Radical: The Aleph is radical not only because of the way it is written, but also because of the content written. The concept of The Aleph in the story is nontraditional in many writings and is a very unique fantasy. The new idea or concept within the writting style makes the story radical.
Time: The Aleph changes views on time by acknowledging that a little time can contain a lot of actions. This story reminded me of the sound project where we acknowledged sounds within a given time and typically we heard more than we thought. This story also introduces perspective with time, and how actions in an elapsed time with one person tend to be different with another person.
