Read like a writer

Ā In the article ā€ How to read like a writerā€ The author was explaining how we are authors ourselves and that there are many different ways to interpret reading and how they are many ways to acknowledge reading. To me the authors is saying that every piece of writing that we portray has a purpose. Ways that help me better understand reading is by finding the ideas and quotes that help find meaning. What I mean by this is that if yo u find why the author wrote the book h meaning of the book then itā€™s easier to figure out details and help you understand the book the purpose and makes it easier to understand. After reading how to read like a writer I realized that. There are different methods to reading and that there are more ways to understand how to read and write. Reading and writing is very essential especially to us because we are English college students and the way we read and understand reading is what helps us understand writing and will help us be both better readers and better writers.

Things that was said by bunn in his article that I would like to acknowledge and that I agree and disagree with is that you have to be in a quiet and peaceful think to be Ā able to focus on more reading and writing. I agree when it come to reading part because based on my experience I like to hear myself read and thatā€™s important for me because I like to hear the words from the book to help me understand it better. But writing wise itā€™s ok to be around a little noise to me because I feel Like that when Iā€™m around family or tv or radio etc t may be distracting but it can also provide with ideas . What I mean by this is donā€™t just copy what they say or anything. But use w hat you learn and hear not only in books but in movies, music and more ad use that to portray your writing.

    It’s true, Raleek! I agree, we don’t always need quiet to write– everyone is different in this regard. Some people really need music, others cannot concentrate if music is playing!
