Disorder in Travelling
The man in "Travelling" by Simon Ortiz, is the picture of disorder. First, his method of finding places on the globe, spinning it and picking a spot, just seems to be a picture of disorder. The orderly method would be to find a place you want to look for and then go to the globe, but this mand goes to the globe as a way of finding out what he is looking for. Another way the disorder is celebrated is found in the simple fact that he is probably crazy. His actions show it a little bit, but I found his craziness in the statement, "Travelling the known and unknown places." If you travel somewhere, either you or someone else has to know ther existence of that place. If you are travelling somewhere then you must know it exists because you are in it, but the craziness is shown in the fact that the man is travelling somewhere that is unkown. The disorder is celebrated through insanity.
