In chapter seventeen Hendrick teaches us how to read telescopically. Hendrick introduce the his lecture with four methods that can help us improve our telescopically reading. The first method involves searching for connectives. Connectives are very crucial because they symbolize a change in context. Some of the most know connectives are, therefore, and, and but. Likewise, Hendrick also mentions that we should pay attention to context. Hendrick states that when examining a verse we should read the verse before and after the verse you're reading. Additionally, Hendricks third method is evaluating the book as a whole. It would be like standing on top of a mountain and looking down to observe all the land beneath it. By establishing this method into our reading Hendrick writes that it would help us grasp the big picture. Sometimes we get so involved in the small things that we often miss the main point. Lastly, we should analyze our reading through a historical lense. Hendrick say we should ask ourselves …show more content…
Hendrick mentions for clues that can help identify things that are emphasized. The first clue to look for is the amount of space dedicated for the subject. Hendrick uses Genesis as an example. Beginning Genesis God writes about fall creation and the flood. Towards the middle of Genesis God explains the lives of his Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The shift in subject symbolizes what Hendrick means by emphasized. The second clue Hendrick refers too is searching for stated purposes. Stated purpose are ideas that are written directly and obviously. Another clue to uncover an emphasized subject is order. For instance in Genesis cain killed his brother. After he killed his brother God punished him by sending him away. Hendrick describes order by using the Luke. In Luke its reads that we have the baptism of the savior but the temptation of sin. That is the order Hendrick is trying to point
...onally transposing indirect to direct quotation, putting words into people mouths and blending two separate eye witness's accounts. How can one read a novel for knowledge gaining purposes when the structure appears so flawed? The use of modern and old English are combined in the sentence structure. The highly academic vocabulary not only is confusing, but breaks the flow of the book when that is the evident purpose for the format of the book. The confusing order in which Starkey retells events and the ineffective and useless information that is put in for building character personalities.
The author starts off his book with a note highlighting the meaning of this book. It is as follows:
The first chapter in the book At The Dark End of the Street is titled “They’d Kill Me If I Told.” Rosa Park’s dad James McCauley was a expert stonemason and barrel-chested builder. Louisa McCauley was Rosa Park’s grandmother, she was homestead and her husband and oldest son built homes throughout Alabama’s Black Belt. In 1912 James McCauley went to go hear his brother-in-law preach. While there, he noticed a beautiful light named Leona Edwards. She was the daughter of Rose Percival and Sylvester Edwards. Sylvester was a mistreated slave who learned to hate white people. Leona and James McCauley got married a couple months after meeting and Rosa was conceived about nine months after the wedding. In 1915, James decided to move North with all
To quote Ben Jonson,” Weigh the meaning and look not at the words” to put this simply he means do not merely look at what is written literally because often what one is reading is only half of what the author has written. Some authors compose their works, giving the world a thrilling or informative story on the surface, but in actuality their real purpose in writing them is the hidden meanings within or underneath the stories which only those who are truly paying attention will notice and understand. Zone off for just a second and whole world could be missed. Cousteau’s work “How to Swim with Sharks: A Primer” may seem to the inexperienced or uninterested reader an ordinary guide to swimming with sharks, but any who delve deeper will notice

Step 1: Grasp the text in their town. Summarize the original situation and the meaning of the text for the biblical audience?
As we connect through the basics of reading, we become a verse in the grand poem of life, contributing our perspective of an imagination into a grander culture of reading. Our souls are compelled to add presence to each word in the text and to crawl in and fill the gaps that were left in between each line. Our role as the reader is to give life and meaning to what we read. Through our actions as a reader, the text then fulfills its purpose by giving substance and structure to the absence of life.
Walter Farley began writing his novel, The Black Stallion, when he was in high school. He finished it years later and then had it published while he was attending college. The novel was an instant hit and many adults have read this book as a child. However, I had never gotten a chance to read The Black Stallion so this book report finally provided me with the perfect opportunity to do so.
He too quickly dismisses the idea of reading on your own to find meaning and think critically about a book. For him, Graff states that “It was through exposure to such critical reading and discussion over a period of time that I came to catch the literary bug.” (26) While this may have worked for Graff, not all students will “experience a personal reaction” (27) through the use of critical discussion. The solution to this seems to be neither giving away answers or lazily doing assigned reading in order to find meaning within the text.
Dr. Heward mentions in his presentation that one of the best clear statements about autism can and should be viewed by Gina Green. “Autism is a syndrome of behavior deficits and excesses that have a biological basis but are nonetheless amenable to change through carefully orchestrated, constructive interactions with the physical and social environment” (Green, 2001). While using ABA for improving autism, if the learning procedure is not working it gives you opportunity to change the way the teaching is being taught to improve the learning. Dr. Heward shows a video of a therapist working with a child with autism. The session is teaching communication skills and language skills. The therapist is asking the child questions such as what your

...e to the study of the bible instead of all the doubts that was created by the other criticism. To them all the odd parts and repeated phrases or parts all add to a strikingly beautiful tale. They see the bible as a literary masterpiece in which the authors used gorgeous imagery to strike at the heart of the reader to show them God’s greatness. In essence rhetorical critics want you to see the big picture instead of all the little side pictures. The J story of Genesis as well at times the P story is filled with imagery that is meant to show God’s power.
Close reading, according to the author, has five key components to look for; word choice, repetition,
The text was written with reading out loud in mind, that can not be recommended; but it is suggested that the reader attend with his ear to what he takes off the page: for variations of tone, pace, shape, and dynamics are here particularly unavailable to the eye alone, and with their loss, a good deal of meaning escapes.

This approach to literature reveals a deep meaning of this text. Upon a first reading of this text without this approach, a person could miss the deeper meaning of this text. I believe that using any critical approach to literature to examine the text benefits the person that is reading the
