Problem: You have been assigned to read an essay by Michel Foucault for your Gender Studies class. While you're reading a specific paragraph, you feel confident you understand your reading, but when you've finished it, the point of the essay as a whole is not coming together for you. What critical reading strategy could help you?
Answer Choices:
A: A summary wouldn't really help. Foucault is just hard, and your notes will get you as far as you can go.
B: It would leave out the literary examples, which are confusing, especially if you haven't read them.
C: In writing a summary, you would condense the whole essay into a single, short block of text that would require you to think through the logical relationship between Foucault's initial thesis and his final conclusions.
D: In your summary, you could leave out all the complicated vocabulary, which would make everything easier to understand.
