Storytelling

I do not think that a character is completely separate from his parts. Yes, there are certain situations that are different but for the most part there has to be some sort of connection to the character. I believe that when you are looking for roles and are researching a role you have been asked to play, you have the choice as to what you would like to portray and there is always a chance to say no. I know that actors and actresses make a ton of money in movies and sometimes they could be doing it just for the money, but in doing that they are still supporting how the producer is making this film and they have the option to say no. Also, you wouldn’t take a part that you are not interested in, even if you are just a tad bit interested.

Interaction with darkness

I do not think that she interacts with the darkness. It gives many references to darkness coming into the room or being in the room but she is never interacting with the darkness. I believe it is significant that she is not interacting with the darkness because I think she is trying her best to resist temptation. I think that Adolescence II is about all her previous sin such as drunkenness, drugs, and sex, coming into her mind and wanting to be practiced again. I think that the significance of her not interacting with the darkness is that she is resisting her previous sin and trying to back away from a sinful life.

Adolescence II

Adolescence II is most certainly a postmodern piece of poetry based on its lack of structure and how it celebrates some disorders in our society. In Adolescence II, the only structure it portrays is that it is continuely broken into parts of three, and other then that there is nothing. There is no rhyme scheme at all and it is fragmented. The lines could end whenever and however and also begin that way. Adolescence II is also postmodern because it celebrates certain disorders in our society such as drunknness as it shows with this statment, "Although it is night, I sit in the bathroom, waiting. Sweat prickles behind my knees. " She does not have control over some things in her body and that happens when you are become drunk. Also it is a straight disobedient act out of the Bible where God states that no one should become drunk in their drinking. Adolescence II is a postmodern piece of poetry because of its celebration in the disorder and how unstructured it is.

breakdown of words and meaning

Toast

I believe that the breakdown of words and meaning lies in our inadequate system of language and our inability to express the understood in words. In “Toast”, Margaret Atwood says “what is flour? We’ll skip this part, it’s too complicated” and I believe that this is symbolic. She is pointing out that we know what flour is and that is we were to dissect it into its very details it would mean nothing to us. The words we would be left with is something or thing which what does that mean? What is a thing exactly; a thing has no meaning and that is where a breakdown occurs. Also our inability to express what we understand also brings with it a breakdown of words and meaning. A writer once said that “love is when there are a million things you want to say to someone, but when they look you in the eyes and hold you in their arms nothing in life matters other than being with that person at that moment." I believe this to be true because when you start to try and express why you love someone and how they make you feel, the people you are talking to never quite seem to understand completely even though they often know the feeling themselves. Love is something that you can not fully express to other people but rather it is a feeling that must be felt rather than spoken. The breakdown of words and meaning lies in our inability to express feelings we understand and our inadequate system of language.
