Nathan Bloom - Outside Reading #2

I an thou by Martin Buber was an interesting piece and I found it difficult to understand. I guess if you read it a few times you can get the hang of it, the relation between I and you and how we help each other but with I and It the It can do nothing because I experience it. I would have liked to interview Martin Buber and ask him to better explain his philosophies in lamens terms. Have him cut through all the fancy language and tell me what he thought. It seems like a poem or song(although I guess some songs are just poems that are put to music) that we cannot truly know what the author meant when he wrote it. We can interpret it and dissect it and try our best to understand it. But when it comes down to it no person knows the true meaning and what was conveyed in the passage except the author. This is why i tend to dislike English classes because professors will give us their interpretation of a poem or grade us wrong for our interpretion when in fact no one knows what the long since dead author meant.
