What You Get Out Of What You Read

I one hundred percent agree with the statement. I believe you really can determine what you can get out of reading anything by how much you put into it. I think this because if you just skim through something you are only going to do the bare minimum which means you are only going to get the bare minimum out of whatever it is you read. By reading something one time there is going to be a majority of it that you are going to forget. Of course it would be more information you remember then just skimming it though. I think by reading your material several times you will remember more of the information because you are going to review it a couple times. As for me this is how I think it works. Whenever I read something a couple times I can always comprehend it at a better level. This tends to work for me whenever reading a story because majority of the time I think I understand it which I do, but I get more detail and a better understanding of what the author is trying to say. Therefore, the more you really focus on what you read and the more time you take reading something is going to affect how you understand the material. Focus is really important in reading as well. If you are day dreaming it is going to be really hard to understand what it is you read. You are really going to need a clear mind so you can take information in at any given point. I think reading really relates to writing in a way because the more you redo your work the better it is going to be in the end. As I was always taught practice makes perfect. Anytime I think of this I always relate it back to basketball. I am not going to make a shot the first time, but with practice I am guarantee to have a better chance the second time if I take the shot again.
