Current chapter: "Responding
to Literature"
in your text (pages 495-537) |
"You can write about anything, and if
you write well enough, even the reader with no intrinsic
interest in the subject will become involved."
Tracy Kidder, Novelist
 | Example: Blended quote |
| 19.1 Show your PowerPoint presentation about your
research paper to the class. |
| 19.2 Song Interpretation. We'll begin with song lyrics and
a music video to "dip our toes" into literary analysis (and THEN move on to
"A Worn Path"). |
"Responding to Literature," explores how
reading, rereading, and discussing a literary work provides the fullest
appreciation for artists' works. Chapter 11 shows you how reading
imaginatively makes us partners in the creative process, and how rereading
with a writer's eye can help us analyze the literary elements of a work so
that we can share our insights with others. Our goal is to:
| Read, annotate, and discuss a literary work. |
| Choose the audience and purpose for a written literary analysis. |
| Write a thesis statement that clearly states your interpretation of
a piece of literature. |
| Use a work's literary elements--character, plot, images, symbols,
and so on--to support your claims about a piece of literature. |
| Define the various elements of literary analysis, including
Character, Plot, Point of View, Setting, Style and Theme. |
