The mind is the first to go

First I want to say that the most memorable thing from class Tuesday (no matter how sad this may be) is a quote by Dr. Mitchell
        "BIG MOTIONS! If you want to get that big job at Disney, you've got to get big motions!"

     My group discussed the fifth portion of this work. At this point, so many different things have happened. The subject has gone through so much and you can see it taking a tole on them. At the end he begins to use different language and seems to be almost rambling. He also makes reference to London Bridge making this reader remember the nursery rhyme from childhood.

     When a person is mentally ill and they are losing their mind, they tend to revert to a childlike mentality. They literally have the mind of a child. To me, his use of this in the end of the text shows a decline mentally or physically of the subject. Whether this is interpretation or just application, I think a parallel could be drawn for humanity. Before it gets to the end, you can see a decline in the subject. The gibberish is last showing a kind of end point. I think that our culture and society are the same way. You can see obvious declines. There is a lack of deeper thinking now and that is just one area of decline. Soon we could be getting back to a state like the subject of this writing.
