Blog numero seis "Why Do You Feel Differently"

Have you ever had an misunderstanding with someone and both of you did not know what the other was talking about? Well Gertrude Stein's "Why Do You Feel Differently" is a description of that type of situation.  To me, the poem itself seems to be either a miscommunication between an internal thought or between two actual subjects.  One point of view could be the "nice wives" stated in the poem but ultimately it is still about some sort of confusion.  The underlying fact is that to fully understand someone or something questions must be asked.  The repetition in the poem serves as a point in this fact because to truly understand something one must regurgitate it until it is embedded in the mind.  The style of using the same words in a different manner also complements the idea that as individuals we interpret each situation differently.  This difference in thought is an idea that causes the confusion and misunderstandings that we have among each other, but it is what makes the individual unique.  If everyone had the same pattern of thought then the world would lose the meaning of creativity.
