Honestly, I didn't find this final chapter as memorable as some of the others such as the one on apologizing, or the harassment chapter. Throughout the book my mind flew everywhere except Lakoff's train of thought. Sadly not too many examples stood out to me.

One statement did stand out to me was this statement: If you can't talk about it, it didn't happen. Here Lakoff is referring to the relationship between the event and the news media. If the media doesn't talk about an important event, it creases to be important. It almost disappears.

After events happen, they merely become memories. Memories are an intangible thing. If you cease to think about them they go away. Part of the media's job is to continue to presenting memories. However, one has to wonder, who gets to tell the story? Who gets to recap the memory?

In a way the media functions much the same way as a memory does of an event. Perhaps as time goes by, the writers and other media workers gain more insight on an event. In the same sense as time passes, I gain more insights on an event that happened in the past.

For instance, when I was in first grade my teacher honesty seemed like a large massive monster out to get me. I really dreaded going to class because she always seemed to be mad and she yelled like a volcano. Today however, when I think of my dear first grade teacher, I think of an unhappy lady with unsteady nerves and a tiring job.
