Synthesis

In the essay A House of Cards, Laperriere talkes about how the stock market drop happened in conjuction with the problems in subprime lending. Not only that but also that subprime lending had a real effect on the homes in Miami. This information regarding people having troubles with paying thier home loans is a result of thier displaced meaning with in thier home itself. This information Laperriere presented has a direct corralation with the ideas that McCracken presents in The Evocitave Power of Things about displaced meaning not only being a factor on a national scale (stock market) but also on a more individual bases (Miami).
