#2 Blog Assignment

Personally I feel like Rudy from "The Rudy Elmenhurst Story" and the Chancellor from "The Obsolete Man" help me understand more about Post Modernism and Modernism. Rudy is clearly a Post Modern character whereas the Chancellor is strictly Modern. The Chancellor believes in the absolute truth that the state is all powerful and the highest authority. In a post modern approach there would be many points of views and no one absolute truth. Rudy is clearly post modern because there is clearly a lack of conscience on his part and in post modernism there is no difference between right and wrong. He is only after one thing with Yolanda: Sex. And at the end when she turns him down again (out of self-respect) he carries on without any consequences for his actions. This two characters could not be more different and I don't really like either one, but they do make it easier for me to understand the many differences between the "two ways of thinking."

Intro to Me

Hey y'all, my name is Sawyer Graham and I'm a sophomore Travel & Tourism major. I am short, outgoing, loud, and pretty much up for anything. I love to plan events and I'm pretty sure that's what I want to do...but who knows what I will finally decide. I want to travel to Ireland more than any other place, but I may be studying abroad in Australia pretty soon. I spent this last summer as an Orientation Ambassador and had a blast. I look forward to this year and the years to come here at the REAL University of South Carolina: CLEMSON!
