Bunn insist in importance of understanding the used flow, choices, and tactics by the authors by stating, “When you read like a writer, you are trying to figure out how the text you are reading was constructed” (74). He depicts the contrast of RLW and normal reading by claiming the fact that RLW has much deeper procedure, which even helps us to have better understanding of context; moreover, he contradicts himself. At same time that he argues that for most students RLW is a brand new and tough way to apply to their reading, he also implies that “All of your previous writing experiences inside the classroom and out- can contribute to your success with RLW” (75), due to fact that students have primary knowledge of writing and knowledge about the way which author is writing; furthermore, Bunn contact a few of his previous student to describe some essential elements of RLW, he encourages them to find the author’s intentions and intended audiences for the piece of writing before start reading.
