comics ch 9 reading response

i must say, i am glad to be finished reading this book. it was very entertaining at first and informative overall, but i did get a little annoyed with "scott". i was just bugged by how many times he tried to get deep...then DEEPER....andDEEEPER AND DEEPER AND DEEPER. give it a rest!!! all of his "enlightening" points weren't that enlightening after a short while. and also, the italicizing, bolding, and capitalizing of words really really annoyed me. not only did these elements make it extremely hard to read, they all put the emphasis on the wrong thing!!!! reminds me of this:

FAST FORWARD TO 1 MIN 33 SECONDS

but the chapter is about communicating ideas between different minds without ever actually being able to convey to those minds exactly what your mind knows and sees. thus, the chapter is called "putting it all together". for example: pen goes to paper, goes to eye, goes to brain. only communication can breach the walls of ignorance that keeps human beings from seeing each other clearly.
