I have learned from ”How to read like a writer” is that writing can be very easy if you know what your up to, or it can be very hard if you don’t know what you’re going to do. Also, what I have learned from ”How to read like a writer” is that readers have to pay very close attention to the things that there are reading so that they can better get the main idea of the passage that they are reading from. In the text it states ”The idea is to carefully examine the things you read, looking at the writer techniques in the text in order to decide if you might want to adopt similar techniques in your writing.” (Paragraph 6 Line 1-4) What this quote means is that has a reader it is important to pay attention
Part B- As I read “Learning to Read and Write” by Frederick Douglass, I feel and I quote “in entering upon the duties of a slaveholder, she did not seem to perceive that I sustained to her the relation of a mere chattel, and that for her to treat me as a human being was not only wrong, but dangerously so.” This quote was found in paragraph two of this article. In my belief this was an example of resilience. What this quote is saying in other words is that as a slaveholder she had certain duties to abide by, however the mistress seen him as a chattel. Chattel means any tangible, movable property. I believe that in this article she used that as a metaphor to compare him to something moving as if he had potential. Although, the mistress felt that treating him like a human being was wrong, she also knew the dangers of it. So in other words she pushed him because she seen the potential and wanted him to utilize his qualities even though she knew the dangers of doing so.
