McMahan has many different and effective approaches for interpreting literature in the text “Appendix: Critical Approaches for Interpreting Literature”. Of these the most appealing to me is reader response. It appealed to me the most because I like hearing different interpretations of a common piece. It gives you a various outlooks on the same idea and broadens your understanding.
In the poem “The Lamb” written by William Blake, he is asking the lamb if he knows who created him and gave him his characteristics. William Blake is referring to Humanity as being the lamb, and the one who created us is God. In the Christian community, Jesus is called the Lamb of God. In the poem the author writes “for he calls himself a Lamb”. He shortly tells of the birth of Christ and how he came to earth as a little child.
