Cosmopolis by Don DeLillo



This was a very tricky book to read. I never felt attacked to the main character and I think that is that point. He is to himself a god. He only sees himself in this world and what he wants. He does not take no for an answer and thinks money is the answer to everything. The book keeps you in his car the most and you see all he has all the electronics and computers and the people that come to him never the opposite. I don’t see him as privileged I see him as someone who has worked hard and knows what he wants. he is numb to people and their problems be cease they are not his own. Of course this mind set harms him and his stalker wants to kill him.  Because of his private and his money, he can easily ignore it until he can’t.  I thin k he learns he can’t hide behind money and even though he can hide in his limo the world continues, something I think he easily forgets about. this book teaches you that you cant hide and privlage can not protect you.

Orange is The New Black

I decided to binge watch Orange is the New Black for this week. I got through a couple of them, there are 5.   I noticed that the main way this show traps their audience is huge reveals and shocking actions that the audience didn’t think of. Prison sure is unpredictable.   In the first season you meet Chapman and you watch her adjust to prison life.

Now knowing some of the back story of the other inmates they tend to end episodes leaving you wondering what will this crazy person do next! They led you up with a formula, character, backstory, actions in present. But to keep you guessing they end a lot of episodes after backstory or you are giving a little action.   They also remind you how horrible humans are. Even the on...

Artivism

One activist agenda I would follow if I was into activism would be artivism. Artivitst try to pursued the public to push and really think about politics and the government and their problems. Their mediums consist of protesting and jamming but mostly you see artivist using street art because that way the public can see it always in their neighborhoods. I agree with this tactic. I think the best way to get your point across and keep it there in a constant understanding and memory is to plaster it in a bold and unapologetic way. One way to see artivism work is artivism online. This website shows artist all over trying to make a difference. You can look to gain opinion or to show off what you have to say. Simply broadcast your message. http://artivism.online/ A great website to go to to understand artivism and to see what you can do is Beautiful Rising. They talk about artivist but also a wide option on things. This website shows you actions and campaigns that worked for them in ...
