Misunderstandings
Using your story and poetry reading strategies, this week you’ve read two short stories and a poem; and also, you’ve read a non-fiction text discussing what you might call the psychology of knowing other people: it discusses how much we think we know about other people, how little we believe other people know us, and how wrong we can be on both counts.
Your task:
Pick one of the following questions, and discuss it with reference to at least two of this week’s readings.
When we get people completely wrong, have they deceived us – or have they allowed us to deceive ourselves?
Discuss how language can deceive as well as communicate.
Can silence be as deceptive as speech?
