In the essay “How to Read Like a Writer” by Mike Bunn, I learned about how the RLW technique helps to understand the choices writers make to get responses from a reader. The reader’s potential response makes the writer consider how they’ll execute their writing & what response they want to have. As written on page 73, “I started asking, how—how did the writer get me to feel, how did the writer say something so that it remains in my memory when many other things too easily fall out, how did the writer communicate his/her intentions about genre, about irony?” This quote used in Bunn’s essay expresses the importance of the writer’s choices when writing and how a reader might be able to recognize the details in a writer’s text. To summarize, I as a reader have learned to become more detail oriented during reading as it helps to better interpret what the writer wants us to see.
I agree details are important to text construction because it affects how the piece makes someone feel. Details also portray other things like evidence and it really strengthens the text. The genre also plays a part in details because details like someone’s feelings would be good in an opinion essay but not good in an informative essay.
I also liked that quote, I agree with how it says to become more detail orientated to grab the reader’s attention
Yes, I have also learned to pay attention to details while reading so that I can find out techniques that will work better for me when writing.
This is not a clearly written answer.
