Response Journal

To The Student
Although we may read a novel, play, or work of non-fiction for enjoyment, each time we read one, we are building and practicing important basic reading skills. In our ever-more complex society, in which reading has become more and more crucial for success, this, in itself, is an important reason to spend time reading for enjoyment.
Some readers, however, are able to go beyond basic reading techniques and are able to practice higher thinking skills by reflecting on what they have read and how what they read affects them. It is this act of reflection–that is, stopping to think about what you are reading–that this journal is attempting to encourage. To aid you, we have included writing prompts for each section; however, if you find something that you wish to respond to in the book more compelling than our prompts, you should write about that. We hope you enjoy reading this book and that the act of responding to what you have read increases this enjoyment. After you read the indicated

    The kind of deep reading that a sequence of printed pages promotes is valuable not just for the knowledge we acquire from the author’s words but for the intellectual vibrations those words set off within our own minds. In the quiet spaces opened up by the sustained, undistracted reading of a book, or by any other act of contemplation, for that matter, we make our own associations, draw our own inferences and analogies, foster our own ideas.…

    The following passage within Equus, demonstrates Frank Strang’s work as a father to prevent his son coming into course with items that may negatively affect him in the future without the use of violent behaviour, and guide him into a path he knows, which in this case is reading. “Frank: It seems to be offering you something, but actually it’s taking something away. Your intelligence and your concentration, every minute you watch it. That’s a true swiz, do you see? I don’t want to be a spoilsport, old chum – but there really is no substitute for reading. What’s the matter; don’t you like it? Alan: It’s all right. Frank: I know you think it’s none of my beeswax, but it really is you know . . . Actually, it’s a disgrace when you come to think of it. You the son of a printer, and never opening a book! If all the world was like you, I’d be out of a job, if you receive my meaning!”. During the process of this conversation it almost feels…

    Too much reading indirectly forces the mind to dwell on the thinking of another man’s perspective. The mind is unable to produce original thoughts that spark individuality and pave a path for self’s own nature and character to emerge. Often times the influential writings of others make people to believe in the ideals, morals, and principles that the writers embrace. A uniform world would not be one of ingenuity and variant experiences. Rather as Schopenhauer stated, a man should be able to think on his own impulse and not by the sway of his favorite writer.…

    Reading a book doesn’t shrivel up the brain like watching a movie would do. Our minds are restricted when watching something; movies do all of the thinking and imagination for us. When someone reads, their brain is exercising from all the thinking that’s happening. Instead of staring at the computer screen, reading increases one's vocabulary and writing skills. Whenever I stumble over an unfamiliar word, I jot it down, look it up, and add it to my mental dictionary.…
