Can reading like a writer better help you understand the text?
when it comes to reading like a writer its honestly, I don’t like to read at all, Lots of what he talks about I have heard about before I and I have tried and they don’t work for me, the only thing I have ever enjoyed about reading is little kid books to my nephews. Evan though I don’t enjoy reading they say it can always get better it all depends if the particular type of writing happy, emotional etc., and you can use that peace and build of it if you like it it’s called RlW. I have not herd about this type and I thought it was pretty interesting.
When reading I think I’m going to try and read a book and use RLW because then I feel like I’m really doing some thing that could help me. I’m not reading because I have to read, I am gaining knowledge that I could possibly use in the future. Especially when it comes to English classes and what the future has to hold. It can also help me personally because I might want to read more books and reach out to new genre’s and give it another chance. In the article they also say you need to ask questions about the reading, I think that’s a good process because it gives you a chance to stop and go back and really think about the text that your reading as well as making Shure that you understand what your reading and what’s going on in the text. It can also get you thinking about outer questions as well as springing new ideas. For me when it comes to reading like a writer, they also talked about how the author is writing weather its formal non formal etc. For me as a reader I like to read non formal text they can have more of a little bend to them and they’re more interesting to me because I feel like they can free write a little more they don’t have to stick to a script as much. The last thing I think works best for me is when the writer really jumps around and keeps it up beat, I don’t like when a author takes forever to get to the point some authors go for what they call it suspense, I personally like when they get right to the point. When it comes to reading like a writer, I do believe that there is great points that have been brought up that has really opened my eyes to want give reading another chance and see ways that I can like reading.
In reading like a writer, it shows and gives of great new ways to look at the text and to better understand it. Evan though I hate reading it did give me another perspective at looking at reading, and how it can really help me in the future, it shows different techniques on ways to understand the text as well so that way
