Re-reading the See Through Words essay got me noticing things I didn’t notice before. I had to look up words that I didn’t know which helped a lot with understanding the text more. I also actually listen to the essay after I read it which also helped. The words that I looked up were divinest, diabolical, remark, synthetic, bristles, psycholinguistic, provocative. Of course there are other words that I didn’t know the meaning of but as I read the text I understood. It did make difference from reading the first time and from reading the second Time. There is somethings that I didn’t realize when I read it the first time, but after the second time I read it made more sense. Erard used a metaphor that say’s “ Vietnam to any disastrous military intervention”. At first I was like what is he talking about but then I remembered that Vietnam at one point in the history had a really bad war. Usually at bad disasteros people would say its another Vietnam. I did notice other things that I thought they were really cool, but it did make difference from my first read to my second read.
