Compare and contrast tragedy

Compare and contrast loss of hearing

Katherine Bouton

For the last couple of weeks, the phone on the left seems to ring from the right.

I know a couple of friends who lost hearing in a ear - one due to wrong medication as a child. Looper technology.
In Facing the wave, the author write 'Because he could hear, he knew he was alive, no dreaming'. In the 'Shouting Wont Help' the author talks of an elderly British woman kidnapped in Africa and without her hearing aid. Blindfolded and no way to hear, she was kept away from that privilege of knowing she was alive.

As a child, when our school was getting ready for a meet, the convent sister asked me to get a plate or so I thought. I also reasoned why would she need a blade and got her a plate from cafeteria. Some one else’s. It was close to lunch time.

A word filled up might lead to funny incident or a mixup but what if you had a whole day’s notes in gobbledy gook.

‘Song without words’ is the unusual story of a person who spent most of his life deciphering the world through many layers with what he call lyricals – the stages of guessing the right word.

The stages are poetic but if every piece of info you receive is to be through this process then it can be harrowing than the impossible finger writing the letters.

Reading was a Pascalian diversion - Stephanie lacava

'The more I know about the inner lives, the more I might understand about the world' 
When I read about the inner lives of deers and snail, it is a wonder that so much happens and exists unknown to us.

When I started reading the book, I assumed the author to be a male. But when the author talks about her naivete of trusting everyone, even the childhood phase didnt mask out her gender.

Zombity

I have never read Zombie lit. I thought may be its good to start younger version of it.

Jumanji

I saw the Jumanji movie yesterday. I know its ancient. I used to tink Jumanji is the name of  amonkey who is friends with the kids.

After the movie who is brave enough to play the board game.

The apple with a smaller core

Today I am going to eat the apple
a new way
one that promises no core
I have to eat it from top
I stare at the apple on the napkin
It has a scar
just like me
a sign of contact with hot oven

one fourth into apple eating
I found no core and then I
could peek into it
A tiny thread, I pulled at it
a seed was stuck to it
attached with tiny filaments

I had to spit out a
ball of core

The flat

In the documentary The Flat, a coin with two opposing sides when whirred round, wakes you and takes you back to the moment where the journey began in the narrator's grandparents flat.
While going through the things, the family members find unprocessed furs. Thoreau writes that Penobscot Indians wore the furs with legs and tails dangling.
I am usually not comfortable with works on Holocaust but the general theme that we all have a past and the generational identities or the lack of it was clearly shown. The genealogy tree's significance is seen too. And strong bond sof friendship can travel up and down the blood line and lead to insights of the past.
When I look at literary magazines asking for work on themes of family secrets, I always wonder what could be in the past. This movie is a great answer to that. The narrator and his mother form a good explorer pair into his and their past.

The journey that he took was coveted by many. He had to make sure there were no stowaways after stopping at his son's school.
During the travles his 'ream of paper' drifted to cover the whole place.
