Throughout the first part of the reading (pages 3-23) the narrator talks about how ever since he was a little boy, he would read anything and everything. From newspapers and books to the fine print on the back of cereal boxes and train tickets. Later on in his story, he talks about how one of his friends asked him to read to him due to the fact that his mother could no longer do it. The narrator then goes on to say "...Reading out loud to him texts that I had read before on my own modified those earlier solitary readings, widened and suffused my memory of them, made me perceive what I had not perceived at the time but seemed to recall now, triggered by his response (19)." I think this particular passage is significant because when I read something multiple times, I too find different meanings that I had not noticed before. This does not only goes for books, but movies as well. I feel that everyone can read something once and enjoy it. But in order to get to the real "nitty-gritty" of the whole text, you have to read it a second, maybe even a third and fourth time.
