Discovering a new map

RUth Ozeki, in her novel All Over Creation, did not create a fiction narrative with a hidden eco-crazy agenda, rather she created a story about life. And in that life the world is involved. She is honest about the farm narrative. Its not that she was forcing eviromental theory but it is part of the story. It is, as our class would say, the "identity" connect to the characters. The intersection of enviroment and idenitiy is called in play because it has an impactful role in the lives and the wellbeing of Lloyd, Cass, and many of the others. The themes of the novel play on daily life and to create a story that is raw in emotion as well as raw in its adaptation. The is not scapegoating the truth that GMO, Pesticides, and economic are pivital to the setting of the novel. I think that Ozeki does not believe she is "trogan housing" anyone because she is as a writter give a complete depicition of the world in which Yumi was raised in as returns too. While it may be a "new geography" it is brought to life through literature and given equally as much weight as a real town in Idaho.The "new" or literary world created by Ozeki is see by the read as an actual place and that is what good writers do. They invite their readers into a imagined world, with unimaginable details, and give it vitality and realism. In a sense, I have come to understand the livelihoods of many of the characters and can relate to the enviromental questions because Ozeki has created dialogue about farming and the community as well as bring up questions of ethics. Through writing devises, like the nazi allusion, Ozeki is makes the fictious story tangible and to the reader real. The whole point is she leaves no room for false assumptions and bad ambiguity. She knows how her writing is playing with the minds of her readers and she does not conceal her motives. The idea of interbeing that Ozeki tried to bring up  appears within the novel and has a role in the development of the characters. Each have their own response to the natural world but boiled down they all have a response. Because all are interconnected within it. For the most part, their lives deal with the natural world and their well being (stablity, finance, work) revolves around argicutlure. Agriculture, in a world of industiralization and urban sprawl, is one of the last way that people can connect with the soil and mother nature without cement getting in the way. I think that this creates a unique narrative for the story as it investigates this duelality of nature and existence.
