reading questions

1) What has been your reaction to the readings' varying takes on the way in which language and imagery interact? Believable? Complete BS? Mixture of the two?

2) According to the readings, why do we overlook things that are everpresent, and why is this significant to the way in which we conceive our own experience of the world?

3) What is there to say of the trivialization of stamps? They, apparently, used to be symbols of what the nation was trying to say - now, at least in our country, they seem to be considered tributes (even Jimmy Stewart had one). Is this a trivialization, or simply an evolution of the stamp as medium?
