160 of Moods and conclusion

160

In 160 Hoffman talks about music being a thing you can interpret at comparing it to the grocery cornflakes "but we see cornflakes and think of snowflakes falling on the Siberian tundra,or we see soup mix and think of stardust ". This connection is between how music can sound different and doesn't  have to be a certain way and blues supports this , the blues can have a lot of feelings and soul and meaning to it. Hoffman later talks about only some will truly understand the "secret " and that there so distinct and different you can find them in a crowd like they are rare to come by.

190- 191

the conclusion of the novel  Moods by Yoel Hoffman was to inform readers that this was a book of self reflection Hoffman wouldn't add characters to a story that was already written , he showed how this book was different from other writers and it was left to ones own interpretation on how it went. Hoffman argued with the idea other writers couldn't do this and would be left with back lash but the way his book was written he could get away with it.
In 191 Hoffman talks abut a bible versus I believe in the old testament and how god may have created the world but it was filled with emptiness and loneliness .I think Hoffman was reflecting on his book on how he created it and it was up to the readers to fulfill it and these who don't would be left with nothing from it. Only looking at Moods at a surface level would result in being lost and feeling of something is left out than other traditional stories. to understand moods you would have to read it and then the book would unfold to your understanding.
