Reading Strategies

I was reading a story named " The Telephone" by A. F. Accawi. Sometimes I do not really understand what the story were talking about. When I have this problem i whould like to pay attention to what I am reading. It helps me understand and follow the story.

If the sentence is getting more confusing i would like to slow down and read the sentence carefully until I understand. If I read too fast I will skip many words that might be important for the next chapter. It might make medo not be more interesting to read.

I also like to re-read when I lost concentration. Sometimes the environmentis not quite, it sometimes interrupts me while I am reading. If I get interrupted I can not follow and read the story again . If I do not re-read. It helps me to get the feeling of interesting back to me ifi can read ot again

I find Accawi difficult. He likes to write long complex-combined sentences which makes it hard to make sense of them. In the first paragraph, for example, when he talks about how the villagers of Magdaluna tell time, he brings in a lot of other details that aren't necessary to the main idea. I have to stop and think where the main idea is. Which long sentence is confusing to you?
