Responce to 4th Article

Feet in Smoke

                I have no idea what this article had to do with art. This article was very passionate about a brother’s love for another, and it was only his half-brother about 7 years in difference. The first part of the story was about the incident his brother had being electrocuted with a microphone and a guitar. I’ve been shocked with electricity while working with hot electrical wires. It is not very pleasant. I can imagine what being electrocuted and passing out into a comma would be like. In the story the younger brother explains how his older brother’s brain would be all out of whack. How it was almost like an acid trip, but in a different way. The whole experience, of the story, went from tragedy to tragicomedy about half way. The notes the brother and father kept about his sayings were pretty funny. I can imagine what a family would go through dealing with this. I am glad everything worked out in the end; I mean the brain returning back to its original functionality. Even though the older brother still did not remember what had happened to him. The memory wasn’t there. But I still wondered about that when he started crying in the hospital and the younger brother asked him why. He had a recollection of being dead. So, somehow he had a sort of an outer body experience maybe that people talk about. Overall I didn’t like the story, although I thought it was funny at times. For one it didn’t relate to art in my opinion. Another reason I didn’t like it was the tragedy that occurred. I prefer not to read up on these sorts of things. I have seen enough of my own sort of tragedies and try to keep my mind occupied with positive thoughts and events.
