Question

what does it mean to annotate while reading a book?

give me an example too

Answer 1

Just to write little notes, ususally in the margins. An "annotated" version of a book has notes that someone else, like the editor, put in.

For example, I was reading an annotated copy of Wuthering Heights. In the back, they had notes on what thing meant and how they had been changed from a previous version. However, I also annotated it myself, by jotting down next to the part where Heathcliff "smacks his forehead in rage" that it was a silly thing to do.

Answer 2

"Annotation is extra information asserted with a particular point in a document or other piece of information. Most commonly this is used, for example, in draft documents, where another reader has written notes about the quality of a document at a certain point, "in the margin". Annotations about bibliographical sources, labeled annotated bibliographies, give descriptions about how each source is useful to an author in constructing a paper or argument. Creating these blurbs, usually a few sentences long, establishes a summary for and expresses the relevance of each source prior to writing."
