Can't Stop Won't Stop (pg 1-30)

Summary: So I decided to choose a hip hop book for my term 4 ROAR book. I figured I would want to choose something that is pretty modern and interesting because I probably wouldn't have interest in a book that its history begings a very long time ago. So in the start of this book, there are two guys who are going to seem very important. Their names are Neil Howe and William Strauss. They're described as "baby boomers and self-described social forecasters" and that seems to be very interesting.


Quote: "The act of determining a group of people by placing beginning and ending date around them is a way to impose a narrative" (Chang 1).


Reaction: First of all, I thought this quote was pretty powerful because it just seems like it has a lot of meaning to it. Chang believes that if you give people a definitive beginning and end, it'll tell a type of story about people. So it seems like he belives that you can tell a story about a person through what they did during their timeline. So I am pretty sure that what is to come in the book should be quite interesting.
