Answer: In the book, Against ordinary language: the language of the body, the author Kathy Acker write the chapter in the form a diary entry when the author tries to tell the experience that the person has experiences while body building[1]. Through the art of bodybuilding, the author tries to explain the language of the body in different manners. The main idea about the text is that is drifts away from the general meaning of body language. The normal meaning of body language means the way a person communicates through the use o different gestures or through non-verbal communication. However, in the present text the author drifts away from the general meaning of the language of the body, the author used the terms to show how a body will speak through the muscles. Kathy tries to write about the world of bodybuilding and explains it as geography of no language, as she was having difficulty in understanding the world of bodybuilding; she turns to the authors, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Elias Canetti. It is difficult to relate the two worlds of dreams with concrete world of the bodybuilding. However, the capacity of Kathy Acker lies in the fact that she is able to explain the surreal world of Canetti and relate the world of bodybuilding. The greatest strength of Kathy is that she never shy away from calling that the athletes are stupid or do not shy away from saying that the job of body builders monotonous in nature.
