My beliefs affect how i read and interpret a novel because i immediatley begin to judge the ideas of the author and the actions of the characters. These judgements can serve to help me interpret the novel but they can also limit my mind to only seeing or understanding certain ideas in the book. When i am presented with an idea or a concept i instinctively compare it to what i believe to see if it makes sense.
Now thats all negative and it pertains to most people. I try and look at the book and the cahracters with open eyes and an open minded perspective. This allows me to see things that i wuoldn't normaly and respect the ideas behind every piece of the literature. Someone once said that "a mind is like a parachute, its only funtional when it is open." I try and think that way as much as possible and not let pre judgement cloude my thoughts at all.
