Reading these amazing articles impacted my form of reading and focusing on text for the future. The authors illustrated many essential key factors in successfully understanding and engaging in a text. Three of these factors are knowing the significance of the motives of the author for creating the text, the audience directed to, and the goal. Authors relate to our feelings and have an agenda or a purpose behind their writing. Understanding their motives make us sympathize with the text, the same way the author sympathizes with our feelings and issues concerning a topic. The text “Reading Games: Strategies for Reading Scholarly Sources,” by Karen Rosenberg, illustrate many important factors about how to engage successfully in a text. The author describes reading academic texts as being similar to having a conversation. This idea becomes a conclusion rather than just a hypothesis by understanding how the text works, its purpose, the audience, and its goal. For example, when we come across rhetorical readings, which goal is to persuade the readers, we engage automatically in a conversation because the author will state many ideas that we can sympathize with, convincing us by expressing our feelings and knowing our emotions. The author states, “Academic writers do not make up their arguments off the top of their heads (or solely from creative inspiration). Rather, they look at how others have approached similar issues and problems.”. This quote supports my statement, we can see that authors inspire themselves by looking at how things trouble us and our ideas about specific topics. Academic texts are a relationship between the writer, reader, and text (as the author stated in a quote). By paying attention to the author’s motivation in writing a text, we can find a relationship and connection with him sympathizing with his feelings and believes the same way the author sympathizes with us. In the article “How to Read Like a Writer,” by Mike Bunn, Bunn expressed many significant ways to learn about the context of the text before reading the text. The author states that it is essential to consider the text that you are reading. For example, we have to keep in mind the factors the went into the creation of the content such as the audience and purpose. This aids us in focusing on the reading more successfully and we know what we are looking for while reading. In addition, reading becomes easier because our brains focused specifically on the task, being on alert for the important factors.
