And Then We Started Talking About Post Modernism.

After last weeks class I was very excited to tell my friend Tara that according to post modernism, when we visited a replica of Stonehenge in West Texas, it was just as real as seeing the real thing.

Whitney's blog this week was amazing as per usual. I loved how she seems to go into the reading so prepared. I feel like she embarks on this reading with a little guide, being like don't forget to look for the trickster, don't forget to look for irony.

I suppose there is a reason we learn about all these different themes in literature, because they are just that, themes!

I really appreciated her examination of the trickster in this story. I feel like the boy in this story and Grandison were almost the same. The grandfathers advice to yes them to death, sounds like the same strategy Grandison employed.

I guess there are several times in "Invisible Man" where the situation turns out different than one was expecting. First, he goes to the whole event just to give a speech, which he does not end up giving. Also, at the end you think he is just going to leave with some coins, but he ends up leaving with a scholarship.

Right? That's how it ends. Even though he dreams it is a sick joke, it isn't....

This little tasting of "Invisible Man" makes me want to read the whole novel.
