Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-10 00:00:00 Chris Edelstein I only read an article by Ochs Smith and Taylor called Detective Stories at Dinnertime: Problem Solving Through Co-Narration. It explains the socialization process that occurs during dinnertime story telling and the opportunity space provided for the family to socialize one another. In addition, the family is being socialized into ways of articulating and problem solving through the construction of a social genre that is jointly owned and made by the participants.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-07-25 00:00:00 Connie Leep An empirical experiment in literary criticism. Richards' discussion of his students reviews of anonymous poems is side-splittingly funny. But of his more sober conclusions, the most notable and useful is his four-fold deconstruction of 'meaning', viz., in its aspects of sense, feeling, tone and intention. That is: - What is actually being said by a poem? - What attitude does the poem show towards its subject? - What attitude to its reader? - What is the poet's intention?
