At the beginning of this article, it seemed to be going in the same direction as most of the other material in this textbook. 15 to 20 pages of paragraphs with words I do not understand. Basically meaningless to me since there is nothing in the text that interests me.
Although early in the reading Kantz did spark my interest talking about facts, claims, and opinions. That challenging what is stated in a text can be done without changing facts, just maybe changing how you state them or to whom you state them to. She also makes me feel a better about my comprehensive writing skills through mention in some of her text. She seems to say that these skills require a fair amount of learning and practice.
She also talked of a student who was quite tired of the long, boring college level reading such as myself. But they told of a time when they finally read something that was of interest to them. At that point, things began to come around for them. I can only hope this for myself.
