questions from the Drucker reading:
Drucker writes: “Instructive language often protects us (NO SWIMMING,
DEADLY UNDERTOW). but it also can be restrictive and can limit not
only our activity but our perception.” What are some examples of instructive language that limits our activity or perception? In what way do your examples do this?
questions from Elkins:
Elkins writes that there are times when one looks at an object, even a familiar one, it suddenly develops meaning and gains depth that was not there before. Has this ever happened to you? What was the object and in what way did you look at it to apprecite the meaning of it?
Going along with the last question…
How might overlooking the more common objects affect our experience with life?
