and learn about who God is. Likewise, I personally interpret Scripture in order to more deeply grow in my relationship with Christ. As exemplified through the interpretation of Ephesians 5:22-24 and Matthew 5:27-30, my personal analysis of Scripture is to know more about who God is and what He has to say. In essence, my original interpretation of Ephesians 5:22-24 is fundamentally about wives being in submission to their husbands so as to replicate the church being in submission to Christ. For…
active audience, in which the audience interprets media content (people have different interpretations) through the different codes presented in the media. Interaction between people and media texts creates meaning due to the different interpretations in society based on an individual’s social identity. In society…
assumption that the best interpretation of a work of literature is the author’s intention for the work, as it is the basis for the work. This paper criticises this assumption as it does not allow for a sufficient understanding of literature and since there is no way to prove that there is a best interpretation. The paper offers a new assumption to alleviate these problems which states that a set of interpretations which have sufficient textual evidence are the best interpretations of any work…
question argued, is about the claim that all understanding involves interpretation, and that all interpretation is inherently perspectival. I will talk about Nietzsche’s claim that all truths are “errors”, Gadamer’s view that all understanding involves interpretation, his notion of “effective historical consciousness” and Schott’s critical stance when finally, I will add my own personal thoughts on how understanding involves interpretation.

The language was expressive and their culture fascinating, very different and honest in comparison to American English. Learning ASL came easily to her, memorize the vocabulary, study the culture and learn the grammar. By attending as many deaf events as she could, it was easy to become immersed. The language “clicked” for her at a young age, but when she began school at University of South Florida, it was…
began interpreting the text allegorically and by interpreting the text allegorically they proposed many allegorical meanings unintended by the biblical authors (pg.5). Parables of the Gospels gave one example, which speaks of the New Testament interpretation of the parable of the Good Samaritan. Plummer says that “This story as an allegorical message of salvation, with the Good Samaritan is signifying Jesus”…
person’s opinions and interpretations of everyday events will vary based on how the information is perceived. These differences are especially noticed when reading and analyzing works of literature. Poems, for example, often lead to an audience with very different interpretations of the meaning being conveyed. Although Natasha Trethewey’s poem, “Artifact,” is a rather simply structured and straightforward poem, the connotations of the diction can cause a reader’s interpretation to be completely…
information given towards them differently. Some factors that alter the way that someone manipulates information are those such as culture, religion, age, and many others that a person is unconsciously thinking about when making any decision or interpretation.

The amount of information given is the same for everyone, but…
