It felt so odd this week when we did the workshop where we took apart other peoples work and rewrote it as it pleased us. All through most of my schooling I was taught and almost reverence for the texts of others, and having that in the back of my mind it was hard for me to rip apart the text I had been given. What I had been given was Cock and Bull which is an amusing story about a transvestite. By ripping it apart and reassembling it I found that not only had I crated something amusing but I also had a grater understanding of the text. It made me to pay attention to every word and the order they where laid down. I became vary connected to the fore pages of the story I had been given and did understand it better. Though it is time consuming I think it will be a strategy I will use more to become closer to what I’m reading.
