Sherry
Turkle shows how much the memory of objects from childhood influences what we
do later in life. For Accawi and Gundersheimer, the memory of childhood is
vivid when it comes to particular objects. Some of these objects are
photographs, but others are objects that people use every day. What makes an
object memorable and what do they/we remember about it?
In
your third paper consider the relationship between memory and objects. Use both
the notion of object-to-think-with and the object-as-memory to discover what
bring together memory, affection, and identity.
In
order to prepare the paper, read the texts carefully and locate the passages that
are relevant to the assignment. By focusing on these passages and working to
analyze and interpret them, you will be able to generate ideas for your paper.
Make the ideas you generate converge and express them synthetically in a
conclusion. Feel free to use relevant personal experiences as well, but do not
forget to compare them to the ones described by the authors and analyze them in
the same way you do the text. Avoid making the paper into coverage of the
texts; rather, arrange the ideas you have generated in the order dictated by
your own thought process.
Your paper should be 4
pages (1000 words) or longer.
