Learning to Read to Write

In Mike Bunn’s piece “How to read like a writer” he teaches how to read to write which he abbreviates as RTW. RTW means that when you’re reading to think in the place of the author, to understand that each word was chosen and ran through the head of the artist during its conduction. Mike’s teachings brought the main point to me that when reading I need to notice, analyze and then lastly appreciate word choice, syntax and sentence formation. Lastly the piece made me realize that this form of reading should be used selectively and is not meant for all types of writing but rather ones of merit.

In Dana Goodyear’s piece “I <3 Novels” Goodyear displays how cell-phone stories were used as a method of self-expression for Japanese females who due to cultural barriers could not do so otherwise. The author uses fine diction and syntax to express the influence this had the culture of Japanese girls and its evolutionary influence. Using the read to write method I was able to develop a few possible research questions Goodyear had in mind when composing the piece.

How do girls in Japan express themselves despite cultural limitations?

How does cellphone novel influence self expression?

Who is involved in this cellphone novel culture?

How did cellphone stories become popular in Japan

I got these questions by deducting from the in the read to write format. She makes it clear by her focus on the cultural influence of the novels and their form of self expression.

Reading Response on Mike Bunn and Dana Goodyear

  In "How to read like a writer" written by Mike Bunn, he teaches us how to read like a writer by pointing a lot of examples and guides. For instance, he uses the comments from his students in college to explain what are things that we need to take into account and what are the advantages or disadvantage for doing this way. When we are reading someones writing, we need to analyze it by thinking whether it is effective or not and if I am the writer, will I write in this way or not. We should learn this reading technique and use it every time we are reading. 

  In "I <3 Novels" written by Dana Goodyear, using the reading technique we just learned, we know that cell-phone novel influences Japan a lot and changes its literal culture. The author Goodyear wants to tell us that cell-phone novel help a majority of teen girls to express their feeling. Due to the culture in Japan, the role girls play in Japan is very insignificant. By using the platform of cell-phone novel, they can write their own story and read others story by using anonymous name. 

Research Questions:

What kind of literature is popular in Japan?

What is cell-phone novel?

Who started this kind of literature?

Why this kind of literature influences Japan so much?

Why this kind of literature is so popular in Japan?

Who is the audience of this kind of literature?

I found those questions by using the reading technique we learned from Bunn. I got those answers in the reading.
