Showcases the reader as critic, as the readers step out of the text to reflect on what it all means, how it works, and why. The readers examine the author's craft, the structure of the text and its various literary elements, and the choice of language in Alice Walker's "Revolutionary Petunias" and Langston Hughes's "Theme for English B". Dr. Langer reminds readers of the importance of personal evaluation of the text and encourages teachers of readers to include the techniques explored here in their classrooms
