This quote highlights the importance of learning anything in a proper manner and how false facts have no foundation and are not necessary. Darwin expresses how learning should be done through hard and true facts and not…

A symbol creates a direct and complex relationship between a specific object, scene, character, or action and ideas, values, or way of life. In some ways the symbol substitutes a physical, palpable key for an abstract concept. A symbol is capable of submeaning and hidden pieces but a symbol can’t be fake, must be a literal term present in the text. In “A Rose for Emily”, symbolism runs deep and gives a new level of non superficial…

To interpret a passage responsibly and reflectively, one must study the literary context around the passage. By literary context I mean how the context shapes the meaning of the text. If we know it or not, each time we come to a text, we are already implying our presuppositions about what we know. More than often, our presuppositions are incorrect because we receive them from our present day in age and not that of the day the text was written. We need to throw these out, and study the text…
