Reading strategies/challenges

When reading Purple Hibiscus, I have found that annotating has contributed significantly to my overall understanding. It has helped me to catch important phrases that I may have missed otherwise. It has also help me to define the writer’s style and which writing techniques she uses. It has also helped me to look up unknown words that help me understand a certain passage better.


Some challenges I have found are that sometimes I may be looking in too closely that I miss the overall picture. I am so focused on the small details that I do not stop to see the entire painting. Though, it helps me to talk about the book with my group to see what they noticed and I did not. I take what they have found and compare it with what I found and connect everything. This helps me because for the next night’s reading, I will learn what I should and should not be looking out for.
