I found the concept of considering the context of a written work to be something I will use in my own writing. I often forget that I need to think of the author's intentions while reading and taking notes. I will try to use it both while reading for the upcoming essay when considering the sides people are taking, but also when reading for pleasure to understand the author's goal for the work.

This is an important point to make because oftentimes we will look at our questions and believe they are wrong or not-beneficial to our understanding of the work; while they are actually incredibly helpful.

This is an important question to ask yourself as it prepares us for our own writing by analyzing past examples of writing as a model. It also helps us to question what the author wanted to convey to the readers.

This is something I do personally. I use a notebook and write down specific quotes and placement in the text to go back over them and re-read and analyze for understanding later on.
