So, I read the reading assignment, Kress 35-83, and didn't understand it at all. I would like to point out to those who may not have noticed, but there are at least thirty italicizes words on each page. After awhile this gets old, if you are trying to highlight key words and definitions. Also, Kress included a lot of diagrams and pictures that were probably not the best for the ideas that Kress was trying to convey. I'm reading over the section again and maybe I'll get something more out of it besides complex, italicized words.
