I like this chapter because he based it all on philosophy. He got into his perception of the human mind and he challenged the readers minds. He wasn't afraid to talk about how you can't write a story, are really good story about rapists unless you yourself are a rapist and you can't talk about slavery because slavery isn't legal so no one really knows about it.
How do we keep our minds interesting while living dull lives?
That's his question. In other words, I guess this book is nonfiction and the movie can't touch this.
PS... how come this city has so many asian people and almost no hispanics. I mean the hispanic population in the loop has to be less than 1%. I'm new and where I came from, we had at least 20% hispanic. I understand there's a chinatown but is that really why there's a large population of asians?

i read it last night and when joe said he thinks that chuck sounds whiney i could really see it in this chapter, But it was good.
Jeff, Chicago has for a long time been huge on segregation, all the way back to the 1850's stock yards. So to find huge concentrations of races, hispanic per-say, you need to travel to the right neighborhood. Logan Square, which is an awesome neighborhood, is predominately hispanic, where as Humbult Park has the city's highest concentration of Porto Ricans. Other neat areas include Little Italy, Greek Town, the Devon area, Chinatown, Hyde Park, Wicker Park, the Ukrainian Village, ect....
An idea to ponder:
How would you boil your life down into seven minutes?
Or your art, in your case, writing?
