1. I like the piece because it help me get better at my writing .
2. I learn is that you should think about author idea, what he trying to say.,while your reading.
3. 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 âbuildâ one for yourselfâ, is that thinks about author background, where it take place. So people can understand what there reading.

I enjoyed reading this essay a lot. I loved how it started out him talking to us about himself. It grasped my attention. He also gave us very important points on how to become better writers throughout reading. One tip I learned on how to read like a writer is to understand that what the writer wrote is what you’re reading as slow as he wrote it. Every word you’re reading is a thought a writer put together and as stated in this essay, one word turns into a sentence and eventually to a book. Another tip is noticing how they wrote in language and punctuation, also implementing that in your writing. I think the writer means to put attention to not only understanding the writing but take away from it when he said âWhen 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 âbuildâ one for yourself” in his essay. The things you notice like how an author started his introduction, ended with its conclusion, use quotes and examples can make you become a better writer if implementing these techniques into your writing. Mike Bunnâs intended audience would be students or writers looking to improve in this area. His purpose is to teach us about his insight in how we can become better writers through reading. I believe this was written in essay form. I also noticed how it contained subtitles above, I find the reading more appealing this way.

I think the Author meant by saying ” when you read like a writer…”, is to think of the creation of the text, Also by learning who the audience are.

Mike Bunnâs purpose in writing this piece was to give people skills and tips on better understanding reading and writing as a whole. I think the intended audience is writers and reading which includes but is not limited to: Teachers, Students,
I think the genre of this text is like an information/ Educational essay, because this text gave a lot of information and it was also very educational in many different ways and it can help the reading.
I notice how with everything that the author stated and described in the essay he went into details and explained it in such a way that was easy to understand.
I liked how descriptive and personal the piece was. It was interesting to read about another personâs reasoning that was as detailed as this was.
I learned that it is important to figure out what the authorâs intent for writing a piece is. I think that by analyzing the writing of others in depth it will help me to write my own pieces with clear intent.
The author means that in order to find out what works best for you writing wise, you have to adapt a new way of understanding the writings of others.
The purpose of this text is to be informational and give tips to those who are looking to improve their writing skills.
This text used examples that the reader could relate to with explanatory solutions in addition.
I liked the reading and I understood it when I read it the second time. What I learned about reading it is that think like the author and what he is trying to tell you. Feel what he was feeling at that moment. And also question why they felt like that and asking questions while reading.âWhen 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 âbuildâ one for yourselfâ When the writer said this he means How your choice of writing affects your choice of reading.The author wrote this to tell the audience that how to read like a writer so being in people shoes and in third person can affect how they read it.I think this genre is a essay but a learning story.How I noticed is his experience and how he came to his conclusion at the end.
The reading was very informative and gave me a better understanding on how to read like a writer.
I learned that before reading you should ask questions like what is the authors purpose of the reading or who is the reading targeted for.
When the author says, âWhen 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 âbuildâ one for yourselfâ it means to analyze how and why the author structured the text the way he/she did so you can learn new ways to write and structure your own writing.

1. I like this article, because it showed me why read like writer is good and tried to teach me how to read like writer. These skills can improve my reading skill a lot.
2. âThink about the choices and techniques from the author.” “Feel the feels the author want to you know” “Ask some qustions before you read”
3. I think the author wants us to learn to understand the structure of the article carefully. The author use the word ‘build’ shows the article like the building. When we read the other article it’s like understand the building and trying to understand the blueprint of their building, then gain experience from it and build our own building .
4. The purpose of the author writing an article is to let people learn how to better read and understand the meaning of the article. I think the intended audience is all the people who wanna to learn how to write a good article.
5. I think it is a article.
6. I noticed that the author uses external examples and other people’s words to make this article easy to understand.
1. Overall, I thought the piece was good and I to some extent liked it as even though I didn’t find it to be super interesting, the advice the author gave and his perspective from where the advice was coming from was nice to learn about.
2. One of the main tips I learned through this text is that while im reading, I should approach the text piece by piece instead of immediately thinking overall or skimming, as when you approach a text piece by piece it helps you further understand every little decision the author made, which in turn gives you a deeper understanding
3. When the author says this, they most likely mean that as you observe how a text was constructed it gives you insight as to how the author was able to make the text, in turn teaching you how to write as now you have the info on what a writer should include in a text.
4. I believe the authors main point in writing this text is to teach new students and or people uninitiated when it comes to serious writing and give them useful pieces of advice the author didn’t know when he was new in college. His audience was most likely people who were originally in his position of being in college
5. I believe the genre of this text would be an article
6. One observation I noticed about the authors writing is that he splits up his text into sub-chapters, which the purpose of this might be to help make the text even more clear to understand, which can be useful.
1) I found the piece to be very informative, it provided the reader with mean tips on how to read from the writers point of view.
2) The author pointed out when RLW the importance of (1) recognizing key techniques to blend into my own writing. He additionally recommends (2) creating a list of ideas on how to start a piece precisely a Pros & Cons list. Another idea the students of the author suggested is to (3) consider the historical context of the text. All these tips can assist me in better understanding of why the author decided to write or format the piece the way he or she did.
3) The author emphasizes the structure of any reading can be used to help better acknowledge your own writing when the time comes.
4) I believe the author wrote this piece to help younger writers, especially college students, to expand their creativity when it comes to writing their own piece.
5) The genre for this piece is an essay, Since the author himself stated on page 75 line 8, âThatâs what this essay is for.â
6) I appreciate the author titling each section of the piece, it made it very easy to navigate throughout the whole essay.

I like this piece because he taught me how to read like a writer. In the past, when we read, we only understood the superficial meaning of the article and did not read it as a writer. This allows me to dig deeper into the meaning of the article and understand who the content of the article is aimed at in the future.
When start reading, ask a few questions to understand the writer’s purpose of writing this article and who the writer wrote this article, and what kind of people he presents to. When reading, I should understand the author’s intentions with the word-by-word and sentence-by-sentence methods just like the writer writing the piece.
I think he means that when you read, you should figure out the deep meaning of the work and understand how the author uses a way to construct his work. Then apply what you have learned to your own works.
I think the purpose of his writing this piece is to make people pay more attention to the use of RRLW, rather than just reading and not understanding the correct purpose of the article. RLW makes you feel the joys and sorrows of the writer and understand the feelings of the writer.
I think the types of genre of this text is essay.
Most of the forms of this essay are when he gives an example or statement, he looks for some evidence from somewhere to support his examples and statements.
I enjoyed this essay. I found very useful and something I would put it in use through my readings as well as writings. I learned a bunch of tips/ideas about how to read like a writer. some of the tips/ideas I personally think would help me are the questions i should asking myself before reading. As stated “Knowing why the piece was written and who itâs for can help explain why the author might have made certain choices or used particular techniques in the writing…” I totally agree with that too. . when the author said, âWhen 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 âbuildâ one for yourselfâ have an idea on how you can also make your writing have the reader putting themselves into your shoes. Make the reading have more sense to it. The authors purpose in writing this piece was to help the reader/audience which is us to reader like a writer. Help us become better writers. the genre of this text is informative.
I liked how descriptive and personal the piece was. To some extent I liked it even though I did not find it to be super interesting.
One tip I learned on âHow to Read Like a Writerâ is to understand what the writer wrote is what you are reading as slow as he wrote it. Every word you are reading is a thought a writer put together and as stated in this essay, one word turns into a sentence and eventually into a book.
When the author said, âWhen 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 âbuildâ one for yourself,â it means when you have the mindset of a writer, you begin to think and plan like a writer. Taking ideas from others and turning them into your own creation.
The authorâs purpose for writing this text was to inform others on how to read from a different perspective.
The genre of this text is an informational text.
I had noticed that the author had gone into detail and made sure that the reader fully understands what is trying to be said.
1. I found this piece to be very informative, I like this kind of writing because it forces me to think about the way I read and write.
2. The ideas I learned in this piece of writing were learn the context, intended audience and genre of the piece. I can apply this to my reading by being cognizant of both the author and type of writing and from there infer the audience.
3. The author means you have to be able to break down writing into its key components and reverse engineer them. Everyone knows how to write but there’s a reason we look at examples first
4. Mike Bunn’s purpose in writing this piece is to inform young college students about how they should be reading to benefit their writing.
5. This piece is an informative essay.
6. I noticed the text was written to grab your attention and keep it by using examples from former college students, it helps to be able to relate to the piece.
I really liked this piece because it actually explained how to read like a writer and things you should identify before reading any text. This reading will definitely help me when it comes to readings for papers. One of the tips i learned was to ask yourself, âdo you know the authors purpose for this piece of writing?âand âDo you know who the intended audience is for this piece of writing?â, before you start reading. Another one was to see what choices the author made and think how you feel about those choices. An idea i learned was making an advantages and disadvantages list, I thought that was a good idea to keep track of the authors choices. When the author says â “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). I think He means that one of the ways you can learn how to write better is by seeing how other authors write to get ideas and see what type what writing you prefer. The authorâs purpose for writing this piece was to share what he has learned as a reader and a writer, how he has figured out how to read like a writer. The intended audience was college writers. I think the genre of this piece was a descriptive essay. Lastly this piece was written in sections, explaining each step of RLW.
