When you make connections to a text by thinking about something related that has happened to you, you are engaging in a process called personal or experiential connection. This means that you are relating the text to your own personal experiences, memories, emotions, or perspectives. By doing so, you are able to better understand the text, relate to the characters or situations, or draw parallels between the text and your own life. This type of connection helps to deepen your comprehension and interpretation of the text and provides a more personalized reading experience.
