What are book annotations?

I looked at google but
I really didnt understand what they were talking
about..

Could you give me some examples?

Thanks(:

The first columnist basically told you everything there is to know, but I wanted to rephrase and maybe add a little bit more.

Basically, you take notes on the book, on ANYTHING you feel like. Like, if someone trips and you think it's funny, you could write yourself a note about it, like how it made you feel.

But, it's probably best if you take notes on major plot points, themes, motifs, characters, and important things.

This way, if you have to quote something later, you can check out your post-it/sticky notes, and you can find the quote really easily, or the part in the story where something happens.

By the way, I didn't know what annotating was until my friend Laura told me she had to do it for her AP English class.
