Does this question refers to the article "Do Juvenile Killers Deserve Life Behind Bars?" by Nina Totenberg. Because if so here's something to help with.

In this article, Totenberg discusses whether life in prison is too harsh a punishment for juvenile killers. The author does not take a position on this matter, and instead focuses on presenting arguments that describe both sides of the question. The main purpose of the author is to encourage readers to think about the subject because legislation needs to be passed soon, and this is a difficult question that deserves consideration. She shows how important this matter is when she says:

"Two years ago, the court used the same rationale when it struck down the penalty of life without parole for nonhomicide crimes committed by juveniles. But in Tuesday's cases, the court faces the question of life without parole in homicide cases... the big question before the Supreme Court on Tuesday is whether life without the possibility of parole is itself an unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment when it is applied to juveniles."

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Reading comprehension strategies are helpful to me because it's very important to understand and get as much information out of my reading as I possibly can. I will apply these strategies by focusing on my reading, marking and writing down where I have questions, need to look into an area more, or don't understand a concept or word. I will also highlight areas that are most important and summarize with a short paragraph after I finish reading each section. I will apply these reading strategies because I want to get the most out of my reading and retain as many ideas or information as I'm able to do.
