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
