The woman sees in a bird something pretty and "cunning." The hunter sees in it something to kill.

A thief sees a jail as something to be dreaded; an ordinary citizen, something useful for confining objectionable people a policeman, something in the line of his business. And so .on, the apperception differing upon the previous experience of the individual. In the same way the scientist sees in an animal or rock many qualities of which the ordinary person is ignorant. Our training, experience, prejudices, etc., affect our apperception.
