Discussion Forum 1:1 Responding to Literature To be active reader you must be able to remember what you read, and apply the information you read as you go.To be a active reader you must be able to summarize and make a connection as you read the materials. While reading the material actively you should be able to understand what you are reading, so that is one of the reason it is important to highlight important information as you read it. Is also important to ask yourself why am I reading this material, what am I to gain after reading the material, do I understand what I am reading, do I remember what I have read.

To be a reader that’s reads actively you should become the writer, ask yourself questions; Why, when, how, you must take control of the material that you are reading, by summarizing and predicting what going to happen next, to be a active reader you must be able to use your imagination more than if you was being a passive reader. Passive readers expect someone to keep them interested. while as a actively reader you keep yourself entertain by engaging in what you expecting to learn at the end of the material that you read. passive reader never question what they read, but whatever a passive reader reads they accept it as a fact; unlike a actively reader by engaging in the material, they will notice grammar, punctuation, and question the presented itself because already in the minds they are summarizing as they read.

(“On the Danger reading Fiction”)

I personally disagree with Thomas Jefferson negative approach on fiction novel. I believe that people should entertain them self in whatever way fits them. Thomas Jefferson is clearly not a lover of fiction novel. Thomas Jefferson comment on fiction can easily offend someone who love reading fiction novels. Thomas Jefferson think fiction novel is a waste of time. During the time that Thomas Jefferson thinks fiction novel was a waste of time was many years ago, maybe if he was alive in today's society, he may think differently because fiction novel is in almost every store around the world.
