Adler How To Mark A Book

The Norton Field Guide to Writing covers topics about writing and composing. Several of which I was already familiar with. In chapter 2, Bullock and Weinberg express how “Many readers find it helps to annotate as they read…” (16). I have become very familiar with annotating over the years. I often use this writing method to help me understand and summarize text I come across.

In the essay “How to Mark a Book” by Mortimer J. Adler, the author explains that “marking up a book is not an act of mutilation, but of love” (1). Adler points out that marking books keeps a reader vigilant to what they are actually reading (2). The author continues on to say owning a book is more than having it sit on a shelf; owning a book means for the reader to make it unique for him or herself, doing so will make reading that much more enjoyable for the reader. Adler also claims that writing small notes or comments as you read helps readers to summarize what they’ve just read, even days later. He says that writing in books allows the brain to store that information deeper into the long term memory making it easier to come back to (2).

Analyzing is one effective reading strategy a reader can use. This method is most effective by thinking about the writer’s arranged ideas. For example, viewing the developed topics and the structure of the paragraph is a way of analyzing. Annotating is beneficial to the reader who is analyzing the text. When using annotating, a reader

I read pages 11-14 of my book, “Men Explains Things to Me” by Rebecca Solnit, and I gained a lot of insight. As I was reading the book I worked on three examples of deep reading. I worked on the physical act of reading, intertexts, and my own response. Before I began to read I went to a place with little to no distractions, got my highlighter and pen to annotate, and got comfortable. Those ways were how I worked on the physical act of reading. I wanted to get the most out of my reading and I decided that the best way for me to do that would be to focus and annotate as I went along. For the past couple of days, I have been noticing a scandal about a man named, Harvey Weinstein. Harvey Weinstein was an acclaimed Hollywood movie producer

The article that I will read derived from an author named Mortimer J. Adler and is titled "How to Mark a Book". After trying to get a grasp on who Mortimer J. Adler was research began to show that he was a Philosopher who worked with the traditions of Aristotelian and Thomistic backrounds, educator who worked at Columbia University and a popular author. With all these impressive credentials Mortimer carries in his backround, I can infer that he is a trustworthy narrator in teaching how and why its important to write between the lines. There are no pictures in the article which makes it interesting because you get to focus more on what is being said in the article and imagine what the author is trying to tell and show you with the creativity

Mankind is as feeble and divided as it has ever been. War torn countries litter the world. It is very probable that everything we know could be destroyed in a matter of mere minutes. If destruction of this magnitude was to occur, I would want to leave belongings that are insightful and important for our descendants to know about. Documentation is the only truly viable way to preserve our relatively advanced place in time, and religious artifacts such as the Bible, “current” historical documents and some record of daily events are three options I believe are the best overall for the proposed long term preservation. Leaving what is important is the key to safeguarding our heritage and knowledge.

In “How to Mark a Book,” Mortimer Adler argues that it is necessary to annotate books. That way, one is actively reading whereby he/she can articulate the hierarchy of information given. The content of the article features what it means to truly own a book, provides many strategies for marking up a book, and states that there are no excuses for marking up a book. Adler articulates that the reader needs to truly own a book so that he/she can fully understand what he/ she is reading.

The previously mentioned recommended learning strategies for the very strong read/write learning preference of this student compare near-perfectly with the strategies currently in use. This student however, frequently incorporates visual approaches to writing by using different colored highlighters to categorize and connect different thoughts. Sticky notes, often having various bright colors, adorn books, periodicals, Bibles, and even the course syllabus for this class. Often when communicating in writing with others, words are circled followed by arrows that point to a reply the writer has written. Visual learning strategies are very important to this author’s success

From what I read, bookbinding was created in India. The Hindi scribes began creating pictures, images, or print into palm leaves. The print was mostly religious texts and the Hindi used twines for the binding of the books. There are two board-like structures that protect the inside (which are the palm leaves). They used the two boards as protection of the palm leaves from water, damage, sunlight, and more. This idea began to spread to Middle East.

“How to Mark a Book” by Mortimer J. Adler tells how to make a book your own. If you highlight in a book, then the book becomes yours. People highlight and write in a book to mark certain information. They want to remember that part of the book, so they can go back to it. They believe that information is important and want to remember it. If you do highlight and make comments in a book, it should be your own personal copy. You should never take someone else's material and make marks in it. If someone loans you a book, it should be returned in the same condition it was in. You should never disrespect someone else’s property. Also, in the articles, it tells you should read behind the lines. While reading a book, you should turn into the character

As printed text becomes more difficult to read, reading as a hobby has gotten a lot less attractive to some people. UCLA psychology professor Patricia Greenfield points out in her studies, “reading develops imagination, induction,

In the human evolutionary process, people own a pairs of eyes which are sensitivity to space, so the context of book fill in with the iconic things and picture will make the reading process from "remember" to "understand" and transform to knowledge. When reading process happen, the segment is close to the header or footer, the page number is on the left or on the right side, is there is a picture beside the text, these elements seemingly unrelated, but it actually has a great help on memorize the context.
