applications to the text. This opens their minds to understand different ways to interpret the reading rather than just form an opinion, which is important because not every child is taught how to read in the same school or under the same level of criticism. The concept of having a “critical lens” is what is said to have been taught to students for reading, and is what Mark Edmundson has taken an issue with. Mr. Edmundson believes that teachers should simply just assign a reading, rather than…

Patriarchy, by definition, is the idea in which men hold a status of power among all and this power is continually passed down through paternal lineage. However, the term “patriarchy” is very loose and often changes regarding the situation at hand. This broad idea of patriarchy is portrayed in the Bible through language such as “he,” “him,” and most importantly, “man” or, “men.” The male powered society can also be viewed in referring to the position of power men played in the culture of Israel…

The rather long essay, “An Experiment in Criticism”, by C.S. Lewis offers a reverse type of traditional literary criticism that focuses on distinction of readers instead of the book itself. The way of approach to the literature classifies the different types of readers.

It is a wonderful book as it takes u the road…

This contradiction undermines Lewis by stating that there are such things as “good and bad art”. Lewis is logical with his syllogism and…

In The Crying of Lot 49, Oedipa Maas’ development as a reader represents the historical transformation from a traditional, transparent and factual way of understanding the world (typical of the 1950s and the Cold War period) towards a reading related to the possibility of multiple meanings and the metaphor (characteristic of the 1960s). In particular, the paranoid perception of reality, questioning the appearance of the things and looking for their transcendental meaning, allows the acceptance…
