Post 3: Importance of Outside Sources

 In Mike Bunn's "How to Read Like a Writer," he breaks down to us the process of how to read like a writer. Bunn first introduced himself to his readers and gave them a brief background of who he was and the struggles he faced with reading in theatre environment. Bunn said, ". As I struggled to read in this environment, I began to realize that the way I was reading—one word at a time—was exactly the same way that the author had written the text." (pg. 72) It was in that moment that Bunn realized that reading was a process of a string of choices. He went on to explain why it is important to not only read like a but also how different it is from normal reading. Bunn told us that using outside sources serves as evidence to the author's story and help make the writing more creditable.
