!. Highlighting:
Simply a referential mark in your text. Although this seems simple enough, the thought behind your highlights is extremely important to you. After awhile, you will see certain common threads in your own thoughts as well as the author's. In this sense, you are exploring self through the text's "other." You learn who you are in relation to the text at hand.
2. Annotation
Another point of reference. Annotation is generally marginal notation--nothing elaborate, just a reminder of why you thought the passage was important enough to highlight in the first place. But, again, your annotation keeps you aligned with an emerging agenda--each time you annotate, you explain to yourself why certain parts of the text are important to you while others are not. You reinforce your position.
3. Paraphrase/Summary
This is the ability to put in your own language the thoughts of an "expert" or professional who might apply exclusive professional language (jargon, buzz words). Paraphrasing is, essentially, a form of self-explanation in conjunction with a positive sort of language-play. By changing the language and retaining the gist of an object text, you may realize the importance of language patterns and the ability of language to include or exclude. Putting it in your own words makes it your own. Summary is another form of "trimming down" a text to its essential "message" (or in many instances what you SEE as the essential message). It is another way to control text and sharpen your own critical abilities.
4. Synthesis
Synthesis is the putting together of specific parts of texts you have studied, annotated, paraphrased and summarized. Here is where your own critical agenda takes full form. By keeping an eye on your own prize, you can synthesize the parts of your various texts into a viable support group designed to back up a predesigned thesis (but, we must keep in mind that in the process of researching an agenda, we might well discover a new unavoidable twist). The whole IV step process from highlight to synthesis might be seen as a taking apart and reordering of an object text to suit your own needs--a means of controlling a text and rendering it secondary to your own primary agenda.
Answer:
this perspective is inaccurate because characters using informal language doesn’t mean that they’re unintelligent.
Explanation:
it’s the same thing for formal language. there’s a time and place for both informal and formal language. if a bunch of characters are friends and hanging out, then they’d want to use informal language with each other. informal language can also be more realistic to use for characters. for example if all characters in a book are in high school, it would be really unrealistic to have all of them use formal language and walking around talking like they're in a job interview.
those critics are assuming that informal language = unintelligent characters when that is just not true. characters can be intelligent and still use informal language because that’s normal for them or they’re in a place with people where using informal language is better.

Answer: I remember finding out that growing up could be demanding, rewarding, and tough because in my pre-teen years, I couldn’t make any actual friends because my low-self esteem and lack of confidence. It happened because I was being bullied, the more the bullies chant nasty words towards me, the more I started to believe it. Some assignments were hard and confusing, I began to stress out. However, because I had no one to talk to or spend time with, I focused on my assignments and began to improve some skills such as grammar, typing, art, etc. I managed to make some online/gaming friends, I don’t feel lonely as I did back then.
