John Wayne
I think the transcript, John Wayne, brought up some interesting points. It was more than just a story that lead from one thing to another, more than a conversation that drifted from one topic to the next, but it had many layers to it. There was a complete turn-around from what one might have first expected in the beginning, which goes along with the author's point that we shouldn't always believe things. We shouldn't always believe what people say, for example, whether Eta actually had an affair with John Wayne or not. But that is beyond the point. Truth is separate and beyond fact. The author tries to turn around who John Wayne is, what he is known for, what we automatically think of when we hear his name. From being a murderous macho, sexist, big cowboy to perhaps being a feminist, or a person who actually cared abot and had compassion for the well-being of others... This is such a great contrast, and from this the author pokes fun at what John Wayne symbolizes.
