I Don't Need A Title

Another piece of "art" that could be included in the first article is a printed newspaper that follows the guidelines of an authoritative source. I am referring to "the Onion." It has the same look in printed form and in online form as many large and reputable sources such as the NY Times. It isn't until you start reading and digesting the information that you realize it is satirical, which is similar to the examples presented in the first article.

I remember reading Mr Wilsons Cabinet of Wonders for another class (critical reasoning perhaps?) and the one thing I remember about it was how matter of fact Mr Wilson was. He was almost a exhibit himself because he presented exhibits or models as if they really could exist. He was not about to let the facade deteriorate no matter how unconvincing or convincing his objects were. He stuck to his guns and there is something commendable about that. So what if the object is not real, his descriptions lend the possibility that maybe...somewhere...it could happen.
