Texts in all media are often read differently by different readers. What is funny to one person can be offensive to another. One reader "gets the message" while another wonders, "What's the point?" How does the author of your literature analysis book use techniques such as figurative language, parody, satire, and allusion to encourage the reader to interpret the text? Think of an example from anything you've read and describe how it can be interpreted in more than one way. Is this more or less effective than coming right out and telling the reader everything s/he needs to know? Explain your answer.
