According to the lengthy personality test that I took, I am classified as having a protagonist personality. I was very intrigued to find out that only two percent of the world's population had the same personality type as me.

In the beginning of the novel we meet our protagonist. The first things we learn about our protagonist is he has
documentary was particularly interesting because by the end of my third time watching it I realized that one of the most impactful and important scenes was the beautiful scene with Lio dancing in the skirt. This choice to end the documentary with the protagonist dancing with the skirt completely confused me at first but because it was so abruptly introduced, however after reading Jack’s Plunger and Performing Disidentifications I developed my own ideas of what Lio dancing with the skirt might represent
