First Post

My name is Krista and I am a student at Emmanuel College. I am currently taking an English class called Critical Theory and the Academy. On this blog, I hope to understand theories through my own writing, and hopefully get a few other people interested in what I have to say.
In my mind theory is necessary to understand the world around you. By looking at ideas and artifacts in different ways, your mind is opened up to many different aspects of human nature. Theories allow you to see something in someone else’s eyes and maybe in a way you would have never thought of. When one criticizes and theorizes about literature or the world around them, they are able to see things from either an objective view or a smaller lense than they would normally look through.
