What is the most difficult literary work you've ever read? What made it so difficult?
The first book that stands out Is Old Man and the Sea. It stands out because when I read it in high school I had yet to grasp symbolism so it made no sense. Why would a man hold a fish all the way to shore?
My teacher was telling me and the class it was symbolic. Me being as out spoken as i am was telling her it still did not make any sense. As I am deaf and went to a deaf school the teacher tends to show a movie to help us understand better. I thought the movie was dumb too. After a week of explaining step by step the story behind the story so to speak I began to grasp what it was really about.
Once I understood it opened up a whole new world for me in terms of reading and enjoying books.
Next up on my list is Gravity’s Rainbow so am curious how that will go.
