Marie Brenner, Walter Benjamin and The Six Million Dollar Man

Marie Brenner penned many articles, including this excerpt from "The Man Who Knew Too Much," which preceded her time. Brenner seemed to propose new twists on allegorical concepts, introduced the idea of the whistle-blower perspective in several pieces, and wrote about unprecedented stories. Using Brenner as a standpoint, Benjamin was also ahead of his time. He documented events that were neglected within the academic sphere, but largely due to the influence of the genesis of history.

Benjamin wandered and his descriptions of life on the fringes of WWII remain mysterious. He adopts the position of an impassive watcher of commerce as nations fight over the spoils of war after WWI. The main consistency in his writing is that the wanderer mystique is evoked in many of his passages. Many question his role as an individual. The wanderer mystique is also evoked in the writings of Brenner.

She writes,

"I am a whistle-blower," he says. "I am notorious. It is a kind of infamy doing what I am doing, isn't that what they say?"

The whistle-blower introduces the role of the speaker with a question. Walter Benjamin also investigated the role of the speaker in his writing style. He dabbled with the tropes of Twitter before such a machine were popular on-line. Walter Benjamin's writing style was created before such a machine existed on-line. These citations aside, the implications are, the letter is a representation of material.
