Gertude Stein Part On

So Not So funny story, my very indepth article on Gertude Stein did not post properlly and was erased... That'ls So Gertude

Anyway the show must go on.

World Famous Gertude Stein writes the book, The Geographical History of America,  a book clearly about teh differences between the Human mind and Human nature. Human nature is repesented as instinct, traits that both humans and anmals share. Human Mind is represented as intellect, things that only humans can do. So a good example of this would be, breathing is human nature whereas writing is the human mind. All animals need to have the ability to breathe, this comes standard with our DNA, however humans are the only animals that have the abilityto write which turns itinto a human mind trait, intellect is a human mind trait.
Stein states "What is the diffeence between remembering what has been happening and remembering whats has been as dreaming. None. Therefore there is no relation between human nature and the human mind." Here she is saying there is not difference between dreaming and remembering and they both fall under the human mind. I feel this is just her weird way of giving us lists and examples of how human nature and the human mind are not connected. Same goes for the quote, ";Human Nature does not excite me but it makes me nervous. Therefoe hman nature is like the great war, it makes you nervous. It is not nevous but it makes you nervous. And as it makes you nervous it has nothing to do with the human mind." Here she is saying nervousness is not a human mindtrait, the human nature has this trait as well. More so she is dispelling the myths fwhat is actually human nature and what is the human mind by comparing dogs to humans and allowing dogs to have humanly trait as they typically do.
