Abstract

Reading can be characterized as a “conceptual process”, a tool for thinking and a problem solving process. As a reader, they try to discover what the author means while, at the same time, they build meaning for themselves. They use their own language, their own thoughts, and they own view of the world to interpret what the author has written. These interpretations are limited by what their known. When authors create, they project their language, their thoughts, and their meanings into producing text. Their creations are limited by what they know. Because of obvious differences between the language, thoughts, and authors’ meaning. Reading can never be an exact process. Because the reader’s own language and thought become involved through interaction with the language and thought of the author, readers can never be certain that they have discovered the meaning the authors’ write.
