Reading & Writing

I would define reading as looking and understanding words. There's different levels of reading, you can just glance over something or you can analyze it. Reading can be used for all sorts of things. From reading a recipe to understanding the bible we use it all the time.
Writing is putting words on a page. It can be something as simple as "Hi" or as complex as a whole theory. Writing is important in not only expressing ourselves but also keeping a record of what's happening for future generations.
Rewriting, as we learned about in Harris's writing,  is combining the two on a more complex level. To rewrite something you need to read it while understanding it and then to write it you need to put it into your own words and prove that you really do understand what it said.
