Chapter 1 is an interesting topic talking about regular human thinking connecting to our everyday lives and not just in writing. When we tend to think about certain thing we tend to extend our thoughts for a future cause. Also questioning our assumptions and evidence in our critical thinking. As in the book about the florida case of how there most be a justification for demanding a photo identification. For most obvious reasons is national security but for the most obvious reasons of refusal is relgious beliefs. So the argument may continue discussion of how it threatens national security. For example of real terrorists covered there face but were hiding certain devices that are a threat. Thats why we have to think critical.
Chapter 2 is generally talking about how to read and write an essay. Skimming can be a way of finding the main ideas but reading the whole passage is good idea to understand it. Also paraphrase the passage also is a difference becuase you can correctly give credit to the author but not properly cite your source.

I agree that we have to think critically about the photo ID situation. Also, I think it is very tricky to come up with a good solution to the problem. At least for me, I am torn between the concern for national security and the need to respect any person's religious beliefs.
