If the authors from "This is Water" and "Morrison Nobel Lecture" sat down for dinner together they would get along quite well. In both of these essays the authors, Toni Morrison and David Foster Wallace, share an opinion that choice , freewill and thoughts are what is most important in order for out current society to succeed.The conversation would, most likely, begin with both of them talking about their respected and specific ways of looking at the world. Morrison would talk about how she sees language, writing, and the creative process as the most important factors to human life and that without these three things, humans wouldn't and won't, in the future, past, and present, be able to truly call themselves "free thinking humans" instead of  "robotic" animals. After Morrison was finished,(and the two of them had eaten their linguine cooked with olive oil) Wallace would start talking about his side of the human story(but, not before he brought out dessert which was, of course, pumpkin pie made by the "kool kids pies and pastries" pastry shop). Wallace then begins chatting about how easy it is to get caught up in the miserable, depressing, and "automatic" thought cycle that, he himself, gets trapped inside of, from time to time. He would explain that it makes more sense, to him, to think outside of the box in the minute and frustrating ordeals of everyday life, such as, going to an overly crowded grocery store after a long and hard day of work. Therefore, the two authors would respect and, for the most part, agree with each others opinions. Although, Morrison may see Wallace's opinions as too cynical and intense while, Wallace would most likely see Morrison's opinions as, almost, too hopeful and overly positive. But, overall the two would have a lot of intelligent and intriguing conversation surrounding the human mindset.
