While attempting to understand what I was reading, I found the idea of the two questions interesting.  The model was there is a statement or "utterance" that is followed by "question 1."  However it is "question 2" that is interesting or challenging.  This seemed to apply to school and how we are taught to look at text and media.  We are taught to see the message that is trying to be delivered to the audience and the first question is something immediate that still helps deliver the message.  The second question is the one that gives us something more from the text/media.  

This also seemed to further support the section that discusses what text specifically states and what is left for the audience to take from it.  I remember when I was younger (and even now sometimes) reading a book for school and going in the next day discussing themes and metaphors that never made any connection to the book.  It is from these discussions that text can stay current and relevant even if it was written fifty years ago.  We are still being taught how to ask that second question and not fall into the trap of asking the first question.
