A piece of literature does not have one definite meaning, but rather, a variety of different understandings according to each person. What the reader wants the article to be is what it is. As the readers go through a story he/she makes connections according to his/her experiences, relationships, personalities, or imaginations. This whole theory of reading is called the Reader Response analysis. Three steps are involved in Reader Response. Step number one, is to find an interesting book to read. Step number two, is to be an active reader as you make connections between characters or situations. Step number three, take a while when you finished and have a conversation with the story telling it what you also been through (in your head). Remember, that in Readers Response the writer is not implying anything to you, but rather you are implying something to the story, which will help you see different things in the story. That is why it’s not called Writer’s Response.
