Interpretation

Interpretation
Definition: The way one takes, sees, or percieves a piece of literature. For example, this can apply to finding the theme of a poem or story; everyone can see it differently.

Example: (The last line of "If")
"And-- which is more-- you'll be a Man, my son!"
This can be taken as misogynistic, which means he only belives in the male gender. He could also be referring to all of mankind.

Significance: This absolutely relates to any way you communicate in life. Everyone has a different interpretation of something. When you have your own opinion on the way you percieve something and see the ways others do, you can expand your mind to more ideas.
