In Chapter 24 of How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas Foster claims that in order to understand the meaning of a work, the reader must read and analyze the text from the perspective from which it was written. In the first section of Chapter 24 Foster states that readers, in order to fully enjoy a piece of text must not take the information presented the way it was intended. Similarly readers may miss key points of what the author is attempting to say if they analyze the text with only today's culture in mind.

In How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas C. Foster discusses various literary themes to help the reader more thoroughly understand and analyze pieces of literature. Foster references several literary works to demonstrate the depth added from the implication of the concepts. He writes that many authors use the same tools to shape their writing, therefore “Literature … grows out of other literature”(Foster 24). He also elaborates upon how the context changes the notion the reader receives from a device, such as with different weather or the mood when sharing food. Common literary themes, such as communion and weather, can be applied to “The Interlopers” and “The Scarlet Ibis” to further understand the meaning of these devices within the context of the stories.
Believe it or not, the Constitution was not America 's first form of government. Our country started out with the Articles of Confederation, which were...shall we say... less than perfect. They gave the states much more power than the central government, due to a pervasive fear of strong central governments. This fear stemmed from the reign of the tyrannical King George III, and the founding fathers did not want to give their country the ability to establish another monarchy. In the Articles of Confederation, the central government had no power to tax, regulate trade or commerce, enforce laws, settle disputes between states.

The stories presented in the reading represent not only an idea of deliverance to the people that read the stories at the time of or shortly after the time of writing, but have relevance to people everyone and everywhere.

In literary works, the historical context gives the reader a better understanding of the conditions set during that time period. With historical context, the reader learns about the lifestyle during the time period and, in addition, learning about how people felt and thought during the experience. Historical context aids in showing not only the facts and events that occurred in the literary work but also the preconceived notions that were believed. From this, literary works will tell the reader the taboo and the prejudice that were prevalent and how those living in that time period dealt with the issues.

This week's reading was about understanding the context and meaning of a given text. Who has control of the meaning of a text?

Here and there finding out about our history through the eyes of various characters can be agitating or even agonizing, yet it additionally can be an enlivening to the obscure. Diversity in literature is also important because it has some influence on how different people are seen or not by some other cultures according to literature. When analyzing literary works, we must first see the structure of the work such as plot, which is the way that the author arranges the ideas or incidents that have place in the story.
