In Xena’s response, the main idea expressed is her interest in Pengfei’s story and writing. She is frustrated by the barriers in Pengfei’s life, as education should be accesible to all. I wrote about the same frustration in my response. I did so because the details in his story, surrounding his financial situation, illustrated the unfairness and overwhelming poverty in this society. Xena identifies pathos as Pengfei’s writing style. Writing style was not something I was taking into consideration, so that was an interesting observation that she made. She also included the title of the text in her response, as did other classmates, and that reminded me to remember that for my next response. I do believe that she followed the Reading Response Guidelines.
