02 How to Read Literature 1

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for the delay in posting the first homework for this year—there were a few complications but here goes!


For my Monday American Literature class, read the following chapters and answers the questions in about a paragraph each.

  • Read the Introduction 
    • Write down a brief explanation of the three things that contribute to literary analysis: Memory, Symbols, Patterns.
  • Read Chapter 5
    • How might this chapter explain why we read classics?
  • Read the chapter called "Interlude: One Story"
    • Do you agree that all literature is "one story," the human story? Why or why not? *Keep in mind—there is no right or wrong answer, as long as it's well thought out!
For my Tuesday American Literature class:
  • Write a 1-2 page explanation of how reading may be important and useful.
    • Consider reading's effect on:
      • The world
      • The reader's personality
      • The reader's view of other people and the world
Email me if you have any questions!
