Our Secrets
Initially, to discuss what this chapter is specifically about is impossible and it takes away from the very essence of the writing. Susan Griffin is writing about human history, about her experiences as a human, about the inequalities in life faced by humans, human sexuality, human anger, human hatred, human frustration, human emptiness, and humanity. Upon deeper thought, and realization, one of her major themes is SELF. Seeing yourself in other's eyes, and portraying your own self-image within other people, is human. Our anger, guilt, and fear, can all be manifested in our own desire "not to be" what we are afraid of.By "irregular" organization, Griffin masterfully constructs an argument that can manifest itself in every reader. They are free to think, and this work clearly sets the mind in motion. The author starts the essay with an interviewer and ads??? in the first fragment about V-1 rockets. Then the interviewer's story mixed in with a biology fragment. The author uses this type of fragment to relate to subjects farther down the essay which makes each fragment relate to the content. Fragments that are used help to explain human nature, insides and outsides, everything aff
David Bartholomae and Anthony Petrosky. Something can be, or it cannot be and yet it still is. We see in others our shortcomings, our deepest secrets, and we try to hide the feelings of anger, hatred, and frustration, not with other people, but with ourselves. Griffin illustrates this technique most vividly with Heinrich Himmler, a prominent Nazi figure during WWII. Destroying what they don't like about themselves can become a tool used to hide that which really is. The other story line, also in italicized sentences, goes through the making and beginning of missiles. In Susan Griffin mentality is about the???? minds and souls of the people who went through the historical event, not simply what happened. The character of Leo reveals his secrets to Griffin, and breaks down to her as he recollects past feelings and experiences. This essay has a lot of subjects that( the author writes on) can make this piece seem confusing but in the same time knowing that all of the issues will be tied together in some way, makes the essay more understandable. Her grandfather takes the easy way out and reveals his ignorance through his stories and opinions of others. I have lately felt her anguish of emptiness. The feeling that I had let everything go out of control. She makes you discover it through making you part of it.
