From the article “Inherent Vice and the Modern Audience’s Ambiguity Problem” by Kevin Lincoln

• Increasingly, we’ve become a culture that insists on resolution and explanation from our stories. We need to know who did it as immediately as possible. We need to know how True Detective ends, even before we’re halfway through the…season. We need to know if the science is right in Interstellar, and why the characters in Game of Thrones, a show set in a world that contains dragons, are so mean to each other. Ambiguity has become like the Postal Service: We tolerate it only when absolutely necessary. Less and less are we content to be told a story; more and more we want to tell that story ourselves, showing that we get it, we got it, we figured it out.

Example of #

• If I asked, what is Purcell’s opinion of Big Jeff?

• #backoffbro • #heardofpersonalspace?• #letmebemeandyoubeyou

Hashtag # 1

• What would your hashtag description be for the narrator?

Hashtag #2

• What is your opinion of the fact that you never knew the narrator’s name?

Hashtag #3

• Describe Bill and the unnamed narrator’s friendship.

Hashtag #4

• Describe the way the students felt about Dean Makepeace.

Hashtag #5

• Describe your opinion of Ayn Rand after reading “Ubermensch.”

Hashtag #6

• Pretend you are, for a moment, the unnamed narrator. Justify in your #hashtag your reason you felt it was appropriate to turn in Susan Friedman’s story as your own.

Hashtag #7

• Think about the fact that due to the fact the unnamed narrator plagiarized a story for a voluntary contest that he was kicked out of school, lost his summer scholarship to Oxford, and lost his four year scholarship to Columbia University. Write a # on your opinion of this.

Hashtag #8

• Write a # comparing what Makepeace did (that led him to leave the school for a year) and what the unnamed narrator did.

Hashtag #9

• Write the title to a story that sums up your life thus far.

Hashtag #10
