Abbott Edwin, The Flatlands

In relation to what we are doing in this class, I feel that this book is explains what it is to create something in entirety. The Flatland is a country where everything exists as though you were looking at a piece of paper with your eyes at the level of the table it sits on. In this country there is an intricate cast system and set of rules. For instance, women are a straight line and therefore a possible danger to all. When looking at a woman from straight on she almost looks like nothing, like the tip of a needle. Towards the end of the reading, they discuss how there is in a way a different language used for women because of their severe irrationality. The speaker is explaining how this language can be confusing to the children because from early on they have to speak two different languages, one to their mother and one that intellectual.
Te level of intricacy of this world is what I feel we are suppose to gain the most inspiration from. When making our unit of measure, building, and item we have to create world that surrounds these things in order to sell it.
