Interpretations

Taking this class and looking back on other classes I have taken I have really started to notice how many opinions there can actually be about a book and or author. While being in class I get to share my own points of view and opinions on certain books and I also get to hear what others have to say. With all these thoughts swirling around about a book it has opened my eyes to how much scrutiny a book is up to when it is published to the public. I think I would be very frustrated if I was an author because there is a great chance for the book that you have written is going to be interpreted wrong or looked into to deep. When we are sharing opinions in class about books there are things that stuck out to some people that really bothered them that I didn't even notice and I am sure there are things that I have found that might not have even crossed the mind of anyone else. I was just going over things I had to do for this class and I started to reflect on the course and this idea just popped in and it made me think for a second and I thought I would get my thoughts on this blog. It just shows how carefully an author has to put a book together to make sure their ideas get across in the text.
