good readers and Good writers
Good readers and good writers
Many readers are readers but it doesn’t mean that they are good readers or writers. According to Vladimir Nabokov the good reader has all of these working for him, a good imagination, memory, a mind of a dictionary, and some artistic sense. Those are some of the many that Vladimir Nabokov talked about in his article of what good readers and writers are. Not only having these good characteristics help us become good but, being able to have a patience and time has to do with whether we master the art of reading and writing.
Being a good reader and writer is something that is not easy in my opinion. It takes time and dedication to be able to become somewhat successful. Yeah I say somewhat successful because I feel that becoming a master of this has to do with a little bit of how much gifted you are. Some people in my mind are born smart and others like me have to work at it. I can say that I can agree with Nabokov with most of his point of view. For example the reader should be part of a book club in order to help our reading skills I can agree with, but having an imagination or having a mind like a dictionary I will have to go against. Not many people are that gifted and can memorize stuff like that. I believe that the characteristics that are talked about in this article are what a good reader needs in order to be successful. In my mind I consider myself a below average reader and writer especially English being my second language. I will admit that I have gotten better but I am far from where I would like to be at.
