Ideas for Day of the Dead Parade

Hi group!!

Congrats on winning 5 points during our Twitter session on Friday, you guys are basically awesome!

Most of us agreed that we would like to participate in the Institute's assignment regarding the Day of the Dead Parade. They have asked that we somehow show the answer to one of the twitter questions we had in class. I am opening up this blog post for us to discuss what we think would be the best way to do this. Start sharing ideas!!

Institute Assignment: 9 Puzzles

Hi group!! I made this blog because I think it will be easier to talk back and forth to each other! The discussion for this week regarding the 9 puzzles is the following:

Do all of the puzzles belong in this category - why or why not? How do these things differ from memorial statuary, or other objects and things associated with mourning? What is the role of objects (as opposed to ritual) in the process of grief, mourning and remembering? How might you think of these ideas in relation to the Winter's Tale?

Feel free to talk about certain puzzles that were difficult to figure out, or any that you are still unable to figure out. Try and talk to each other, don't just post something completely unrelated to the conversation! Thanks guys, you're the best group ever!
