I have looked at BLAST before in one of Professor Drouin's previous courses and I still find joy in flipping throught the magazine. The digital copy of BLAST does not do it any justice after seeing the physical magazine in TU special collections. Everything from art, style, tone, font, spacing, etc. seem to have a diliberate purpose that conveys some sort of message to the observent reader. When I was reading Manifesto I, I automatically read it theatrically with enthusiasm and emphasis on the varying degrees within font size. Of course I do not usually read things in this way, which is why I wondered the reason I did..

The writing and tone felt rushed, caotic, and almost violent. Eventhough I have read these passages before, I am still not finished digesting the material and I am unsure of it actual meaning. I did however notice English nationalism and hostility or unapproval of the French. I am not that knowledgable on the historical relationship between the two, so I am not certain why there is this negativity toward the French.
