How do you interpret the reading as a whole?

A response paper is nothing but a way to jot down your personal learnings and viewpoint about
virtually any topic in question along with the core beliefs, values and most importantly, the ideas
behind those learnings and viewpoint. The response essays are not concise or terse in nature. The
reader already has an idea of the piece of work but s/he likes to know your opinion and thought
process about the piece of work. The concepts, beliefs, attitudes, and most importantly, values
along with their core understanding is the only concern of the writer. You can say that a response
letter can be considered as a heartfelt written letter, a great idea, or even a conversation to the
author or creator of the piece of art or literature. The response paper is quite relaxed, uncensored,
and vivid in nature depicting even the minuscule of the details that captivated you. By
articulating sound responses, you can tell your reader that you have read, listened, watched, or
observed the piece of art and analyzed it through your lens.”
