Reader Response Essay

Reader Response for The Kite Runner Section 1- Writing Style: Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner, is most definitely different than other authors. He uses strong, detailed words that may be difficult, at some points, to understand. His use of vocabulary is rather challenging for me. The more use of challenging vocabulary, in my opinion, makes the book even more interesting. Now, I’m not a big fan of reading, but after reading this book, I had found an interest in reading more challenging

A Reader Response to The Lie     Pleasing people and the pressure that comes with it.  This is a major factor in one's everyday life. Eli Remenzel, however, has been caught in the middle of just one of the many lies he will ever tell. It just happens to be that this lie was one that would make a lot of people disappointed.

Reader Response: 1984 The novel 1984 made me paranoid and suspicious of the government's power and intentions. I became aware of the potential manipulation of which the government could impose upon us. The very thing which I depend on for security and protection may be a conniving entity which feeds off of it’s own power and corruption. As I flourished in my naivety, I was unaware that the people I trusted, whom I believed to be wholly dedicated to our well-being as a society, could betray

I am confronting you about a book that my 7th grade son, Micah White, brought home from school on October 10, 2016. The book is titled The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. This book is about the Vietnam war. It talks about what the men brought with them into the war, and then ultimately what they bring back home in their minds. Now I am not sure if you have read this book before, but I was shocked by what my son was talking about that was in the book. There is such foul language, violence and

“Write about something that will appeal to the Readers’ emotions.” Who knew that those words would not only confuse me, but they would lead to candid concise clarity. These words were spoken by my English Teacher my sophomore year of High School, yet she was so much more than just my school teacher. She believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself. As a little girl, I was forced to grow up way before my time. I never had the ability to forgive and let go. I was suffocated with the memories

In part 4: literature-critical study, we have been reading The Things They Carry by Tim O’Brien. The form of my Written Task one is Letters and this form is the best type text to use to express my understanding because I can tell a story about my character’s experience in the war and how he felt about the war.

In The Yellow Wallpaper there are two details that seem irrelevant that turn out to be relevant after reading the story. In the beginning of the story the narrator talks about her room with the bars on the windows and the wallpaper torn off the walls from the children who lived in the house before.

periods. After getting in touch with each popular theory, Reader-Response Theory, in the personal opinion, has become one of the commonest theories since it only considers the personal experience of the readers and how it connects to the work; the readers would receive different messages and come up with their personal thoughts and comments toward what they read, see or watch. Different from African American Theory or LGBTQ Theory, Reader-Response Theory does not have a limitation on the subject position

Wheat. One could infer from this quote that some writers write not just for the enjoyment derived from it, but rather out of a feeling of obligation to let readers hear what they may have to say. Ngugi’s message that he feels obligated to convey is delivered, however, he uses a very unusual writing technique to arrive there. He wants the readers to understand the pain, suffering, and confusion that took place during the Emergency. Through jumbled chronological order, numerous character and point
