1- Well! To be honest, I really loved this essay, the techniques, advice, tips, etc…, along with all the context provided. I personally think that it’s very helpful for students that are trying to get better at writing and which steps to follow in order to get there.
2- The ones that I liked the most were how to ask yourself questions while you’re reading, as well as marking up the important choices or techniques you wish to try on your own.
3- I consider that when you see a sentence that you wish you could make one on your own, first you see how it was made and constructed. Then, you get yourself to try to put together a text with a similar structure. For instance, I personally love to write, whenever I’m sad, whenever I’m happy, I just let my thoughts fly. I’ve noticed that my sister loves to see my writing at some point and before she submits an assignment she comes up to me for checking and suggestions. She sees carefully how my examples are constructed and applies them to her own writing.
4- Mike’s purpose in writing this piece is to allow students to realize the importance and advantages of reading like a writer. He took a huge effort on designing this essay for student’s personal growth and tips. His intended audience will be college students.
5- It’s an essay gender.
6- I noticed that this was well constructed in terms of the author’s background, important information, besides, how this particular event led the author to find out important information about reading like a writer.

1- I think this is a good essay to improve our writing skills and get better in the future. I could use this information in my future projects and share these ideas with my friend who are taking English classes.
2- some question i might ask myself is on how the author is developing the essays what’s connected to the introduction with the conclusion and start thinking what the real meaning behind the whole essay is.
3- I think thew author meant by that was that when you are writing an essay don’t just think about yourself if not how your narrative will affect other people and what’s the meaning if your narrative and what others will learn from it.
4- I think that Mike’s purpose on write this essay is to let us understand and give ideas or strategies on how to write a pretty strong essay.

In my opinion this text was very helpful. I really enjoyed reading it because the author used not formal language which is always helpful when I want to learn something new. I liked when he included other college student’s opinions to help understand the topic.
2. What tips or ideas did you learn about how to Read Like a Writer? How might you apply it (use it) when you read?
I definitely learned a lot! I will use the idea of asking questions when reading. I am sure it will be very useful, especially in the begging of my journey to improve my writing. Another useful tip that I’ve learned was to always keep a notebook and a pen near you when reading. It sounds like a good idea to keep track of any new thoughts on the text.
3. Can you explain what you think the author means when he says, “When you read like a writer, you are trying to figure out how the text you are reading was constructed so that you learn how to ‘build’ one for yourself” (74). Be specific. Share a personal example, if possible.
When a dentist wants to learn how to make a crown he first need to look at a crown that somebody already made. He needs to learn about all the steps that are needed to make a crown by himself. The same is with the writers. If you want to know how to write you have to first read another writer’s work to find out about all the steps that are needed to create your own work.

1- I really like the piece because it has enough details, which is really helpful for me to have a better understanding. In my opinion, I think I would have been a better reader if I knew these little details before. Now I have the opportunity to be a better reader. Love it!
2- I learned to really pay attention about what the author said and which audience the author tried to attend. Now I know I have to figure out if the author’s article is appropriating to the audience or is it inappropriate?
By saying that the author wanted us to have the ability and the capacity to build our own text. For instance, being an architect means that you can just look at other architects’s work and make a similar one. In this case the author tried to tell us that the best way to RLW is by reading other authors’s article and try to understand the feelings not what the text means but the atmosphere of it.
4- The author’s purpose is to let people or specifically college students know that there are different type of reading and the very best way to understand and feel what the author is sharing is by RLW.
