    Each and every person conceptualizes reading in a different way. In their article “Rhetorical Reading Strategies and the Construction of Meaning” Christina Haas and Linda Flower examine the different ways readers, mainly students, read a text and break it down for post read analysis. They believe that every student finds different meaning in every text they read as they show when they state, “There is a growing consensus in our field that reading should be thought of as a constructive rather than as a receptive process: that “meaning” does not exist in a text but in readers and the representations they build” (167). This shows that they do not share the same ideas about reading that many K-12 institutions throughout the united states do considering…

At face value, a story is a thread of plot points or events or happenings; anyone with the simple abilities of reading and remembering can follow a story from its first page to its last, but this mere action, to follow a story, draws no merit, for the true labour in reading literature lies in understanding the meaning beneath each word. One skeptical advocate may suppose that there exists no ulterior meaning to the events that unfold in a body of literature; Thomas C. Foster in his book, How to Read Literature like a Professor, argues on the contrary. Writers of literature carefully and intelligently compose their work with the sole purpose to weave layers upon layers…

Ultimately this reflects my major thoughts about literature, and how my journey consists of fallouts, but like a flower this concept of ‘death’ holds no barriers. The emphasis of starting anew builds upon why reading is important to me as I am rooted in the pages and always trying to expand myself.…

Wells’ The Time Machine.…
