Final
The two novels were a fantastic experience because I only saw the book through the psychoanalytic lens, this was different since I only used to read to find the main message of the story,but I never concentrated on something so specific. The experience I learned through reading from a certain perspective, was that there can be many ideas just from looking through a critical lens, but also you can make interpretations on why things are occurring in the book. If I would of real the book through one of the critical lens I would of seen Huck Finn as a normal immature kid just trying to escape, and the Milkman as a hopeless man finding a treasure he would never be able to find. Through my lens I was able to determine that the Milkman and Huck were both trying to pursue something, Huck was trying to pursue freedom from his guardians, who in part he felt were rough on him, and The milkman was trying to pursue his interest in the gold he couldn't find. Though there were some other things, like hucks friend being a minority and some of the challenges he has to faced during the slave era, and I think I might have missed this If I was just focusing on the psyconlytical lens. Though using just the psychoanalytic lens I was trying to determine the characters emotions and mental conflicts, and try to see how that played a role in their actions, or what was the reason behind their actions. Though the downside was that I didn't really look at all the characters I only focused on the main characters. The way we used the lenses did change my view of books, because now I can read a book and look at it through a critical lens instead of trying to figure out the theme of the story.
