For this blog entry I chose a quotation written by Kennedy and Gioia. “No text provides self-contained meaning; literary texts do not exist independently of readers‘interpretations. A text …is not finished until it is read and interpreted....religious, cultural and social values affect readings”
I really agree with this paragraph in the sense that it says that texts have more than one interpretation. The interpretation will depend on who is going to read the text and what will be the impact that it is going to cause in the reader.
For the same text, there will be several different interpretations because every person has their own point of view. If I read a text and then I analyze it, I may agree with some points and disagree with others. If someone from another genre or country or age read it, he/she may have other point of view about the same text. It does not mean that we can not have things in common, but it means that we are all different and that we may have opinions that will not be the same.
