As we were reading about Margaret Altwood, I can really notice that someone thinks almost the same as me, and I can conclude that I'm post-Modernism just because
Ok, not... but -the truth is that I thik that Margaret Alwood work is kind of impressive and I love the fact that she writes about things that matter to her, so that at the end, her work becomes something important to somebody.When I first read "Gertude ralks back" I really thought that if al the stories that we read from her were going to be like that, I was going to get bored, because I've read other stories, from other authors; but when I read "Unpopular Gals" that is about the perspective from the antagonist in every faerytale, and the truth is that at some point I thought the same about all the antagonist and as a kid, I used to ask me why they were like that.
After that, we read "On Medea" that is about the Greek myth about a woman who is a witch and that participates in diferent stories, but her importance changes throught all the variations of the stories created, because anyone, at the end, knows the real story. In this case, Margaret Atwood argues that there are diferent stories, and at the end, as a conclusion, she ask which story, as a reader, would you choose, and moreover which of the actions that Medea did is the most important for you.
Then we read "A letter to America" that more than a letter to show that the US has changed, is to show you that everything changes, that you change, and until someone shows it, ypou would ot notice it, and at the end, it would be your decision whether return or not.
Finally, we've read " Aliens have taken the place of angels" where she expose the terms 'sci-fy' and 'expeculative fiction' and as a reader it makes you think about how tecnology has changes, how your life has changed and when do everything that we see on tv or movies will become true.
I think that Margaret Atwood is someone that makes you think about everyhing that is around you and about what she thinks is important, because , in my case, at the end I tought questions, not something concrete like "It was cool because of this and that"; I thought "what would happen?", Why she thinks it?" and so on. I think that this is the purpose from Margaret, to make you think about what she writes, and to make you think.
I think that one of the purpose of post-modernism is to make you think and to make you self aware about the world, also to show you another perspective from the things by the use of pastiche and intertextuality; I think that by using this characteristics, Post-modernism tries to show that other texts and movies, that seem far way form your life, when you change the words that you use, they become something moe normal and something that can be relate to your life.
Knowing this characteristics, I think that Margarte Atwood wants that you relate to her work, and to make you self aware about everything and to question everything.
As far as I've read about Post-modernism, about Margaret Altwood and about her work, I kind of like it a lot because it seems something that I would read and write, and at some point I think that what I normally write is Post-modernism, but I didn't knet it really was postmodernism. Now I'm really looking forward to eat a pizza.
