Magazines like People, etc. wouldn't be able to say afloat if we didn't keep reading the stories.

My roomate, a fairly acomplished poet, was looking into getting the records, in hopes of being able to reconstruct poetry from these stories. Your use of narrative is a bit vague though; because the records of the prisoner's last 48 hours are, in fact narratives, and while articles/essays tend to have a narrative structure, that "through line" if you will tends to get called an argument. Having said that, Dramatica, one of the major "story theory" paradigms (read: formula) refer's to the plot as the argument. You can't win either way. The one thing that seems painfully clear in this situation is that there isn't a hell of a lot of extra humanity to go around, here. The only thing I could think about when my roomate read the article to me, was the begining of Discipline and Punish (Foucault). It makes it so clear that the punishing isn't for the guilty, it's for the rest of us, so we know not to stray too far. Cheers, Tycho ah, I think I know the article to which you refer.

]]> Comment on Protesters a no show at funeral for SC soldier by Sam http://alvarez088.wordpress.com/2006/10/13/protesters-a-no-show-at-funeral-for-sc-soldier/#comment-5 Sam Fri, 13 Oct 2006 15:25:13 +0000 http://alvarez088.wordpress.com/2006/10/13/protesters-a-no-show-at-funeral-for-sc-soldier/#comment-5 I agree with you on the last paragraph. Those church groups should be stopped from protesting at funerals. There's no point to it. What are they thinking? A funeral is not a place to bring about the negative (which they think is homosexuality). It's a place for family and friends to remember the good in a person. And who is this organization to call anyone out on being bad? It's disrespectful to the people that did care for this soldier. They're already sad for the passing of this person, so why should that group come along and make it worse by saying that "God's punishing him, because he was gay". How the hell do they know that? This story is good, in that no protesters showed up, but its also upsetting that people are that inconsiderate. I agree with you on the last paragraph.
