Kai Althoff’s exhibit was very interesting. From the moment I stepped foot in the exhibit I already felt awkward. The first thing I noticed when I entered was the color of the whole exhibit. It was all painted in white, everything was white, from the ceiling to the last wooden piece of floor. When I first walked in it felt like I was walking into a mental institution. When I first walked around the right side of the exhibit, I was trying to analyze and connect all of the art pieces together. The only thing that could come to mind was Is he trying to show us the disaster of life. The first few pieces on the right side of the exhibit I believe spoke to his childhood.

Along the right side of the exhibit there was a lot of maternal pieces. The first item that caught my eye and I was just amazed by was the birthing chair. It was a clear, what looked like plastic, birthing chair. The chair is also covered by drips of blood. It was very interesting because the birthing chair was complimented by other child items. For example, there were dolls in that section as through out the exhibition.

I was really intrigued as why the right side of the exhibition was so impactful to me. That side was more impactful to be than any other items of the exhibition. When I was thinking about it the reason why it was so impactful on me was because maybe when I was younger, and still today, I was surrounded by kids, there was always kids and dolls around me. Looking back I start to think that Kai Althoff was surrounded by kids and dolls, but maybe it was not such a great time for how disastrous the exhibit looks.

What does the mother try to achieve by telling the girl what she is supposed to do?  I was also wondering why does the mother call the girl a “slut”?

At the end of the book I was wondering why did Macabea get killed by such a specific car? Also why did Rodrigo S.M drag out her death so much? Is the pain she’s feeling as she is dying the same that he feels?

If  Rodrigo connects with the girl so much, can it be possible that Rodrigo is telling part of his own story? Also would this be considered like free writing?

Is Peter just trying to ignore the love he has for Clarissa? Why is Mrs. Dalloway with Richard if it seems that they don’t even love each other?

Karina couldn’t find her keys. She had left them on Michaels desk, found it! Looks at her phone and its 8:45, she has time but she needs to hurry because the 8:50 train is coming. She grabs all of her stuff- her bag and coat- and walks out of the apartment fighting with the New York Yankee key and M&M key to get the silver one to close the door. She starts walking down the first flight of stairs while untangling her headphones. While Kanye spitted through the wire loudly on through her phone she got to the front door anxiously and opened it. Closed it behind her and texted her dad and mom to let them know she was leaving.

She rushes to the 46^th train station while she has four-five seconds from missing her 8:50 train.  Walks past and ignoring the comments and swipes her metro card to stand next to a post. The train comes and she’s shoved in train looking for air and room, she spots a sweet spot in the back of the cart. Slowly maneuvers her self there while excusing and sorry-ing herself, not because wanting to bother no one. Patiently waits until the train gets to Lexington and a pact of people exit the cart and life if given to her, her legs and lungs. Tiredness can really tire people out. Tired and sleepy she sits on the corner, last seat of the three seats, and rest head to the back. Ignoring everything she closes her eyes, but as she closed her eyes to rest she quickly crossed eyes with the the lady in the red coat fixing her curls. She sitting there with her eyes closed and holding her black school bag. She like that green coat she’s wearing, looks really comfy. She plays with her curls as she wonders how her hair looks, the curls might be a little messed up. Getting off at 28^th Street the lady in the red coat looks back for one last time to the little girl in the green coat holding her black school bag.

Is the love song being sang to himself from himself? and Why is it a “love song”?

Did Gregor die because he starved to death or because he was lonely and sad?

I find it really interesting that Gregor is not shocked by his transformation into an insect. I personally think that if that were to happen I would be freaking out. Do you think it happens often? Why does Gregor make look like it’s usual?

Is it good when a child compares families? Compare ones parents to another parents?
