Document Summary
Egalia s daughters: red flagged sexist terms in the language, men = manwim, women = wim, a lot of people who think that language controls the way we think of things. Voice of the modern breakthrough that knew everything; postmodernism wants you to make up your own mind. Authority has been undermind by first person or third person that takes a person s point of view or third person that describes something completely different from the norm. Closure means you have all your questions answered. I know what happened and why to everyone. Postmodern texts do not like neat endings; more about asking questions than giving answers. Can you explain the points on the postmodern checklist. Contemporary existence is in the state of confusion: mindful of previous checklists, not as bad as anguish in modernism and yet things don t seem to make sense, lack of closure is under this heading.
