The worldview of this piece is Postmodern mainly because they believe names or words have no significance. It can be explained by these categories:
1. God and Universe
~ They see God as fallible so they look to themselves for answers and what is right for their
lives. They beleive everyone is their own personal god and needs no higher ruler.
"You and you father lent me this - gave it to me actully. It's been really useful, but it
doesn't exactly seem to fit very well lately."
2. Humanity and Identity
~In This worldview there is no exact identity. Since names or words don't matter it has no
relavance to what it belongs too. It is just a name and nothing more. Your identity is
based on the individual.
"The cats, of course, steadfastly denied ever having had any name other than those self-
given."
3. Conflict and Suffering
~ Since words have no importance or meaning, people cannot find meaning. Life is pointless
and you get lost in trying to find some truth. There is always confusion and no absolutes.
"I could not chatter away as I used to do, taking it all for granted."
4. Hope and Redemption
~ Since meaning is completely lost, they have to find hope in themselves. They look only
to their own ways and thoughts for what to do it life. It is not from God the creator. It
is all relative to the person.
"In fact, I had only just then realized how ahrd it would have been to explain myself."
5. Values and Relationships
~ Once again since all things are relative, you values come from yourself. You cannot not
find them in God, creation, or anything else. Rather you look to youself for life's purpose.
"I had been prepared to defend my decision"
6. Truth and Knowledge
~ The truth is relative to every individual. It sways depending on the person. Words don't
have any meaning and people are their own gods. you do as you see fit in your own life
and no one can change what you want to do.
"It's (the gift) been really useful, but it doesn't exactly seem to fit very well lately."
