Something I found useful while reading HRL was “think about how the choices the author made and the techniques that he/she used are influencing your own responses as a reader” it made me look at the text in a different way. It made me want to analyze the technique & understand if this way is effective. If I would like to use this technique in my own writing. Reading in this way as mentioned in the text might take some extra time but it surely changed how I am supposed to read. Also got me thinking about the author’s perspective.

Class Meetings & Times: Mondays & Wednesdays, 2-3:40 PM, in Namm 519
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
