The gist of chapter one in How to Read Literature Like a Professor was trying to imply that every story will have five parts included. The main character is on a jounrey and will encounter different situations along the way. Other characters and/or objects will intervene and the main character will have to conquer these characters and objects. Multiple different stories can relate to this chapter, and it is also relevant to life.
In chapter two, the author mainly wrote about communion. Communion is one word that can be used for countless situations. Communion can be between a group of people, or just a couple. It doesn't necessarily have to be holy. Most people would refer to communion as a holy situation. The author is taking this word and twisting it into a different meaning that most of us don't think of. In this chapter, communion is mostly sexual. It is almost the opposite of what we think of it to be.
Chapter three referred to vampires. Vampirism isn't only about vampires, but almost any character that is deep, dark, and out of the ordinary. This chapter wanted to portray the idea of people changing into something different, going through devil-like changes. I felt as if the author wanted to imply that everyone has a dark side at some point. A sketchy personality in which is similar to ghosts and vampires.
