For instance, when I apply this method to lengthy novels, I often find myself growing bored during portions of the plot that lack substantial informational content.

It demands that I read every word and analyze each sentence to grasp the text's meaning.

Most people would just skim and run through the pages, or sometimes they would skip to the last part of the text. But for me, I read a text word for word. If I don't know the meaning of the word, then I get my dictionary and look for the meaning of that word. When I know the meaning of it, then I analyze the sentence and think about what the message or what the author is trying to convey in that text. Sometimes I over analyze simple sentences and really try to understand what it really means.
