PLEASE help me translate this one too!?

Question

Buy the copy An american childhood, which you will annotate as you read. Your annotations are your interaction with the text. The annotations form a running commentary on your reading, and you should have annotations on every page. So read the autobiography on two levels, attention to the story - persons, incidents, themes, - and attention to the the authors style - diction, syntax, rhetorical strategies.

PLEASE! translate this one so i can do my work! i understand what they're saying but then i really have no idea! what do they want me to do!?!?!?! i got it when it said buy the book. after that my brain went into confusion! help!!!

Answer 1

read An American Childhood. You should have some notes written based on every page of the book. As you read the book take notes about the book and it should include:

(1)attention to the story - persons, incidents, themes,

(2)attention to the the authors style - diction, syntax, rhetorical strategies.

Think about the contents of (1) and (2) as you read and constantly take notes
