"Ways of Seeing"/"Coming to Terms"

In Chapter 1 of Joseph Harris’ book, he talks about how we read a text just the way the writer wrote it. Some people will read the text and not understand what they just read. Personally when I read, I read the text and then if I didn’t understand it I will re-read the text. Several people involuntary read just the text and not understand it but say they read it. The other reading we had to read was, “Ways of seeing.” The author talked about how art has changed over time. Art is changing the way society used to be and the future of it. Berger talks about how we interpret things and how it’s different from other people. This was a lot like what we read last week and how the development of reproduction and how that has changed the way everyone sees art. Everyone sees and interprets art in different ways.
