How to Read Literature Like a Professor chapters 12-14

Chapter 12 -- Symbols usually contain multiple meanings. If it can be simplified down to just one meaning, then it is allegory. Objects, characters, actions, and feelings are all different types of symbolic elements.

Chapter 13 -- The best writers are those that are concerned about all of the problems that our society contains. Some issues include racism, rights, and interaction between the different sexes.

Chapter 14-- Different elements can help identify a Christ figure. Some of these identifiers include 33 years of age, employed as a carpenter, believed to have walked on water, and multiple more. Christ figures won't contain all of these characteristics, but can relate to many.
