READING 3.1

This article entitled ‘Please, let me go to your school’ is about one girl who do not have abilities like a normal children. She wants to go to a normal school but at the end her request was rejected by the higher authority of that school. That girl, as a Scarlett can be described as a victim. Her mother plays a role as the one who protest because her daughter was not allowed to go to that school. Actually I think the writer was bias as she just wrote the things that she heard from one party. How about the school side? Maybe they have very concrete reasons of why this thing happened. The writer as the main position to deliver the exact events that happened should be fair and really careful with any words that she wrote. As a conclusion, positioning is the important element to influence the readers.

As a conclusion, having a nation of the text analysts’ is a cure for all social ills.

Genre and reading position are constructing by discourse. The third subtopic is language and language users where it explains about all people in this world are perfect as a speaker if they have an experience. Not because they born as a perfect speaker.
