The important thing in the reader response theory is the interpretive of the readers itself, rather than the author or even the text. The theory gives the competence to the reader to critic the text, however with the condition the readers have the evidence or research from other people toward the critic. The way of their interpretation may reveal their identity, because the reader gives the critic depends on their knowledge and experience (Philip Goldstein, 2005). Everyone has their own perspective toward anything, especially for the literary works. Each of people perspective is unique. That is why reader response was created. The theory is about the transaction between the writer and the reader. The writer composed a meaningful text, whereas the reader composed an interpreted meaning of the text. Reader response is not about destroying the writer’s idea, but it is more constructing the work itself (Louise M. Rosenblatt, 1988).

4) How did the work of established and recognised theatre practitioners, and/or the work of live theatre, influence the way in which your devised response developed?

Due to the nature of this assignment and for the purpose of reflection, as supported by Fulbrook (2003), I will adopt a narrative approach that conveys thoughts,

Literature is such a beautiful thing because it does not give us an answer to it's questions. There are so many iffy spots that leave us to develop our own thoughts and feelings toward the piece of work. This is an interesting factor because at many times it affects us in a different way and can develop us as an individual. When reading a piece of literature, one person can interpret it in different ways than another person reading the same piece of work. I remember analyzing poems with my English class in the previous years and when we were asked to interpret it, we all had different answers. Sometimes what I got out of the poem didn’t even go close to the direction that my classmate

First of all, Jeannette is a hard worker, unlike her parents. For example, she got a job at thirteen years old, and after working hard on her school’s newspaper junior year, she went to New York her senior year at a public high school that offers internships instead of classes.

This "back and forth" feeling of the essay is present non-stop, and it keeps the reader interested in the outcome of the discussion as well as the journey towards the outcome, filled with thought-provoking investigation.

These books look at each gender on an entirely different level of each other. The roles they fill are completely different. Socially they are held to different standards. I found this to be something that stuck out to me while reading this story. Women are looked at as property that switches from the fathers to the husbands in marriage. Likewise women seem to feel the need to have a man in their presence. These situations are throughout the story.

The world is thriving in a miscellaneous collection of well-known types of media that allow people to indulge in new societies, sophistications, and stories they have never known before. Correspondingly, there is an assortment of ways to analyze this media to further understand the reason behind having meaning in literature in addition to the recipients’ responses to these specific meanings. In particular, one method used to examine media, as well as its ongoing objective in both classic and contemporary society, is Kenneth Burke’s dramatic pentad. In response to evaluating narratives from divergent perspectives, the pentadic analysis is composed of five parts: agent, scene, act, agency, and purpose. For instance, by applying this analyzation technique to the 1991 Howard Zieff film My Girl it can be illustrated through which means these five elements create value in a fictional composition. Specifically, My Girl is primarily an agent-based film focusing on Vada's Sultenfuss' exploration of life through the means of death. However, Vada's circumstances of her mother's passing during childbirth and father's house-run funeral parlour creates a narrative focused on purpose by being the initial reason Vada has an obsession with demise and disease.

"Nowadays the plays' meaning is usually blurred by the fact that the actor plays to the audiences hearts. The figures portrayed are foisted on the audience and are falsified in the process. Contrary to present custom they ought to be presented quite coldly, classically and objectively. For they are not matter for empathy; they are there to be understood and politely added

In developing a critique for this book one would have to enlist the creativity that

My choice for consideration of this essay are Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Purloined Letter” and, Katherine Mansfield’s “The Garden Party”. In reading these works I enjoyed the beauty with witch the words flowed, because if often seemed like the writer was using poetry to present their story. The similes and metaphors brought the text to life, and I was able to picture myself alongside one of the characters. Even the use of onomatopoeias made my sense of sound participate in the reading. The diction with which the author chose to have his/her characters speak help me to establish a time period and setting in my mind. All of this helped to create a complete picture of what the writers were trying to convey within their works; however, it was the word choices that made me feel as though literature is not relevant to contemporary society.

The reader-response approach in literary criticism is where the author “finds a personal link or imaginative entry into a story, poem, or play” (Clugston, 2010). I believe that this approach would be the best type of

The above example illustrates not only how the theatrical performance affects the audience, but also how the audience influences its dynamics, development and the characters within it. The actors feel a certain level of acceptance from the viewer, who demands a certain way of depicting the character. Theatre is not just entertainment, itís something much more than that ñ itís education. Theatre should always represent things, rather than
