Document Summary
3 different references: quote, poetry, and story doestovski"s work. The narrator tried to forget about the incident, been a while, suffered from memory loss, can"t be sure that the story took place. There is no certainty of who"s being dreamed, there is no certainty in anything. There is nothing constant about the summer dusk, it is slow but it"s constantly changing. America had the chance to establish an empire. America is influenced by the superstition of democracy . If you can"t challenge the notions, there will be consequences. Inability to make sense, means that we can"t know anything at all because none of it makes sense. Not creating a new philosophy, but arguing that the entire ideology in itself is wrong. Finding a state of utopia, and creating a world that we want to create. (is utopia real of even just a state of perfection?)
