For anyone who has read this book,
My professor asked me what the category of history means in "White Noise", but I am kind of struggling with it. It seems that history is used to give comfort to the thought of death, such as how Jack studies Hitler as a person whose he considers "greater than death" in hopes that he too can be like Hitler. Am I missing anything else? Like maybe another example of where History is used to comfort death? Thanks
A lot of people ask school questions about books they haven't read but I don't think you have even looked at the cover.

"Il est l'heure de s'enivrer!
Pour n'être pas les esclaves martyrisés du Temps,
enivrez-vous;
enivrez-vous sans cesse!
De vin, de poésie ou de vertu, à votre guise."
- Baudelaire
considering it's "white noise" and history I'd look to radio history in particular b/c white (Caucasian) noise comes from radios.
keep us tuned in....
