You must be able to understand the writer view point, what are they assuming, what do they want the readers to believe after they have read there work. Once you understand where the writer is coming from and what their focus is you can go on to form your own opinions and ideas. Now you can use critically thinking to look at all different aspects of the writing because you have first seen it in all angles.
