To be completely honest, I did not notice much of a change in my interpretation of the text on the second read through. I was seeing things the same way and agreed with the same things I did the first time through. With that being said, I was able to dive deeper into my original analysis of the text. It made me realize more clearly that metaphors can be used effectively to help someone better understand an idea, but at the same time, they do not always work. People have to be able to understand all aspects of what you are trying to explain. If I try to make a joke and compare something to a Toyota Prius, which I do quite often because that car is a big joke to my friends and I, and someone does not know what a Prius is, they would have no idea what I am talking about. Therefor, they would not understand what I was trying to say in the first place because they will not be able to understand the metaphor.

One thing that did stick out to me though is the term Psycholinguistics. Psycholinguistics is the study of language and how people interpret language and react to it. Metaphors are a great way of exploring this. They can be seen from many angles, and often times do not only have one way of looking at it. Metaphors help people better understand the unknown and help people be able to break down language that they may not have understood beforehand.
