Week 2

Thoughts on:

Documentary; I thought that it was very interesting to hear about some of the advancements made just because of the construct of the White City. I never realized the spray paint made its debut just before the 1900s. Also, I was impressed at the acceptance shown for other cultures, I was always under the impression that we were not a very inclusive culture at that time, no matter what we tried to say.

CYIKAC; as I mentioned in class, I was surprised at the difference in connotation for the word Factory from the 19th century to now. In my mind the word factory creates an image of an assembly line stretching on where the workers look tired and bored from standing and completing the same task day after day. In the context that Hank Morgan and by extension Twain is using it, the word factory could mean a place of creativity and change.
