On Giants' Shoulders HELP ! SOS! (1 Viewer)

Aarrgh i've just TOTALLY HIT A BRICK WALL with this bloody ON GIANTS' SHOULDERS!!!!
Basically, i'm actually really stuck as to how you talk about it in the context of an imaginative journey. (first of all, trying to work out what an imaginative journey is was hard enough)..

SO do you talk about how the history of western science has undergone a journey?! or Bragg has undergone a journey? or the audience is taken on a journey? or do you focus on the individual scientists going on a journey?!?!?

Grrrr i'm finding this section THE HARDEST, and i really reallly loathe the book cos it's just a load of incoherent ramble that often goes around in circles and there's not that much "good" stuff in it!!!!
AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE IT'S SOOO DAMN LONG!
Ok...yeah i desperately need some help here....as you can tell by the way i sound!! *frantic n frustrated*

does it rely on the imagination of the audience in order to give meaning to the text

 

[bennychanman]

thanks, inner child....

it helped a bit but like......i'm still confused! :$
ugh i just wanna kill myself...

 

[bennychanman]

i think what it is that i'm REALLY finding hard is being able to formulate a coherent answer that just makes sense and doesnt sound too bullshitty...

cos there are just sooooo many ideas n so many ways around it and i don't know how to go around it and it's DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! =(

 

[gordo]

hav a think in wat way the text invokes the imagination of the audience

Also the scientists that make these discoveries have to go on an imaginative journey themselves as they are the ones who have to create the new ideas and concepts from either past theories or from scratch.
