Jackson’s Patchwork Girl

When I recieved Jackson’s “Patchwork Girl” I was a little confused when I recieved a CD instead of a book. I even asked my friend that was in the class, if she received the same thing as I did. When I inserted the CD I was unsure of what to expect, but then a picture of a girl that was put together like a ‘crazy quilt’ I became very intrested. I started clicking around the menu, unsure of where I wanted to go.

I decided to start with the graveyard, and I found this most intresting. Patchwork girl seemed more healthy, with top of the line parts. Her lungs are so healthy, that anyone standing near her may loose their breath, feeling like they are “looking down from a great height”. However I was very shocked to see where Jackson got Patchwork girl’s right arm from. It comes from a theif, which brings a negative past to her body. The clicking around of Patchwork Girl is very intesting to me, and makes me wander even more about her life, and the story behind her body, brain, and creation.
