LOST IN TRANSLATION


The impact writers words have to their audience doesn't always get the audience the way it was intended to. Words may have similar meanings in the English dictionary but the readers emotions may have swayed their interpretation of the writing. The readers may carry certain biased views in their mind due to the impact of the words that are connected to a feeling or an experience in the readers life. It is hard for some to reflect on the writing without taking a personal view on how the piece might relate to them. Therefore creating a paranoid affect that makes the reader feel as if it is a personal attack on the way they may view the world. Is this an emotional problem or should all writing be a reflection on how it relates to the reader. Why is it that so many people can read the same piece of writing but be left with completely different feelings being stirred. Is this an example of a pessimistic view over an optimistic view. The less stable the mind the more someone will view your writing as personal attack on them forcing the reader to prepp themselves for a counter attack without taking in consideration that the way the mind interprets everyday dilemas is different and what might work for some doesn't always work for another. So the only true solution is to ask the writers intention that way you wont assume the worst unless your a positive thinker who may look deep into the writing and realise that the words were not designed to hurt the reader they were put out as a way the writer could express his or her interpretation of the world.

  1. The author is responsible on how his words affect his readers ,he should choose his words carefully because what you say can impact others in a negative way
