    Yo, I hope you are ready to learn some really cool shizniz about how we understand other shizniz by interpreting that shizniz. Over this past term, I have learned how individuals form an interpretation.

However, while Nabokov and Frankenstein suggest that one may never be able to know the “real life” of another person, perhaps one’s failed attempts to perfectly capture that reality—reflections or interpretations of reality, that is—function as the most meaningful “reality” for the would-be knower.

Yann Martel, the author of the text, declares that “reality is an interpretation, a choice of readings, a choice of stories.” The definition of reality, therefore, is not events which actually occur, but what is real to an individual.

    variety of ways since it’s creation in 1797. Some, such as Gavin McGann, argue that ballad is a story of our salvation of Christ, whereas others dispute this, believing it to be a metaphor for Original Sin in the Garden of Eden. Whilst these interpretations may differ, the view that The Rime may be read as a religious text does not.

    a subtly humorous work as Billy Collins has done in “Litany”. This poem has achieved being humorous due to the use of metaphors, imagery, and anaphora. The strange metaphors and imagery when referring to the female character make every persons interpretation very unique because the metaphors are not as clear as others. The female character is being compared to strange household items, and aspects of nature, such as animals. Within Billy Collins “Litany”, metaphors, imagery, and anaphora are used to
