I think that Schine is an amazing example of a classic reader, not a reader to judge or think just reads to read. It seems like she had her ups and down a lot in reading and her expierences through reading made her more aware of what it was she was reading and how it all came together. The rhetoric, i believe wasn't picked up by her at first but later on in her reading expierence. If you can understand the rhetoric of reading you can read anything and everythiny, but if you dont understand the rhetoric of a reading will cannot fully take advantage of it. She gives her personal expierences from reading all types of text and how she feels it has influenced her and how it has made her the reader that she is today.
I think that Schine, being "illiterate" or thinking that she is in a way, in the end made her greatly literate. She talked about how she tried reading something when she was a teen and not understanding it then but going back and reading it again when she was older greatly helped her understanding of the text she was reading. I feel that it grew on her and by reading more and more throughout her life that she grew a knowledge for rhetoric, and didnt fully understand it until she was literate, which was a big accomplishment for her. I think it is a great accomplishment to be able to understand what it is that you are reading because if you understand it, you will understand its purpose, who its intended for and its context inside the reading which is fully understanding RHETORIC!
