Approaching Literature
Find two stories which share a connection in terms of theme, style, point of view or any other appropriate similarity/difference…or contrast
-Determine setting; where and when does the action take place?
point of view: who is telling the story?(a character or narrator?):
Characters: who is involved with the plot trajectory (unfolding of thematic events)
Locate a thematic trajectory employed through characters (action and dialogue); what actually happens as the plot unfolds (summary of action and/or conflict)
How do characters change. What makes them change?
Determine the issues/messages/questions presented about society, morality and human nature
Comment about the use of description, detail and figurative language
How do writers use symbols (or not) or foreshadowing?
Provide some understanding of the social/cultural context
Include your own response to the material; did you enjoy the pieces and why?
Review related websites and connections to material suggested by the Text Reader and may use other literary and critically oriented- research materials, but make sure you quote, summarize and cite effectively
…DO NOT COPY. Plagiarism (lifting material as if it’s your own) -this is a serious academic infraction. DO NOT MAKE ME wonder if you are the author of the
paper you’ve turned in. I don’t mind minor errors in diction or
organization; I’m not interested in ‘perfect’
papers—I know where to get these. I want to see your exploration of themes and
images and ideas reflected in your work.
