    Thomas C. Foster indicates in “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” that usually when a blind person shows up in a piece of literature, he can see into the spirit and divine world, and can see things that the hero of the story is unable to see. While I don’t believe love is spiritual, I do believe that it takes a special eye to see it. In “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green, Augustus’ best friend Isaac is losing his eyesight to cancer, and essentially going blind. Even though Isaac is losing his eyesight, he is still able to see and understand the complex relationship that Hazel and Augustus share with one another, and he can clearly see the enormous amounts of love that they have for each other just by being with them. I feel that Isaac…

    1. Memory, symbol and pattern affect the reading of literature by separating the professional reader from the rest of the crowd. Memory of what happened allows you to enjoy later scenes of a book of a movie, yet this does not necessarily improve the experience of popular entertainment. When reading you have to assume everything is a symbol until proven otherwise. Its good to think of things as existing as themselves while simultaneously also representing something else. Patterns are everywhere. While reading you take in detail yet also look at how the details have an underling pattern This means that you have to distance yourself from the story and look beyond the basic story.…
