Topic 6: Stan Lee
In light of recent events we knew it wouldn’t be right to make such a project without honouring the man who started it all.
For this topic we ask you to share some of your favourite Stan Lee moments and to thank his memory for such a legacy. Then tell us;
“What was your favourite Stan lee cameo?”
(This topic may be replacing topic one.)

Theme: Making Choices
We see the theme of choice often in stories where a character has many decisions to make that could impact their life, or the life of others. Studying multicultural literature can help us understand how people from different places and backgrounds might make choices differently or feel stuck making a choice they are not in agreement with.
For teachers:
An author many secondary students are already acquainted with is Sylvia Plath. Plath has a beautiful metaphor at the end of The Bell Jar about choice, and her metaphor is often used as inspiration in other pieces of writing and media, so some students may have heard it referenced before: the choices the protagonist of her story has are represented by figs on a tree as she sits at the trunk of it drying to make a decision, but one by one they all rot and fall to the ground. The death of the figs represents the feelings she had about how making one choice robs you of other possible avenues in life, and making no choice is a choice in and of itself. This same idea is explored in “The Garden of Forking Paths” by Borges, which we read during this topic. Students could benefit from a goal setting exercise about making choices to understand how they make their own based on their priorities and the opportunities available to them.

Reflection
When I first came across Granary square I did not immediately realise I was there, the space is bounded by buildings and through pedestrianisation rather than by the typical fences. It is also much less natural than a traditional square. There is no grass and only a few trees.
Tilley explores the difference between place and space. Space as “involved in action” (1994: Pp 10) and place as producing identity. Space is also described as socially constructed with different people experiencing a space in different ways. For some people in my tutorial this square was not English but for me it was very familiar of the squares found in my home, Manchester. Which are all made of stone, whereas grassier areas of the city are referred to as gardens.
Granary square is part of a global city. I saw people speaking different languages and the the sculptures displayed were by non-British artists.
The square is also a product of its historical context although it is not instantly obvious:
Industrial buildings
Environmental campaigning
No cars and places to lock up your bike
recycling bins
Some of the ideals and social values in the square were:
Cleanliness
Nostalgia for industry
As a privately owned public space it is possible the square can afford to invest more in cleaning than council run squares. Use of the space was also controlled though planting trees that can not be climbed and railings. However, road etiquette appeared to be subverted as several times I saw pedestrians and cyclists almost crash.
