Comparison

In looking at "Planet Unflinching" by Kelly Cherry and the unnamed essay by Camille Davis, I think that they work well together in terms of theme. I say this because in Camille's essay, we the have the issue of a father who is typically away from his home. In the first part of Cherry's essay, she remarks that through the use of cyberspace, the idea of an object being in two places at once is completely possible. I feel like these have a strong connection because I feel that, deep down, one of the primary wants of Camille's essay was for their father to be home, but it seems as though he cannot both work and fulfill his promise of being home at the same time. I guess the connection I drew here is that, in a way, it is possible, and deep down, we probably all have somewhere else we always want to be, even if we can't.
