1. I feel as though twitter has had no impact on my life. People on twitter post basically, in my opinion meaningless activities. Nonetheless, the only thing that even fazed me was posted by professor millstein. Her post about how people do not want Thomas Jefferson being taught in schools anymore. Other than that people mostly posted about how they have a lot of work to do, myself included, and I feel as though this is meaningless. Using twitter has had no effect on me. I like using other networking websites such as facebook because it does not soley rely on simply udpating people about what i am doing at the current time, i feel like people using twitter frequently are just looking for something to keep them occupied and it keeps them from really trying to go out and make freinds because they can just stay updated on other people lives. Furthermore, i feel as though the only thing that i gained form using twitter was staying updated on the New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and his tweets, this only because he updated me on transactions the jets made. Moreover, i feel like stellar time would probably be the best way to describe the time on twitter. I believe this because everyones life have to be going on in this manner. People do live their lives in unison with other, people do not just do somehting and then wait for someone else to do somehting to proceed to their next endevor people and time work together.
2. In 1001 nights i feel like teological time is most prevelant throughout the story. i feel like the author attempted to connect all fo the three stories being told. The merchant is telling a story to Jinni. Also, i feel like the author is attempting to tell a story which i felt was pretty cliche. this being the story of good against evil. This was evidnet to me when telling about the king. The narrarator and her two brothers were given one thousand dollars each after their father passed. One of the brothers took the money and went traveling. This is all events that are happening in succession. They are happening over a given period of time and arent really connected with eachother. To add the teological time is considered cause and effect so, the linear timing goes as so, the father dies and then money is inherited, this clearly supports the notion that the story is being told in teological timing.
3. In the tale of the bull and the ass, the wife tries coercing the husband into divulging information regarding his perculiar laugh, the husband is then informed that he has the choice of having sverl wives, so he in essence would just need get a new wife and doesnt even need to keep his current one. Nonetheless, in islamic culture women are treated poorly and that in todays culture somehting like this would not happen. I really didnt like this story because in my opinion a man should not be told what he has to do by anyone especailly his wife when she is viewed as a second class citizen in her culture. This article http://www.islamfortoday.com/ruqaiyyah09.htm, talks about how women are treated poorly in their culture. This article adheres to the notion which sint supported by the husbands inital thoughts to listen to his wife about giving up the secret to hsi laugh
