THEME-BASED QUETIONS

1.   What is textual integrity?

I've been told that textual integrity has to do with the idea being strongly shown throughout the whole text and to show textual integrity you need to chose quotes from start, middle and end. i think it also has to do with why the text is relevant, but moreso in terms that if the speech has textual integrity, it leaves a stronger impact of an audience and therefore remains relevant? only my understanding though, and i could be wrong! always struggled with this idea

2. What’s organic unity?

Organic unity is the idea that a thing is made up of interdependent parts. For example, a body is made up of its constituent organs, and a society is made up of its constituent social roles.

3. What are universal themes and how do we know they’re “universal”?

A universal theme is an idea that applies to anyone regardless of cultural differences, or geographic location. Universal themes are ways to connect ideas across all disciplines. It is a central idea about the human condition. It is a generalization about life or human nature; they deal with basic human concerns.
