The Aleph

1.     1.  This story relates to the radical concepts described in class in different ways. To be radical is to be non-traditional or uncommon and you can see this in various cases. You could look at the way the story is written, for example. It covers a wide spectrum of material all from the same moment of time. Also, the information in the story is based off of radical material. The Aleph is such a wonder for readers to imagine. The place described is somewhere that no one has ever seen anything similar to.


2.   2.    The story gave me a really interesting perspective of time. You never really think about how much really happens in a moment. Maybe nothing spectacular happened in your life in a particular moment, but the most important event of someone else’s life is occurring in that same moment. The story really made me think outside the box on the concept of time.
