we're reading a book by lule on american journalism, where he breaks down the 7 cultural archetypes guiding news stories. it's pretty neat because his argument is that these archetypes are the core characters in nearly every story. so the first question will be on what archetypes/archetypal narratives fit in this article. i think that'll be neat since i suspect the majority will go with "trickster" since the trickster archetype case study was about a guy, but i'm hoping that some will go with "good mother"-->"terrible mother" even tho that'll be some mental gender-bending.

i haven't thought of the other questions yet, TBH.
