Pillow Fight!

"Kat: A man comes into a room, says 'Your mother's dead, yeah?
Mich: I know my mother's dead.
Kat: No, I know, but in a story. A man comes into a room, says to another man, 'Your mother's dead.' What do we know? Do we know that the second man's mother is dead?
Mich: Yes
Kat: No, we dont.
Mich: No, we dont.
Kat: All we know is that a man has come into a room and said to another man, 'Your mother is dead.' That is all we know. First rule of storytelling. 'Dont believe everything you read in the papers.'"

I read that & it distinctly made me think of Brother Ed's class last semester. It was Epic's in poetry & film when we began to read The Road by Cormac McCarthy & as always, we got on this magical tangent about the Adventures of Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn. This is going to be me paraphrasing an older blog, but I find it ironic how in multiple novels/plays/etc. they tell us to not trust what is being said... So if we DONT trust what is said, how can we trust the statement you just said?! *pulls hair out*

It truly is an interesting read. I've read similar novels, not plays, in the past, but nothing like this. I like how each twist & turn of evidence has you wondering "Hrm.. If Kat & Mich really telling the truth or are the Detectives really just being assholes trying to convict them for something they didnt do?" Right now, I cant wait to finish reading it. *gets back to the book*
