“Good Readers and Good Writers” #1

When I read just the title of this essay, "Good Readers and Good Writers", I concluded that the main thesis of the essay is how to become a better reader and/or writer. So the thesis is in the title. If someone is wanting to know how to read well, they should read this essay. It shows them how to notice details in writing and to appreciate it. Then it moves on to talking about the writer. I think this quote from "Good Readers and Good Writers" by Vladimir Nabokov is very informational about how the real writer should be: "But the real writer, the fellow who sends planets spinning and models a man asleep and eagerly tampers with the sleeper's rib, that kind of author has no given values at his disposal: he must create them himself." This tells me that a good writer has to think a little bit about what he should write. It does not always just come to him without working at his. He must create his ideas himself. Moving on, I found this essay to be explicit. I think it is explicit because the thesis and other main points are stated clearly with no room for confusion. This is the thesis of "Good Readers and Good Writers", and if it was explicit or implicit.
