JE21 Helping the Reader

            Evaluating one’s own personal narrative from the reader’s point of view is important because the readers don't always understand from the author’s perspectives. It is easy to get confused if the readers cannot comprehend what the author is trying to imply in the literary works. Therefore, writers have to take a look at it and ensure that he explains the backgrounds, essential elements so that the readers would understand more easily. The idea of the literary work should be more generalized, instead of being specific or personal so that the readers can relate to the main ideas. The relationship between the author and the material in a personal narrative is more private, and is probably what the author learned from his or her life experience. The relationship between the reader and the material is not that close as that of the author’s. Readers could to relate the themes to themselves to be more intimate with the literary works if the theme is more universal or common. Therefore, writers should always stand in the reader’s point of views to see if the work is in a broad sense. Conveying ideas is the author’s job thus he or she should definitely to stand back and look at the stuff as if he or she is reading it, instead of writing it.
