knowledge of skill and technique. He says we never really know what we see,
we just accept is as it is. “We only see what we look at,”(p.68) and then
we react to whatever we see as it relates to ourselves. “To look is an act
of choice. As a result of this act, what we see is brought within our
reach...our vision is continually active, continually holding things in a
circle around itself, constituting what is present to us as we are.”(p.68)

... marriage him for that matter." (P.301)
The priest says, "Thou art named after a great man-and a great Father of the Church…It is in the books." (P.305) The priest visits Kino's home. He praises and honors him selfishly.

... which may make him appear devilish, but it is only because he was taken hostage by Indians. In actuality Roger Chillingworth is a great scholar, so great in fact that he is described as “someone who had so cultivated his mental part that it could not fail to mould the physical to itself”. Roger had a furrowed visage, and his eyes were dim and blurred from reading to many books under lamplight. Roger Chillingworth was an older man and was mildly deformed, “It was sufficiently evident to Hester Prynne that one of this man’s shoulder rose higher than the other." This deformity m ...
