I’ve been fond of the
work of Toshio Mori, because of the style of his works and how it could affect
the readers. The work of Mori is consist of small conversation and most of the
time it was the taught of the narrator. In addition to this, Mori uses his culture
of being a Japanese and put a touch of Japanese in his story. One example of
Mori’s story is “The Woman Who Makes
Swell Doughnuts”, this story gets my attention due to the idea of how the
author focuses on the idea of silence, there are little conversations and most
of the time it was the narrators thought that we are reading. Furthermore, the
story gives the reader the idea of the importance of silence, indeed the story
was simple but yet the lesson and the meaning it obtains was really wonderful. The
thought of knowing that silence was indeed the greatest symphony really
emphasizes the idea of us, people, should know how to be part of a silent world
in order to obtain peace and happy life. We should know how to separate
ourselves to the noise of the outside world. Though the work of Mori can be
simple, the thoughts of each story are sometimes really hard to understand,
this can be seen in the story “The Eggs
of the World’ and “He Who Has the
Laughing Face” both stories have a deep meaning and sometimes the readers
should need to put logic in it, the meaning of each idiom that Mori is putting
on his works really captures the reader’s attention. The readers need to read
the whole story to fully understand the moral of Mori’s. This for me is the
part where I have struggled, knowing what is the underlying meaning of each
sentence or phrases that the characters are spoking could really tickle the
mind of those who do not know how to read between the lines.
Fred Moten Born in 1962 and raised in Las Vegas Focuses on black studies, poetry, and critical theory The Salve Trade The poem of Fred Moten is hard to understand, the reader should look at it in a different way. This poem is about the idea of the slave trade and Fred Moten just rearrange the letters and come up with slave trade. The poem also uses the technique it which it jumps from thoughts to thoughts which makes it interesting to read because it does not really show what the real issue it discusses. There are also a lot of things that occur in the poem which makes it really hard to understand the poem. It mostly shows the idea of black people which was not directly quoted but Moten uses the phrase “I started reading my paper and ash flew from their big ol’” which describe the skin color of the black people.
