Critical Reading

The three methods that are helpful when reading a story are the title, the author, where the book was published and when the book was published. The title can sometimes tell you what the story is always going to be about, also by knowing the author’s life and background you can sometimes determine what the theme of the story will be. But also when and where the book was published is a big help too, like say if the book was published in 1605, you could then determine the book will most likely be an medieval kind of story. One of the methods I have used is always reading the title before the story, by reading the title even though it may only be one word, it can tell you all you may need to know about the story and maybe even more. These methods can also be helpful in other courses because it can give you the idea to always analysis over everything you are doing, and these methods show you how to go step by step to breakdown anything you may need to understand and make it easier for you master a concept.
