Later on in the story it is revealed that this planet most likely atrophied their eardrums and vocal chords, resulting in their langauge shifting from "mouth-talk" to sign-language, due to the air density causing any sound to amplify. The similarities with our own current world, how children "fly the nest" and their parents become spectators for their lives was an interesting concept. ]]> 2021-04-02 22:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/adiaz543/fqgypcso062rgr8o/wish/1378859448 adiaz543 https://padlet.com/adiaz543/fqgypcso062rgr8o/wish/1378867757 2021-04-02 22:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/adiaz543/fqgypcso062rgr8o/wish/1378867757 adiaz543 https://padlet.com/adiaz543/fqgypcso062rgr8o/wish/1378869821 2021-04-02 22:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/adiaz543/fqgypcso062rgr8o/wish/1378869821 adiaz543 https://padlet.com/adiaz543/fqgypcso062rgr8o/wish/1378871092 The idea that the elders are opposed to new innovations while the younger generation is more than happy to adapt and learn new innovations was also quite interesting.]]> 2021-04-02 22:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/adiaz543/fqgypcso062rgr8o/wish/1378871092 adiaz543 https://padlet.com/adiaz543/fqgypcso062rgr8o/wish/1378873502 “The idea of thinking in a linguistic yet nonphonological mode always intrigued me. I had a friend born of deaf parents; he grew up using American Sign Language, and he told me that he often thought in ASL instead of English. I used to wonder what it was like to have one’s thoughts be manually coded, to reason using an inner pair of hands instead of an inner voice. With Heptapod B, I was experiencing something just as foreign: my thoughts were becoming graphically coded. There were trance-like moments during the day when my thoughts weren’t expressed with my internal voice; instead, I saw semagrams with my mind’s eye, sprouting like frost on a windowpane."

The protagonist learns to communicate with aliens, and by doing so she becomes fluent in Heptapod B. The way that learning this language caused her to start thinking in this language and all other sorts of reality changes occur is quite interesting. Communication and langauge are seen as being accompanied with a profound shift in reality and sense of self. ]]> 2021-04-02 22:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/adiaz543/fqgypcso062rgr8o/wish/1378879434
