Questions on Peer Reviews: The reader in the text

• Readers can participate in the making of meaning of a text by taking it apart.  In order for a reader to actually hear the writer's "voice", she must analyze the text using scrutiny and criticism. 
•  I find that I am a very active reader.  If I don't read a text with my multi-colored highlighters and a stack of post-its, I won't entirely understand its meaning.  
• I -- as a reader, completely belongs in the text.  Without the scrutiny of the reader, the writer's work becomes lost.  The reader is the one who can base an opinion off the text, while the reader just presents his thoughts on a subject.  The reader is the one who can argue the writer's points, both negatively and positively.
