White Noise and Atwood

in Margaret Atwoods poem, we find the whole thing was about a what a what and a what. i would relate it to White Noise as well because Babette only talks about what happened but she kept saying "never mind why". there was a different outcome to their perfect little life. it was as if it were another story written for them like an option A or B or C... they were living in their own world where they didnt worry about things that could harm them, and then you get Babette's fear of death, then we get a separet story for jack's fear of death.

deconstruction

so my sister and i were talking and the subject of love came up. i found a perfect chance to deconstruct the word love. i asked her wat it means and she said it doesn't exist. i asked her what does it mean for people love not to exist. she said that people make up their own feelings and put a label on it. so i said what does it mean to make something up? she said it is to make something out of nothing!! these you go, love has just been deconstructed!!

writer-character distance

When a writer writes about real characters, i don't think that it is their opinions on what the characters say and believe. On the other hand, when the characters are made up, the writer does put in their views and opinions because insights portray actions. The feelings of the writers are usually revealed in their writings. That is how stories are made, they are creative thoughts of the writer put on paper.

art

the artist decides if something is called art. Otherwise there would be no point of creating it. To design something the artist must have an idea in mind in what they are creating. It is not up to anybody else to decide if it is or not art because their view is different than the "artists".

disorder

The poem From Sand Creek, portrays the celebration of disorder of post modernism. Where the author says, "my life was already stolen". The life of humans can only be stolen through death. In this poem, he has not died, he has memories of the past that he considers his life being ion control of, and not by him. "i should have stolen". The writers feeling shave changed from scared to more of a regret. He thinks upon his past and what has happened to him and wishes he had stolen his life. His life is all he had and it was stolen.

language...

the breakdown of words and meaning lies in understanding of reality. Words describe actions, feelings, descriptions and thoughts. "Toast was an implement of torture that caused all those subjected to it to regurgitate in verbal form the sins and crimes of their past lives". In this is states that feeling are proclaimed as words. Their life experiences are shown through out words. "What is electricity"? Words are questioned because they need to be explained. Our language breaks down into simple words that can describe "something", anything" and a "thing".
