They were so exiting.

2. Are these readings very good or excellent examples of post-modernist literature, basing your analysis on the ppt presentations given in class? Why/Why Not?

Yes, because thew were so interesting books and they had a emocional sories in Vich we can find different topics.
For example CRASH explores themes such as the transformation of human psychology by modern technology, and consumer culture's fascination with celebrities and technological commodities. The human characters in the novel are cold and passionless, unable to become sexually excited unless some kind of technology is involved (typically architecture and cars).

3. Of all the readings you did this semester, which one was your favourite? Why?

It was one of the most important and significant readings that I saw. The central concept then branches out from Aboriginal culture, as Chatwin combines evidence gained there with preconceived ideas on the early evolution of man, and argues that on the African Savannah we were a migratory species, moving solely on foot, hunted by a dominant brute predator in the form of a big cat.

4. Of the 3 time periods we looked at this semester (Victorian, Modernist & Post-Modernist), which did you enjoy the most? Why.



If I want to soez one of these three periods I cose the postmodernism, because his constibution is fantastic, it is an aesthetic, literary, political or social philosophy, which was the basis of the attempt to describe a condition, or a state of being, or something concerned with changes to institutions and conditions, in other words, postmodernism is the "cultural and intellectual phenomenon.
It was something completly new for me, and interesting to study it.
