As I read chapter 46 in Rules for Writers, I learned how to write about different pieces of writings. The main steps that I learned to follow were, first take notes as I am reading the text, second compile a quick outline to help myself understand the main points and the thesis of the paper, third develop my own summary about the paper using my notes and my outline.
I found this assignment to be very helpful. I think that as a fairly new writer I will benefit greatly from following her instructions on how to construct a summaries on different papers. I think that the hardest part for me is analyzing what the author is trying to say. You can either understand them easily, or you can be completely off. This is going to be the most challenging part of writing summaries for me.
