Previewing...

Previewing, I always thought you just previewed movies, I by no means even considered books. Honestly, I never used to think that much about a book or essay’s appearance before. I would read the first sentence or two and if it hooked me then yes, I would read it. Today I learned that sometimes judging a piece of writing on its appearance can be very true. We found that most of the time, you don’t even need to read the essay to get the general overview of what it will be talking about. Also, it is amazing how many different things are found out about a book or an essay without going into much detail. The year it was published for example, can make a book controversial or political. The way the pages are setup might discourage the average reader making the audience for this particular piece very small. Furthermore, the writing style can sway your audience some may find it too scientific, while a scholar may find the writing interesting and insightful. Yes, I now know there is a lot for me to look at before I even begin to read.
