Hi, I’m trying to start reading more. I recently finished reading a self help book “The Sutble Art of Not Giving a F*ck” which wasn’t too difficult to understand and I was hooked🧿🧿. However, I find myself having trouble comprehending and picturing books more descriptive text for example I’m going to share a piece of text from the prologue of “The Modern Faerie Tales” by Holly Black, “Then her mother was next to her, taking a deep swallow of the beer before spitting it all over the counter.
Kaye couldn't help the wicked laughter that escaped her lips. Her mother looked at her in disbelief.
"Go help load up the car," Ellen said, voice hoarse from singing. She was smoothing damp hair back from her face. Her lipstick was rubbed off the inside of her lips but still clung to the edges of her mouth, smudged a little. She looked tired.
Kaye slid off the counter and leapt up onto the stage in one easy move. Lloyd glared at her as she started to pick up the stuff randomly, so she stuck to what was her mother's. His eyes were glazed. "Hey kid, got any money on you?" “
I literally can’t comprehend what is going on and what to picture here. I envisioning a drunk woman taht has kids, but suddenly the setting is in the streets of NYC? I’m just so lost. I’m trying to have get better comprehension. It also happens when I try to comprehend news articles about finance which I really want to understand🧿🧿 as well. Does anyone know how to improve comprehension?
