Reading Critically

I've never exactly read anything this way, so it was a bit difficult at first. I started to get  a bit better as I went on. I found myself highlighting a lot of key ideas through the stories and then writing in the margins what each paragraph is about so it is easy to go back and find what I am looking for. I also found it a bit easier to find symbols in the stories. This is something that is going to take work and practice but will be extremely helpful in the future and for other english classes. From now on I am not going to rush through my readings, it makes more sense to get it done the right way the first time. :)
