Journal 2 Chapter 6

My ability to listen to text plus summarizing it along with being able to agree, disagree, or be neutral is key for college reading. College reading can be difficult... don't just highlight the text and write about the text, read it then write down what I have read. Vocabulary can have special meanings, author could be unfamiliar to me, and my lack of knowledge on subjects could be my down fall. I have problems understanding some things when they are soo new to me. I can either go with the grain and see things in the authors way or against the grain and ask questions and doubt things. Usually, I read with the grain because I was taught not to question people just read what I am told and learn from it. Fictional books I know to question... but these questions are how they came up with the book and make it a believeable aspect and make it feel like I am in the book as a character.
