Chapter 6 Reading

Personally, I thought this chapter would provide me with the most help because I tend to read at either surface level or so in depth that of ten arguments are lost within how much I think about a piece. Creating two perspectives will hopefully help me better understand my thinking and I think the reading against the grain and with the grain is the best possible way to do this. I don’t really know though how anyone could read against the grain for the tattoo article in this section because it is highly developed on ideas that are quite commonplace today even though it was written over ten years ago. Summarizing has been a major problem in the past because I leave things highly developed and often trailing what the original point pertains. I am feeling this chapter has helped my idea of what a summary is. This chapter is general was very strong on understanding the comprehension of a work of literature. I still wonder what against the grain reading would be for the tattoo article because the only thing I could consider is completely moronic in views on what tattoos are used for. The idea of what a strong responsive essay proved highly intricate and took me a few times to comprehend certain pieces of what it was trying to convey about how to write.
