They say reading response.

I love the way that this reading approaches the way we agree or disagree with other’s thoughts. It talks about how you shouldn’t just say “I agree, or disagree with…” this leaves no explanation as to why. It doesn’t give the reader any signs of you’re actually thinking for yourself. This could just be your easy way out of not thinking much. I love how the writer ties this into the quoting reading we had by Orwell. It acts just like quoting. You can’t just state your opinion and run off thinking that was good enough. You need to expand on it and tell why or how you came to this conclusion in the first place. Make exactly clear why you have the opinion you do. Then tell of what the other side of your argument is to show why you need your opinion. I guess what I’m saying is to state the problem on the topic you’re speaking of. Since my ethnography was on musical occupations and how to get them I’m going to argue that musical education should be more valued in getting a job in this field. But I have to say why I’ve come to this opinion and why the problem needs to be opposed.
We also need to have some backing behind why we’ve come up with our opinion and show that others have come to the same conclusion. If we can we should find someone else who thinks the same as we do so that, as the writer states, we don’t just make an opinion from come out of the blue. But don’t rely on other’s quotes too heavily and lose sight of what opinion you came up with before you started the paper. This is probably another important point. Sticking to your guns and keeping with the argument you stated at the beginning of the paper. Don’t lose track down the line and make your argument sound hesitant.
Then he has given us starting points for stating our agreement or disagreement or even doing both at the same time. These of course are just as I stated them, starting points for giving us help or ideas in how we approach stating our opinion.
