He provided loads of examples in this paragraph in order to prove that most people had lost their sovereignty without awareness and became consumer. In the second part of the loss of creature he put forward a word “packaging” to illustrate why people lost their sovereignty and became consumer. I totally agree with Percy’s idea that “packaging” has a bad effect on people. In this essay, I will explain Percy’s attitude toward “packaging” and provide my own experience to explain my perspective in “packaging”.

Compared to the citizens, students’ sonnet was concealed by a symbolic package which formed by the media (Percy 306). “The media supposed to transmit the sonnet but succeed in transmitting themselves” (Percy 306). The students may give all the answers temporarily but only remember the surrounding they first read sonnet after twenty years instead of what sonnet itself (Percy 306). “Packaging” referred to the memorable surrounding during learning sonnet.

There were many exams to test our level in performing Chinese zither, so I thought I could get rid of the control of studying Chinese zither by passing all the level test exams. I started to learn it harder in order to accelerate passing the exam. Finally, I have passed all the level tests in five years and stopped learning anything about it. Every time when I heard people talk about how Chinese zither influence their ways of dealing relationship with other and how their temper became tender and softer, I was confused that why I never had changes by leaning Chinese zither even I have learnt it for five years. In my experience of learning Chinese zither, the “packaging” is the method of playing Chinese zither. I leant the “package” only for passing the tests that
