![]() Not fair! Go figure.īut what a thrill I felt in the subsequent moments of revelation, when the “inner meanings” became clear to me, and I left behind the illustrated book report (with fancy cover, huge titles, and fabulous collage) forever. It was about more than what it was about. The writer had been saying one thing and meaning another. Apparently, the story meant something other than what it said. ![]() Katz returned my dutiful work, his comment insisted that I interpret the story, think about “the why” of the story think about the writer’s motivation in telling the story. “I can’t interpret what happens,” she moaned as I attempted the role of Mr. It seemed to her to be unfair: Words could be about something other than what they say? Go figure! The time had come in her growth as a reader and writer to explore the abstract sense of things, the figures in language, the author’s intention. She had to step outside her reading and writing comfort zone.Ī seventh-grader, Hilary was in a typical, bumpy transit from her competent, concrete summaries of the text to the subtextual observations her teacher was training the class to do. I remember my own daughter struggling with just such a report, an English assignment requiring her to go beyond a synopsis of the plot of “April Morning,” to delve deeper than a mere summary of the characters and their actions. We’ve all been there, whether as the report writer, the parent, or the teacher trying to coach and coax the project to completion. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. “He was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead.
