What is the significance of a single text having many meanings?
I think that everyone can interpret things differently and there’s no “right answer” to a text. I think that people can pick up pieces in a text and signify with it perhaps from experiences, that’s why they have a different look towards it. However someone who hasn’t experienced it might have a different look towards it because they don’t understand what it is like to go through it. I think that the different meanings could help different people relate to the text and understand the piece better.
Why is it significant that the flag has no one, fixed meaning?
The flag can signify different things to everyone however even to the people who live in that country for example America, the flag can have different meanings and I think that is important as not many things have a fixed meaning. People have different perspectives on a lot of things. As well as more people can resonate with the flags if there is more than meaning behind it. I think more people might identify with the country if it did have a lot of meanings behind it. Some of the different meanings might be bad as well, to what people who don’t live in the country, like America, might see a meaning behind it that American people can’t see or choose to ignore.
If texts have multiple meanings, what is the significance for reading literature and other written texts?
I think that reading different texts and literature can help someone find something to relate to and i think the interpretation of different meanings help with that, as if there was a fixed meaning, perhaps less people could identify and relate to the texts. Since people have different perspectives on things, some may find it hard to understand the piece of text so I think it is significant that texts have different meanings in them.
