Overview:
In this chapter, I believe Barthes goes to a very extreme level trying to find a deeper meaning to very ordinary thing. He talks about the myths behind soap powders and detergents. I really do not understand this chapter.

Chapter 28
Overview:
This chapter talks about books that are written that turn into cultural myths. Books such as Don Juan, and Don Quixote are brought up as examples of myths. The chapter also talks about how an author does not make a story a myth, but the public/society makes it a myth because it involves some kind of cultural values.
