Problem
John Berger's "Ways of Seeing" is an usual chapter excerpt because the main argument, or thesis of the chapter, isn't offered until the final paragraph of the text, wherein Berger says "A people or class which is cut off from its own past is far less free to choose and to act as a people or class than one that has been able to situate itself in history." The task here is to untangle what, specifically, the chapter is about, what the writer is trying to convey to his readership in light of the thesis in the final paragraph.
