Rosenblatt writes about &#8220;reader-response theory,&#8221; which suggests a reader-centered approach to interpreting a text. Rather than the student passively absorbing information from a text, reader-response theory represents the student as having a more active role in the reading process. The student&#8217;s experiences and preconceptions she brings while she reads a text are equally as important to the eventual interpretation as the content of the text itself. This rejection of a unidirectional model of reading resembles Freire&#8217;s rejection of the authoritative teacher-student relationship. She writes, &#8220;Reading is a transaction, a two-way process&#8230;&#8221; (268). Likewise, Freire supports a more reciprocal relationship between students and teachers, in which the teacher &#8220;is himself taught in dialogue with the students, who in turn while being taught also teach&#8221; (4).  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In her article, &#8220;The Literary Transaction: Evocation and Response,&#8221; Louise M.
