The Life Remains the Same
The fact that books can be experienced and perceived in so many different ways further supports that idea that literary works are indeed "living" organisms (in class during Dimock's visit we defined something as "living" if it relies on certain things to function). What would books be if they were so one-dimensional as to only produce one kind of response? What would they be if they were not supposed to be experienced in different ways/through different media so as to be up for interpretation, to produce more discussion? Literary works may be more similar to the people who read them than we think; they are just as diverse and inviting, just as questioning and beautiful. There are as many "literary kinds" as there are types of personalities and beliefs.
