Document Summary
Sobchack started her essay with epigraph, which is quote that begins the literary work. She then continued on with her own experience. As she said, let me begin with the fact that i have a prosthetic left lag, she links her own experience with her arguments. In the first few paragraphs, she used secondary research to support her points. There are a lot of words in quotation marks that are followed by detailed descriptions. In the first section, she defines a few terms, with the definition in the parenthesis. For example, she talked about prosthetic consciousness , and. Prosthetic memory as the first one means reflexive awareness of supplementation, and the prosthetic memory means the public extroversions of photography and cinema that cast doubt on the privilege of interiority that once constructed individual subjectively and identity. The little number next to the quotation marks are indication that she cites the ideas from another source.
