After reading chapter 1

After reading chapter one i found out that i was partly right because i was right on the basic idea of the chapter. But i learned that there are many different things to look for in a reading before you write your summary like identify the main points, and even the subordinate points. Also i need to determine what is a point, example or a counterarguement. I also learned that it helps breaking the reading into different parts so it doesn't seem like such a long piece. A paraphrase is almost like a summary just putting the summary into more of your own words instead of almost just saying the authors main points right from the reading. When using quotes i learned that are certain times you should use direct quotes and indirect quotes. Or when an author's language is important, or that an author proves a point in very good wording and lastly when in my writing i want to add credibility to my writing by using a good quote. I learned that you should only use the part of the sentence or paragraph that i need, make sure i get the quote to flow into my sentence i just don't need to stick it anywhere in the sentence or paragraph.
