Response to "Death of the Author" and John Cage

In this essay, Barthes demonstrates that an author is not simply a person but a socially and historically constituted subject instead. I agree with this because is part of history and isn't just a normal person in the street that won't be remembered. The author is someone that is socially and historically constituted because that author would be remember as a part of something bigger than being just one person.

I wish that the sounds and the reading of the stories would go well together. There were hardly any sounds at the beginning and it just felt like noise and could be done without them.
