How to Read Literature Like a Professor chapt 7-9

All three of these chapters make references to different types of literature and genres. Chapter seven discussed the Bible. Most people are familiar with this book. Therefore making connections to other media is an easy task. Also, each biblical story includes symbolization and words that we can instantly relate to the Bible.
Chapter eight discusses fairy tales. Most fairy tales also include similar patterns and symbols that people are familiar with. This chapter brought Disney movies to my head. Almost everyone has seen at least a few Disney movies, and they all have comparable plots.
In chapter nine, the author is writing about Greek mythology. Each of the myths that the author refers to are closely related. They include a main character overcoming a challenge or obstacle.

In conclusion, each of these chapters include different books and stories that contain coincidental plots. People are also accustomed with these genres.
