DeSant'Anna drives home the point in the “Letter to the Dead” that “nothing has changed in essence” (DeSant'Anna). He shows how insignificant we are compared to the tremendous world around us. We are in such a small fragment of time and when we see things happening it's essentially just a repeat of previous events.
He never specifically states a relationship, but he does speak a little bit about the connection or lack of between the different generations. “And each generation, full of itself, continues to think that it lives at the summit of history”(DeSant'Anna). I think this is what he is focusing on because each generation brings new ideas and seem world changing and even though they aren’t technically new they are just being built off
