The Reader Response (RR) approach helps the writer examine the emotional events that occur within them when they read. What one thinks the text means comes from the history of personal experiences, which act as a kind of emotional filter through which one perceives the text. When writing about your reactions to the text link it with a response vehicle. This is the time you can use “I” in your work.
Your RR must have textual evidence (p#).
Response vehicles:
Personal identification is the experience of seeing yourself in the text or the literary
character, often without knowing that we’re doing so. We feel that we understand how the character feels and what motivates his/her behavior because we believe that the character feels as we would feel.
The familiar character is when that seems familiar to us because that character
reminds us of someone we know: a friend, family member, spouse, former sweetheart, teacher, roommate, classmate, or anyone else we’ve known at any point in our lives. Perhaps it could be a physical resemblance; shares some personality trait with, or behaves like someone we know or used to know.
The familiar setting seems familiar because of its geographical location or its
physical appearance evokes memories of a place with which we associate to an important time in our lives.
Using these instructions write a response to each article. At least 200 words each.
