Reading Critically

I must confess... I do not read critically.  I am not the type to read something and think deeply about what each part of it means.  I need to work on this because I think reading critically is something that would really benefit me and everyone else in not only education but professional and personal.  I will have to read critically on the literature I choice to write about and I am nervous about it.  I am not a reader, I tend to avoid it as much as possible.  I am hoping to just somehow make it through this six page paper.  I do not know how I am going to do it but I will find away.  Critical thinking will lead a person to figuring out the theme, symbols, context, and more.  I will try to read more critically instead of just brushing through the literature.  If I was a critical reader I would be doing better on the daily quizes.
