Okay, this first semester of of senior year is done, we are almost through, but though we are almost done, I think I will always be confused about what Postmodernism actually is.
It is the concept if not having a universal truth-not having a right or wrong way to see things. Postmodernism is about having different concepts that coexist with each other. Maus for example. Who in their right mind would ever think that the Halocaust could be dipicted in a graphic novel. Though many people would think that it being made into a graphic novel was bad, in my opinion it helped to show that stories can be shown more than one light. I think the central idea of postmodernism is the theory of naratves/meta-narratives and truth of lies. In the end, I just think postmodernism is people believing things differently. Everyone in the world is not going too wake up one day and magically think the same thing; that is what I think Postmodernism is trying to tell us, that we all have our ideas and that we shouldn't let other people try to change what we think.
Still, I think Postmodern can mean too many things to too many different people, that I can't fully wrap my mind around it. I am glad though, that I have learned about something that otherwise I would have never known existed.
