Class Notes

La Traviata

Escaping to the wilderness!  Industrial Revolution caused cities to pop up and there was a lot of suffering.  Paintings depict landscapes because it's an escape from reality.  It leaves the symbolic for a moment to explore the real.

Christ says before we makes sense of all this, let's just feel this.  --> Is that what the Nephites refer to when they aren't allowed to write what Christ says?  The spirit was communicating to them in such a perfect way, that if they try to put words to it that meaning will be lost?

Semantics - using correct words to describe meaning.  However, our imperfect language is limited and isn't the most effective form of communication. 

Finding Universality through individuality.  Address yourself instead of everyone, and you can connect with them on a universal level.  A light house is a specific point - but emulates light to the world.
