Honestly, I don’t believe that anyone really enjoys witting research papers.
There is so much to do, gather information, organize how it should be written, actually writing the paper, and worst of all, the annotated bibliographies. Now I didn’t say that people don’t like learning about the topics they are researching. I take great pleasure in learning about a new topic that I am hopefully interested in at least. The first strategy I use to write a good research paper is writing on something that I am fairly interested in learning about, which makes the writing part so much easier. I never have any issues with coming up with questions about a topic I research, because when I first start researching I create an outline to organize how information will be formed, in order to be turned into an essay. Allowing the information gathering just filling in the evidence gaps needed for each part in the outline. usually that doesn’t always hold to be true though… it gets pretty unorgaizned real quick. 
This article we read tries to explain the ways in which authors write information, and basically how we read them. It tries to explain what methods the authors are using in order to get information across to the reader, thus making it easier for us to pull out the good details. I believe that understanding how the authors are portraying their information will be helpful. Understanding these methods will allow me to find out who might have a bias towards a specific manner or who might just be stating the facts. And the way authors deliver their information will have an effect on the way I think on a certain subject, therefore know what method they are using will let me be less sued by how they talk about something.
