#7 Prompt Response: Anytime someone is reading a piece of literature, there is always a meaning within the text. Some meanings are obvious and some are not. However, that doesn’t stop them from being there. As a reader embarks upon their journey to engage in a character’s life and thought process, they will slowly begin to develop questions about what the character will or will not do next. As the book progresses, the reader’s questions will only continue to increase as the suspense gets higher and higher. Within time, they will understand why a character will choose a specific action. Whether good or bad, that character’s action will have a purpose. This purpose is a meaning that inspires a bigger picture. It might demonstrate a problem with society, a lesson that the reader should learn, etc. Depending on the book, the author’s intention might have only been to create one given lesson. However, the human brain works in mysterious ways. A person might be open to creating a variety of lessons from their given text. Some might not even be aware that they are doing this, they just might simply think that they have found the correct theme of the story, when in reality, the author had a completely different plan at hand. For those who are aware that they are doing this, they are demonstrating ambiguity. They are, in a way, helping the book to become twice as beneficial. If they can create and teach themselves a new lesson based off of what they perceived from a book, then they are also teaching themselves something that could somewhat help them in real life.
