Biblical References
Recently we have been reading many works with biblical references. Quite frankly I don't like them at all. They can be confusing and sometimes misinterpreted. I think some of the authors research too much and find in depth details that people don't catch on to. While reading, I personally am not thinking and connecting all these references the bible. For example Metamorphasis has a strong biblical referance but i didnt notice it untill Kunkle pointed it out. I mean the number 3 or something, Who Cares. Another is in the gospel according to mark. The author tried to hard to make it into a biblical reference. He had to sneek in all the names from the bible and other events. So in the future I do not plan on thinking about biblical references while i am reading.

I agree, it is very hard to find many of the references in the works that we have been reading. I did not see the symbolism of Gregor to Jesus until we started talking about it in class. However, no one will see everything that everyone else sees as they read and the discussing in class helps us to try and find out what the author is reading and I think that this is important so that by hearing what other people interpret and seeing the evidence that they use to support it, you can form your own oppinion about what the author is trying to say.
