Analyzing Partner's Text One

I am now reading Finding Fish by Antwone Fisher. While reading the first section I used the following reading strategies: Visualization and Predictions.

On page 35, he describes himself sitting by the window daydreaming while the snow was falling. I picture a young boy staring outside the window watching the snow fall and seeing his breath fog the window from the cold against the window. He then describes the Pickett family as being mean. He imagine, them has having goat bodies with hooves, I could visualize a centaur.

I predict that Antwone lives in a foster home from the following quote, “It seems the time came for the visits to child welfare…” (pg. 36) Another prediction that I made was Miss Pickett’s disgust with Antwone by the tone she used with him.

I found that using these reading techniques for a novel is much easier than using it for a textbook because the author does a good job with the visual images and you can see when the author is placing emphasis on something that someone is saying.
