The first part of this reading was just a long drawn out philisophical definition list of ways of learning someone's identity. This reading was so long and repetitive. Impatient people who are not sure about their identity probably shoot themselves halfway through. His paragraphs seemed to have almost no direction and as long as this writen work is, even if he had a thesis at the beginning of the papaer, it would have been nice to identify a thesis for each section if not paragraph. I did find his descriptions of the readymade identies interesting.
