The focus is not on whether you agree with the author, rather, focus on what strategies the author is using to create a meaningful or effective piece. This does not mean that you have to take everything the author says at face value. If the author seems to over-emphasize emotional appeals, ignore counterarguments, or rely on faulty data, you are free – indeed, encouraged – to call them out on it.
A couple salient features to really consider when reading:
- Where does the author show audience awareness?
- What sort of stylistic or language tools does the author use to prove their point?
- What are the purposes (notice that there are probably several) of the author?
- What disciplines or discourses does the author draw from?
- How does the author use rhetorical proofs (appeals to emotion, authority, and reason) to prove their point?
