After reading the first excerpt from the John Berger’s essay from Ways of Seeing I developed the opinion that Berger liked the use of sight over the use of words. He pointed out instances where words are inferior to seeing in multiple situations. When he talks about the sun setting and how knowledge and explanation can’t fit the sight he also uses the example of love. The first excerpt also led me to believe that the whole essay would be comparing words and sight and try to explain why the language was just behind the sight. My second take on it was that he would go into how sight was interpreted differently for everyone because he talked about how a person’s background effected what they saw, but instead he starts to go into how art captures the moment in time better than literature because it gives a better feel for the surroundings.
