Here are seven questions internal difference poses:
1. Can stories or poems made of shifting and indeterminate language communicate any fixed or intended meaning?
2. If they do, how do we determine what it is?
3. How does individual authorship or intention affect the making of meaning?
4. How do audience and readers' cultural expectations affect the making of meaning?
5. How does form affect content, and how do changes of form change the intended content?
6. If, on the other hand, the meaning of literary or cultural texts is indeterminate, subject to negotiation, or even non-existent, what is the cultural use or function of narrative?
7. How do literature, myth, story, or poetry work; how or what can they teach?
