In my short story‚ “He Who Has Ears‚ Let Him See”‚ I used a third person narrator but told the story mainly through the dialogue between Shawn and Celia (the only two characters in the story). I wanted to use dialogue because it is a very effective way of bringing characters to life and really showing readers the characters’ personalities. I chose a small ice cream shop as the setting because I felt that it best symbolized the childlike energy shared between the two characters. I also made a choice

as the dramatic selfillumination of existence. – Peter Sloterdijk1 Introduction eading or hearing about Theodor Adorno’s ideas always results in quibbles. He strikes many as a naïve philosopher because of his reversal of concept and object; some see him as an anarchist because of his relentless critique of rationality; while to others he simply does not make sense‚ and especially a critique of society based on negative dialectics simply does not make sense to many!
