Reading Umberto Eco’s “Role of the Reader” in college, Ricky states that, “The reader completes the text, that the text is never finished until it meets this voracious and engaged reader.” Although there are critics who believe there is a right and a wrong way to ready books, Moody says, “I believe there is not now and never will be an authority who can tell me how to interpret, how to read, how to find the pearl of literary meaning in all cases.” Part 2. Response I really enjoyed reading this article about how the author really has a passion and understanding for reading. This is probably the most in depth piece of writing I have read about the philosophy of reading. Ricky Moody uses very educated language and supports his claims with quotes from well-known people, one being Nietzsche. He ends his essay with a strong quote that uses personification, “I believe in the freedom to see literature, history, truth unfolding ahead of me like a book whose spine has just now been cracked.” With this quote said, it is very apparent that the author has a passion for reading.
As a result, why would Levi commit suicide after everything he had previously been through? Was there nothing more for him to live for? Levi was without children or a wife to visit him and had previously completed a book. Therefore, maybe he planned his suicide ahead of time because he was tired of living alone with the memories of the Holocaust, and no one to tell them to. Or maybe Levi just thought that his life was complete and felt that he no longer had a purpose or reason to live.
In ‘The Remains of The Day’, Stevens stresses to the reader that his desire to meet with Miss Kenton lies entirely with ‘professional matters’ meaning his feelings for her are unintentionally suggested to the reader, even in the first few pages of the book. Throughout the novel, Stevens makes only one direct reference regarding his true feelings for Miss Kenton despite the fact we are aware of them from early on in the novel, making it apparent that Stevens ‘Supresses and evades the truth about himself and others. At the end of novel after Miss Kenton confesses that there are ‘desolate occasions’ in which she thinks about ‘a different life, a better life [she] might have had’ with Stevens, he reveals that ‘at that moment [his] heart was breaking’. The importance of this moment in the tale is it is the only point at which Stevens describes raw emotion to the reader and finally consciously reveals his love for Miss Kenton. For the greater part of the novel he gives an overly detailed account of events but often fails to convey his honest opinion of them to the reader.
While Wilson is on his way to see Mr. Carson, we learn that he is very hungry and hasn’t eaten in days. He says that if the other servants would have known that, they would have generously given him an abundant amount of food. He also tells the reader that like him, the servants’ hunger and cravings have turned into a numb “sickness”. Gaskell is not being objective nor trying to make fun of the way society was at that time. She is

This preparation did not prepare me for the previous two days. People I barely knew were asking me about my letter. I tried to pacify the meaning and not give a straightforward answer, however, I remembered Hester’s strength and courage within the novel, the Scarlet letter. In comparison, I began telling those who asked with a new sense of confidence. With every, “What does ‘J’ stand for?” I would reply assertively, “’J’ is for jealously.” However, being asked what the letter indicated was not the worst part.
The story starts with exposition which precedes the introduction but neither of those don't tell us anything about the main point. The author is presented as an observer of everything that had happened. He seems to know everything but he doesn't tell us anything about the main point of the story. He lets us guess it. In the beginning when reading the story we have no clue about what is going to happen next, in fact we get to know about the ^^ ^ ^y problem of this story only in the very middle of the text, even little bit later.
Inspiration can be drawn from a variety of sources, in the first paragraph we see the writer struggle to identify content that would be of interest to the reader, implying that he was trying to connect to reader so that “we are both comforted by the honesty” hoping to drawn on real-life memories for inspiration. He then reflects on how his childhood has not proven to be a source of inspiration as his memories have been incidental and fleeting, with only snippets of moments from days
