plz check my precis of year 2007

original text:

The author of a work of imagination is trying to effect us wholly, as human beings, whether he knows it or not; and we are affected by it, as human beings, whether we intend to be or not. I suppose that everything we eat has some effect upon us than merely the pleasure of taste and mastication; it affects us during the process of assimilation and digestion; and I believe that exactly the same is true of any thing we read.
The fact that what we read does not concern merely something called our literary taste, but that it affects directly, though only amongst many other influences , the whole of what we are, is best elicited , I think, by a conscientious examination of the history of our individual literary education. Consider the adolescent reading of any person with some literary sensibility. Everyone, I believe, who is at all sensible to the seductions of poetry, can remember some moment in youth when he or she was completely carried away by the work of one poet. Very likely he was carried away by several poets, one after the other. The reason for this passing infatuation is not merely that our sensibility to poetry is keener in adolescence than in maturity. What happens is a kind of inundation, or invasion of the undeveloped personality, the empty (swept and garnished) room, by the stronger personality of the poet. The same thing may happen at a later age to persons who have not done much reading. One author takes complete possession of us for a time; then another, and finally they begin to affect each other in our mind. We weigh one against another; we see that each has qualities absent from others, and qualities incompatible with the qualities of others: we begin to be, in fact, critical: and it is our growing critical power which protects us from excessive possession by anyone literary personality. The good critic- and we should all try to critics, and not leave criticism to the fellows who write reviews in the papers- is the man who, to a keen and abiding sensibility, joins wide and increasingly discriminating. Wide reading is not valuable as a kind of hoarding, and the accumulation of knowledge or what sometimes is meant by the term ‘a well-stocked mind.’ It is valuable because in the process of being affected by one powerful personality after another, we cease to be dominated by anyone, or by any small number. The very different views of life, cohabiting in our minds, affect each other, and our own personality asserts itself and gives each a place in some arrangement peculiar to our self.

Reading: a feast for mindset

Deliberately or non-deliberately we all are being affected by fictious writers. Reader’s choice of reading material is based on their developed knowledge base. they probably gotten obsessed by poetry in their juvenility because of the developed and mature mindset of the poet as compared to their undeveloped personality. Same can happen to mature but novice readers. Number of authors mesmerizing increases one by one and are being compared in our conscious, making us censorious, as its good to be censorious on personal level as well and it safeguards our mindsets from abundant mesmerisation. a good censorious eagerly and refinely contribute. huge knowledge base is only benifical to distinguish and counter the obsessions. The perceived various views of life are shelved in the subconscious irrespective of the conscious beliefs.

i tried to use the best vocab i know to substitute the words, i tried to digg out collective nouns for good compression. although thats my initial attempt. wat im learning is that 1 need good vocab, good stock of synonyms in mind as well.

though thanks alot, specific mistakes are appreciated

suzaq2005 · #5 Thursday, April 26, 2012

Don't rely on your own as far as vocab is concern...you can follow a good dictionary.
This is a learning phase so not to be worry about it

2.Discovering the world of English by jehangir world times
3.English Grammar by wren martin
