This concept is about how we react when we encounter a strange or difficult piece of literature. We may understand the words, but not necessarily the meaning or the appropriate response. It's like a weather report presented as a poem - we know how to listen to a weather report, but we're unsure about interpreting a poem.
Real-world Example: Imagine you're used to ordering a pizza using a mobile app. One day, the pizza place asks you to place your order through a poem. You're not sure how to respond - do you rhyme "pepperoni" with "macaroni," or take a more abstract approach? You know how to order a pizza, but not necessarily through a poem.
Each type of text requires a different mode of response. For instance, an advertisement may stir emotions, but it's also trying to sell a product. Literature, however, asks us to consider broader meanings.
Real-world Example: Imagine you're watching a heart-touching commercial about a lost puppy. You're moved by the story, but you're also aware that they're promoting a pet tracking device. If you're reading a poem about a lost puppy, instead of considering a product, you might ponder themes of loss, loneliness, and hope.
The term refers to texts that are different or unexpected. These can be challenging but offer a fresh perspective. They also prompt us to consider our relationship with unpredictable elements, like the weather or the wild.
Real-world Example: Imagine a menu at a restaurant described like a thriller novel, complete with suspense and plot twists. It's not what you'd typically expect, but it might make you reconsider the way you view food and dining experiences.
