After reading and interpreting Atwoods writing, I can say that Atwood’s writing style is very intriguing, as it was able to capture my attention by telling a story in a different manner. The title of the text being “Time Capsule Found on the Dead Planet” makes me think of a cartoon, this sounds like the name of an episode where they maybe encounter a new planet and find a time capsule that explains everything that went on throughout life on that planet. However, Atwood goes on to tell a story in chronological order, numbering each part starting from the creation of gods, to the creation of money, to the evolution and what money became, and finally, the creation of deserts. Atwood is trying to tell a story in a creative way. The gods we “created” are what we pray to and what we put in churches, hence the “We forged them from shining metals and painted them on temple walls.” Then we created money, which is self explanatory, ” This money was also made of shining metals. It had two faces: on one side was a severed head, that of a king or some other noteworthy person”, as coins and paper money have former presidents on them. Then the evolution of money, the growth of greed and what money has become. And finally, Atwood talks about deserts, which I interpreted as cities or just anything that required money to create, that was not on earth before humans were created. Atwood’s writing style is very unique, it gives me a feeling that something else is being told (like a storyline for a cartoon, like I said before), but in reality its just a story on what money has done to us.
