Chapter 2 summary:
After coming back from Connecticut, Mitty had tons of homework, not to mention, ten pages of notes. At school the next day, his friend Derek, goes on and on about the anthrax murders. After school, Mitty starts on his notes, but decides to skip to his rough draft instead. Mitty continued to read about smallpox, everything happening to the people he is reading about could be happening to him too
So personally I agree with Emerson in his statement because in our current society there is this standard for people to fit into this tiny mold of how someone should be. My motto is if everyone was the same the world would be boring, so I personally believe that we all need to be our own people in order to make our lives and others interesting. So yes I agree with Emerson.
False, because sometimes you already know the plot.
Chapter 1: “I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”
Chapter 2: "It's really his wife that's keeping them apart. She's a Catholic and they don't believe in divorce." Daisy was not a Catholic and I was a little shocked at the elaborateness of the lie.'
Chapter 3: “I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.”
Chapter 4: “There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.”
Chapter 5: "He was consumed with wonder at her presence. He had been full of the idea so long, dreamed it right through to the end, waited with his teeth set, so to speak, at an inconceivable pitch of intensity. Now, in the reaction, he was running down like an overwound clock." (92)
Nonlinear will best describe a characteristic of postmodern literature
