Moeller also mentioned the Blue Meanies from the Yellow Submarine, who resemble the Gentlemen in that they take something away from their victims. I think as humans we find it difficult to deal with adversity since we are used to schedules and patterns in our lives. When something like our voice or sound & color is taken away, we are dealt a lot of adversity at once. We would certainly find it difficult to handle a situation like losing our voices when vocal communication is our main form of handling problems. It certainly brings out a big weakness in us.

Is It Art
I thought the author made some interesting connections, one of my favorites being that Moeller noticed St. Francis in the episode "Hush", being extremely significant since, as Moeller mentioned, "St. Francis [is] protector of those who cannot speak". This is very relevant considering everyone lost their voice in the episode.

Everyone usually talks about St. Francis in their articles, but I was glad that you brought up the Blue Meanies! I found it a very compelling comparison with the author bringing up the Beatle's Yellow Submarine series. As a Beatles fan, I enjoyed the fact that the author was able to relate this episode to them in a realistic fashion.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your idea that "we find it difficult to deal with adversity since we are used to schedules and patterns in our lives". This makes me consider lots of problems. For example, we are now facing the energy crisis, once we running out of these resouces. How could we handle it?? That's the problem. How to change our pattern to deal with unexpected situations.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very interesting topic about the energy crisis, Yang. Wow good insight, I am just curious how that problem will be resolved.
