following techniques will help you. Always read with a pen or pencils in your hand and underline the
things in a story that you seem to you important; clues to a character’s motivation, for instance, or a
generalization that may serve as a statement of theme; a description of setting that helps you to
establish a particular tone , or a choice of words that gives us a sense of the narrator’s voice.
C. Respond Promptly to the story
 Write out, preferably in complete sentences, a few initial responses as soon as you finish the story
responses may take the form of questions or statements or both, but they should reflect your
strongest immediate impressions.
