adding to ways of reading response

I find writing to be important only because it is a means of communication, however writing is very lacking.  it, i  disagree is not an interaction. the written work is a one way and does not receive. making writing limited.  i find writing to be useful because i use it to retain ideas and thoughts, in such things as a diary and journals, a to documents thought as i've said.  but i don't like writing  because i have so many thoughts that while i write i get off track and my essay's and texts don't come out well.  

ways of reading response

sometimes the message of the book isn't what the author intends or something you expect completely unpredictable based on the fact that each reader is different.  i'm not sure what the author means by social interaction.   interaction means action from both both parties on each other but how does the reader affect the book for example.  The same kind of realizations happen to me when I watch movies sometimes.  It seems like everyone uses of kind of material to reference with when taking about heir past because in order to describe something to someone who was there needs some point of reference in order to interrupt precisely what is being said.  Rodriguez's reference point are ideas from Hoggart's book. (the scholarship boy).  I think that writing is a use of reference points to try and piece together a plausible literary piece.  And those reference points are what "strong readers" collect to use help make their then own frame of the piece.  That frame would hen have added to it the agenda of the readers.

Just a side note i'm not sure what the second batch of student sad to say about Rodriguez's statement.

I completely agree with the part about revision.  For example the things I had written down from yesterday are now what i want to say today in the blog.  i found that my reading ways not on point about what  the blog is about.  I now am reading to find a what a new way of reading is.  However before I was writing down every little thing i thought so i proceeded to condense it today.

I agree that every time I do something i get better at it in some extent.  This is why i think reading over the essay's helps people see more.  they aren't distracted by the things they already know.

I like how the author introduces a type a reading that students or most everyone is familiar. that type of reading is the summarizing digesting readings.  then the next type of reading for me is the hardest it seems because i don't think little a lot of people so i cant really anticipate a main idea consistently similar to other.

the thing about us thinking of ourselves as writing teachers went right over my head.  i have no clue about what they are trying to say and i have no agenda.  and i agree with the idea about how people can get in the way of themselves in analyzing something due to prejudice and habits.

I agree with the fact that the essay is meaningless if the reader just asks the experts what to think about it.  why even read it?     ""Read it as though it makes sense and perhaps it will"" I.A. Richards.  I flat out laughed when i read it and completely agree again because much of what i think doesn't make sense until i maybe ask someone about it and then they kind of see what i might be trying to say.   I like the idea of making the authors your equal and taking reading with an authority because i don't agree with what i read most of the time and so by taking it as just another person's opinion.  I loved the section on reading with the grain and reading against it.   I feel like i use the same kind of analysis when i think about say a hypothesis or new idea.  and i can see how reading completely one way or the other can solidify a better understanding of the text.   By catching the students off guard with difficult readings allows them to learn to read in different ways.

I don't understand the 'banking' concept of education.  i thought i might be the gathering of as much information as possible but i doesn't seem like it once i read the essay.  Freire's statement about students if confusing and long.  scaffolding ideas for better understanding of ideas and guiding oneself though a text using the words provided.  Using other people on the scaffolding can help you shape where your writing is lacking and where it is strong.  Writing assignments and questions after the readings give direction to the reader on what the author would like them to think about.
