Part A;
One thing that i have learned by reading ’How to read like a writer’. Is that reading isnt just about reading you cant just look at it and expect to know how to read and write out of the blue just like that. You have to get more into it. Analyze each piece try to understand the other. understand his/her tone where is he/her coming from. What past or current event did they go through, that they’re trying to make us see things in there perspective?. I say this because in Paragraph 19 it states ”Reading wont help you much unless you learn to read like a write. You must look at a book the the way a carpenter looks at a house someone else built, examining the details in order to see how it was made.”
Part B;
As i read ’Learning to read and write’ by F.Douglass, This one quote caught my attention, In paragraph 5 it states ”you will be free as soon as you turn twenty-one, but I am a slave for life! Have not I as good a right to be free as you have? These words used to trouble them them; they would express for me the liveliest sympathy, and console me with the hope that something would occur by which I might be free.” This paragraph made me feel angry and upset with all the injustice things he had to endure. Especially not being able to have your hopes up that someday you’ll be free of everything. While at the same time having the Mistress mistreat him and see him like anything but a human being.
Bunn is not talking about tone or perspective here.

Focus more closely on the words you chose for your quote. Zerio in on these words: “look at a book the the way a carpenter looks at a house someone else built, examining the details in order to see how it was made.”
Now analyze these words. What does it mean to examine details to see how a house was built? THen how is this like examining a piece of writing?
Watch out for mechanical errors in your writing: capitals, apostrophes, commas.
