Oritz

The disorder in Travelling by Simon J. Ortiz is celebrated through the main character's blissfull ignorant reliving of memoeries. Ortiz writes, "He writes their names on a letter pad, hurries to another source, asks the librarian for another book but it is out and he looks hurt and then he rushes back to the globe." This shows disorder because once his goal of finding the book is crushed he forgets about it. The book meant something to him but it only took him a few seconds to forget about it. Furthermore despite whatever relation he has to these places he is looking at, there is obvious signifigance to them. However Ortiz never lets on to what that relationship might be. The only textual evidence we have is, "A man has been in the VAH library all day long." the VAH is a veteran's hospital so the only conclusion we can draw is that he had either once been to some of these places in war. the lack of knowledge given to the reader about the history of the man is perfect disorder.

stupid

I feel that thebreakdown of words and meaning lie in an inadequate understanding of reality. But I don't like the word inadequate, I feel taht there really is no way to better describe reality. The fact of the matter is that our language is based on a circle that in order to understand any of it you must understand all of it. As demostrated in Toast the snowman says, "What is flour? we'll skip that part too". In order for one to actually understand what toast is one's mind has to backtrack through a huge web of ideas that all come together to support toast. At the same time toast helps support a whole host of ideas itself possibly things like, breakfast, cooking, etc. Thus why you must inderstand the whole circle in order to understand any of it.

hyperexpensive

Every jewelry company put out ad campaigns based on the idea that buying expensive jewelry is the only way to show a woman you love her. Kay Jewelers has a very popular slogan, "every kiss begins with Kay." Other than a cute play on words they use the metenarative that every woman wants expensive jewelry. This slogan insinuates that the only way for a woman to love you is to buy her jewelry from Kay Jewelers. While no one takes this completely literally in a subtle way it becomes ingrained in how we think. In a 1949 song by Jules Styne entitled Diamonds are girls best friend says, "The French were bred to die for love. They delight in fighting duels. But I prefer a man who lives. And gives expensive jewels". These lyrics basically say, "forget love, I want diamonds". Thus implanting something in the average man that the only way to make his wife happy is to buy something he cannot afford. These jewelery companies use their ad campaigns to make people think that whatever they are selling is the only way to make their wife happy.

postmodernism

AS Christians we are apart of the postmodern world. It is every visible in the mindset of CHristians around the globe. Major aspects of Postmodernism have slowly crept their way into our faith. We are commended to live in the world and not of the world. Therefore we need to accept and understand postmodernism while knowing that it has a great influence on our lives.

I had a conversation with this guy at borders. I talked with him about all the different kind of books people buy. He claimed that he could guess pretty acurately what kind of book a customer would buy before they even started looking. He was kind of wierd and he looked really anxious.

echos

The echos when R or G talk could be that since they are not being used in the play they don't directly affect anything. The echos comes from their voices but when it is heard people look around where the two stand but never seem to take notice in them. They pass off the echo as a voice they made up in their head. Because the two charcters arent being used as Claudius' tools they do not effect the story because they have no part other than when they are needed. The play never said anyhtign to the effect of what they do off stage.
