(MY opinion)

In the chapter of How to Read Literature Like a Professor I found it very interesting and mind opening. When people usually see the phrase "blind" in literature they automatically think of some body being physically blind, but the truth is that there is so much more to being "blind" when you think about it. For instance, some one could be emotionally blind, spiritually blind, and so much more. It is important that we be open minded when it come to literature because sometimes even the smartest people over think some things. They go off into some great answer when the answer was so simple to begin with. Now if someone was reading a novel or something and the novel mentioned the word blind, the person who's reading the book just goes, "Oh OK, some body's blind." and just keeps going, but the author could have used a sentence like, "He was blinded with his frustration and anger." If that was the case that meant that the reader was wrong with the sentence he/she said. It truly helped understand literature a little better.
Now in the novel The Chosen I found the beginning of chapter two mind gripping. What I mean by this is that Danny has to go in the hospital and the pain in his eye is so painful it's shooting up and down his body. When I first started reading the chapter I immediately thought that he somehow got glass in his eye from his glasses. The one part that truly had me hooked was the sentence when he said, "How do they get it to change colors like that?" The truth is that the light wasn't changing color and to me that made me think that some thing was seriously wrong with him but I'm glad he did get better. It was truly a fascinating chapter.
