The first assignment Book Review

The first assignment: Book Review

Finally, I could submit my critical book review. I started to prepare for this first assignment earlier 3 or 4 weeks ago. However, the book I need to write about was difficult to understand. Tomorrow is the dead line, but I submitted today because I would like to start preparing for my first presentation about Palestinian hip hop on 5^th December. On 12^th December, I also need to submit 2500-word essay on Israeli pop music. I have much work to do, so I should work systematically. Fortunately, I could find a good friend who is a native English speaker helps my studying. Yesterday, I sent him my first draft of book review, and then he gave me useful advices. I could learn how to summarize and quote a book, and how to criticize it. In order to write critical review, I should need to think about why the author thinks it, to judge for yourself whether the author did a good job. Was he easy to understand? Who do you think his audience is meant to be? Did he really do everything he meant to do, or are there ways he could have done better?

I found that I should change the way to read a book. Until now, I just read a book as it is, and understand just only what is written there. However it is not suffice!
