Rosh Hashanah fell this year, like it
does every year, on the first of Tishrei.
And just before sundown on September
26 th , Jews everywhere were preparing. At
the Ugly Lamphouse, Daniel was cooking
food for the evening and next day. There
was round challah, as is customary to have
during the High Holidays. There were
potatoes and broccoli, there was veg'an
lasagna, there was yam stew, salad, and
there was spaghetti with various sauces.
Hummus and bread and wine to be blessed
rounded out the fare.
When it neared 7:30, people had
already arrived at the Ugly Lamphouse,
and started the twelve-block walk to
where services were 'being held this year.
We walked down the road, four of us

together, and we slowed the traffic and
maJe the cars hesitate, before they drove
around us slowly. The place was called
Unity Church, and it was so full that there
weren 't enough chairs for people.
The service was largely unfamiliar,
as I grew up with different melodies and
selections, but the text was the same, since
my shu I is reconstructionist as well, and
the people seemed familiar even though I
knew few ofthem. There was some beautiful singing, and the rabbi had a wry humor.
If I were nine years old, I might have been
bored; at nineteen, I am comfortable in the
solidarity, the collective consciousness, all
of us little ants following something that
sometimes is reminiscent of tradition,
sometimes of the quirkiness of Olympia
Jewish leaders.
After the service, I saw many people

who I hadn 't seen in many months, and I
shared hugs with many wonderful people,
who have had similar histories of tradition
to the one I experienced growing up. We
shared wine and laughter, but we needed
to go home to eat together as a community.
After waiting outside of the building for
a time, J would go in to "rescue" a person
we were waiting on; invariably I would get
drawn into more hugs and conversation of
my own .
That evening, we stayed up until
around midnight, and friends from out of
town slept over, so that they might be able
to attend the services the following days .
We ate our r1ll, and went to sleep, so that
we might wake in time for the morning
service.

Proceeds will benefit an Olympia-based organization called
The Birth Attendants that provides doula services (paraprofess ional labor assistance) to pregnant incarcerated women
at the Washington Correctional Center for Women. Our services include weekly pregnancy and labor discussion groups,
on-call labor support, and follow-up post-partum visits. The
Birth Attendants is staffed entirely by volunteers ~nd provides
the above - mentioned services free of charge to all interested
women. According to recent statistics, a pproximately 4% of
women at this correction center are pregnant on intake. Due
to the efforts of our organization, these women do not have
to face labor alone . We are currently the only organization in
Washington State providing these services to women in state
prisons.
Each month of the calendar will have a photograph depicting an aspect of pregnancy or labor. We are asking for between
one and five submissions from each artist in order to enSure
cohesion in the finished product. (Please submit a 5x7" black
and white photo for consideration.) The women that we work
with vary in age, ethnicity, body size, etc. We would like for
the calendar to reflect the diversity poss ible amongst pregnant
women. Although we are not able to provide monetary compensation, each artist who contributes will be able to provide a
brief biography and contact information in the calendar. Thank
you for your sincere consideration of our request. We look
forward to d iscussing this project with you further. Please
contact Carmel Aronson at 352.5460, or e-mail the group at

uomestlc Violence Awareness Month
by Chandra Lindeman
That's October. Around the Country,
people work to raise awareness about
the efforts to end domestic violence. [n
[981, the National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence observed the first
"Day of Unity." This was a day where
people working to end domestic violence
would gather together to support each
other in their efforts. On this day, participants would mourn those who died
due to domestic violence and celebrate
those who had survived. In October of
1987, the first National Domestic Violence Awareness Month was observed.
It was also at that time that the national
toll-free domestic violence hot line
started . In 1989, the U.S. Congress
passed the first Domestic Violence
Awareness Month Commemorative Legislation. Every year since, similar legislation has been passed.

munities. This has been of significant
concern to many activists addressing
the causes of domestic violence in our
society.
What can you do to help end domestic
violence? Start by educating yourself.
Read Iiterature or search the internet for
information, watch films about domestic
violence, attend events focused on the
issue, talk to people in your community. Next, get involved. Find out about
volunteering at your local domestic and
sexual violence prevention agency, Safe-

place, 745.6300 or TTD 1.800.833.6388.
Or help put on an event in your community to raise awareness or gather
resources for survivors of domestic
violence. Possibly the most important
action we can do is talk about domestic
violence. Talk with our families, our
children, our friends, and the larger
community. Work to dispel myths
about domestic violence and root out the
underlying causes of domestic violence
so you can begin to change them in
yourself and in your community.

Here at Evergreen, many student groups,
including Evergreen Queer Alliance and
Coalition Against Sexual Violence. are
taking action to raise awareness about
domestic violence in our community.
Join them in their efforts to raise awareness about domestic violence or start
something in your classroom or dorm .
Also this month, TESC Office' of Sexual
Prevention will be showing a film, followed by discussion .

Are We Being Human About the Occupation?
By Carmel Aronson and Eli Fintz
Crawford

space for more students to participate in
campus dialogue.

Welcome to all the new students, welcome back to all the returning students.
This is the first of several articles that
we plan to write about our thoughts and
feelings on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
and corresponding work being done on
campus.

We at Evergreen are lucky to have
several faculty members on staff Who are
closely connected to the Palestinian-Israeli
conflict and who frequently lead teach-ins
on the issues. Many Evergreen students are
personally drawn to this work and have
done amazing organizing on campus. As
is natural, this organizing has not been perfect. Things are often oversimplified, and
sometimes points of view are minimized
or marginalized:

We are two Ashkenazi (Eastern
European) Jews with strong connections
to the Evergreen community. We have both
been involved in social justice issues on
campus and anti-oppression work in the
Olympia community. Both of us have
spent time in Israel, one with a Zionist
youth organization and the other with
the International Solidarity Movement
(palsolidarity.org).
We are writing these articles to emphasize the human aspect of the conflict,
speaking both to the politicization of
Palestinian and Israeli lives, as well as
how folks on campus relate to each other
through dialogue.
At the same time, this is a hard article to
write. Everyone has a different experience
of what happened last year on campus,
and everyone's experience is true . This
is our experience of what happened. We
are writing in an effort to create an entry

graduation. Both at this graduation, and
the previous one, some students chose to
wear keffiyehs (cotton headdress traditionally worn by Arabs). For many students,
faculty and staff, seeing the keffiyehs at
graduation highlighted the growing polarization on campus.

This led to confrontation. For certain
Jewish faculty and students, this symbol
at graduatiori felt anti-Israeli, often touching on anti-Jewish. Seeing the -keffiyehs
reminded -jewish folks of all the times
on campus that

Bodies move energetically through the
air. Feet beat out an age-old rhythm . I
watch several young boys perform Dabke
between a circle of people. I clap my
hands along with the beat, and admire
their grace.
Dabke, traditional Palestinian performance, has been carried through generations, and is now actualized in the feet of
these boys.
Eighty children attend the summer
camp where these boys are dancing. Here
they learn traditional songs, practice dance
and theater, and make beautiful art. This
art is their form of resistance. They express
the anger, pain, and frustration of living
under a military occupation through the
tips of their pens, crayons, and pencils.
While their society is stifled by military
force, they refuse to forget their culture,
and actively carry it on through song and
performance . My colleague and I have
organized a bookmaking workshop with
the children. The pages of the children's
books alternate between drawing!; of flowers and hearts and tanks 'ind bulldozers.
They also write in their books about living
under occupation, their hopes of living
without fear, and their friends who have
been killed by the Israeli military.
I have been living in Rafah, a city
of 140,000 people in the southern Gaza
Strip, for almost a month. I work with a
group called the International Solidarity
Movement, and I am also helping to lay
the foundations for a sister city relationship between Rafah and Olympia,
Washington.
The Olympia-Rafah Sister City Project
was first envisioned by Rachel Corrie, of

Olympia. On March 16, 2003 Rachel was
crushed to death by an Israeli military
bulldozer, paid for by the United States,
as she blocked a Rafah home from illega l
demol ition . In Rafah , 93 2 homes have
been destroyed, and 2,000 have been partially demoli shed, all to build a massive
wall where the homes once stood .
These homes are not just buildings.
They represent the foundations of the
strong and loving community that exists
in Rafah. They are big and hand-built of
concrete, metal and wood, and painted
with beautiful designs . Inside each of
these homes, there are families, large and
small. They cook, watch television, laugh,
and talk together.
The homes in Rafah bind the com munity together, and building a wall in
place of these homes creates mental and
emotional barriers throughout the whole
community.
Thi s wall is al so cutting off any hope
that Palestinians and Israelis can live in
peaceful coexiste nce . Because of the
constant surveillance by the Israeli militar}" as well as the intense fear, isolation,
a nd anger caused by the occupation,
many people have lost trust in whoever
lives beyond the walls. When this wall is
fini shed , Palestinians and Israelis wi II be
permanently separated.
While staying in Rafah, I have been
sleeping in the homes of three families
who live along the border. During this
time, they each have made me feel a part
of their family. On my first night at Abu
Hisham's house, I met his seventeen
year-old neighbor Najila. She took me

a better position is to inform ourselves.
Again, this can look many different ways.
From posters and teach-ins to fishbowl
discussions, there is a great variety in
how challenging your method will be, and
corollary to that, how much it will affect
each participant. If you're white and you
get called on your racism , it might not be
much fun, but believe me when I tell you
that you will remember it.
A third amazing-but-difficult way is
advocacy. A friend of mine last year was
interrogated, gave a false confession, and
was trespassed off campus, which severely
hampered co 's· ability to participate in
co's job with student activities. Can you
imagine such a well-developed advocacy
program that when you are kicked out of
housing because an ARD (area resident
director) found your roommate 's pot,
you had someone arguing on your behalf
- all the way from the first meeting until
a decision had been made through the
"grievance" process? I can, just barely.
But advocacy doesn 't even need to be this
well organized. You are participating in
student advocacy when you help translate
a few words for an EF student to an administrator who can't understand Japanese. If
you' ve been around a while and see those
first-years looking lost, help 'em out.
If you are ever involved in organizing an event, remember that the time to
start thinking about making it safe for
women, people of color, queer folks,
transgendered folks, young people as well
as elders, people with disabilities, Jews,
(etc.) is when you are planning for your
event/meeting. If you don't put effort inttr
this stage, you may end up at your meeting talking about why there are no Asians
there; it's not because they don't care about
your issue.
A major complaint I' ve heard with the
activist community in general is a feeling
of an "activist-ier-than-thou" perpetrated
by activists. No, we don't need every single
person in the community working on our
issue to get any work done (although that
could be nice). But alienating people is
rarely useful. It is essential to treat every

The

Alleged Theatre
by Anen MiChaelS

by Lee Kepraios

The Alleged Theatre Project (TATP) is a creative theatre group assembled by Jon Tallman, the
company s artistic director, and Paul Hawxhurst,
the technical director, both Evergreen graduates.
Using the talents of other recent graduates and
current students, TATP in October of 2002 staged
their production of Euripides The Medea, a timeless
interpretation of the ancient Greek tragedy, focusing
on themes of disillusionment and hopelessness.
The next play to be tackled by TATP was No
Exit, by Jean-Paul Sartre. Considered one of the best
examples of existentialism, Sartre opines that "hell
is other people." Existentialism attempts to describe
our desire to make rational decisions despite
existing in an irrational universe. According to
existentialist thought, we are forced to define
our own meanings, knowing they might be temporary. In
this existence the individual defines everything. TATP
served Sartre s visions well and in a very artistically
crafted space - completely using the small interior of
the Midnight Sun performance space in downtown
Olympia. The Medea was also staged in this space.
With two well-received productions under their
belt, The Alleged Theatre Project, in cooperation
with The Evergreen State College s Office of Alumni
Affairs, is proud to present Ubu Roi, by Alfred Jarry.
Ubu Roi will be performed in the Experimental
Theater of the Communications Building at 8:00
pm, from Thursday, October 23 through Saturday,
October 25.
TATP has been hard at work for several weeks,
employing the talents of both recent graduates and
current students, to bring you a show you have never
experienced before. Jarry, and his schoolmates at his
childhood academy in France, wrote the first drafts
in 1888 of what was to become Ubu Roi, as a spoof
of a partic'Ularly despised teacher. Through ail of the
revisions of the text, up to its first performance in Paris in 1896, it never lost that child-like
irreverence.
Hailed as one of the pieces of art that instigated the artistic revolutions of surrealism
and Dada, TATP has chosen to stay true to its roots and is using every theatrical form
possible to perform this play for Evergreen and the Olympia community. There will be
sword fights, kazoo magic, and one of the strangest characters in theatre, Pere Ubu, whose
fortunes this play charts. Expect to experience one of the most absurd, ridiculous, and
inventive nights of theatre.

As Evergreen's resident movie reviewer, I performed a service to you the reader by going to the movies
every other day during the summer break. And I kept with it, taking the good with the bad and the bad

of the summer. I was able to .go to the out ofthe way plac.es, notebook in hand and see the stuff that won't

1. The 'Man on the Train - The new film from one of my favorite directors, Patrice Leconte,
is the best film of the summer. Leconte makes films about human obsession that are profound while managing to be surprisingly simple. His camera loses itself in ·his character's eccentricities, sharply playing up
his blend of wry humor and unspoken drama. Here he teams veteran film actor Jean Rochefort (who also
appeared in Leconte's Hairdresser s Husband) as a retired professor with French pop rocker Jonny Hallyday
playing a bank robber who travels to a small village to set up a crew and rob the local bank. Meanwhile,
Rochefort tutors teenagers on the side and needs heart surgery. Hallyday moves in with Rochefort and they
grow on one another. Both actors are perfectly cast in having a kind of chemistry that doesn't make it seem
as if there's any chemistry being attempted. Both characters are worn, nearing the end of their lives and
not ready to ease into anonymity. Leconte shoots The Man in digital video, making use ofa rough, grainy
surface with a flat, drab palette to further flesh out his characters' weary poignancy. What's so remarkable is
how we come to care about these men. They're envious of each other. Each wants the other man's life and
ideolog,X- The)' play 9ff each other. They teach each other their skills. And we can do nothing but smile.
2. Uwnmg Mahoney - Another tour de force performance for Phillip Seymour Hoffman in this
study ofa disease and a man who is trapped by it. He plays the real-life Dan Mahoney, and investment
banker who embezzles a chunk of the bank's money each week and loses his weekend in the neon solace
of Atlantic City. He sits there in his office counting the seconds until he can make it to the next casino. The
film paints a stark portrayal of how the only thing on the mind ofa compulsive gambler is making it to that
next game. Whether he wins or loses, he only wants to keep playing. Note the tension in Hoffman's face in
the casino scenes. He wants to win only to have the money to keep losing. It's another character transformation from an actor who has unnoticeably been churning out one great performance of inner despair and
torment after another. There is also something to be said for seeing the heartlessness of the casino industry
personified by John Hurt, as the casino manager who's just a little too ingratiating, a little too understanding, and who welcomes his guests with the tone and sincerity of an old friend .
3. Lost in Translaiion - The second film from Sofia Coppola, director of The Virgin Suicides,
balances the Slime amount of whimsy and sorrow. She walks a fine line here but gets everything just right.
Lost in Translation confirms it. She wasn't merely playing with her daddy 's cameras and respectable production company. She's the real deal. The film stars Bill Murray as a burnt out movie star making a quick
two million in Japan filming whiskey commercials and appearing on zany talk shows. Whether he's being
entertained in his hotel room by demented prostitutes or alone in the alien jungle of Tokyo, he 's lonely,
confused, and experiencing a .personal mid-life crisis. He meets Scarlet Johansson (The Man Who Wasn ~
There, Ghosl World) accompanying her new husband, a photographer, on a business trip. After a series of
chance meetings, they connect; confused beings in a strange land, cruising the seductive, seemingly endless
string of pachinko halls and karaoke bars. They share an unspoken bond, and Coppola, who also wrote the
screenplay, sidesteps superficiality by never letting it become a fleeting romance, an older man lusting after
a pretty young thing: I wanted to hug this movie. The leads are so splendidly cast with Murray playing the
sad clown of Rushmore and Johansson with the perfect match of intelligence and vulnerability. There 's not
even so much as an "I love you." It's not needed.
4. The Man Without a Past - The second film in what Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki calls
his "Finland Trilogy" is a dreamy, iridescent tragicomedy that's at once funny, strange, and eerily moving.
A man arrives in Helsinki and is beaten into amnesia. Unable to get a job or apartment, he moves in with
a poor family on the outskirts of town and tries to piece his life together. The man is played by Markku
Peltola, a gentle giant of an actor who has the kind of face that tells you he's seen and been through a lot,
not all of it good. The kind that's concealing bruised egos or broken dreams. W~ suspect that amnesia is the
best thing that ever happened to him . He meets a salvation army officer named Irma (Kati Outinen) who
seems just as miserable as he is. The Man has very little plot, so that gives its characters freedom to roam
around and find humor in the paradoxes of existence while letting a sad little love story come through. And
none of it is forced . We don't feel like the movie is telling us when to feel touched or nudge us in the ribs
to remind us to laugh. We can take it as it comes.
5. American Splendor - In the tradition of Crumb and Terry Zwigoff's comic book adaptation
Ghost World comes another innovative biopic about the R. Crumb ilk. The comic book of the title was the
brainchild of hospital filing ' clerk Harvey Pekar, who met fellow cantankerous misanthrope Crumb at a
garage sale in their native Cleveland. What followed was a series about comic books - the first ever - and
about real life. The directors, Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, have made a film that crosses
documentary testimony from the real Pekar and his wife, Joyce Brabner, with the semi-fictional scenes in
which Pekar is played by Paul Giamatti in a spot-on performance. Having the real Pekar in the interludes
(in which Giamatti and the other actors sit in the background grinning) is a masterstroke; making us sure
information in the film is factual and showing us the precision with Giamatti flawlessly disappears into his
role. Hope Davis is equally brilliant as Joyce, who's as neurotic and desperate as Pekar. Movies like this
seem like they come completely out of nowhere. Together Pekar, Brabner, Giamatti and Davis bring us in
and out of their reality, all the while illustrating that we are each our own comic book hero, the star of our
own sto!), with our own set of powers, fighting our own villains .
. 6. Dirty Pretty Things - The latest film from British director Steven Frears (The Grifters, High
Fidelity) is a taut thrmer that hits all the right buttons. His films, however plotted, stay true to their characters and never simply make them pawns serving a story. Here, his characters live in a constant struggle and
are always having to look over their backs. Newcomer Chiwetel Ejiofor plays ajust - getting - by illegal
immigrant who works days as a cab driver in a shady Istanbul and nights as a porter in an upscale hotel,
presided over by his scheming boss (Sergi Lopez). Ejiofor, a sturdy and convincing actor, suspects Lopez is
involved in foul business after he finds a human heart clogged in one of the toilets. Fellow immigrants are
lining up for jobs and will do anything for forged papers. He takes refuge in one such friend's apartment,
a fellow hotel employee (Audrey Tautou of Amelie) under government intimidation herself. The tension
builds as he learns that the heart is just part of a shady deal going on in the hotel in which Lopez plays
a part. Dirty Pretty Things shows Frears ability to add dimensions in getting in its share of biting social
commentary while bui Iding a rousing crescendo of suspense. While most thrillers go for cheap thrills and
over-plotting, here is a thriller that is actually about something.

Who is the Real

Harvey Pekar?
by Brian MCho/son

After I left the theater that was showing American
Splendor, I thought I heard someone say that he
thought that Harvey Pekar's comics would be way
more depressing than the film that was supposed
to adapt them. To a certain extent, that's true. But
that isn't even the biggest difference between the
slice-of-life comics and the film.
My experience with Pekar's comics is limited to
two short stories. Both of these stories were more
anecdotal than anything else - one related Harvey
and a friend explaining to a woman at a diner what
gentrification was, while another was essentially a
two-page monologue of Harvey saying that his life
had been pretty shitty as of late, and the only thing
he could do is keep up what he was doing. Both
seemed to end abruptly. The movie is more of a
biopic, condensing a life's worth of comic output
(not including the two stories I just mentioned,
sticking to more conventionally dramatic stuff,
like a fight with cancer, how he met his wife, etc.
with.some little anecdotal rants, like one about old
Jewish ladies in supermarkets, thrown in for comic
relief) into an under-two-hours film .

I

I

The movie claims to adapt Harvey Pekar 's autobiographical comics, and it does, but it adapts in a
way befitting cinema, much Iike how Terry Zwigoff
put a plot to the collection of short stories that was .
Daniel Clowes ' graphic novel Ghost World. The
Ghost World film worked for me in a way that the
comics didn't, because it had a plot. The American
Splendor film feels like the mainstream. Kind of
odd, since the comics are about the life 0f a file
clerk, while the film concerns itself more with the
cartoonist/fringe celebrity aspect of Harvey's life.
The film's style seems pretty innovative - cutting
between reenactments/dramatizations of Harvey 's
life, with Paul Giamatti acting the part of Harvey,
animation serving the part of Paul Giamatti's
Hatvey's inner voice, documentary footage of the
real Harvey and his friends being interviewed, actual
drawings pulled from the comic, and stock footage
of Harvey 's appearances on David Letterman and
his co-worker Toby's MTV appearance. The stock
footage shows how the mainstream media exploited
these ordinary Clevelanders for laughs. The fi 1m
doesn't quite exploit them . It doesn' t belittle them
for comedy, like television did . Instead, it enlarges
them for drama.
Let me end this review in the manner of the film ,
condensing and simp;ifying, while simultaneously
ending it like the comics would, simply stating a
fact and leaving you to make your own conclusion :
Harvey Pekar's comics are pretty much ignored in
indie-comics circles, while the Robert Pulcini/Shari
Springer Berman film is considered a hit by independent cinema standards.

Review:

Lost in
Translation

tiv Evan OfiseoU
It's refreshing to see a new face break into the film scene, and better yet when it's a
woman. Often overlooked by the male-dominant industry, women have been struggling
to find some sort of niche in the wonderful world of filmmaking.
Sofia Coppola's debut film The Virgin Suicides won critical acclaim with most critics , but failed to get much attention from mainstream audiences. This is likely due to
its lack of publicity and heavy subject manner, but nevertheless it is a movie that dealt
with its subject manner in such a way as to not make it seem melodramatic, but eerily
real.
Ms. Coppola's latest effort, Lost in Translation, follows Bob Harris (Bill Murray),
n burnt-out actor from the 70's who is again selling out to make a quick buck in Tokyo
endorsing "Suntory Whiskey." Just as Bob feels he has hit an all time low in his midlife
crisis. along comes Charlotte (Scarlet Johansson), an upbeat college graduate who feels
neglected by her husband, direction less, and really quite hopeless.
These two relatively simple, flat , one-dimensional characters have more on-screen
chemistry than Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman did in the classic Casablanca or
Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman in the visually breathtaking Moulin Rouge. Bill
tvlurray truly gives the performance of his lifetime, and should finally get his much
overdue Oscar nomination, while Scarlet Johansson establ ishes herselfas a young, tal"nted actress with an enormous amount of potential. Both of them do an excellent job
of making their acting seem effortless; so much so that I honestly th ink that if I were to
run into Scarlet Johansson on the street, I would expect her to be exactly the same as
she is in this movie.
The beauty of this movie is that it is flat and it is one-dimensional. It strips down all
the complexities, over-exaggerations, and melodramatic misunderstandings between
ordinary people and throws them right out the window. All that's left standing is wonderful simplicity snrrounded by vast amounts of nothingness.
The acting, directing and script are supported by the gorgeous drunken, dreamlike
cinematography of Lance Acord (Adaptation, Being John .Malkovich) . The subtle use
of boom mikes in certain shots adds to the realism of the scene by making you feel like
the actors aren 't acting at all, but simply being followed around by a camera crew.
Tokyo's culture strongly influences the movie by giving the overall appeal to the movie
a warm inviting glow. Lost In Translation shows the seemingly more underground aspect
of Tokyo, giving it a feeling of intimacy and class. Throughout the movie, Coppola has
a tendency to show us a more goofy side of the Asian culture to the point of sometimes
making it look ridiculous. While adding humor, it did take away from the realism of the
movie by misrepresenting Asian culture with unfortunate stereotypes.
When it ends, you find yourself more attached to Bob and Charlotte than the person
you' re sitting next to. I think that's what Coppola has achieved with this movie more
than any other this year: you have a complete and total understanding of the characters after witnessing this movie . Nothing feels better than undoubtedly understanding
another person.
With the slight misrepresentation of Japanese culture put aside, this movie shou ld
be seen by all who just want to sit back and watch a couple of actors do what they do
best.

Ah, the beginning of another school year, accompanied by sharp autumn winds
bearing yet another promiseo( intellectual and social enrichment and the seemingly
indomitable mountains of books and homework. Ah, yes, autumn, and with it, crumpled
leaves underfoot and crumpled papers in the wastebasket. And oh how many of us. in
fits of inarticulateness, will pen sentences like, "The meaning of Sophocles' Antigone
is that individual freedom is more valuable than following tradition," knowing full well
that "meaning" is not quite the right word. And so we turn, timidly, to the thesaurus.
Yes: using the thesaurus is scary. We are repeatedly warned that the thesaurus is
something used by literary hacks who want to inflate their writing with bombastic
language so that everyone will think they are smarter than they actually are. This type
of thesaurus abuse can result in egregiousfaux pas. Note the following example from
an editing service's guidelines for how not to write a college application essay: ''The
conjectural anecdote resulted in a most calamitous insurrection directed at my nbstrils.':
This ridiculous sentence really means, "The hypothetical remark got me a punch in the
nose." To avoid embarrassing blunders such as this, the authorities suggest that you
simply should know all the words you need to use ; that way you don ' t have to look up
words in the thesaurus, misuse them, and make a fool dut of yourself.
(Easier said than done .)
Unfortunately, some of us do not have the luxury of knowing all 600,000+ words of
the English language, a language replete with interesting, colorful, highly specialized
and descriptive words. The thesaurus, if used carefully, can be an extraordinary tool for
accessing those words, and can ensure that you find the most interesting, appropriate
way to say exactly what you mean.
The real trick to using a thesaurus properly is recognizing that there are no extraneous or superfluous words. Therefore, there are no two words, not even those counted
as "synonyms," that have exactly the same definition, connotation, and history. The
thesaurus lists synonyms, which are words similar or related in meaning. Your job as
a writer is to figure out the differences between synonyms, so that you can select the
word that suits your sentence.
Looking up the exact definition of each word can help you figure out these differences,
and can help you eliminate the few words that couldn't possibly fit in your sentence.
This initial step can go a long way toward keeping you from sounding like a fool.
Often, however, the remaining synonyms seem to have the same definition; after all,
that's why they're called synonyms. What to do? Simple: knowing the development
and history of words' usage can help you see the subtle differences between similar
words- you guessed it; it's time for a trip on the Etymology Express.

contll7ued from page 14
For instance, in the example about
Sophocles, "meaning" (according to

The Random House Thesaurus College
Edition) could be replaced by a long list of
synonyms, including "point," "essence,"
"sense," and "purport." Now, these words
have very similar definitions- they all
refer to an idea expressed by action or
language . But an examination of their
origins- which are catalogued at the
ends of their definitions in most standard
dictionaries-illuminates the slight differences between them.
All four synonyms come to JS from
Latin: point comes from punclere, meaning "to prick or stab" ; essence comes from
essentia, a conjugation of the Latin verb
esse, which means simply " to be" ; sense
comes from sentire, "to feel"; and purport
comes from a combination of pro- meaning "forward," and par/are, meani ng
"carry." Knowing this, we can now make
an informed stylistic choice: do we want to
imply that Sophocles pricks his audience
with his point, or that he simply carries
forward his purport?
Obtaining this knowledge allows us to
choose our word with intention, and not
simply pick one from a list at random .
Indeed, using etymology to make informed
word choices can make the thesaurus an
effective writing tool- nothing short of a
lexicographical treasure chest.
As luck would have it, the word "thesaurus" comes directly from the Greek
thaesauros, which means "storehouse" or
"treasury." So go ahead, open the treasure
chest. And let the words be your booty.
