Emily brought up a question that I thought was important in class, regarding the Kauffman reading; “what are we supposed to go off of, if not our interactions with the world?”.

Though I agree with the concept that personal testimony should not be the be all end all of literary criticism, I also agree with the class consensus that we can’t separate ourselves from our criticism.

I think the three interpretations of the Keres Indian tale goes with that point. Though the reading came from a general point of views, if we are our social constructs, than these three point of views show how who we are and where we come from, strongly effect how we read.
