On Flirting...

I used to think that my generation was one of the first ones to test the waters of flirting, and now I know that I could not be further from the truth. Flirting began back in the days of Daisy Miller, or wait, back in the days of dancing. We see how young men and women used to "dance around the boundaries of desire" way way back, and it is another theme in this American Literature class.

Jorge Simal wrote an essay titled "On Flirtation". Though we didn't read it all in class (I definitely will later), he made some points that just tied right in with Daisy and Citizen Kane. He made the point that flirting is the power to refuse and conceide at the same time. Now is that America or what? He also said something along the lines of deriving from marriage and abduction, but am but sure if he was talking about marriage and abduction in terms of flirting. Whatever the case, we see this little action popping up all over our texts.

We get 'carried away' with this thing called flirting. And now that I see it actually is something that authors love to write about, I will now correct my friends whenever I catch them in the act!
