#li423 anger isn't the solution, but it is often the first step to initiate change #ParableoftheSower #CloudAtlas #TheBookofthePhoenix #WE

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

#li423 fear of zombies is a projection of our fear of that society's "nonhuman" population will polute and overpowrer those in power #WWZ

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

#li423 Storytellers have all the control until they finish telling it. From then on it belongs to the readers #Sunuteel #TheBookofthePhoenix

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@teedol16 I agree and disagree. When it comes to Phoenix I think you are correct, but Sonmi as a goddess did a lot of good in #CloudAtlas

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@tessclark3 it's also interesting because both deal with issues of origin. Where/how you were born and the implications

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@teedol16 (c) I think the recorded versions preserve the truth of a first hand account without losing the effectiveness of the human voice

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@teedol16 I think traditionally they can't not be affected by the storyteller, however both #bookofthepheonix & #handmaidstale are recorded

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

Cannibalism is an interesting metaphor for humanities self-destructive hunger. #cloudatlas #theroad

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@teedol16 it interesting how those in power must manipulate space and knowledge to maintain control without appearing like they are in power

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@roykamada I think that the individual still present within humanity in #WWZ. There is an acknowledgement of the self within the collective

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@knolte55 You've been quoted in my #Storify story "LI423 Midterm Reflection" http://t.co/xeiA9SftOg

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@roykamada But I also have issues with Cavendish. I can feel bad for him, but I didn't root for him until others were escaping with him.

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@roykamada Society confines him to a unfree space. Elder abuse is an othering bc of age. It mimics, on a lesser level, other character lives

#li423 #CloudAtlas #NeverLetMeGo use systems of false hope to control the clones before harvesting them: Xultation Deferrals #mirroringplots

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

#li423 Ishiguro is the Miss Lucy and the readers are the donors: we are told and not told Kathy's fate #NeverLetMeGo

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@DougCorriveau the cool part is Solseeds quote Butler and out of context to the novel it still works. Ideas becoming reality via literature

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

#li423 there are many levels of othering at work in #CloudAtlas. Most subtly in Timothy Cavendish

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

@tessclark3 @roykamada I read it as a moment of humanity. I think these moments are necessary reminders of what is worth surviving for

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

#li423 By shaping the world we are shaped by it."Why is the universe? To shape God. Why is God? To shape the universe." #ParableoftheSower

[kelly nolte @knolte55]

#li423 I want to hear the Mitchell's version of the #CloudAtlas Sextet. Here is the one imagined by Tom Hanks https://t.co/iprvXDrO1s
