In "Ignorance and Mystery", Gale Rhodes's theory is that you can identify different sides of your personality. She refers to Borges's story of the public and private side. She tells of how there is the private side, which is most favored and the public side. She tells how in his private side he loves maps and could be in the library reading his beloved readings. Then there is the public where he is a teacher, speaker, and possibly one who would sign books at a bookstore. In my thoughts, they both believe the same idea or theory, but in some parts she says obviously we know that there is just one Borges. Do I believe in the Rhodes's theory of being able to find different sides of your personality. Yes I do, because some people for example high schoolers, there are the jocks and popular girls such as cheerleaders and others of that nature. They act like they are the coolest, smartest, and for the girls the prettiest. If you think about it, in the private side, they might love doing things suh as reading books and things that their so called "super cool friends" would think is nerdy. They would never tell them because they know that those people wouldn't look at them the same. Like Borges's story they feel that that this private my be taking over them and they want it out. Rhodes says in "Ignorance and Mystery", that there is the side where basically you can't find yourself. Then there is the side on the where there is me, the one who feels the loon and feels the excitement of kinship with an animal whose identical ancestors foraged off such shores long before my own ancestors. So after all of this I do believe Rhodes's theory although others would say there is just one person with one personality.
