I feel as though the guide that she offers for critical reading is a little more complex than I had previously thought the reading and writing process to be. In my personal opinion it is much easier to read when you are not so much worried about the little details as opposed to the general picture of the piece. I agree with the idea of rereading if more clarity is needed, but to read as in depth as she is suggesting is often going to be overkill and not reallt necessary at all. I much prefer her opinions on writing. She seems to have a solid outline as to whae writing process should be and how best to create a work that the reader is both going to enoy and at the same time get the information being provided. The idea of writing as a way of learning was also of interest to me. I think that writing about things is an excellent way to get to know things about yourself and your own thoughts. It allows you to put onto paper exactly what you think and see it for what it is.
