Ways of Seeing and Coming to Terms

After reading these two texts for this class I found myself thinking a lot about the way people perceive different things. In one of my other classes we are talking about race and how there is no biological proof that race exists and that it is only a social construction. I relate this to the fact that race is basically a perception of one person seeing the different color of skin on another person. The way that we see pictures, art, and literature differs from person to person and this is what makes the world unique. I am interested to learn how others in class 'saw' the texts and how their perception of it differs or is similar to my own.
