In <em>The Cay</em> the main characters survive after their ship is sunk by a torpedo during Worl War II.It seems ironic but this war in which racism is taken to a point where a leader has the power to erase jews from the face of Europe, also deals with the topics of prejudice and discrimination.Philip, a school boy brought up with some racist ideas, ends up on a raft with a black West Indian man called Timothy and a cat.From the beginning, while on the raft Philip considers that Timothy has made all the wrong decisions and does not like the fact that his existance depends on a man that is not white and who speaks with a weird accent.What makes things worse, is that as a consequence of the accident Philip is now blind.Nevetheless,with the passing of the time Philip, who has questioned all Timothy´s ideas to help the survival of the  three of them, gets fond of Timothy  .Once , when they are on an island, there is a strong storm during which Timothy protects Philip with his life.Unfortunately, he  dies as a result of being badly cut.Philip is able to see that Timothy cares for him and the cat and has given his life to shield him.He learns that all the preconceptions he once held are unreasonable.As a conclusion ,The Clay is mostly about relationships .This is shown by  how a person can change for the better by comprehending what it is to have a friend who gives his life to save a man he cares about.

Explanation:

Perception  is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the presented information or environment.

All perception involves signals that go through the nervous system, which in turn result from physical or chemical stimulation of the sensory system. For example, vision involves light striking the retina of the eye; smell is mediated by odor molecules; and hearing involves pressure waves.

Perception is not only the passive receipt of these signals, but it's also shaped by the recipient's learning, memory, expectation, and attention. Sensory input is a process that transforms this low-level information to higher-level information . Sensory neuroscience studies the neural mechanisms underlying perception. Perceptual systems can also be studied computationally, in terms of the information they process. Perceptual issues in philosophy include the extent to which sensory qualities such as sound, smell or color exist in objective reality rather than in the mind of the perceiver.

"Percept" is also a term used by Deleuze and Guattari to define perception independent from perceivers.

Process and terminology  

The process of perception begins with an object in the real world, known as the distal stimulus or distal object. By means of light, sound, or another physical process, the object stimulates the body's sensory organs. These sensory organs transform the input energy into neural activity—a process called transduction. This raw pattern of neural activity is called the proximal stimulus. The image of the shoe reconstructed by the brain of the person is the percept. Another example could be a ringing telephone. The ringing of the phone is the distal stimulus. The sound stimulating a person's auditory receptors is the proximal stimulus. The brain's interpretation of this as the "ringing of a telephone" is the percept.

The different kinds of sensation  are called sensory modalities or stimulus modalities.

Bruner's model of the perceptual process    

Psychologist Jerome Bruner developed a model of perception, in which people put "together the information contained in" a target and a situation to form "perceptions of ourselves and others based on social categories." This model is composed of three states:

# When we encounter an unfamiliar target, we are very open to the informational cues contained in the target and the situation surrounding it.

# The first stage doesn't give us enough information on which to base perceptions of the target, so we will actively seek out cues to resolve this ambiguity. Gradually, we collect some familiar cues that enable us to make a rough categorization of the target.

# The cues become less open and selective. We try to search for more cues that confirm the categorization of the target. We also actively ignore and even distort cues that violate our initial perceptions. Our perception becomes more selective and we finally paint a consistent picture of the target.

Saks and John's three components to perception    

According to Alan Saks and Gary Johns, there are three components to perception:

#The Perceiver: a person whose awareness is focused on the stimulus, and thus begins to perceive it. There are many factors that may influence the perceptions of the perceiver, while the three major ones include  motivational state,  emotional state, and  experience. All of these factors, especially the first two, greatly contribute to how the person perceives a situation.
