2 See Harwood’s article for a discussion and application of Arendt’s distinction between factual truth and rational truth.

3 In a “readerly” approach to a text, readers search for the meaning that is within the text itself. In a “writerly” approach, readers construct meanings that texts hold in relation to their own lives.
