Something I found difficult...

This semester I found some difficulty when summarizing the "House of Cards" and Grant McCrackens' "The Evocative Power of things: Consumer Goods and Preservation of Hopes and Ideals". I'm really glad that we did that however. It taught me to read more carefully and focus on what I am reading. The stories were kinda of difficult for me to follow and understand but I definitly came away with an improved ability of reading and understanding. I have been able to understand reading the first time rather than reading through the material several times in order to obtain the information. I have had to read several novels in one of my other classes and I have been able to obtain and understand the ideas brought across in the stories. Although it was hard, I'm glad we did it!
