3rd Meeting -- Literary Luminary -- 6A

Hello all! I was literary luminary this week, and these are the phrases/paragraphs I chose for you guys to think about. 

1 1. “I would like to move this pile of sand from here to there, but I only have tweezers.”

-          I chose this phrase because tweezers seem like the hardest possible tool to use in that situation

2    2.    “We’re just the average family, mother, father, and 2.58 children.”

-          I chose this phrase because it is play on words, somewhat unusual, because when most people say “average” they mean usual or normal, but in this context they mean “average” as in a mathematical average.

3    3.   “Here in Digitopolis, we have our meals when we’re full, and eat until we’re hungry.”

-          The reason I chose this phrase I because it is exactly the opposite of what we do normally. It makes sense, but they have a different concept of reality, of life. Think about all the things that are different. Can you think of anything to add?

4    4.   “The next thing you’ll have us believe is that you only sleep when you’re tired.”

-          This statement is what we normally do, but is hard to believe somewhere else. Cultures can be very different in different places; you should respect all of them.

5   5.  “For the number you want the greatest is always at least one more than the number you've got, and it’s so large that if you started saying it today you wouldn't finish tomorrow."
          A similarity between reality and Digitopolis. Numbers. They are the same, maybe coming from a different place, but the same.  This is very true in both worlds; you can find similarities in everything.
    I hope you have been enlightened!
