Today's class was really beneficial in getting an overview of the dreaded "deconstruction." The example of Mrs. Hollingsworth's deconstruction of the dot over the i in the title of The Da Vinci Code was both fascinating and overwhelming. It was great to see how deep you can go into something! On the other hand, I'm not sure my mind has the capacity (or patience) to think on some things for so long and so in depth. I'll be honest, I contemplated the use of illegal substances to get my juices flowing but I don't think slurred sentences would benefit me either. : )
On a side note, we discussed the binary of nature vs. culture today and used the example of incest. It made me think of a guy friend of mine trying to explain why guys are so prone to cheating. He claims that over 95% or something of the male animals in the world are not monogamous and that it was just in there nature. To this I replied that dogs eat their own poop.
