book of the read
I'm going to ask you to read critically, to look closely at a text and pay attention to the subtle ways the author is trying to communicate the full complexity of human experience, but I'm not asking you to go symbol hunting because reading is supposed to be some treasure map and you would discover symbols, write them down, and then get an A in class. I'm asking you to read critically because by understanding language you will;
- Have a fuller understanding of lives other than your own, which;
- Will help you be more empathetic, and thereby;
- Help you avoid getting dumped by that young woman in the first place although more importantly;
- Reading critically and attentively can give you the linguistic tools to share your own story with more precision
