How I Read (Now)

My relationship to reading in school is very formal and informative, everything I’ve read so far as been related to schoolwork and I’ve learned many of different things that I thought I would never had known such as reading about “out patients” where a woman pretends that she’s sick but she’s not actually sick and yet she looks up the symptoms and finds out that she has those symptoms but not the the extreme of others where they get pleasure out of pretending to be sick even though maybe subconsciously she could be getting pleasure out of pretending to be sick but she doesn’t admit it.  My reading has changed somewhat, I still read everything as I’ve always done but I’ve learned some life skills on how to read quicker and faster in this class, we learned skimming where you just briefly looking over what your reading to get an idea about what the reading is about with the bonus added addition of not needing to know some useless information about things that aren’t relevant. I’ve also learned in reading that “precise” language means how the author describes things in a specific kind of way, and how they choose to write about it. I also learned that in interviewing it’s great to not only get what the person’s response is but the environment and small details about the person along with where it’s taking place to describe to the reader reading, making them imagine what’s happening.
