Intriguing Riddle…

Teacher asks, “What connects these items: typewriter, keys, tomato, camera, mask, telephone, and a Saint Christopher Medal?” It’s a literature class, so I’m sure the answer is related to literature… any ideas?

Is there any kind of poem or literature you think might include all those items in a significant or insignificant way?

Is there any author in particular, that, would somehow be connected to all of these items?

No clue, so far we’ve studied the Odyssey,the Illiad, Oedipus the King, Sappho’s “Some think a fleet,” and now we’ve moved on to Virgil’s Aeneid, and next we are going to Beowulf… I believe the concept is to illustrate the “Sphinx’s riddle” from the Odyssey with one of her own, but Jesus, ya know… I know later we’ll probably do some more of the classics… Tennyson, Lord Byron, Kafka, Keats, etc… but that’s really all I can think of to go by…

I think probably not.. I don’t think I’ve ever actually studied/read Doyle.. not in high school or college… isn’t that odd?

Or (this is reaching)…

all things that can be used to express thought? All but the medal fit.

A typewriter can be used to express ideas, a tomato can by expressing opinion by throwing one at an actor, keys on the piano for expressing emotion through music, a mask could express emotion, a telephone to express onesself, but I don’t know how the medal could be used to express unless it has to due with “express” as in to travel since Saint Christopher is the saint of good travel or something similar.

You better post the response!!! Now I have put way too much thought into it not to know!! : )
