X essentially is a variable representing a 25c piece, a quarter. The quarter represents different things to each individual, whether its simply money used for purchasing or something representative to our nations pride. It could even be something completely abstract to the individual. In the most simply sentence imaginable x is whatever you want it to be. |

Whatever you want?
I think my final conclusion on X was also that it is "whatever you want it to be." That has to bring up the question: What is it intended to mean? and how does its intention and our interpretation correlate? This can be crucial to literature because authors usually have a point, so is it our goal to discover their point, discover our point, both, neither, or something in between?
