Foster says that many people skim the text not getting the true meaning or they go so in depth that the whole story is not what it used to be. Sometimes a meal is just a meal no allusion to look into its a gathering of friends. People are eating and drinking together its a communion but it doesn't have to be a holy one . Breaking the bread at a dinner can be a sign of peace among the gathered like friends or if you are trying to get of the good side of your enemies... maybe your boss. Fosters example of a communion is a husband and wife with a blind dinner guest. This perplexing the husband and he looks at the man with sustain. The husband is even rude enough to stop and think about holding the man's hand for pray. Throughout the dinner the husbands view changes , he watches a man with an disability overcome it and eat like anyone with sight would. As a sign of peace they share a joint showing that a single dinner can change one opinions. Foster wants his readers to be able to interpret whether a scene is just a dinner or if its meaning will impact the character to make a life altering decisions. Not all meals mean something but those that do need attention to fine details.
