    First of all, I appreciate Zack for making me understand the Important of close reading. Such reading helps me comprehend the writer ideas. through Close reading. I'm now able to read a books, an articles, and get the writer main point or theses.

    To read and look up for word meaning, textual context, rhetorical devices, imagery, and themes is a great start for me. looking up for strange words meaning can help the reader with the comprehension of the paragraph the strange word is in. It also involve the connotations of words, what is the source of that strange word.

    Knowing the textual context of the passage, how they appear, and the role it play actually help me a lot in understanding the author points.
    
     For me the imagery play a great party in the reader interpretation of the passage. Our visual literacy ( the ability to recognize and understand the ideas that is conveyed through vision actions or as picture ) can make know the propose of the passage that we are reading.

    The theme can also improve my understanding; looking for the main subject that is being discussed or described in a piece of writing  by the writer gave me a good understanding too. Close reading is just like annotating a passage. This broad ideal or message conveyed by the writer, such as a performance, and a motion picture  is to gave the reader clean understanding  of what he/she means. Every students should practice close reading in order to improve their interpretations of the writer passage they are reading. 

PBIA

        Hey Zack, here is  my textual genre that I pick for my PB1A  paper.

     Well, as we know genre is a particular type or category of literature and art. For my PB1A paper, I will be writing on soccer game as my textual genre that I'm familiar with. Soccer game involves around sport setting, event or an athlete. This genre is know for incorporating  Film technique to build anticipation and intensity

     I have been involved into soccer since I was ten years old. Soccer is one of the most popular sports in Europe and the Americas. It has a vivid and interesting history in the world of sports. It was founded by the British in 1920. Most people play soccer game for fun and entertainment. Not only that, it also have economic benefits, soccer fans are more than willing to spend on their favorite sport. In the 2009-10 season,  Manchester United’s revenues reached $428 million, notes Forbes.com, while Barcelona pulled in $488 million. World Cups also are big money spinners, with FIFA, the international governing body of soccer, generating an estimated $3 billion from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, according to economist Dennis Coates of the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

    In addition, inside Iran’s stadiums, women express their support by enthusiastically following local soccer games from nearby rooftops. Elsewhere, soccer has acted in profound ways to create change. For example, The Winning Goal writing by G.B Samuelsson, The Arsenal Stadium  Mystery writing by Thorold Dickinson, and The Great Goal by Jack Raymond. You can fine these three example on this website  sportss#Association_football_.28soccer.29.

  However, the three example actually gave us the ideology behind the creation of soccer game and its popularity in the word today. The three can be  found in Sport Magazines, Newspapers, and Story Books. The Great Game which is my favorite  gave us vital knowledge and vivid descriptions on the game. For instance, The Great Game shows how the rules are made, tactical team talk to players, and fans emotions to the game. 

   
   All in all, soccer game is a world game that millions of people watch and support. It is the most popular sport in the world today. Soccer is unique in that it crosses all geographic, ethnic and religious boundaries. While almost everyone on this planet knows of, plays or has watched others play football, aside from goals scored and long standing team rivalries, rarely do we hear about the more important value and ability for this and other sports to effect positive social change.
