This quote from HTLSIASFU ‘a character, even a narrator has no way of knowing whether or not he is in the past tense of narration of a story, or instead in the present tense’ is very much applicable to Juliana. #SF409#lasttweet4semester
The class discussion on Childan’s acceptance of class on the grounds of at least being ‘white’ reminded me a lot about Marx’s False Class Consciousness which I feel can be applied to the text neatly. #SF409
I loved the whole premise of Ink. Honestly, didn’t think I would love The Man in The High Castle as much and can’t wait to discuss the very much real world that could’ve been or still could be. #SF409
Our discussion in class about conforming to roles, regardless of moral implications reminded me of the Milgram experiment. The premise is that we adhere to the commands of authority figures sometimes even without thinking. #SF409

HTLSIASFU was such an interesting read. So sad I couldn’t make it to class. I especially loved the idea that you can travel to one moment in time and remain there, leaving you questioning what is a truly meaningful life in relation to time. #SF409
