Please send all homework and extra credit SEPERATELY to [email protected] with the subject "HW3-HOL ID" or "EC3-HOL ID" (so my first assignment would have the subject "HW1-iv823") by NOVEMBER 30th, MIDNIGHT HOL TIME. If you have any questions about the assignment OR YOU NEED AN EXTENSION FOR ANY REASON please send me a HOL message, as I'll only be checking the class e-mail between once a week or twice a month to grade, so you'll get a much more timely answer by messaging me. My HOL ID is iv823. Thanks!
ASSIGNMENT THREE
Choose any combination of the following to add up to your 30 homework points. If you do more than 30 points worth of work it won't count as bonus or extra credit marks, so I recommend only doing what you need to do, unless you're really excited or something and just feel like doing everything.
Option 1: Describe what each card in the lesson represented. Please try to use full sentences and describe the card’s meaning in your own words as much as you can. You only have to list two of the things it represents, but try and elaborate past just the words – i.e. if you want to tell me that the Empress represents the “mothering instinct”, give me details about what that means. Minimum is two sentences per card, to which I will award up to 10 points. Maximum is 6 sentences per card, which can be awarded up to 30 points.
(Basically you get a point per sentence as long as the sentence actually tells me something/has some substance, and yes, if you have really long sentences to try and describe your thoughts I’ll take that into consideration as well, although I’m looking for quality over quantity.)
Option 2: Describe the journey of the Fool so far. Minimum is two sentences per card, to which I will award up to 10 points.
Maximum is 4 sentences per card, which can be awarded up to 20 points.
Option 3: Fill in the Blanks (10 pts total):
1.“Alongside ____ exists _____, the bearer of cruelty.”
2. “To find the one true ____, one must seek _______ amidst ______...”
3. “Though debated by ___________ himself… the ____________ card is
most widely accepted to represent
sacrifice.”
4.“It _____________ who you are… ______ awaits you.”
5. “The _____ represents self-bondage to a belief or desire that is preventing you from growing.”
Option 4: True/False (1pt each, 10 pts total) – if you claim something is false, please tell me why it’s false or what the correct answer is.
1. The Wheel of Fortune is known to be the wheel of the Goddess Fortuna.
2. The letters “T-A-R-O” represent the word “Tarot” on the Wheel of Fortune.
3. Justice is sometimes known as “Virtue”.
4. The Justice Arcana represents more than just justice – it also represents the ability to stay objective and rational.
5. The Hanged Man represents death.
6. In the Journey of the Fool, the Fool realizes that loss is a terrifying reality and he is unable to move forward from this point.
7. The Death Arcana always represents a physical death that is going to occur.
8. In the Journey of the Fool, the Fool comes to understand that death is not permanent – it is merely a transition.
9. The Temperance Arcana symbolizes self-control and harmony.
10. In a Tarot reading, the Temperance card represents the need to drink a glass of water.
Option 5: Tell me what you thought each card was going to represent before you read the actual descriptions from the lesson. Minimum is two sentences per card, to which I will award up to 10 points. Maximum is 6 sentences per card, which can be awarded up to 30 points.

EXTRA CREDIT THREE
Choose ONE of the following options for your 30 extra credit points:
Option 1: Draw/create a graphic for/make some sort of visual representation of any of the 5 tarot cards we discussed in the lesson. Make sure to include some or all of the visual elements that card is said to have - or, if you want to include none of them, include a brief explanation of why you chose to change the card or what symbols you've put in the place of the symbols you've removed. Alternatively ,you could make a fun, comical image mocking the irony or duality of many of the tarot cards - for example, the Empress represents the need to protect and nurture, and yet this often leads to the suffocation or "caging" of the Fool for a time. You can do this in the form of a short comic, a "meme", or basically anything else you can think of that allows you to get sort of satirical or explain the confusing nature of the tarot.
Option 2: Write your own creative account of the Fool's journey so far. Give the Fool a name, a personality, start writing his or her adventure from the Fool stage to the Emperor stage. They can learn the lessons in any way you'd like, so long as they learn the correct lessons or have the correct "visions" in the correct order. You can have the story free-flow together or you can clearly outline which stage of the journey the Fool is in. Alternatively, give me a real-life example for a situation where you've experienced yourself or seen someone else in the first five stages of the Fool's journey (the number of stages you need to cover for this alternate writing option really only depends on how long your stories are.) I'm looking for a minimum of 300 words here, in order to adequately capture the journey.
Option 3: Complete the following jigsaw puzzle of one of the arcana cards we studied in the lesson AND tell me which card it is and what it mainly represents (only about a sentence, no need for detail.) Upload a screenshot of the finished card to a photo-hosting site like Photobucket or Tinypic and send me the LINK ONLY. If you need help with this, don't be afraid to poke me!
