These were the last words ever spoken between me and my best friend, Stephen. I never saw him again after that.We weren’t allowed to speak because his girlfriend didn’t like it.

Nonverbal communication plays an important part in any interpersonal transaction. Artifacts are ornaments or adornments that communicate messages about us. We choose artifacts for both function and for the message that they say about us. When people enter your space and see an artifact they may interpret it in different ways.

Merriam-Webster defines the word artifact as something created by human usually for a practical purpose: an object remaining from a particular period. In my family, there aren’t a lot of artifacts, but we do have a special artifact that means a lot to my mom’s side of the family. Similar to the way Brazilians celebrate Brazilian Carnival, in New Orleans, we celebrate Mardi Gras. Celebrating Mardi Gras is my family tradition. But my mom and I haven’t been in years due to school complications and other commitments. Every year when my mom and I miss Mardi Gras we go to the basement and find different Mardi Gras beads, and where them all day.

In the section Curiosities, Collections and Memorabilia, Susan Steward examines the symbolic meaning and narrative of the souvenir and how that relates to the found object. She explains how people authenticate meaning through souvenirs. Souvenirs authenticate the past while the past gives authentication to the collection as a whole. Souvenirs remind us of an experience we’ve had or allows us to imagine an experience we’ve never had. Steward says that souvenirs function as an allusion. There are meanings assigned to souvenirs that are basically dependent on the viewers prior experience. The trigger a viewer’s focus on relationships, people, places, destinations and events. Souvenirs create meanings that are fluid, constructed and reconstructed overtime, and therefore always incomplete.

Another important artifact in my life is my suitcase. My suitcase has been to L.A, Washington D.C., New York City, and even Hawaii. It has been everywhere I have.

Paul McCartney said he emulated Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Elvis. As a result, McCartney and John Lenon have made it to be one of the best song writing teams. Additionally, McCartney has also emulated Little Richard’s singing style. Little Richard has a unique voice and way of singing as he puts emphasis and weight on both the start and end of his phrases inconsistently. It is an extraordinary sound where he pushes his exhalation to a high short scream. His highly energized falsetto is one that many rock singers love to employ (Soto-Morettini). His free-style kind of singing has influenced many artists including McCartney. McCartney eventually adapted to Little Richard’s primal scream sound (Soto-Morettini). Henry Ford has also admitted “I invented nothing new. I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind who were centuries of work. Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed. So it is with every new thing. Progress happens when all the factors that make for it are ready, and then it is

When looking for an artifact I first asked my grandfather. When I asked him I found out a lot about my family history like how my great grandfather was in the Olympics which lead to the fact that when around 1953 the trend was to collect pins and place them on a hat. The artifact I found was pins from a collection of different sports events in the Olympics that mark wins and teams competing in the olympics. Looking and researching these pins I have noticed how valuable they can be. Some history behind these pins is how they all represent some countries and the times they were in the

Fandom, both as a community and a culture is interpretative. The term interpretative community was rooted from a literary theorist named Stanley Fish. He established this notion in his book “Is There a Text in this Class?” (1980), believing that the reader holds a core position both in shaping and producing the meaning of literary works where according to him, reader’s experiences affects their interpretation of a text. In his study, Fish (1980) divided the act of reading texts into two (2) categories in accordance with the reading strategies of the reader enabling him/her to interpret the text and define it. First, the same reader interprets different text differently. Second, different readers may interpret the same text similarly.
