Take this fish and look at it

I think that what Samuel Scudder’s point that he was trying to convey was that you should always try to truly observe an object. I think it is kind of like the saying, “looking without seeing”. Because sometimes we as people look at something and then five minutes later we couldn’t tell you anything about it except what color it was and how big it was. Not until you truly look closely at the object will you be able to notice the deeper more intricate detail of it. When Scudder drew the fish he had to look at the not so obvious details in order to perfect his fish, and when he did so he finally saw what the professor was asking him about. I found this is relatable to movies, when I see a movie for the first time I am too involved in the actual plotline to notice the other details in the movie, however when I watch a movie for the second time I see little things that I hadn’t seen the first time through. I think that what his professor taught him was a valuable lesson that everybody should learn, because too many times we just glance over something and not take anything in, or just judge something before we get to truly look at it.
