I linked to chapter 6 of The Event yesterday, right after Mick LaSalle published it. A week ago, we had a long and passionate debate about The Event, some people liked it, some people didn’t.
Anyway, from now on I will link to the new chapter whenever it is published and, the next day, after everybody read the chapter, I thought it would be a good / fun idea to publish another post in order to ask some questions about the chapter we’ve just read, in an attempt to analyze it / share our thoughts on that specific chapter.
About chapter 6:
1- Does the role of the media strike you as far-fetched? If so, why if not why not? Personally, I consider it, in this situation, to be quite possible that the media would actually respond like they do in The Event.
2- What do you think of the rapper SOS? Did you get all the Eminem references? If so, name them. And… “judge a tree by its fruits” – does this also go for SOS? If so, are all his fruits (even after converting to Christianity) good? In what way does SOS represent the idea that one should not focus too much on appearances / that one should not judge someone just by looking at the outside? And… is there a contradiction here?
