I seemed to have learned a lot from the experience of reading both books and I was happy that I got to choose the lens that I chosed because of the perspective that I saw it from. I already had an idea of what I believed before these two books but I definitely felt that it helped my knowledge grow. The way these two novels were similar because we got to see the racism towards black people and what the white people felt about black people. The way I think was different was that in the novel of “ Song of Solomon” I felt gave us a better understanding of how black people felt. Some things I think I wouldn’t have gotten if I didn’t chose the lens I was focusing on was the idea that on Huckleberry Finn, possibly a lot of people felt the same way Mark Twain felt. I think the benefits of using a critical lens is that you get a new perspective on the story and could make you view things differently and could lead to a different bias compared to if you didn’t focus on a lens. The downsides could be that the new bias that was created could not be so positive. Another downside could be that you possibly may not get all the sides of the novel and just one because of the focus I had in one Lens. But in overall, my beliefs stayed the same just with some few additional ideas to keep in mind.
