"Culture is Ordinary"
"Culture is Ordinary" introduced different meaning of culture. Raymond Williams writes using facts and showing examples. Everyone has their own meaning when it comes to culture. I like how Williams started the article describing the simple things in life as a bus trip in Cambridge. Williams journey began in a university and went to the the Black Mountains in Wales. The mountain shows the example of how many different cultures he could turn to. The article then leads us to show the journey of culture in everyday life. He writes this article to make the reader think throughout the entire piece. It is almost as though he wants the reader to think of their own meaning and direction. Williams is trying to explain all the different views of "culture" and by the end I believe everyone thought of their own. This article was difficult to understand at first but after a few reading I began to understand!
