Pretext 1

I found this reading interesting because it talked about how everything is made of something smaller. Everything seems to help make something bigger. This can be applied to life. Everything we do is part of something bigger and helps us do something us, maybe something bigger or smaller. I have gone and tried to read a book like she has mentioned she did, taking everything and breaking it down to the smallest it can possibly be. IT was hard, the lines that made of the letters didn't make any sense, and even the letters by themselves doesn't make any sense at all. We all know letters and associate them with certain words or meanings, but when I wanted to get the meaning behind the sentence, it was all gibberish.

I like how she says that if the context is missing, then we can't fully understand the pretext and text. Trying to read a book without knowing everything about it is hard to do. I understand now what goes into, not only a book, but everything. If we are missing one thing then we can't fully understand it. If we miss the first 10 minutes of movie, when all the mishap is revealed along with all the background and characters, then we are lost until we try to watch it again. I have tried to apply this to life and have tried to not miss anything, so I can try to fully understand everything.
