Chapter 3 pgs. 117-133: A Different Way of Reading

As I read the beginning of Chapter 3 in Field Working: Reading and Writing Research Guide I realized how people could interpret the exact same subject totally different than me. I found this very interesting because I had never thought of it before. When the author wrote about how in Little Women as a child you relate to one of the girls, but as you grow older and have kids the mother will be the most easily to relate to. I see how true that is now because of the movies I watched when I was little and who was my favorite character. Now, those same movies I use to watch I watch now and relate to someone older, who before I thought was no one important.
Reading this part of Chapter 3 I also learned how important it was to read for what interests you and then you will find a deeper connection and the story will mean more. Even though sometimes you will need to read the story multiple times. It is the same in writing. When I write I will write based on my age, sex, race, etc. I cannot help that, but I can make my position clear nonetheless. I can do this by maintaining a position and providing facts and strong research.
