#whosright

Who's right? That is a question I often ask myself. When I"m sitting in literature class, and my teacher asks me what I thought a story meant. I answer honestly, and I tell her what I thought it meant. Sometimes she doesn't agree with my answer. However, she doesn't say that I wasn't right. She continues to ask the rest of my classmates the same question until she finds the answer she is looking for.

When I think of this situation....I remember a movie I once watched called Finding Forrester. The film is about a young black man who is receiving a scholarship to play college basketball. However, he is also extremely talented at writing. Yet, he keeps this secret because it does not fit with his appearance. Then one day he meets a man named Forrester. Forrester gives him advice for his writing. Forrester is actually a famous author that disappeared to escape the lime light. The young black man later learns what Forrester intended by his famous writings. He also learns what his Professor proclaims what he believes Forrester's writings mean. The two interpretations were completely different.
