Abstract
All criticism of the film The Reader points to how the story gets in the Nazi Holocaust drama from the life of a guardian of postwar Auswchitz and how even after that period, continues to affect innocent emotionally involved with her present. However, the unique element is the place to read for humans. This paper will attempt to think of the place of reading as a cognitive and subjective activity, the reading aloud and silently, the writing and the stories in people's lives.
