The History of Silence

Every Monday Wednesday and Friday in my 206 class there is a minute of silence before we start discussing that days reading. Today 30 seconds of that minute was spent by the teacher ringing a bell. I never realized just how amazing that minute was until it wasn't there. I blame the noisy 30 seconds on why my day was not so fantastic.
On second thought...reading Foucault might be the real reason my day wasn't so great...

  1. Explain to me what the purpose of the silence is? And if the professor instituted a minute of silence, why did he then disrupt it with bells?

  2. The minute of silence is so that we can "collect our thoughts" kinda hippie but rather enjoyable. I don't know why he rang the bell...other people thought it was funny...I wanted to scream.
