You can tell a lot about a man by his native red-tipped rifle reproduction.

well, we worship our stuff as well...

Sigh... I'm again presented with the question: why do I click on the hidden unregistered comments?

wow

Daisey is an amazing storyteller. But that line about how the noble savage pities those caught in civilization's trappings suggests to me that Daisey couldn't quite get out of the exotic other stereotype he began his trip with.

It's a generous offer. Hunting and farming are very useful skillsets.

The "line" is simply Brendan's description of a scene that is reported in the piece.

And in fact it isn't projection: it happened, and the woman in question does pity us...while simultaneously embracing the first world in many ways, which makes her pity deeply contradictory and extremely human.

But we all carry our assumptions with us, and people can watch and assess how much I rose above or failed to rise above my own.

@9: I went to the show. I thought that story was a strange way to end. It didn't sum up the complexity of the stories you described. And I think you presented it a lot less critically than you presented other things in the show. It felt like a moralistic end that didn't quite represent the material that built up to it. Not saying the event didn't happen. Saying that you might want to clarify the significance of the story, or keep thinking about the ending as you workshop the piece.
