In what ways does the story relate to the idea of "the radical" as we discussed in class?

-radical is defined as relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough.I think radical is evident in this story through because of how it is written. It doesn’t come off as written in a traditional way. Its scattered and all over the place, almost as if it was written the same as his thought process. Also the way the author talks about seeing ever, it become very hard to comprehend.

How does the story inform or change your understanding of time?

-The story helps me to understand time as something thats builds on top of itself. At the beginning each time the author would go to visit the house it built on his last visit, time was extended, what he did at the house become increased.
