Required Reading: 'From Work To Text' - Metonymic, explosion, polysemy, pleasure; these are my favorite words in this text. I scanned these words and used them for text.jpg. I like their meanings. However, after being dropped into the screen, their meanings are not important any more. We do not need to read it but we need to see it. See! Can you find out 'Text'? Language is the most powerful tool that we can use. At the same time, language can cause lots of conflicts and misunderstanding between persons who use defferent languages. They are tricky. Franz Kafka: (From http://www.levity.com/corduroy/kafka.htm, By Shredder1.0) Franz Kafka is one of my favorites novelist. When I read his work first time, I was totally confused because I expected a touching story or poetic expressions. Finally, I became to enjoy his text. For following his words, I don't need to try to interpret writer's intention or to figure out what is going on. To Seek for meanings is ridiculous labor for Kafka's work. What I can do is to accept the whole text, which is already destructed by itself, as purely as possible and forget it. The most interesting thing is that some time later his text occurs to me and makes me feel it all of sudden.
