"All literature is displaced myth"

I feel-to get into the rhythm and context of class- it would be only fitting to apply Frye's anatomy of criticism, his theories there in as well as the critical theories in archetypes of literature to Steven's Oder at Key West. For any of you that have read his Emperor of Ice cream and tried to analyze that... it goes without saying that Stevens can be at times difficult. Difficult in the sense that it is a challenge, as well as extremely vast-vastly ambiguous and applicable-. These are the very same qualities of literature which Frye speaks of, the same reasons that literature itself can be so powerful and entertaining. Now i have a lot of ideas for what I would like to say about Key West, but have not really gotten a chance to get them out or how to express them, i suppose the best way would be just to write ("how do i know what i think...") but i am currently about to head to class, our class actually and will follow up soon.
