The purpose of this paper is to explain the "deep reading" and "high reading" of English texts. I expect these two ways of reading give English-learners a much richer experience. The text for our reading is part of M. Perry's expedition to Japan to open the country."Deep reading" is a way of reading texts analytically, which would uncover hidden meanings. As a technique for this, we use the following processes based on N. Goodman's worldmaking theory: (a) composition and decomposition, (b) weighting,(c) ordering, (d) deletion and supplementation, and (e) deformation. With these processes, we can see the worldmaking mechanism."Deep reading" is reading of texts at the word level, but "high reading" is thinking about the contents from academic viewpoints such as historical sociology. The reading shows that Perry was raised in a modern family that was newly formed by the early nineteenth century.

This paper looks at U.S. President Donald Trump’s rhetoric on Twitter and online news media about immigration. Of special concern is the use of language to create an illusion of disorder within the government in creation of immigration policy and relations with Mexico, a key sending nation for immigration. A key argument of this paper is that the Trump administration uses disorder words in which language is used to sow confusion to alienate people from the process of democratic governance. This is a modified form of Deleuze and Guattari’s (1987) concept of ‘order words’ which refers to communication where the listener’s obedience is more important than the speaker’s truthfulness. Accordingly U.S. governance under Trump has gone beyond mere disobedience toward a disorientation that prevents political opposition.
