Response: In todays discussion we talked about how Walker Percy said something along the lines of, looking is like sucking and the more lookers there are the less we will see. We discussed how if more people were to see something the less value that something would have and the less it will be appreciated. The person who first discovers something will have a different view on it then everyone who sees it after them. The first person who sees something gets to interpret it in their own way. Everyone else who sees it after, has an image already in their head of its supposed to look like and be like. The first time something is discovered it is like the raw reaction to it. After that, that something gets associated with things and your kind of forced to view it just like everyone else does.
