Appleman, Chapter 6

With every chapter I read, there is always one quote that usually sticks out to me. While reading this chapter, Barnet makes it clear when she says that deconstructionists "interrogate a text and they reveal what the authors were unaware of or thought they had kept safely out of sight." Appleman makes a very good point when he says that many people claim to "destruct" different problems and texts but they really don't unbuild or systematically unfold of what they claim to. Deconstrution gives students a chance to take what they read and learn to refocus and unveil the true meanings, layer by layer.
As far as making the deconstructive theory a main part in my classroom, I am somewhat unsure. I believe that it is good to make students uncomfortable at times, but I am unsure to whether indroducing them to the deconstructive theory is the best. On the other hand, this theory can be one of the most thought provoking. It is hard to choose, I go back and forth with this theory. It is hard to really get a good grasp on this theory through this book. I find it somewhat dry and not very interesting. I learn a lot better from Dr. Webb's book.
