Reader

possible that The Reader which is a romance, is an extremely sick, and twisted love story? The Reader is about a fifteen-year-old boy who falls in love with a thirty-six-year-old woman, and vice versa. What the main idea of the book and movie is about is up for debate. An argument can be made that the story is more about the negative impact of illiteracy on someone’s life, than it’s about a romantic love story, and it wouldn’t be a false notion. In the broad scheme of things, The Reader is more…

Looking back at being a buddy reader for an entire school year, I truly enjoyed it and am happy that I decided to be a buddy reader. The students I’ve read to all had different personalities and quirks. Some were quiet and attentive to the story, some would make comments as I read, and others wouldn’t pay attention. It taught me that despite the fact that all the students have a disability, they’re all still different and their disability affects them in different ways. It’s never right to make…

After accomplishing my individual case study, I realized that it has helped me have a great understanding of a struggling reader psychology. I have noticed that there are many factors that interfere with the child’s reading ability that is not solely based on his/her intelligence. If a child is struggling in reading, I need to take into consideration what factors may be affecting the child. For example, I should be aware that if there are any medical conditions/disabilities that may be affecting…

In Tim Parks’ “Why Readers Disagree”, Parks argues that great art helps the audience to pay tributes to their old perspective. Parks mentioned the theory of “system theorists see people as constantly taking the position developed within the family into the larger world” in his essay, and he agreed with it. This theory highlights how people take their positions developed over time within smaller communities into the greater ones. This action is what caused the difference between people’s…

In Using Reader-Response Theory in the Introductory Literature Classroom, Anderson adopts the pedagogical principle: Reader Response, also known as the rhetorical approach to literature to incorporate literary theory into the classrooms. As Louise Rosenblatt points out, in order to produce meaning, the reader and the text should work together by engaging in a transaction, each influencing the other in the creation of meaning (Rosenblatt, p.29). For this, every reader is assumed to employ his…

Bernhard Schlink is able to create a tense and dynamic situation which pushes the readers to think about how we approach the exploration of right and wrong and also express his own opinions on how unreliable the law system can be. The line that separates right and wrong and the line between Hanna’s exploration of her guilt and her morals are blurred so that they no longer resemble black and white issues. In The Reader, author Bernhard Schlink uses Hanna Schmitz’s illiteracy to present the…
