There is an interaction between writers and readers intensively while reading. The writers express whatever idea to represent the aspired meaning and the readers figure the message. Careful readers try to interpret the meaning in the line or between the lines critically. They must be able to read in a critical way – which means that they have to evaluate ideas once they understand them. Thus, readers know exactly the truth in text, the flows of the writers’ idea and are confident to draw a conclusion. By reading critically, it is not only developing the ability to comprehend the message and draw conclusion, but also trigger critical thinking. It can be said that critical reading and critical thinking is born in the same time while the process of interaction is in progress between the writers and the readers everyday even they realise this condition or not. This condition does not stop at that step. It leads the readers to act and response critically in daily life. Then, this beneficial action forms good characters. Readers are no longer passive participants who take everything is written in the text, without questioning the ideas. They start judging and evaluating information critically, and decide to accept or refuse the writers’ ideas. This critical character is just a starting point of other magnificent characters, such as innovative, creative and accountable which are go side by side in developing outstanding characters.
