chapter three--READING SELF, READING CULTURES, & UNDERSTANDING TEXTS

"We all read differently." i completely agree with this statement.  Each experience and person in our lives, just everything effects how we do everything! i honestly dont really remember my parents reading to me although i know they did alot because of how many books i had as a kid. But surprisingly i can remember all of the books i had when i was little and growing up. I read a lot when i was younger and before my teen years.  But every since middle school & high school i only read if it was for school.  This i know has effected me greatly compared to some of my peers that read almost everyday. Ii also was never good at reading in between the lines and trying to figure out symbolism and hidden meaning in texts.

After reading chapter three i strongly agree that everyone interprets and will understand differently due to 'fixed positions'.  And therefore whatever text that our professors have us read, they should know that we will all look at the piece differently and not all take in the same things or even what they want us to learn about it... tying in with our ethnography, all of us will research differently and even if we did all the same subject and sources our projects would be completely different. I think that this was one of the better reading, probably because of the length and it actually made me think about something different.
