Document Summary

Taking the tropes or stereotype of newfoundland ideal, unspoiled and partly challenges it by animating it and representing the actual life that saturate and exist w/in it. It"s a modern place (taxi"s), complicated (affairs, busy and crowded); can be culturally saturated and even sophisticated and modern. Radio messages transmitted and picked up through rooms. Insists on moore"s point that people, ideas, information get transmitted from here; not a static/fixed out port. Newfoundland as urban, situated w/in context of modern. Reference to gulliver"s travel and sound of music all of which suggest. Face-to-face communication, eye contact helps us to become more empathetic and to understand ourselves: moore"s characters saturated by technology (tv, vcr) as replacement for real life, real interactions. But also captures the inability to describe someone in such pervading the story a simple way. 429: awareness of attraction to easy ability to achieve reductive simplicity (athlete, chiseled chest) but also to work against this.
