In White Noise
by Don DeLillo, DeLillo frequently references supermarkets, describing them in
how they look and feel and giving the reader a different view that one would
usually give a supermarket. DeLillo’s consistent reference to supermarkets is a
comparison to the real world. The many different products as well as the
variety available for each product can be seen as the variety of people in the
world and the class system those people live in. From the generic, lowest cost,
to the brand name and most expensive, the purchase made makes a statement about
who a person is and where they fall in society.
This link really helped me see what different views I could write the essay from.
Wow this is a pretty cool idea. You should be able to find plenty of proof for this since so much of the book takes place painfully describing all the little details of the grocery stores. Heck the book even ends inside of the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteI like your thesis. It is a funny concept that you can judge a person by looking in their shopping cart.
