Mia 's barrier to critical thinking is 4.<em>thinking that she is too smart</em>. She thinks herself to be that smart because of her intelligence performance- IQ- ; she has been evaluated with a much higher grade -145- than the average. As a consequence, she cannot understand - <em>she gets upset</em> - why she is asked to give an answer to her classmates' different or opposing ideas. She mistakes critical debates for questioning her intelligence; she thinks her 145 IQ is synonymous with the absolute truth.

That novel is a parody of a knighthood which was long forgotten. Don Quixote reads chivalric books instead of being the knight himself. He becomes sort of mad - he sees dragons and enemies where there are only windmills. He thinks his love Dulcinea will never age and will forever wait for him - whereas in reality she is just a normal peasant who doesn't even know him. The values of knighthood are mocked in this novel, and that is what makes it a parody.
