One subject that hooks touched on in this chapter is the gap or split between theory and practice. This is something that I notice as well, not only in my life, but in the talk of theory as a whole. Until you have a theory class, most people don’t understand how to read it at all. I know I didn’t, and I was terrified of reading theory because of the fear of not understanding it. Theory is almost like a big scary, wordy monster that most people fear because they don’t know how to attack it. Most theory is written very scholarly. By that I mean the writers use big words and kind of confusing sentences that most people don’t want to pick up and read just for fun. If theory can be made a little easier to understand by the general public that gap\/split may be made smaller and more people will be able to grasp the powerful topic that theorists, such as hooks, write about. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
