Chapter 9 

Determining the Author´s Message 
Language is fundamental in order to understand the author of a book. This for example for me is something that affect me because when I read in english I always im with the doubt to know if Im really understanding what the author wants to transmitted or if probablly I am dreaming or imagine what he is trying to transmit. 

 

 
"A book consists of a group of words, taken as unites, and sentences taken as units. A good reader should be attentive of words, sentences and paragraphs. "

 

 

 

Rules 
5. Come to terms with the author by interpreting his key words.
 
6. Grasp the author’s leading propositions by dealing with his most important sentences.
 
7. Know the author’s arguments, by finding them in, or constructing them out of, sequences of sentences.
 
8. Determine which of his problems the author has solved, and which he has not; and as to the latter, decide which the author knew he had failed to solve.
