Constructing Meaning

I guess it is a good thing that I am interested in psychology because this chapter seem determined to focus on some pretty familiar psych 101 explanations of how and why people interpret information the way they do. Which is not bad I suppose. Although, I was ironically surprised about the fact that Mary actually included a section entitled 'Surprise'. It just seemed amusing when i came to it, especially after reading about stereotypes and cliches, because her explanation of what surprise was included the word surprise... Maybe I just get focus on the wrong things when i read books for school... Anyway, as always, the pictures helped. I like pictures in books =)
