Is there a Right way to Write????

Sorry this is a late post. I was in Oregon and away from a computer but I hope that you all find my blog fun and enjoyable as well as informative.:) While reading the essays I noticed two things... they were both valid points, but can people just start to agree with each other??? That would make life a whole lot easier for the rest of us!! (sarcasm!!!) Well anyways, I enjoyed the comment in the second essay, "But art, the art that matters, is not cement. It is mobile, complex, elusive, disturbing." this really stood out in my mind because this is what we have been taught for years. "Dig deeper into the meaning," "what does that represent," and so on. Teachers have been melting into our heads, in my opinion, the right way to analyze a text. But according to Will, one is just supposed to take the text at face value, without delving in or interpreting the novel on a more learned level. Literature, to most, is art. There is no one correct way to interpret it. if we all had the same thoughts on a matter, there would be no need for personal opinion. with no personal opinion, there is no individuality, with no individuality there is no person. We might as well all wear white overalls and have green hair like an oompa loompa! no one would be able to say, "those overalls look dumb" because everyone has them and there is no opinion. The same is true with literature, different interpretations lead to new discoveries about the hidden meaning in older novels, plays, etc. To be honest I could almost care less either way, i like oompa loompas. but if we want to progress as a society, we need different thougts and interpretations.
