What Authors Mean

[Trinity, PNH Lovers Tech Support & Group creator]

You always have interpretations of what an author SAYS and what they MEAN. So... I'm starting this thread to get your opinions.

Take a quote/line/caption from any book/etc and post it here. Include YOUR impression of what the author means, and then what you THINK the author probably REALLY meant! LOL

The 'deeper meaning' was a phrase I cringed to hear in school. It was a guaranteed journey into the absurd. Sometimes it started out sensibly, but most teachers just seemed to take it way too far, as your picture points out so well.

I had a teacher with the whole "deeper meaning" carp. She drove me nuts. Sometimes a rock is just a rock.

I love the idea of this thread. Sometimes the curtains are just blue. I just finished reading and watching "The Grey". Wonderful Liam Neeson action film, bareknuckle boxing some freakishly large wolves. It ended too quick so I had to have the book as soon as I found out there was one. I read it quick, stumbling over the sometimes difficult writing style, but loving the pace. What didn't I love? How the conflict between the Ottway and the wolves is symbolic of the jacked up relationship he had with his father!



I still liked the book, although in this case, I liked the movie better. Bookie Blasphemy, I know but sometimes the curtains are blue for the sake of being blue and the wolves need to stay wolves!
