Please send all homework and extra credit SEPERATELY to [email protected] with the subject "HW2-HOL ID" or "EC2-HOL ID" (so my first assignment would have the subject "HW2-iv823") by OCTOBER 31st, 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 TWO
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 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 in this lesson. 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 (2 pts each, 10 pts total):
1. “The Hierophant represents the need to stop thinking of one’s self and consider the bigger picture - to do things ___ ___ _________ ____”.
2. “There is both joy and _____ in coming to understand ______.”
3. “It is indeed a _______ ____ to understand the ______ that guide oneself.”
4. “The steeds pulling the chariot are often of different colours. This represents the need for a _____ ___ ________. The Chariot represents the need as well as the ability to bring them together and give them a single direction - ______ _______.”
5. “The ______ card is all about inner strength gained from enduring hardships and the outward ________ that comes with it.”
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. Read them carefully! Some might not be as easy as they appear.
1. The Hierophant card shows a man with his left hand raised in a fist.
2. The Hierophant is a symbol of education, conservatism, obedience to rules, and a relationship with the divine.
3. The Lovers card ALWAYS represents a romantic choice or opportunity.
4. It is all well and good to conform in order to learn and grow, but the Fool cannot lose himself in the process.
5. In a tarot reading, the Chariot represents one's ability to conquer the challenges they are facing if only they harness and direct their willpower.
6. The Chariot really is a symbol of "investigating" and pondering one's own path, quietly approaching and analyzing anything that crosses your path.
7. The Strength card is a representation of physical force and brute strength. In a tarot reading, it advises you to strong-arm people into submission to you will.
8. If one were to describe the Strength card’s image using psychology terminology, the lion would be representative of the “id” and the woman would symbolize the “superego”.
9. The Hermit Arcana represents arrogance and hatred of society.
10. The Hermit can represent the need to withdraw from society as well as the need to return to society after withdrawal.
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. (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.)

EXTRA CREDIT TWO
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 during the stages discussed in this lesson. Continue your previous submission if you did this option before OR start a new one - give the Fool a name, a personality, start writing his or her adventure from the Hierophant to the Hermit. 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 second five stages of the Fool's journey (the number of stages you need to cover for this writing option really only depends on how long your stories are. You are, of course, incredibly welcome to go above and beyond and cover all the stages) 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!
