chapter 38

this was a very helpful chapter. it showed me how to read things and actually get information out of them. it taught me helpful hints like highlighting important facts and finding things like the purpose, audience, genre, stance an design.  also doing things like rewriting what you think the writer said into your own words so that you understand it better. outlining would also be a good tool to use. so that u have all your points down and know what your going to talk about before you start typing.  summarizing can give the reader an idea of what you are talking about without making the writing so long. it also helps what you are writing become your own.
