79-80
The two sections of 79 and 80 of Moods By Yoel Hoffmann tie into one another. In 79 Hoffmann talks about how people named Jorge are not by chance but rather scattered , I could connect this to 80 where he states "those who believe that movements like these are scribbled in the stars". He is talking about that things are bound to happen much like the concept of faith. Faith being things that cant be changed and are meant to be. Hoffmann later on writes about how life takes different turn and one is never the same as the other in 79.He also states in 80 at the end " after all, we too are made of stardust,and there is no difference between the stuff of the stars and us". The meaning behind this would be that the end of the day anything we do wont make a difference and the only change in between us is that in the end there is death,so our lives cant change in between or is unpredictable.
78 and 81
The sections that come before and after 79 and 80 correspond with the narrative he is trying to tell. In 78 Hoffmann talked about a man marrying and breaking glass and how it scattered about. I connected this to 79 since it talks about a man named Jorge and how they are scattered in life
then he goes on to Mary which is called "Jorge wife". In section 81 Hoffmann talked about how you could see millions of stars in the sky then talks about the people in his life/ surround him.
This connects to section 80 with the stars and how there is no difference between us and the stars , since his life down on Earth cant change and his only worry with him was to get a girl to like him and it was the same goal as the people around him.
