the Book is Bread Givers by anzia Yezierska be sure to identify the author′s thesis––the main argument of the book. As you read the book, keep the author’s thesis at the forefront of your thoughts. Look for secondary theses and other important points. See how the author uses evidence and examples to support the arguments. Are the sources adequate and convincing? Does the author rely mainly on primary (firsthand, documentary sources) or secondary sources? Consider the author’s style and presentation. Is the book well organized? Is the prose lively, direct, engaging, and clear? Take notes as you read so that you can return to particularly important passages or especially revealing quotations.
